How to Make Lapotron Crystal in Minecraft
Lapotron Crystal
Lapotron Crystal stores 10,000,000 EU in Industrial Craft 2 — ten times an Energy Crystal — and serves as the battery inside every QuantumSuit crafting recipe.
Description
Charged Lapotron Crystals anchor the late game of Industrial Craft 2. Every QuantumSuit armor piece is crafted with a Lapotron Crystal. The MFSU storage unit is built around six Lapotron Crystals. At 2048 EU per tick (a tick is 1/20 of a second), Lapotron Crystal moves energy faster than most machines can accept, which is exactly why lower-tier devices need Transformer Upgrades before handling a Lapotron Crystal.
Guide
How to craft and use Lapotron Crystal in Industrial Craft 2
-
1
Craft the crystal
Place one Energy Crystal in the center of a crafting table, one Advanced Circuit directly above and one directly below, and lapis lazuli dust in the six remaining slots; one Lapotron Crystal comes out.
-
2
Charge the crystal in an MFSU
Put the Lapotron Crystal into the charger slot of an MFSU and wait until the meter reaches 10,000,000 EU; most other machines cannot handle the tier 4 battery.
-
3
Equip late-game gear
Craft QuantumSuit armor with charged Lapotron Crystals. A single charged Lapotron Crystal also works as a portable power reserve for high-tier machinery.
-
4
Build an MFSU
Combine six Lapotron Crystals with the remaining MFSU ingredients on a crafting table to assemble the storage unit.
Plan ahead: one MFSU consumes six Lapotron Crystals. Every QuantumSuit piece takes one more, so craft spare Lapotron Crystals before starting the endgame set.
