Galvan Technology, Omni Crystals, and Relics Guide

guide

Omni Crystals in Alien Evolution are forged by consolidating Omni Shards across 16 distinct color varieties into condensed energy matrices. Beyond powering transformation devices, Galvan engineering enables the fabrication of modular storage containers, reinforced structural panels, and durable tool sets.

Refining Omni Shards into Omni Crystals

Omni Shards represent raw crystalline energy fragments found in alien structures. They exist in sixteen color variants: Lime, White, Orange, Magenta, Light Blue, Yellow, Pink, Gray, Light Gray, Cyan, Purple, Blue, Brown, Green, Red, and Black.

Consolidating these shards requires a full 3x3 crafting grid. Placing 9 Omni Shards of the same color across all nine slots creates 1 Omni Crystal of that matching shade (for example, 9 Lime Omni Shards produce 1 Lime Omni Crystal). These crystals serve as primary energy conduits in advanced recipes.

Machined Architectural Blocks and Galvan Pod Storage

Galvan technology allows builders to infuse mundane earthly minerals with crystalline resonance to construct futuristic installations:

Machined Metal: Place 1 Lime Omni Shards in the center slot and surround it with 8 Stone to manufacture 16 Machined Metal blocks. These smooth metallic blocks provide clean technological walling.
Machined Panel: Place 1 Brown Omni Shards in the center slot and surround it with 8 Dripstone Block items to produce 16 Machined Panel blocks.
Galvan Pod: Place 1 Chest in the center slot, 4 Galvan Scrap in the cardinal slots, and 4 Iron Ingot pieces in the four outer corners to assemble 1 Galvan Pod. This reinforced container protects field provisions in high-tech laboratories.

Galvan Equipment and Smithing Template Cloning

Standard iron tools can be reinforced with extraterrestrial plating using the specialized Galvan smithing upgrade system:

Cloning the Template: To duplicate the template, arrange 7 Cobbled Deepslate around the border, place 1 Raw Titanium in the middle slot, and place 1 smithing_template_galvan in the top center slot. This crafts 2 smithing_template_galvan items.
Upgrading Equipment: Inserting the template, an iron implement, and 1 Galvan Plate into a Smithing Table produces specialized Galvan gear: Galvan Sword, Galvan Pickaxe, Galvan Axe, Galvan Shovel, and Galvan Hoe.

These tools combine high mining speeds with sturdy extraterrestrial resilience.

Uncovering Ancient Relics and Galvan Structures

Exploring alien remnants scattered across world terrain yields valuable historical artifacts and technological caches:

Ancient Relics: Placing 1 Ancient Urn (Sealed) flanked by 2 Ancient Key items in a crafting grid unseals the relic container to produce 1 Ancient Scroll. Confronting elite Machine Husk entities can also yield the Ancient Staff.
