Condensed Carbon is a resource.

Summary[ | ]

Condensed Carbon (C+) is a resource and one of the fuel elements.

Game description[ | ]

Advanced material, processed from regular carbon in a Refiner.

The increased molecule density offers a substantially improved energy-per-gram ratio.

Occasionally found in crystalline form. Harvesting large crystals may require an Advanced Mining Laser.

Sources[ | ]

  • In crystal minerals located on nearly every planet. The larger minerals require an Advanced Mining Laser. These are visible on the Scanner.
  • As a secondary element in some plants.

Condensed Carbon can be refined using a Refiner with the following ingredients:

  • SUBSTANCE.FUEL.1 Carbon ×2  →  SUBSTANCE.FUEL.2 Condensed Carbon ×1  ("Condense Carbon", 0.18 sec./unit output)
  • SUBSTANCE.FUEL.1 Carbon ×2  +  SUBSTANCE.AIR.1 Oxygen ×2  →  SUBSTANCE.FUEL.2 Condensed Carbon ×5  ("Oxygenate Carbon", 0.36 sec./unit output)
  • SUBSTANCE.FUEL.2 Condensed Carbon ×1  +  SUBSTANCE.AIR.1 Oxygen ×2  →  SUBSTANCE.FUEL.2 Condensed Carbon ×6  ("Oxygenate Carbon", 0.36 sec./unit output)
  • SUBSTANCE.PLANT.POOP Faecium ×1  +  SUBSTANCE.CREATURE.1 Mordite ×1  →  SUBSTANCE.FUEL.2 Condensed Carbon ×2  ("Feed Microbes", 0.36 sec./unit output)
  • SUBSTANCE.PLANT.POOP Faecium ×1  +  SUBSTANCE.FUEL.1 Carbon ×2  →  SUBSTANCE.FUEL.2 Condensed Carbon ×2  ("Feed Microbes", 0.36 sec./unit output)
  • SUBSTANCE.PLANT.POOP Faecium ×1  +  SUBSTANCE.FUEL.2 Condensed Carbon ×1  →  SUBSTANCE.FUEL.2 Condensed Carbon ×3  ("Feed Microbes", 0.36 sec./unit output)
  • SUBSTANCE.WATER.PLANT Cyto-Phosphate ×1  →  SUBSTANCE.FUEL.2 Condensed Carbon ×1  ("Algal Processing", 0.24 sec./unit output)
  • SUBSTANCE.BIOME.RADIO Uranium ×1  +  SUBSTANCE.LAUNCHSUB.1 Di-hydrogen ×1  →  SUBSTANCE.FUEL.2 Condensed Carbon ×2  ("Harness Energy", 0.04 sec./unit output)
