In the game

How to get it

Silicon: 16 voxels of sand and 8 coal in the Furnace (20 s), or fulgurite broken down in the grid. Lithium: lithium ore (20 to 120 m) and 4 coal in the Furnace (12 s).

What it is for

Silicon makes solar panels, circuit boards and every chip; lithium makes batteries, the gravity generator and the Celerite alloy.

Why it exists

Electronics and stored power start here.

The same text the game shows in its progress tree and on the item's sheet (I).

Two materials open the age of electronics:

  • Silicon: sand reduced with coal in the Furnace, or fulgurite (a sand djinn's drop) broken in the grid. Solar cells, circuit boards, chips.
  • Lithium: smelted from lithium ore. Batteries and the gravity generator.
