Refined Phosphorus is a Consumable Ore. It does not spawn as tiles in the world, but rather must be processed from Phosphorite.

Usage

Azure Bugs and Abyss Bugs can eat Refined Phosphorus. They are also attracted to Airborne Critter Traps using Refined Phosphorus as bait.

The Geotuner uses Refined Phosphorus to boost both the output and temperature of metal volcanoes.

Production

Melting Phosphorite produces Phosphorus (Liquid) which can be frozen to produce Refined Phosphorus. This process generates significant heat because the SHC of Refined Phosphorus (0.77) is greater than Phosphorite (0.15).

History

• U44-535720: Renamed Phosphorous to Refined Phosphorus to make it easier to differentiate from Phosphorite.
