Tempus (Time)
Tempus, the aspect of time, is a GTNH extension compound made from Vacuos and Ordo. One point costs 3 primal points to synthesize from scratch.
Recipe
Combine one point of each component at the research table to get one point of Tempus. Counting all the way down to primals, a single point takes 3 primal points:
That total is the number the solver shows as craft cost when it places Tempus in an empty cell. It is cheap enough that Cheapest routes use it freely.
What Tempus connects to
Tempus links to 2 aspects in this library (see the connection rule): its two components.
| Neighbor | Why it connects | Craft cost |
|---|---|---|
| Ordo | Component of Tempus | 1 |
| Vacuos | Component of Tempus | 2 |
No compound in this library is built from Tempus, so its only neighbors are its own components. A fixed Tempus on a note has to be approached through Vacuos or Ordo.
When Tempus is printed on your note and you only need to leave it, Ordo is the cheapest first step at cost 1.
Reaching Tempus from each primal
These are the shortest valid chains in this dataset, using base and GTNH extension aspects. Where several chains tie on length, the one with the cheapest in-between aspects is listed. Cost counts only the aspects between the two ends, the cells you would have to fill.
| From | Chain | Cells to fill | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aer | Aer → Vacuos → Tempus | 1 | 2 |
| Terra | Terra → Vitreus → Ordo → Tempus | 2 | 3 |
| Ignis | Ignis → Potentia → Ordo → Tempus | 2 | 3 |
| Aqua | Aqua → Tempestas → Aer → Vacuos → Tempus | 3 | 5 |
| Ordo | Ordo → Tempus | 0 | 0 |
| Perditio | Perditio → Vacuos → Tempus | 1 | 2 |
A real note also has geometry: the chain has to fit the free hexes between your endpoints. If the gap is longer than the chain, pad it by stepping back and forth between two aspects that connect, or let the solver find a layout that fits.
Data source
Tempus is in the GTNH extension group. Its default commonness is 34 out of 100, an editable estimate used by the Common ranking.
