'''Time | '''Time crystals''' are a special feature of [[The Blockheads]] that affect a [[blockhead]] without it having to act on them. While they can be acquired during play, they can also be obtained through an [[In-App Purchase|in-app purchase]] by the player. | ||

It reports how many time crystals are currently available, and will widen as needed to contain the digits of the count. Time crystals are saved on the device, and are shared between [[world]]s. Time crystals cannot be transferred between devices unless the device is restored from an encrypted backup. Tapping the counter will open the primary [[portal]]'s menu. | ||
Time | Time crystal blocks spawn as part of a new world unless modified by [[custom rules]]. The only situation where a time crystal may appear as a loose object is when deposited as part of a [[Meditate|meditation]] bonus. They cannot be carried in a blockhead's [[inventory]] slots. | ||

As an unharvested [[ | As an unharvested [[block]] in a game world, time crystals are a slightly glowing cube of blue and white that looks generally crystalline. It's found underground and usually within a [[cave]]. They're best harvested with a [[pickaxe]] (producing three crystals instead of one, all of which are affected if a gemstone pickaxe is used). | ||

When used to speed up crafting (a "rush cost"), each crystal saves about 20 seconds. At an electric bench, it will instead save about 10 seconds. When speeding up regeneration from [[death]], each saves only 6 seconds. When rushing sleeping, the time saved will depend on the bed and on whether or not time is being sped up or not. [[Game updates/20141119|Version 1.6]] halved the time to craft items; time crystals therefore save half of the previous amount of time when crafting. | |||
