Old Post Industrial Revolution Tech Tree Discovery *SPOILERS*

Soo... I haven't seen this anywhere as of yet, but does anyone know what the Glowing Crystal from the Iron Mines is used for (besides scraping for Crystal)? I got a pop up saying witht eh right tools, I could make a mine more of it... o.o

Edit: Added some pictures.

It unlocks another plot. Check out the Excavation Pit.
 
Thank you both for the fast replies. XD
And neato~ I was kinda using he old spreadsheet from the OP and it didn't list the excavation pit at all on there. XD
 
I can't seem to get the Advanced Weapons plot to move forward. So far I have the Solar (not needed?), Alien, Quantum, and the Mystical. When I returned and put in Mystical tape the terminal it took it, but the quest still says to "Deliver the Energy Signature tape". I've refreshed the plot several times. The newspapers for the alien and mystical tapes keep popping back in. Cue keeps yammering about the glowing Sea, but I tried going there on several occasions and dropping the scanner with no luck. The quest isn't giving a location for it on the map either.
 
Go further into the Glowing Sea. There are certain areas of it that Bethesda did not flag correctly that won't trigger the event.
 
OK, thanks! I didn't have to go much further than I had gone before. Now it's saying to do the Institute part again but I already did it. It's also saying to check back later so I'll give it some time. Hopefully I won't have to them all again and it will catch itself up.
 
It did catch itself up and tell me to power it up. I did have to refresh the plot again to be able to do the test step. Quest Complete. Whew!
 
For the solar tower I couldn't get the Helios synchronized until...
I put the solar cells in the line of sight to the tower and I think that's what matters. I heard the alignment sound effect before I even hooked them up to the grid. Originally I had them all sitting on a floating dock in the water and that didn't work so I went a little overboard.

For extra credit:


The heat waves were a neat touch!
 
This is really cool. Any chance of getting @mytigio 's Robot advanced plots, and @ruinedworld 's Watershed advanced plots included?
It has been a while since I actually used the robot branch of Industrial City, but there are not any requirement for them other than direct upgrade paths? So it is just the upgrade tree you like to have added? Like this: https://simsettlements.com/site/index.php?attachments/robot-recyclers-v2018-7-21-jpg.2365/

Same for Ruined Homes and Gardens, they don't have any indirect requirements do they? They just follow: https://simsettlements.com/web/wiki/images/9/99/Farmingtechtree.png
 
In the spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HAwaYDPQpS8cxhVSG-oJyiMpTqxaRjUkYoeF2grKXgo/edit#gid=0

It says that the Community well has a "Tame mirelurk hatchling" secret. However, I don't see the mirelurk anywhere?
It is supposed to be swimming in one of the tubs. But recently I have noticed it wandering off to areas around the plot. Could probably be hiding somewhere out of sight.
But don't worry. It doesn't do anything, nor is it part of or required for anything that I know off.
 
Isn’t there only one tub, on the inside of the building?

I think you are mistaking the tier 3 plot: Distillery with the tier 1 plot: Community Well. The Community Well is just a big round well, with two bathtubs and a pump next to it. The hatchling is supposed to swim in one of those two tubs.
 
can someone help me i got al the industrial plots but i can not upgrade any of them while each of them have stockpiled over 500 resourches on them and in the tech tree everything is on undiscovered how do i make it so that the plots can upgrade ?
 
So the lvl 3 ceramics plot gives a recipe for combat armor gloss that includes “powdered mirelurk shell”. Tried taking mirelurk meat to medical grade plastics to powder it and was not able to even load it into any of the apparatuses. Currently on vacation so I don’t have access to my Xbox, but has anyone figured this out? I plan on killing the mirelurk hatchling for the community well when I get home, just to see if that gives me anything

Stockpile is only one of the requirements to fulfill, the other one is time. A plot needs to be built for, I think, 7 in-game days before it can upgrade. It'll also take a while for the game to realize that both requirements are met, shouldn't take more than 5minutes tho.
