Indium is a resource.

Summary

Indium (In) is a resource.

Game description

A chromatic metal, generated by fusion in the heart of a star. Such stellar material ends up forming deposits in the crust of local planets.

Indium is found on planets orbiting blue stars, and can be placed in a Refiner to create purified Chromatic Metal for use in the manufacture of advanced technologies.

Source

It can be found on planets orbiting blue stars. It's easy to spot because of its specific blue color.

Indium can be refined using a Refiner with the following ingredients:

• Indium ×1  +   Chromatic Metal ×1  →   Indium ×2  ("Chromatic Expansion", 0.36 sec./unit output)

Exploit

NOTE: prior to Synthesis update the Indium output was twice as high.

Once the player has Medium Refiner/Large Refiner, they can use it to produce limitless Indium:

1. Start with x6 Indium.
2. Refine x2 Indium to create x4 Chromatic Metal.
3. Refine x4 Indium and x4 Chromatic Metal to create x8 Indium.
4. Repeat steps 2-3, creating 8 Indium for every 6 Indium started with.

Convert 1/3 of your Indium to Chromatic Metal, then combine with remaining 2/3rds of Indium to make 33% more.

Note: Adding Pure Ferrite to this equation doubles the yield

1. Refine x1 Indium + x1 Pure Ferrite to create x4 Chromatic Metal.

Use

Crafting

Indium is used as an ingredient for crafting the following products:

• Albumen Pearl Orb  --  Indium x60  +  Paraffinium x20  →   Albumen Pearl Orb
• Atlantid Drive  --  Indium x250  +  Atlantideum x200  +  Living Glass x1  →   Atlantid Drive
• Modified Quanta  --  Novae Reclaiment x1  +  Indium x100  →   Modified Quanta
• Reality De-Threader  --  Indium x250  +  Magnetic Resonator x1  +  Antimatter Housing x6  →   Reality De-Threader
• Temporal Warp Computer  --  Warp Hypercore x1  +  Magnetic Resonator x2  +  Indium x250  →   Temporal Warp Computer

Refining

Indium is used as an ingredient for refining the following products using a Refiner:

• Chromatic Metal  --  Gold x1  +  Silver x1  +  Indium x1  →   Chromatic Metal x30  ("Chromatic Stellar Fusion", 4.8 sec./unit output)
• Chromatic Metal  --  Indium x2  →   Chromatic Metal x4  ("Extract Chromatic Material", 0.1 sec./unit output)
• Chromatic Metal  --  Pure Ferrite x1  +  Indium x1  →   Chromatic Metal x4  ("Chromatic Metal Fusion", 0.36 sec./unit output)
• Indium  --  Indium x1  +  Chromatic Metal x1  →   Indium x2  ("Chromatic Expansion", 0.36 sec./unit output)
• Magnetised Ferrite  --  Ferrite Dust x1  +  Indium x1  →   Magnetised Ferrite x4  ("Stellar / Metal Fusion", 0.09 sec./unit output)

Cooking

Indium is not used as an ingredient for cooking using a Nutrient Processor.
