=== Power ===
The crystal's power determines how much energy is produced each tick, and also the range and amount of radiation and hallucinations generated. (a 'tick' usually takes around 1-5 seconds depending on lag)

* Power decays over time.
* Hitting the crystal with a non-physical bullet (usually emitters) will increase its power.
* Power is increased every tick depending on the gas mix. This scales with the gas' temperature.
* Consuming an object or mob will increase the power by a significant amount, independently from the object's size.
* Power decay can be lowered or even completely prevented with CO2.
* Too much power will result in dangerous side effects, like arcs of lightning or anomalies.
