Player Tips & Tricks

Grating Crystal is extremely valuable in the late game, as it greatly simplifies production of Photon Combiners (necessary for Solar Sails) and Casimir Crystals (necessary for Quantum Chips and, by extension, Small Carrier Rockets).

Small amounts of Grating Crystal can be randomly obtained by breaking rocks on lava planets.
