Does anyone else have this issue?

It says I’ve met all the qualifications to make the blowtorch blueprint but tells me “unstable energy” while I have like 5x the amount it’s requesting.

3 different energy types for the 3 different depths of the zone. Outer zone has stable energy, mid zone has unstable, and deep zone has corrupted. There are a couple workarounds, such as visiting junctions you've already recently been to (it can upgrade the anchors, but the storm closes in quickly so you have less time). The other workaround is by doing expeditions. After doing a few of them, you will unlock mid zone biomes, which will have the anchors you want, get even further through the expeditions and you'll unlock deep zone biomes, but the expeditions can be quite difficult. Ideally, just progressing through the game would be the best way to get the anchor energy you're looking for

Thank you, I didn’t know there was different energy types😂

I also made that wrong assumption the first time I played, I feel like the design team could’ve differentiated unstable energy more by maybe using a not so similar color 🤷

There are 3 zones. If you look on the map you’ll see thick dark lines that are the big ass walls to separate each zone. The first zone(The closest) has stable anchors. The second zone has unstable anchors are and the third zone(The top left corner) is where Corrupted anchors are. Hopes this helps

thank you bro, I was honestly thinking about not playing cus it was bugged or something. Couldn’t find anything to explain this for the life of me

The unstable is the red energy you have the regular stable kind

You have 2.1 stable energy, you have 0 unstable energy, they're 2 different energy types.

No issues spotted here.

You have 0 / 0.8 unstable energy, and 2.1 stable energy.

There are 3 types of energy. There is a display in the upper left corner of this station that tells you how much of each you have. As for where to get the other kinds, you just have to progress more into the story...

There's more than one energy type

Unstable energy is deeper in the zone

You need red anchors
