The Converter is a late-game building which is black and octahedral in appearance. It is used to convert ores into each other at the cost of  Reanimated SAM, as well as produce  Ficsite Ingots,  Excited Photonic Matter and  Dark Matter Residue.

It has a fluctuating power demand, akin to Particle Accelerators.

Power Fluctuation

Like the Particle Accelerator, the Converter has oscillating power usage. The power curve roughly resembles a triangle wave, starting at 62.5% max power and ending back at 62.5% after hitting 100% and 20% during the production cycle. Generally, minimum power usage is 100 MW while the max is 400 MW - on average it is 250 MW.

History

• Patch 1.0: Reintroduced with a new mesh.
• Patch 0.1.5: Removed. Before its removal, its cost was 1 SAM Fluctuator, 30 Concrete, 10 Modular Frames and 50 Cables. It consumed 40 MW to convert any 2 raw ores into 1 different ore. It used a temporary model with 2 Conveyor inputs and 1 output.
• Unknown Closed Alpha patch: Introduced, but unobtainable without save editing.
