Sixty Four Guides

Catalytic Preheater is one of the Machines in Sixty Four.

Catalytic Preheater is the production Machine that Supports other Converters by increasing their conversion speed.

Each converter machine placed next to Catalytic Preheater increases the boost, starting at +50% with no adjacent converters and increasing linearly up to +300% if 8 converter machines are affected.

Catalytic Preheater is unlocked when you acquire your first Celestial Foam.

Catalytic Preheater Function

Catalytic Preheater's main function is to boost Converters conversion speed.

Catalytic Preheater do not need Converters to be active in order to get the boost, so its possible to surround it with any cheap converters in order to boost something specific. Charonite Sumps are nice because they are short.

It is also worth noting that multiple Catalytic Preheaters can boost a single converter, although this runs into diminishing returns since they then run out of room to be boosted by converters, in turn.
