Pulsar Crystals

[Denny Locke]

Why do the pink pulsar meteors not produce pulsar crystals anymore?

[Wiawyr]

They do.

you get up to 10 from each quartz meteor

The graphics are duller than they used to be. The crystals will be there, but not as easy to see -- they don't sparkle and shine pink, like they used to. Make sure you get there quickly, I've had them despawn.

I haven't noticed an issue but my last game had reached a point where I make my own so I haven't paid attention to meteors recently.

Never once saw a cargo/blue storage crate meteor that I've heard people say exists though.

I've had a few that don't seem to drop any. Maybe they end up embedded in the landscape? I have noticed that since the recent updates, no pulse crystals are visible among the initial rubble, but if you wait a bit for the rubble to disappear, the crystals will generally be there. It can be tricky if it hits in a body of water, or if you didn't see it hit or if you forget where the rubble field was. The game is great at sending resource meteors when I'm inside doing something, or exploring a wreck, or simply traversing landscape with full inventory!

I have noticed occasional bugs, depending on where the meteors hit, where the crystals are stuck up in the air and inaccessible. This happens most often with the uranium and iridium meteors from the rockets, but it's happened with others too.

i had no problem wit pulsar meteorites so far.
I usually wait for the core to despawn, then the rubble to despawn, which takes longer, then i pick up the quarz.
No issue with despawning ores, pulsar quarz seems to stay rather long, i once forgot to loot one, and was reminded when another one fell, and the pulsar quarz was just lying there, all 10 pieces of it.

Where does this pulsar meteor hit? I am in bad need of pulsar crystals and can't make my own because I also cannot find any more uranium...

It is random, depending on where you are when it is triggered. There's only one meteor and it is loud, slow, and pink, so it is very obvious that's what it is. Just make sure you look, when you hear the storm noise, and you'll be able to tell.

Have you found all the caves that have pulsar quartz? There are several. Do you have the miner T2, yet? That will mine the rare ores like uranium, osmium, zeolite. If not, push pressure higher to help you get it faster -- it's near the end of the list. Also, heat multiplier rockets attract uranium meteors.
