Gamma Root can be refined using a Refiner with the following ingredients:

  • SUBSTANCE.PLANT.RADIO Gamma Root x1  +  SUBSTANCE.BIOME.RADIO Uranium x1  →  SUBSTANCE.PLANT.RADIO Gamma Root x2  ("Organic Expansion", 0.36 sec./unit output)
  • SUBSTANCE.BIOME.RADIO Uranium x2  +  SUBSTANCE.AIR.1 Oxygen x1  →  SUBSTANCE.PLANT.RADIO Gamma Root x1  ("Encourage Growth", 0.36 sec./unit output)
  • SUBSTANCE.BIOME.RADIO Uranium x1  +  GAS.2 Radon x1  →  SUBSTANCE.PLANT.RADIO Gamma Root x1  ("Encourage Growth", 0.24 sec./unit output)
