Satisfactory: How To Get Time Crystals

Satisfactory's late-game presents a fascinating paradox: maximum organization alongside maximum chaos. With numerous interconnected systems humming simultaneously, understanding new production processes can be challenging. This guide focuses on crafting Time Crystals, a crucial late-game component.

Time Crystals are essential for several endgame recipes. Their creation involves multiple steps and prerequisites.

From Coal to Diamonds

After establishing coal production, the next step is converting coal into diamonds—the precursor to Time Crystals.

Crucially, Diamond production requires the Tier 8 HUB's Matter Conversion Milestone, unlocking the Particle Accelerator.

Creating Diamonds in the Particle Accelerator

Diamond creation, while straightforward, necessitates Tier 9 HUB access. Unlocking the Particle Accelerator (via the Particle Enrichment Milestone) is the first step.

The Particle Accelerator is energy-intensive, consuming 250-750MW depending on the recipe and progress. A robust power grid, ideally supported by the Tier 8 Nuclear Power Milestone, is essential.

The basic recipe is 20 Coal per Diamond, yielding 30 Diamonds per minute (one every two seconds).

Alternative Diamond Recipes

The Particle Accelerator offers alternative diamond recipes:

Recipe	Result
12 Coal 24 Limestone	Cloudy Diamond
10 Crude Oil	Oil-Based Diamond
24 Petroleum Coke	Petroleum Diamond
30 Coal 2 Packaged Turbofuel	Turbo Diamonds

Diamonds to Time Crystals

With diamonds ready, you'll need the Converter (unlocked via Tier 9's Matter Conversion Milestone). This Milestone also unlocks resources crucial for boosting coal production: the SAM scannable resource and the crafted Reanimated SAM, both used in the Converter to significantly increase coal output.

The Converter transforms diamonds into Time Crystals at a 2:1 ratio (2 Diamonds per Time Crystal), each conversion taking ten seconds. No alternative recipes exist, but any type of diamond works.

Time Crystal Applications

Time Crystals serve as ingredients in three Particle Accelerator recipes:

Recipe	Result
2 Time Crystals 2 Dark Matter Crystals 12 Quartz Crystals 12 Excited Photonic Matter	1 Power Shard 12 Dark Matter Residue
5 Time Crystals 1 Supercomputer 15 Ficsite Trigon 25 Excited Photonic Matter	1 Neural-Quantum Processor 25 Dark Matter Residue
1 Time Crystal 5 Dark Matter Residue	2 Dark Matter Crystals
