Summary

The Structure Matrix is one of the five basic source codes that keeps the CentreBrain simulating. It is needed for mid-tech research. Because the structure matrix recipe requires titanium, and titanium does not spawn on the starter planet, it is the first major product that requires the player to visit a different world. Automating the production of structure matrices is a big hurdle in the player's progression, necessitating the establishment of a complex production line to make organic crystals.

The interstellar logistics tech requires structure matrices to unlock; but is itself necessary to automate the production of structure matrices. Thankfully, the research requires only a very small amount of structure matrices, and can thus be pretty easily researched manually.

Player Tips & Tricks

One smelter making Diamonds using Energetic Graphite is enough for four Matrix Labs making Structure Matrices.
One Assembling Machine Mk.II making Titanium Crystals is enough for two Matrix Labs making Structure Matrices.
- One Assembling Machine Mk.I is enough for 1.5 (two are enough for 3).
- One Assembling Machine Mk.III is enough for 3.
