# The Growth Accelerator

<BlockImage id="growth_accelerator" p:powered="true" scale="8"/>

The Growth Accelerator massively accelerates [the growth of](../ae2-mechanics/certus-growth.md) certus or amethyst when placed adjacent to the budding block.

Curiously, it can *also* accelerate the growth of various plants.

<GameScene zoom="6" interactive={true}>
  <ImportStructure src="../assets/assemblies/growth_accelerator.snbt" />
  <IsometricCamera yaw="195" pitch="30" />
</GameScene>

To power it manually, place a <ItemLink id="crank" /> on the top or bottom and right-click it.

It only connects to cables on its ends where the pink fluix greebles are.
