We invite you to discover How to use machine optimizers in Planet Crafter with this explanatory guide today.

What to know about using machine optimizers in Planet Crafter?


Planet Crafter requires certain machines for its smooth continuity, these include drills and heaters, these provide air pressure and heat respectively. In addition, other machines such as solar panels and nuclear reactors offer energy supply. But, the role of machine optimizers differs, since it does not directly affect the game, on the contrary, it improves the efficiency of the devices that we have mentioned before.

How to use machine optimizers in Planet Crafter?



First, we must know that a machine optimizer has the ability to:

  •   Amplify the productivity of other devices.
  •   Increase heat production for heaters.
  • Increase air pressure for drilling rigs.
  • Accelerate ore extraction for extractors.
  • Increase energy production for plants.

It should be noted that these optimizers require specialized fuses to work, and these can be found in specific locations within The Planet Crafter. Here the most important task is to acquire the ability to build objects and structures. Likewise, we will have to learn to dismantle these creations, a vital aspect of the game. In particular, it is essential to understand where to locate the fuses needed for machine optimizers in The Planet Crafter.

To know how to use machine optimizers in Planet Crafter, it is good to keep in mind that within The Planet Crafter, there are two machine optimizers available for use. The initial version becomes accessible from the beginning of the terraforming process, specifically at the 70 MTi milestone, while the second version is only unlocked once we reach the staggering figure of 1.85 mK.

Both optimizers produce very similar results, the T2 model proves to be superior in multiple aspects, such as:

  • Resource cost
  • Energy cost
  • Perimeter
  • Machine capacity
  • Fuse capacity

Machine Optimizer version 1 requires:

  • 2 explosive gunpowder, 1 uranium bar, 2 iron, 1 cobalt
  • 50 kilowatts
  • 60 meters
  • 5 machines
  • 1 fuse

T2 Machine Optimizer requires:

  • 2 explosive powder, 1 uranium rod, 3 obsidian
  • 150 kilowatts
  • 75 meters
  • 8 machines
  • 3 fuses

It is important to keep in mind that machine boosters are ineffective without the addition of a fuse inside them. By purchasing a fuse, the booster is capable of amplifying the output of specific types of machinery, depending on the type of fuse added.

By building five T2 heaters and placing a machine booster near them, each individual T2 heater generates 4.5 heat per second independently, so the combined output is 22.5 heat and if we then insert a heat booster fuse In the machine booster, the heat generated by the five surrounding machines will increase by 500 percent. This additional boost usually adds to the pre-existing amount, effectively increasing heat production to 135 per second, an effect can be further intensified by incorporating more machine boosters and extra fuses, incorporating a second heat intensifying fuse to the aforementioned configuration increases the five times more heat production, culminating in a total of 247.5 heat per second.

Power-up machines adhere to a set of guidelines that govern which machines they affect. In situations where a power-up can influence multiple types of machinery, it is vital to prioritize the type that produces the highest performance. So a booster equipped with a power boost fuse will initially target any nuclear fusion generators that may be nearby, followed by nuclear reactors T2 and T1, in that order. Now, when several

Identical machines are within the radius of the optimizer, it will give priority to those closest to it. The T2 Machine Optimizer has the capacity to hold up to three fuses, and each fuse can affect up to eight machines.

To find out which machines are affected by the optimizer, we will have to approach it to see the statistics, while these are displayed on the screen, the affected machines will emit a vibrant green glow, with arrows pointing towards them. It is possible that multiple optimizers affect the same set of machines. In that case, if two T2 machine optimizers are placed near eight nuclear fusion generators and equipped with six power multiplier fuses, they will ultimately generate a whopping 106,920 kW (11,880 kW multiplied by nine) in power.

What is Pulsar quartz and how to use it in The Planet Crafter?


Pulsar Quartz is a highly sought after mineral in the game and is used to create higher level items, there are several methods to obtain and craft this precious material.

How to get fuses in The Planet Crafter?


Getting machine optimizers can be a piece of cake. However, fuses pose a greater challenge, these can appear randomly in boxes, but are mainly found in shipwrecks and hidden bunkers, most commonly in the locked safes behind Fusion Energy Cell doors.

Space Trader offers a variety of types of fuses, only these have high costs:

  • Fuse type: Pressure has a cost of 2,500 and its Multiplier effect of 500% for Pressure
  • Heat fuse type: has a cost of 2,500 and its Multiplier effect of 500% for Heat
  • Type of Plant fuse: it has a cost of 2,500 and its Multiplier effect is 500% for Plant
  • Oxygen fuse type: has a cost of 2,500 and its Multiplier effect of 500% for Oxygen
  • Fuse type Production: has a cost of 5,000 and has an effect Faster generation of articles
  • Type of Fissile Energy: It has a cost of 6,000 and its Power Multiplier effect is 150%
  • Fuse Type Commercial Rocket: Not for sale and its effect Reduces the return time of commercial rockets by approximately 10%

It is good to know that the Production Multiplier Fuse particularly improves machines that generate new resources and store them in an inventory, we can apply a Production Optimizer to beehives, aquatic life collectors and gas extractors, but not to food producers, farms open air or algae generators.

Now that you know how to use machine optimizers in Planet Crafter, you can embark on this interesting task, try it.
