Note: Hydrogen created during the refining process during Crude Oil-based production must be recycled through the system to ensure full efficiency. Hydrogen quantity shown in final Stage is remaining surplus Hydrogen which can be diverted elsewhere.

Player Tips & Tricks

Organic Crystal is found in some plants that can be manually harvested. It is found in higher concentrations in plants that are purple.
The production chain for Organic Crystals is relatively complex. After unlocking interstellar travel, it is much easier to simply harvest Organic Crystals en masse from rare mineral veins outside the starting system.
Prior to version 0.7.18.6914, Crude Oil could be harvested indefinitely, so it was possible to produce an unlimited number of Organic Crystals using entirely renewable resources. This is no longer the case.
