When you reach the mid to late game in Abiotic Factor, you will need to start building Projection Matrixes. These are needed to progress through the game. If you can’t find the recipe or components, don’t worry. I’m here to help. Here’s how to build a Projection Matrix in Abiotic Factor.

To learn the Projection Matrix recipe in Abiotic Factor, you’ll need to collect a single Anteverse Gem. You can find them in the Adjustment Wing in the Containment Zone. This is a dangerous area with marines and aliens, so be careful. Take out enemies one by one, carry healing items, and use shortcuts to your advantage. Luckily, you’ll also unlock the Electro-Thrower weapon when you craft your first Projection Matrix, which will make all future enemy encounters much easier.

You can find Anteverse Gems in containers like the one in the image above. Use a blunt weapon to break open these boxes and loot the Gems inside (along with some Circuit Boards). There is a finite number of these boxes, so don't bother checking areas you've already looted.

Luckily, there's a swap machine in the Adjustment Wing that will sometimes give you Anteverse Gems for Anteverse Wheat. You can get a lot of Anteverse Wheat by revisiting the first portal world over and over again, so you can technically get as many as you need.
