Community recipes with evidence status

AETHUS materials and recipes

Use the layer table to find ores and the recipe table to match an item to its station. The list combines readable community articles with an earlier Steam-guide record; it is a selected reference, not a complete item dump. Quantities and uncertain unlocks are labeled below.

Recipes below distinguish a readable wiki report from the earlier Steam-guide record. Steam guides were readable in the review browser on 2026-10-28 after direct HTTP requests returned 429. Agreement with that earlier record is useful provenance, but is not fresh verification by two independent sources.

Materials by layer

These names come from the earlier Euchale guide record. The guide was read in the review browser on 2026-10-28 after direct requests returned 429; this table is retained as community guidance, not a newly verified database.

Recipes and stations

Power Cell and Empty Injector quantities match the earlier guide record and the readable wiki recipe article. The guide and wiki were both re-read; the wiki’s independence from the guide is unknown. Empty Injector belongs to the Biology Lab section; the earlier generic Crafting label was misleading.

Empty Injectors, prospecting and food

Empty Injectors are a recipe output, not a fixed world pickup. The wiki lists six follow-on uses: Health, Strength, Oxygen, Speed, Mycelial Antigen and Anti-Rad. Ingredient requirements for those final injectors differ.

Prospecting uses samples at the Prospecting Bench. The 30,000-credit lens price appears only in the wiki and is not verified. Food choices include cactus fruit and grown crops; avoid meat or fish if pursuing Vegetarian.

The official 1.021 notes address Quakemaker triggering; Hotfix 9 removes the Dew Catcher Scrap cost. Those patch details are official single-source statements, not separate community confirmations. See /updates/.

Questions

Where do I get an Empty Injector?

Craft it: 1 Tangrite Bar and 1 Hardened Glass makes two. It is the base item for six injector types, not a single world spawn.

What does the Quakemaker do?

It triggers an earthquake so resource nodes reshuffle. Patch 1.021 made that trigger reliable when you had left the surface.
