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.

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

  • SUBSTANCE.BLUE.2 Indium x1  +  SUBSTANCE.STELLAR.2 Chromatic Metal x1  →  SUBSTANCE.BLUE.2 Indium x2  ("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.
