Active Matter Fusing & Replicator Unlock Guide

Find fusion in the Replicator, unlock recipes through extraction, and check chronotraces and remaining replications in Active Matter.

Quick answer

Fusing & Replicator

Fusion is now in the Replicator. The “250 Shades of Liberty” update moved it out of the Refiner and made extracting an item unlock its fusion and replication recipes. Replication still needs chronotrace resources.

Checklist

Check the recipe in this order

  • Extract with the item whose recipe you want to unlock.
  • Open the Replicator and locate the item blueprint.
  • Use the fusion-recipe filter to inspect available fusion options.
  • Compare the required resources with the amounts in storage before confirming.

At a glance

Recipe visible, but production blocked?

The September 14 interface update shows remaining replications and how many fusions your stored resources can support. Use those live values; a recipe being unlocked is not proof that you can afford to run it.

CheckMeaning
Fusion materialsComponents and the requested resource types must be available.
Replication chargeAn unlocked blueprint still requires chronotraces for replication.
Remaining replicationsReplenish the replication limit with the required chronotraces.

Guide

Why an older guide may send you to the wrong station

The rework preserved existing synthesis recipes but changed the station and resource system. It removed the old blueprint-completion requirement and replaced universal chronotraces with resource-specific types. Instructions that demand the old completion process should be checked against the new Replicator screen.

Does unlocking a recipe unlock another queue slot?

These are separate systems. This guide covers recipes and resources, not the full queue-slot expansion path.
