Mud is a resource found in Swampy Biome on the starting asteroid. Similar to Sand, it is affected by Gravity and will fall down if the tile beneath it is mined.

Usage

Sludge Press decomposes Mud into Dirt and Water:

150 kg Mud = 60 kg Dirt + 90 kg Water

Heating up Mud turns it into the same ratio of Dirt and Steam. The Dirt will always be created as debris, regardless of Mud being in debris or tile form. This is heat creating, as Steam and Dirt both have a higher SHC than Mud.

Production

Grubgrub eat Sulfur or Sucrose and produce Mud.

It can be harvested on rocket missions to renewable Space POIs:

• In Swampy Ore Fields at a rate of 108 kg – 324 kg per cycle.
