Notes

• Only one Capacitive Bottle is needed for the eighteen bottle-related collection items, but a fresh Charged Quartz Crystal is needed for each Overcharged Quartz collection item (for a total of 9).
• If you don't receive the collected item, you can manually add the Capacitive Bottle to the collection by right clicking on it and selecting "Add to Collection".

Bug:

The bottle may disappear from your inventory during the second step of the collection (capturing energy from the cooling chamber in the Thaumanova Reactor Fractal), forcing you to buy a second bottle from Grandmaster Craftsman Hobbs or the TP.
