Pulsar Quartz
So with the new update you only get them in a single cave without mining and through boxes... but only when your index is high enough. so if you already openend most boxes in the game before you reached that level. you are stuck with like 5-6 quartz forever? Cause thats what it looks like for me right now. I cleaned out the cave, found one in boxes and now have 7 total. Barely enough for a single generator.

Why not just make nuclear generators? the materials to make them is infinite.

How do i make nuclear teleporters and fusion cells?

Why not use one of the gazillion threads about this topic? This forum really needs some mods. Even if that means half my posts get deleted. :P

There is no "nuclear teleporter".

What I was saying to do, that instead of making the fusion generator, make t2 nuclear generators instead.

You can make an infinite amount of them and they give 360 kWh each, and if you stack enough of them, you'll get the job done (stuff them in unimportant areas that you won't be visiting if you don't like seeing a million of them around your base)

and that solves the problem of not having enough pulsar quartz to build teleporters and fusion cells how exactly?

You didn't say Fusion Cells, you said "Generator".

Teleporters are optional, with a T3 Jetpack and a T4 O2 tank you can go almost anywhere in the map in one go from the "central" big lake area.

So...
/shrug

Also, I'm sure they will adjust how Quartz works in the future.

gosh, wait for the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ultra rare Pulsar Quartz Meteor event then....its raining pulsar quartz.... got 21 during the last meteor storm.

Very informative, thank you for posting, I had no idea that I can only look forward to getting six or seven pulsar quartz on my current save, as i have not yet come across the pulsar cave, I mean i would imagine its behind an ice wall. But I too have spent most of my time exploring the map and looting everything on it, dropping it all in shelter caches dotted across the map.

I did read that you cannot use the T2 drill on the pulsar quartz cave yet, and you can't craft it anymore. So, Yeah, if we want to build the tech that uses it we literally have to restart and only loot golden chests till we are at the TI required for them to spawn in chests, I thought pulsar quarts crafting recipes were gated enough.. I mean at least osmium is available before we can make use of it.

This game is early access. What you have now is not end game for the entire game. Wait until the next update, PQ will likely get another way to be gotten then.

Does a pulsar quartz storm have a particular color associated with it?

Seven PQ is enough for a fusion generator or two teleporters.
What's the problem?

its a survival game, a important part of survival is resource management. if you cannot make due with what you have..there is no point in getting more. the quarts is supposed to be rare, so you get to think about how to spent them wisely.

Is this the pulsar cave you're talking about? I found 6 here.
