* '''Exploit''' your Crystalarium when you wish to change the item it produces. Normally, you need to seed it with one item of the new type. But you can feed it a Quartz instead. When a replicated Quartz appears, do not harvest it. Instead, take an item of the new type and feed it into the Crystalarium while it still displays the new Quartz. That Quartz will magically turn into the item you fed into the Crystalarium. You can now harvest that item, having effectively seeded the machine with a Quartz. If you want to preserve the Quartz as well, simply harvest the first one and re-seed with the second Quartz the Crystalarium produces.
{{beta3|The exploit used to seed a Crystalarium with a quartz was removed in v1.3.24.}}
