Mineral Crystal Growth with the Chemical Crystallizer

guide

The Chemical Crystallizer serves as the culminating machine in Electrodynamics mineral processing, turning purified chemical solutions into solid high-purity crystals. Growing mineral crystals allows industrial facilities to achieve maximum ore multiplication yields and produce specialized optical materials.

Constructing the Chemical Crystallizer

The crystallizer requires precision electronic and structural components assembled on a crafting table:

Four Steel Plate items placed at the corners.
Two Elite Circuit components positioned on the top and bottom edges.
Two Bronze Gear pieces placed on the left and right edges.
One Motor located in the central slot.

Connecting the machine to a Medium Voltage (MV) power line supplies the electrical energy required to drive internal crystallization cooling coils. The machine features fluid input ports on its sides to accept piped solutions directly from filtration or electrolysis units.

Processing Pure Mineral Solutions

Before chemical crystallization can take place, raw ores must proceed through crushing, washing in sulfuric acid, and electrolytic purification in an electrolysis chamber to yield pure mineral solutions:

Pure aluminum solution pumped into the crystallizer precipitates into Aluminum Crystal.
Pure chromium solution crystallizes into Chromium Crystal.
Pure copper solution yields Copper Crystal.
Pure gold solution crystallizes into Gold Crystal.
Pure iron solution yields Iron Crystal.
Pure lead solution crystallizes into Lead Crystal.
Pure lithium solution forms Lithium Crystal.
Pure molybdenum solution yields Molybdenum Crystal.
Pure silver solution forms Silver Crystal.
Pure tin solution forms Tin Crystal.
Pure titanium solution yields Titanium Crystal.
Pure vanadium solution precipitates into Vanadium Crystal.
Pure netherite solution crystallizes into Carbyne Crystal.

Each pure mineral solution requires dedicated fluid piping to avoid cross-contamination in shared intake manifolds.

Industrial Non-Ore Crystallization

In addition to metallic ore crystallization, the machine handles specialized industrial polymer and ceramic conversions:

Liquid clay pumped into the machine solidifies into standard clay balls without needing manual scooping.
Liquid polyethylene plastic solution cools and crystallizes into polyethylene fibers used for fiberglass sheets and composite armor.
Molten lava pumped into the cooling chamber rapidly quenches into solid obsidian blocks.

Crushing harvested mineral crystals in a mineral crusher completes a quadruple ore multiplication loop, maximizing resource yields from mining operations. Installing automated item conduits along the base of the crystallizer pulls finished crystals into storage buffers continuously.
