Obtaining Energized Budding Crystal
The Energized Budding Crystal is a key material for crafting many components in this mod. It functions similarly to AE2's Budding Certus Quartz but grows Energized Crystals instead.
Crystal Tiers
![]()
There are four quality tiers of Energized Budding Crystal:
Безупречный цветущий энергонасыщенный кристалл - Best quality, does not degrade
Надтреснутый цветущий энергонасыщенный кристалл - High quality
Потресканный цветущий энергонасыщенный кристалл - Medium quality
Повреждённый цветущий энергонасыщенный кристалл - Lowest quality
Higher quality crystals grow faster and have better durability.
Method 1: Lightning Strike
Place AE2 Budding Certus Quartz blocks and strike them with lightning. The blocks have a chance to transform into Energized Budding Crystal.
Conversion Table
Conversion Mechanics
- The conversion has a random chance based on distance from the lightning strike point
- Blocks directly hit by lightning have the highest conversion rate
- Blocks within a 3x3x3 area around the strike point may also convert
- Closer blocks have higher conversion rates (base chance: 1/2 at center, decreasing with distance)
Tips
- Use a Lightning Rod or Channeling trident to control where lightning strikes
- Place multiple budding quartz blocks close together for efficient conversion
- Build during thunderstorms for natural lightning, or use a trident with Channeling
Method 2: Crystal Fixer (Requires ExtendedAE)
If you have the ExtendedAE mod installed, you can use the Crystal Fixer to upgrade Energized Crystal blocks progressively.

Upgrade Path
Usage
- Use
Энергонасыщенный кристалл as fuel for the Crystal Fixer - The final upgrade to Flawed has only 5% success rate, so stock up on materials
- This method is more controlled than lightning but requires ExtendedAE
Growing Energized Crystals
Once you have Energized Budding Crystal blocks, they will naturally grow Energized Crystal clusters over time, similar to how Budding Certus Quartz grows Certus Quartz crystals.

The
Энергонасыщенный кристалл harvested from these clusters is used to craft various components for the ECO multiblock systems.
