Because you may have spotted that from the converter, there is a pipe coming out of it,

but there's nothing going into the converter.

So it's just like, what's going on?

And yes, this is like one of the only resources in the game that is produced by a machine that doesn't require any input.

And that is because the excited photonic matter is being produced from the converter by the fact that it is built by...

It is being created by inducing intense photon interactions through exposure to the...

in a high energy environment inside the converter.

So that's the reason why that's happening.

So yeah, in order to get excited photonic matter, you only need to place down converters.

And if you need more excited photonic matter, you just need to build either more converters or you can overclock the converters.
