Stalcraft Wiki: Red Crystal
STALCRAFT Meta note
Red Crystal is a thermal artifact that adds thermal protection, a temperature purge, reaction to burns and a little stamina. Its downside is a Vitality penalty, half that of Kettlebell, which offers stronger thermal protection for a larger penalty.

In-game description (EXBO)
A crystal with a matte surface. Like other similar artifacts, it has a precise number of large and small extensions. Experiments at Research Institute 7 revealed that the Red Crystal has another feature that distinguishes it from other "crystals." Under extreme cold and high atmospheric pressure, small cracks begin to form across parts of the crystal's surface, settling into a regular hexagonal honeycomb pattern. This effect is likely caused by localized silicon inclusions.

How these values are calculated
STALCRAFT Meta recalculates these stats for the level, quality and additional stats you pick, with the artifact model of the Artifact Optimizer and Build Calculator.
Positive stats: top of the stat's range × quality × (1 + 0.3 × level ÷ 15). Hazards grow with quality. One additional stat becomes active every 5 levels.
Container effectiveness is not applied here (100%); the Build Calculator applies the container you choose.
