Obtaining[edit | edit source]
Unlocking[edit | edit source]
Additionally, its resource scanner is unlocked in the Tier 7 milestone Bauxite Refinement.
Resource acquisition[edit | edit source]
Raw Quartz can be harvested by hand (default E) in trace amounts from resource deposits scattered across the world, or from inexhaustible resource nodes on which Miners can be constructed to extract automatically. Additonally, Lizard Doggos will ocassionally bring it when tamed.

Number of Raw Quartz resource nodes is as follows:
Node purity | Number of nodes | Mk.3 mining rate | Mk.3 mining rate at 250 % |
---|---|---|---|
Impure | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Normal | 11 | 2640 | 6600 |
Pure | 5 | 2400 | 6000 |
Total | 16 | 5040 | 10500* / 12600 |
*Note: The extraction rate of a Miner Mk.3 at 250 % is 1200/min, but a Mk.5 Conveyor can only carry 780/min, therefore the maximum mined amount cannot be transported.

Tips[edit | edit source]
- Raw Quartz is a great source of AWESOME Sink points in the early game given how early it can be obtained and the number of points it gives before it becomes useful in later tiers.
