Crafting the Atom Smasher
So I saw theres this weapon called the Atom Smasher, and I have been working to craft it legitimetly, but there is one huge roadblock which I beleive seems a bit rediculous.

Neutronium (Nu), or more specificly, one of its ingredients, Exotic Matter, is not as common as its rarity would imply, as it is only droped from precursor enemies, and very underwelming ammounts; Its other rarer ingredient, Ultronium, is easier to find.

You need 240 Exotic Matter to craft tall the neutronium you need for the atomsmasher, and doing the whole precursor mission so far had only yeilded me 2 on one run.

I dont think you wish for players to have to repeat that kind of mission over 100 times, and exploring in my experience seems to yeild nowhere nearly as much.

Is there a better way to find this exotic matter? Otherwise it'll probably take forever to make this weapon.

*Edit* : I figure there should be a good way to make the substance because all of the other ingredients seem to have this kind of solution, like the Erchius Converter with the Quantum and State Fluids, and Ultronium's many sources.

It is intentionally retarded-hard to make. So yes, this is intentional. And there is a good reason for it :)

There *is* a way to produce exotic matter. you simply need to find it.

Hmm, so if there is, it isnt through the arc smelter, centifuge, quantum extractor, or xeno-lab, since it doesnt appear on any of those from the lab directory. I'd have to guess its the Erchius Converter, and at the moment of typing this, Ill be experimenting with it. Just typing this out incase you meant for it to appear on the lab directory.

You have to learn it yourself because for some odd reason the wiki says practacly nothing about strange mater other than you need it for a few crafting recipies

because the wiki is player maintained, and nobody is currently maintaining it. feel free to add in missing information.
