Is there a pulsar quartz mine hiding anywhere?

[Major Ahole]

I need one

[dj8472]

There are 27 pre-placed pulsar quartz on the map, storage containers have a chance of giving them at trees stage and above. you can craft them at 175 GTi. but you can't get them with miners

[Coops]

They can be on the ground in the black meteor field biome. At least one on top of the waterfall mountain. There are two caves that have them. One is next to the zeolite cave. IIRC the other is off the osmium cave on the other side of the map.

[azulius]

some in caves and chests, no way to auto mine, later on can craft and occasional asteroid drops in about 7 of them each time

There's 2 on top of the Waterfall mountain.

Do the Laser Quartz nuggets in the mines or the meteor field respawn, or are they gone when they're gone ?

[Coops]

They do not respawn.

Still, by the time you can really use pulsar quartz in any real quantity, there is a chance of pulsar quartz meteors. Just have to keep an eye out for them, and make sure not to leave the area or exit the game till you've harvested what you can from them.

There is a possible respawn in one of the bunkers, though I expect that's a bug/exploit, so it shouldn't be relied upon

I will second what was said about meteors earlier. About the time I started unlocking recipes that wanted Quartz, I had four meteors that yielded 6 quartz each. Those, plus what I found in chests, allowed me to build:

4 Teleporters (3 each)
3 Fusion Plants (5 each)
4 Cells (3 each, 3 for the wreck near the waterfall, one for the wreck on the hill, one for a drone station)

That's a total of 39 Quartz and I'm not even to the point I can make them yet, and I still have some left in a locker, enough that I can make the cell to open the ship in the desert.

IMO, I'd place priority on these:

1). Teleporters, just 2 for now -- one near the uranium mine, and one near the alloy mine.
2). A cell for the drone station.
3). Cells for opening the wrecks.
4). Power Plants.

I put the Power Plants at the lowest priority because, well, you can make an infinite number of T2 nuclear plants. And sure, it takes 4+ nuclear plants to equal one Fusion plant, but you can build as many as you want.

As for Teleporters, I'd prioritize saving time gathering alloy and uranium (two of the biggest time-wasters at this stage of the game), and this is assuming your main base is near the lake in the center of the map. If your main base is somewhere else, you might want to place your teleporter near the Sulphur area (if your base is near the lake, it's close enough you don't need one there).

there are purple asteroids that occur occasionally. Each one can drop between 10 - 20 of the purple crystals. If the sky turns purple make sure you look out, you can get 2 types of spawns, supper alloy, or rarely purple crystals. Other than that there is a cave in the area by the stargate, next to the uranium cave that has a few in it. Also the dark moon area is good for about 8 - 10 of them.

I was playing a few hours ago and I had 3 pulsar roids drop outside my center base in what seemed less than an hour. I had the super fast shower a few times in between. I had not seen a meteroid crash for like 2 hours of gameplay and then that happened.

This is indeed a thing. Though it's finnicky like all unintentional double dips. Sometimes it's there, sometimes it isn't, sometimes it bugs out in your inventory, etc.

^This.

You will have pulsar meteor shower and get more pulsar quartz than you will ever need. Don't fret it.

Cords?

Hey, Necro.

This post is a year old and not relevant anymore. The information is out-dated and incorrect for 1.0. Start a new post with an actual question if you want an answer... Btw, there are no cords in the game.
