Chromatic Metal is a resource.
Summary[ | ]
Chromatic Metal (Ch) is a resource and one of the special elements. It is used for construction of advanced technologies.
Game description[ | ]
A processed metal alloy, created in a Refiner from the stellar metals: Copper, Cadmium, Emeril and Indium.
The rarer the stellar metal, the more Chromatic Metal it will produce.
This valuable metal is used in the creation of many advanced technologies.

Infinite Chromatic Metal - Beyond[ | ]
NOTE: this exploit is only possible with Indium as of the Synthesis release.
It is possible to get an infinite amount of Chromatic Metal using 1-2 Medium Refiners/Large Refiners, Indium, and Chromatic Metal.
- Start with 4x Indium and 4x Chromatic Metal.
- In the first Refiner put 4x Indium as the first resource and 4x Chromatic Metal as the second resource. This will generate 8x Indium.
- In the second Refiner put 4x Indium into the first slot. This will give you a 8x Chromatic Metal, with 4x Indium leftover from step 1.
- Repeat.
Important notes:
- Technically only one refiner is needed, but having two makes it quicker to be doing both conversions at the same time.
- Make sure not to use up all of your starting Indium while converting into Chromatic Metal.
- This is also a way to get infinite Copper, Cadmium, Emeril, or Indium.
- This does not work with Activated Indium.
- You can add Pure Ferrite to the second refiner to jumpstart the process.
