AETHUS High Voltage Converter Recipe and Crafting Guide

The high voltage converter in AETHUS crafts from advanced electronics, depthane bars, and camberflex. Players assemble this mid-to-late-game electrical component at crafting stations to repair facility systems like the Omicron climber and manufacture advanced expedition buildkits.

High Voltage Converter Crafting Recipes

Players can manufacture the high voltage converter at either the basic Crafting Bench or the Electronics Workbench. Material requirements differ slightly depending on the station selected and whether the player operates inside an active Manufacturing Habitat.

At the baseline Crafting Bench, the recipe requires:

• 1 Advanced Electronics
• 2 Depthane Bars (reduced to 1 inside a Manufacturing Habitat)
• 5 Camberflex (reduced to 3 inside a Manufacturing Habitat)

At the Electronics Workbench, the component requires:

• 1 Advanced Electronics
• 1 Depthane Bar
• 3 Camberflex

Processing ingots requires taking them out of the smelter inventory first, as crafting benches only detect materials held directly in personal storage or player bags. When expanding electrical wiring across facilities, pairing converter crafting with a nearby power relay maintains network coverage between production rooms.

Required Crafting Materials and Sourcing

Producing the converter involves gathering raw ores and refined parts across both the Lost World and Magma Rift sectors:

1. Advanced electronics: Assembled at the Electronics Workbench using 3 Basic Electronics (2 in a Manufacturing Habitat), 2 Microcircuits (1 in a Manufacturing Habitat), and 1 Jaspite Bar. Microcircuits require 1 Gold Bar and Dust Ruby Powder, while Jaspite ore is mined near Facility Theta in the Lost World.
2. Depthane Bars: Smelted in the Standard Smelter by processing 5 Depthane Ore per bar. Depthane nodes spawn throughout the Magma Rift region, particularly near lower volcanic trenches.
3. Camberflex: Mined directly from specialized resource deposits in the Magma Rift. Notable clusters appear around Facility Tau alongside Quarinium nodes. Camberflex also serves as a crucial ingredient in late-game recipes, so saving raw chunks rather than converting them entirely into basic construction blocks preserves inventory efficiency.

Deep exploration past Facility Tau also yields rare materials like hyperion crystal, which powers subsequent tiers of high-end circuitry once high voltage parts are secured.

Equipment and Structures Requiring the Converter

The high voltage converter serves as an intermediate item for specialized machinery, outpost kits, and story repairs.

Restoring the Facility Omicron Climber

Reactivating the transport climber at Facility Omicron requires repairing the damaged sub-floor thermal pump. Inside the lower maintenance level, players discover that a sabotaged pump prevents the climber station from functioning.

The replacement Thermo-Pump requires:

• 1 High Voltage Converter
• 2 Tangrite Bars
• 1 Kalynite Frame (2 if crafted outside a Manufacturing Habitat)
• 3 Coolant units

Crafting the Thermo-Pump at the base and slotting it into the maintenance bay clears the station safety lock, permitting the climber to travel between Omicron and surface operations.

Outpost Buildkits and Logic Chips

Players working with expedition equipment use converters to fabricate mobile field stations. Understanding how to use build kits allows Maeve to deploy survival structures across extreme environments:

• Buildkit: AtmoDome: Requires 1 Empty Buildkit, 10 Magmasafe Building Material, 2 Tangrite Frames, 1 Advanced Electronics, 1 High-Voltage Converter, and 15 Oxite.
• Buildkit: AtmoDome (RadProtect Edition): Requires 1 Empty Buildkit, 10 Magmasafe Building Material, 2 Tangrite Frames, 1 Advanced Electronics, 1 High-Voltage Converter, and 15 Radiotrophic Mushrooms found in deep cavern pockets.
• Remote Restart Chip: Fabricated at the Electronics Workbench using 1 Programmable Splice, 1 Advanced Electronics, and 1 High Voltage Converter.
