Phosphorite is an Agriculture resource naturally found in Jungle Biomes.

Production

• Dreckos excrete 10kg of Phosphorite per cycle and Glossy Dreckos excrete 9kg of Phosphorite per cycle.
• Rock Crusher breaks Bammoth Patty into Clay & Phosphorite.

Usage

• Fertilizer Synthesizer can produce Fertilizer from Phosphorite:

  39 g/s Polluted Water + 65 g/s Dirt + 26 g/s Phosphorite = 120 g/s Fertilizer + 10 g/s Natural Gas .

• 1 kg/cycle of Phosphorite is consumed by domestically grown Pincha Peppers.

• Wheezewort domestic growth requires 4 kg/cycle Phosphorite.

• Pikeapple Bush domestic growth requires 5 kg/cycle Phosphorite.

• Shine Bugs, Sun Bugs, Royal Bugs, Coral Bugs and Azure Bugs can eat Phosphorite. The resource can be used as bait in Airborne Critter Traps to attract these critters.

• Duplicants with Medicine Compounding Skill can produce Medical Pack from Balm Lily Flower and Phosphorite at Apothecary. Medical Pack can cure Slimelung:

  1 kg Balm Lily Flower + 1 kg Phosphorite = 1 unit Medical Pack.

Tips

• Due to Liquid Phosphorus having a high freezing point (44.15 °C), you can easily create "natural" tiles by melting Phosphorite into liquid, and then dripping them wherever you want. Very useful for making Parks and Nature Reserves, or when using Pips in your base.
