Active Matter Replicator
The Replicator is the workshop machine that replicates items — including items from other timelines.
Active Matter lets operatives find and replicate items from other timelines — that is the core idea behind the Replicator. It belongs to the workshop side of the game along with the Refiner.
What the official sources confirm
- Active matter is used to replicate items that originate from other timelines.
- Replication runs from a queue — the editions include 'replicator queue expansion' as a stash upgrade.
- Item fusion existed inside the regular replication queue and was moved to a dedicated slot in Update 0.4.0.55.
- Replicator recipes are a known item type — the store editions list recipes such as the 'Harpy' scout drone and the 'Bonecrusher' assault quad bike.
- Update 0.4.0.62 moved the Replicator into the Workshop.
Replicator queue & upgrades
Buyers of the Advanced, Premium and Elite Squad editions receive replicator queue expansions, which suggest the queue is a limited, expandable resource. The exact rules and timers are not published by the developer yet (HOLD).
