Silica Dust

Only requires Quartz — one of the simpler recipes, ideal for early-game crafting when resources are limited.

Blueprint unlocks automatically when you first pick up one of its components — exploration naturally progresses this recipe.

Craft at the Fabricator when all materials are gathered — no partial crafting is possible, all components are consumed at once.

Single-ingredient recipe using Quartz — keep a supply in a Wall Locker near your crafting station for quick repeated access.

Crafted at the standard Fabricator found in your Lifepod — no additional base construction required, accessible from the very start of the game.

Mark your Fabricator location with a Beacon for easy navigation when returning to craft Silica Dust or other recipes at this station.
