11 The Energy Converter is an advanced crafting station in Starsand Island that produces the three types of power components needed for endgame progression: Solid-State Batteries, Mini Reactors, and Perpetual Reactors. These components are required to upgrade your Furnace, Cutter, and Worktable to Tier III, craft Teleporters for fast travel, build the Robot Terminal for automated resource gathering, and create Sprinklers for farm automation. The Energy Converter is the gateway between mid-game crafting and endgame technology.

Both require the Impact Hammer to mine, which is purchasable from Zerine's General Store after reaching Junior Crafter rank. You will need to have progressed through the Bronze Gate in the Moonlit Forest to reach these mining locations.
