Satisfactory's top quantum tech lets you transmute metals as an alchemist

Coffee Stain Studios released a quiet, nice video a few days ago that showed the "Quantum", machines that will make up the final level of technology in Satisfactory, a first-person survival crafting game. A second video of 20 minutes has revealed almost everything about the tech in-game.

Quantum-tier technology has a unique feature: you can use the Quantum Convertor to transform one resource into another. Copper into sulfur, Iron into limestone, Coal into iron, Quartz into bauxite, and perhaps most excitingly, for those who want to build giant power plants, Bauxite into Uranium. You will be able, using some unannounced special resource, to transmute the basic elements of Satisfactory, like some medieval alchemist.

Snut, the community manager, has confirmed that Satisfactory will also include a faster conveyor belt when it is released. This will allow it to keep up with the raw material output of the fastest mining rigs.

Snut, the community manager, said, "That's the mark 6 belt. There's another version." This contradicted literally years of studio announcements. He then added, "We were always going to do this." We've been lying, basically.

Quantum Encoder is another big building that can be used to create superposition oscillator parts for your factory. This is in addition to many other top-tier recipes for various structures, including magical "Ficsite", diamonds, dark matters crystals, and new artificial power shards that will overclock everything forever in your factory.

One of the best news for those who love efficiency is that Ficsite, when combined with waste byproducts from nuclear energy, can be used to make a less-powerful nuclear fuel that produces no waste. This is a fantastically efficient way to produce nuclear fuel! You don't have to store that deadly, pesky radioactive byproduct, which is good in my opinion.

This year has been a great one for factory games. And with Satisfactory 1.0 due out this month, and Factorio: Space Age coming later this year, we're only going to get even better.
