The Unstable Element Shard is a resource in Extinction

Crafting[]

Unstable Element Shards are crafted in the Inventory using 10 ×  Element Dust. They have a "spoil" timer of 30 seconds and then converts into standard  Element Shard.

Notes[]

  • Due to the utilization of the the Spoilage timer,  Unstable Element and its corresponding Shards are negatively affected by increasing the spoilage multiplier.
