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.

|---|---|
| Gold Ingot + catalyst set + Lava | Aetherium Ingot |
| Crying Obsidian Dust + catalyst set + Liquified Aetherium | Refined Obsidian Dust |
| Amethyst Shard + Dark Matter | Refined Aetherium Shard |
Practical notes
- Match the base item, catalyst mix, and fluid requirement exactly.
- Keep the output and byproduct slots clear during repeated runs.
- Group runs by fluid type when possible.
Crafting Recipe
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
- Lava
- Liquified Aetherium
- Dark Matter

Legend: Catalysts use up to 6 slots; byproducts are chance-based; lower speed multipliers mean slower processing.
