Element Shards are a resource used to power the Tek Cloning Chamber and the Tek Light. Also used as fuel for the Tek Turret, Tek Generator and the Tek Bow
Obtaining
Element Shards can be crafted in the Tek Replicator. 1 Element yields 100 Element Shards.
Extinction
Unstable Element Shard can be unlocked at Level 55, and can be crafted using Element Dust. Once crafted, there will be a 2 minute spoil timer before Unstable Element Shard turns into regular Element Shard.
Genesis
Element Shards can be found on Genesis: Part 1 by climbing the slopes of the volcano in the Volcano biome. They are mined from the red crystals which can be found along the trails leading to the top of the volcano. Finding them can be extremely high risk, especially if the volcano erupts while you are up there.
Element shards can also be found throughout any rock node in the lunar biome depending on what type of rocks are mined. Element shards in the lunar biome can only be mined on foot with either a metal pick or mining drill. A Tek Stryder can help out with lunar biome mining if the gathering needs to be done quickly.
Crystal Isles
The small blue crystals found at Northland (Crystal Isles) rarely contains Element Shard; the small blue crystals on Eldritch Isle nearly always contain them.
Genesis: Part 2
The dormant Carniflora in the corrupted ring, as well as the fleshy flora in Rockwell's Proliferation (Genesis: Part 2), yield a small amount of Element Shards, as well as Black Pearls and meat. The Tek Stryder drops them as feces.
The best way to obtain Fragment shards is to harvest the Ice planets asteroids (purple beacons) in the -Space- region.
Fjordur
Element Shard rocks can be found in The Throat of Flames, Beiygjaheimr, and the Abyssal Depths. The best place to harvest them is in the Beiygjaheimr cave, as it is far less dangerous and easier to access compared to the other 2 caves.
Crafting
Fragment Shard is used to craft the following items:
- Element
- Sloped Tek Roof
- Sloped Tek Wall Left
- Sloped Tek Wall Right
- Tek Fence Foundation
- Tek Fence Support
- Tek Staircase
- Tek Triangle Ceiling

Notes
- Element Shards can not be used as fuel for any of the Tek armor or weapons, except for use in Tek Turrets and Tek Bow.
- An Element Shard appears to be a small chunk of Element, but it weighs five times more.
- The Element Shards cannot be transferred between official servers or clusters.
