This page lists old unreleased content which was datamined from old builds of the game and will not be implemented into the game, according to an official video by Coffee Stain.
This page is being preserved for archival purposes. As a matter of policy no new unreleased content should be added here, but additional information regarding the existing content is still considered relevant.
Dark Matter
Dark Matter was a crafting component created in the Hadron Collider. Guessing from the power requirement of the Hadron Collider, it might've been created only using power.
It probably was an early version of the 
Nuclear Pasta introduced in Patch 0.4.0.0.
| Recipe | Ingredients | Time (s) | Product |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 ×  Dark Matter (60 / min) |
Quantum Crystal
The Quantum Crystal was a crafting component used to create 
Superposition Oscillators.
| Recipe | Ingredients | Time (s) | Product |
|---|---|---|---|
10 ×  Quartz Crystal
|
24 | 1 ×  Quantum Crystal (2.5 / min) |
|
| 12 × Dark Matter |
SAM Ingot
SAM Ingot was a crafting component smelted from SAM Ore that was solely used to craft SAM Fluctuators.
| Recipe | Ingredients | Time (s) | Product |
|---|---|---|---|
6 ×  SAM Ore
|
2 | 1 ×  SAM Ingot (30 / min) |
SAM Fluctuator
The SAM Fluctuator was a crafting component used to build the Remote Storage and the Converter.
| Recipe | Ingredients | Time (s) | Product |
|---|---|---|---|
15 ×  Cable
|
12 | 1 ×  SAM Fluctuator (5 / min) |
|
| 5 × SAM Ingot |
Heat Resistant Suit
The Heat Resistant Suit would have been used to prevent the engineer from taking any heat damage. It is unknown where it would get used, as currently there is no heat damage (unlike Radiation and its suit for example). It didn't change the engineer's appearance.
Rebar Scatter Gun
The Rebar Scatter Gun was a ranged weapon that could be unlocked in Patch 0.1.5 and was removed in Patch 0.1.6. It couldn't be reloaded with 
Spiked Rebar, rendering it unusable.
Its functionality has been reintroduced in Patch 0.6.0.0 with the 
Shatter Rebar alternative ammo for the 
Rebar Gun.
| Recipe | Ingredients | Time (s) | Product |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 × Rebar Gun
|
1 × Rebar Scatter Gun |
||
15 ×  Encased Industrial Beam |
|||
200 ×  Screw |
|||
20 ×  Steel Pipe |
Rifle Mk.2
The Rifle Mk.2 was an upgraded version of the 
Rifle. It could only hold six rounds (instead of 10) and dealt 12 damage per hit (instead of six). Just like the Rebar Scatter Gun, it could be unlocked in Patch 0.1.5 and was removed in Patch 0.1.6.
| Recipe | Ingredients | Time (s) | Product |
|---|---|---|---|
10 ×  Heavy Modular Frame
|
1 × Rifle Mk.2 |

Mk.2 variants of buildings
The 
Assembler, 
Constructor, 
Foundry, 
Manufacturer and 
Smelter had a Mk.2 variant that would operate either 25% or 50% faster (listed in the infoboxes below).
These buildings weren't introduced because Coffee Stain felt they would need unique designs, which takes a lot of work just for them to be the same but faster, especially with overclocking available.
Converter
The Converter was a building that could convert any two raw resources into any one raw resource of the player's choice. It used a temporary model.
Hadron Collider
The Hadron Collider was a building used to produce Dark Matter. Due to not being implemented correctly, the recipe could not be selected and the building was never operational.
The Hadron Collider was eventually implemented in Patch 0.4.0.0, renamed as the 
Particle Accelerator, with different functionality.
It had unusually high power usage, which didn't fluctuate. Additionally, it reportedly wasn't animated, simply lighting up while producing.
Industrial Lighting
Industrial Lighting was a Power Pole-like with two power connections. Despite its name and appearance, it did not emit any light, even while powered, rendering it useless. It consumed 1 MW to "operate".
It was eventually implemented in Patch 0.4.0.0 as the 
Street Light.
Powered Wall
The Powered Wall was a building that allowed power to propagate through foundations underneath it, removing the need for Power Lines.
It was not implemented due to being unintuitive. The intended experience was introduced using Wall Outlets.
Quantum Encoder
The Quantum Encoder was a building used for crafting the Quantum Crystal and Superposition Oscillator.
The E3 trailer shows it in action, as well as its blueprint.
Remote Storage
The Remote Storage was a building that could be used to access items stored within the storage unit from anywhere, accessible from the inventory. It only had one input and no outputs.
It can be briefly seen in the E3 trailer.
Conveyor Belt and Lift Mk.6
The Mk.6 Conveyor Belt and Mk.6 Conveyor Lift would have been the highest conveyor mark.
The belt could be accessed and datamined, with its description stating a capacity of 900 parts/min. After its removal from public builds, the capacity was increased to 1200 parts/min, as confirmed by translation strings.[1] They also confirm the existence of a matching Mk.6 lift,[2] which never appeared in a public build.
It can be assumed the increase happened at the same time the capacity of Mk.4 and Mk.5 conveyors was increased in Patch 0.1.15.
The Mk.6 belt is showcased in the Conveyor Belt Speeds teaser alongside all other Conveyor Belt marks and has been subsequently mentioned in several dev streams.
