Catalyst Weaver

The Catalyst Weaver performs advanced multi-input processing with a base item, up to six catalysts, and optional fluid support.
It is one of the most complex machines in Ascendant Technology, supporting Lava, Liquified Aetherium, and Dark Matter as fluids.

How It Works
- Insert one base item in the primary input.
- Fill catalyst slots with the exact required combination.
- Add required fluid when applicable.
- Start processing and collect main output and optional byproduct.
Recipe reading
- The base item, catalyst set, and optional fluid must all match the recipe.
- Keep the byproduct slot clear during longer sessions.
Supported Fluids
- Cryofluid
- Dark Matter
- Lava
- Liquified Aetherium
- Water
