How do Zonaite and Zonai-based materials work together?
Posted On: June 15, 2023

I am very confused about Zonai-based materials and how they work together to produce bigger/larger things. Specifically:.


Zonaite.


Zonai Charges.


Energy Cells.


Zonai Devices.


Autobuild & Zonai-tech based vehicles.


Zonai Forges.


Anything else that I may be missing (???).


I believe at the root of everything is Zonaite which needs to be mined from Zonaite Deposits. Somehow I believe these are used to make Zonai Charges and Energy Cells, but I'm honestly not sure about that.


Can someone please give me a rundown of what each of the things in my list above are, how they are built what they are used for, etc.? And if I missed anything, please consider including a description of it as well.

Answer:

You're correct in thinking the root is zonaite ore. Collecting Zonaite should always be a priority because of how useful it is.


Number one being it's the "currency" used in Zonai Forges which, other than fixed events, is the only way to get Crystallized Charges. Crystalized Charges are then used to upgrade your personal Energy Cells. A forge restocks after every blood moon so its a good idea to 'refine' your zonaite regularly. You will need several hundred Zonaite to fully upgrade.


Number two importance of Zonaite is it is used as "replacement" currency when performing auto-build and the required item is missing. The cost is relatively low per item. but it really adds up if you are making a larger build and have none of the requirements.


Lower importance is back at the Zonaite Forge, you can also exchange zonaite for Zonai charges. While helpful to have since they are used at Zonai Dispensers and can help supplement your own battery, these charges can be pricy. and it's just easier to 'farm' zonai constructs instead.


And the least important use for Zonaite is fusing. While you can fuse the ore directly to zonaite gear and devices for larger boost than other items, there's still better choices out there. For example, instead of fusing a zonaite to a zonaite sword, you can fuse a construct horn instead for an even larger boost.
