Ion Cubes can be found in a number of locations: Loose Ion Cubes glow green and produce a continuous creaking noise, making them easily noticeable. Ion Cubes are the only power source of the Tether Tool.
They can also be used to craft powerful Ion Batteries and Ion Power Cells. Ion Cubes are used to power certain Architect devices. They can contain massive amounts of energy equivalent to a small nuclear detonation' in a stable state. Ion Cubes are a type of synthetic crystal created by The Architects.
