Machine tiers¶

Quantimium's machines come in three tiers, and you can tell which by the stone they are built from.

tiers

Tier	Stone	Light	Machines
Low	Light stone, like a furnace	One accent, in a recessed window	Observation Chamber, Flux Detector, Basic Quantum Crafter, Quantum Exciter, Basic Anomaly Siphon
Mid	Deepslate	Thin azure lines inside the face	Quantum Crafter, Simulator, Tesseract Stabiliser, Flux Suppressor, Decoherence Projector, Zeno Field Controller
High	Obsidian	Full circuits, runes, violet beside azure	Quantum Foundry, Containment Hall, Attuned Glass, Rift Anchor, Rift Stabiliser, ME Superposition Crafter (with AE2)

Azure means built: anything Quantimium made on purpose. Violet means grown: anomaly, crystals, rifts. Where you see violet inside a machine, it is the thing the machine is holding.

What each tier costs¶

tested Each tier's recipes need a material from the loop before it, so you climb by doing what the mod is about, not by mining more:

Tier	Needs	From	Machines
Low	Quantimium Trace	Observing Unrealised Matter	Observation Chamber, Basic Quantum Crafter, Flux Meter and Detector, Field Monitor, Quantum Exciter, Basic Anomaly Siphon, Flux Suppressor
Mid	Anomaly Fragments, Anomalite	Siphoning anomaly; crystals that grew on your machines	Rift Seed, Stabilised Portal, Quantum Crafter, Simulator, Tesseract Stabiliser, Flux Maintainer, Anomaly Siphon, Zeno Field Controller, Decoherence Lance and Projector, Rift Lens, Mirror Lens, Tether, the Pod's modules
High	Rift Residue, Tesseracts	Closing flux rifts; the Foundry	Quantum Foundry, Containment Hall, Field Regulator, Rift Anchor and Stabiliser, Superposition Pod and Unfolding Array, Entangled Dock, ME Superposition Crafter

High starts with your first rift, found or planted with a Rift Seed: Residue builds the Foundry, which makes Tesseracts, and the Containment Hall that lets a base run hot. The tier a machine looks (the stone above) and the tier its recipe sits in mostly agree; the Flux Suppressor looks Mid but is made at Low, as an early firebreak. Materials that aren't Quantimium's are asked for by their common tags (#c:ingots/iron and so on), so any mod's iron will do.
