How to Get Energy Capsules in Cubic Odyssey

Energy Capsules are crafted passively by tossing stuff into a recycler. That’s it.
Just dump your junk and walk away with free power.
But if you're low on capsules and trying to make things like warp cells, here's the best way to stockpile them without grinding your sanity into the dirt.
Use the Recycler, Not the Furnace
To get Energy Capsules, you’ll need a Recycler. Just throw in materials like:
Dirt
Stone
Copper ore
Tin ore
Old gear you’ll never use
Pirate loot
Furniture you stole and feel guilty about
Once it’s in, the recycler breaks it down and gives you Energy Capsules automatically. There’s no need to press any button or select a recipe.
You don’t need a recipe to unlock this, it just works.
Best Items to Recycle for Energy Capsules
Not all trash is created equal
Here’s what gives you the best return:
Basic Recycler: 20 dirt or stone = 1 capsule
Tier 2 Recycler: 10 dirt or stone = 1 capsule
Tier 3 Recycler (found at space stations): Only 5 or 6 stone/dirt = 1 capsule
Or, skip the pebbles and go big:
Copper or Tin Ore gives nearly a 1-to-1 ratio
Broken or unwanted weapons give a great return
Meteor materials are also solid fuel, and you’ll find plenty of them
Bottom line, the better the recycler, the less junk you’ll need to burn.
Other Ways to Get Energy Capsules
Fighting pirates, whether on foot or in space, often drops Energy Capsules. Even better, the capsules match the tier of the planet or system you’re in.
The more danger, the better the loot.
If you’re engaging with pirates regularly, you’ll start swimming in capsules before long.
This is one of the fastest passive ways to keep your power topped off while still playing normally.
Where to Craft Energy Fuel Cells (Not Capsules)
If you're looking for Energy Fuel Cells instead of Energy Capsules, those are made at crafting stations using coal and clay.
Energy Capsules = recycler
Energy Fuel Cells = actual crafting, usually at a furnace or crafting bench
They’re used for different systems, so don’t mix them up.
Final Blurb
If your recycler isn’t running full-time, you’re probably doing it wrong. Toss in your garbage, get free power, and repeat until you’re rich in capsules and poor in dirt. Or just rob some pirates; either works.
