Argon crystals disappear?

[FurySh0ck]

So, I got some argon crystals the other day and decided I should save them. The day after this every single one of them disapeared.
Yestarday I got another argon crystal, just to make sure I'll have at least 1, but today I logged in and realized I suddenly don't have any....
Can anyone help? It's really annoying.
(Not sure if I should pin that here or at bugs and Issues, so i'll just stick it here).

yeah, they decay

Argon Crystal is an unique resource because it decays over time

[Mad Matt Dog]

It's a really strange design choice. They decay over time, check the wiki page. What it means is that you have to plan what you want to build. So if you want a Kronen make sure you have all the other parts and get the Argon crystals last.

Sometimes they make babies too~

Yeah, Argon Crystals are the one and only resource that dissolves over time. Basically you don't "save them up" and instead have to go get some when you need them.

They aren't too terrible to get though, unless you're short on keys that is. If you are hurting for Void Keys, and need to make each run count, then be sure to smash all the little crates on missions as the crates have the best chance out of anything of dropping Argon. Or you could join a keyshare or a hosted void mission in recruiting chat.

does anyone know how much time argon crystals have? till they delete themselvesZ?

After a day, they argon

[Normal Lee]

If you go to your Foundry and click Components in the bottom right corner, there will be a timer on your Argon Crystals (if you have any) that lets you know when your next crystal will decay.

[Carnasid]

Argon has a 24 hour timer starting from the next daily reset.

speciality of argon crystals is that the next day they argone

[Dragonixor]

Here's how it works

-You get the crystal
-they get 24h of non-decay
-once the ''day'' changes (depends on you time zone), the crystals that have finished their 24h lifetime get divided by 2

Here's a pretty good example from the wiki

31 crystals are collected on Day 1. They are all stable.

GMT 00:00 hits, and now all 31 crystals are decaying, but the quantity remains unchanged.

32 crystals are collected on Day 2. The Tenno now has 63 crystals total.

GMT 00:00 hits. The 31 decaying crystals decay to 15, and the 32 additional crystals are now decaying. The Tenno now has 47 crystals.

GMT 00:00 hits again without the attainment of any further crystals. All 47 crystals decay to 24


If only I was able to get so much argon crystals in one day -_-
