A high-grade chemical product. Used to produce higher strength crystals with a crystal structure. It can also be directly gathered from rare organic crystal vein.

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.

• 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 Crystal, is relatively complex. It is easier to simply source these directly from rare veins that occur outside of your starting system once Interstellar travel is unlocked.
• Alternatively, production from Crude Oil does not rely on any non-renewable resources and, so long as the Hydrogen byproduct is disposed of, will operate indefinitely.
