Raw Quartz

Raw Quartz is a semi-rare mid-game resource found in the world. It is processed into Quartz Crystals or Silica for further processing.

Obtaining

Unlocking

Raw Quartz is added to the Resource Scanner via the Quartz Research chain in the

MAM using:

10

Additionally, its resource scanner is unlocked in the Tier 7 milestone Bauxite Refinement.

Resource acquisiton

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. Additionally, Lizard Doggos will occasionally bring it when tamed.

Items produced per minute

	Miner Mk.1	Miner Mk.2	Miner Mk.3
Impure	30	60	120
Normal	60	120	240
Pure	120	240	480

	Miner Mk.1	Miner Mk.2	Miner Mk.3
Impure	75	150	300
Normal	150	300	600
Pure	300	600	780

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	2,640	6,600
Pure	5	2,400	3,900^* / 6,000
Total	16	5,040	10,500^* / 12,600

^*Note: The extraction rate of a Miner Mk.3 at 250 % is 1,200/min, but a Mk.5 Conveyor can only carry 780/min, therefore the maximum mined amount cannot be transported.

AWESOME Sink

Raw Quartz can be sunk into the

AWESOME Sink to yield 15 points.

Tips

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.
