These yield 1 Quartz. *   Resource Nodes that are broken by hand or using any Tool. These yield 3 Quartz. *   Resource Deposits that are broken with the Sonic Resonator. These yield 5 Quartz.   Quartz can be found in every biome except for the Karakorum Metal Farms.  -## Recipe+## Uses in Crafting  -Quartz can be produced in a Metal Farm.+*(List of recipes using Quartz would appear here)*  -| Machine | Crafting Time | Input | Output |-| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |-| Metal Farm | 2:00 | - | 3 Quartz |- -## Uses in crafting- -Quartz is used in various crafting recipes.-  ## Databank Entry   **Quartz (SiO2)**   A silicate crystal named by the Polish. Quartz and feldspar make up most of Earth's continental crust.   Used in the creation of fabricator-aligned glass and ultra-long-term computer memory storage lasting billions of years.   Typically found as phenocrysts formed from cooling lava — but some local deposits have a telltale bioplastic matrix.   Hypothesis: a local coral gathers dissolved silica to grow quartz deposits.   *Source: Scan Quartz*   ## Gallery  -![A Quartz deposit](Large_Quartz_Node.png)-![A Quartz node](Medium_Quartz_Node.png)-![Individual Quartz inside a Coral Dome](Small_Quartz_Node.png)+![A Quartz deposit.](Large_Quartz_Node.png)+![A Quartz node.](Medium_Quartz_Node.png)+![Individual Quartz piece inside a Coral Dome.](Small_Quartz_Node.png)
