It serves as a local source of radioactive Strontium.+**Celestine** is a Raw Material used in crafting.   ## Obtaining  -Celestine can be obtained from Resource Deposits found in the following locations:-*   Sparse Plains-*   Needler Nest-*   Root Canyon-*   Karakorum Metal Farms-*   Below the Karakorum Power Plant+Celestine can appear as Resource Deposits that are broken with the Sonic Resonator.  -As Celestine only appears as a Resource Deposit, the **Sonic Resonator** is required to break the deposits and collect the resource.+Celestine can be found inside of the Sparse Plains, Needler Nest, Root Canyon and Karakorum Metal Farms, as well as below the Karakorum Power Plant.  +As Celestine is only found as a Resource Deposit, the Sonic Resonator is required to obtain it.+  ## Recipe  -Celestine can also be produced artificially in a **Metal Farm**.+Celestine can be produced in a Metal Farm.  -| Machine | Input | Output | Crafting Time |-| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |+| Machine | Input | Output | Time |+|---|---|---|---| | Metal Farm | - | 3x Celestine | 10:00 |   ## Uses in Crafting  -Celestine is used as an ingredient in various crafting recipes. (Specific recipes depend on available blueprints).+*Used in various advanced crafting recipes (specific recipes depend on game progression).*  +## On Collecting+ +The PDA will tell the player the following:+ +> "These celestine deposits form when sulfur-shelled protozoans die faster than their remains can dissolve into the seawater."+  ## Databank Entry  -> **Celestine**->-> Celestine (strontium sulfate, SrSO4).->-> A crystalline mineral and useful source of strontium. Celestine dissolves quickly in seawater, but certain microorganism synthesize it as a shell or ballast.->-> Local deposits must be the skeletons left by dead colonies of these organisms. The colonies may have overgrown on an artificial strontium source, then died off when the source was removed.->-> Strontium (Sr), element 38, is a soft and highly reactive metal with applications in radiothermal power generation. Strontium on this planet contains elevated levels of Strontium-90, a highly radioactive, bone-seeking isotope which poses a long-term health risk to human colonists.
