Condensed Carbon
- Refined Organic Element
- 24 units
- Uncommon
- 8 ways to make it
Condensed Carbon is a refined organic element in No Man's Sky. The best yield: refine Condensed Carbon x1, Oxygen x2 in a Medium Refiner to get 6.
Best yield
Calculate
1 batch: 1 Condensed Carbon + 2 Oxygen in a Medium Refiner makes 6 (5 more than you put in), about 0.36s in one refiner.

About
Advanced material, processed from regular carbon in a Refiner.
The increased molecule density offers a substantially improved energy-per-gram ratio.
Occasionally found in crystalline form. Harvesting large crystals may require a Advanced Mining Laser.
