'''Ion Cubes''' are a piece of technology created by the [[Precursor Race|Precursors]]. They can contain massive amounts of energy equivalent to a 'small nuclear detonation' in a stable state. Ion Cubes are used to power certain Precursor devices, such as [[Alien Arches]], which will only function once an Ion Cube has been inserted. They can be used to craft [[Alien Tablets]], as well as powerful [[Ion Battery|Ion Batteries]] and [[Ion Power Cell]]s. |
|||
Ion Cubes can be found in [[Alien Bases]] and some [[Alien Caches]]. [[Large Resource Deposits|Large Ion Cube Deposits]] can be found in the [[Alien Thermal Plant]] and the [[Primary Containment Facility]]. Like all large resource deposits, the [[Prawn Suit Drill Arm]] can break the deposit down into individual materials. |
|||
An unending supply of Ion Cubes can be acquired from the Large Ion Cube Deposit in the antechamber of the Primary Containment Facility; after the deposit has been depleted, the platform raises up and a ceiling-mounted laser begins generating a new deposit. Each of these deposits yield three Ion Cubes. |
|||
=== Important Notes === |
|||
* Until the Primary Containment Facility is unlocked, Ion Cubes are a rare, finite and valuable resource. Players should think carefully before crafting Ion Cubes into other items and exercise caution when carrying Ion Cubes in their inventory. |
|||
* There are only 26 Ion Cubes spread across all Alien Caches and Bases that are collectible without the [[Prawn Suit]]'s Drill Arm. |

This green mineral substance has no entry on the periodic table, and an unprecedented ability to store huge amounts of ionic energy within it. |
|||
- Likely grown artificially<br /> |
|||
- Cubic appearance suggests it has been cut from a larger deposit<br /> |
|||
- Each cube contains the equivalent ionic energy of 5 kilotons of TNT<br /> |
|||
- Under the right conditions the energy could be released in a controlled manner<br /> |
|||
- Likely used as batteries, but would require a substantial power source to be recharged |
|||
Assessment: Valuable energy source |

== Trivia == |
|||
*The former name for the Ion Cube was ''Ion Crystal''. |
|||
*The Ion Cube was originally planned to also have use in the [[Cut Content#Ion Cube Matrix|Ion Cube Matrix]] crafting recipe. |
|||
*It is interesting to note that the laser in the Primary Containment Facility seems to generate Ion Cubes using the same mechanism as a standard [[Fabricator]]. |
|||
*They appear to be crystalized Ion Energy. |
