Phosphorus is a resource.

Summary[ | ]

Phosphorus (P) is a resource and one of the localised earth elements.

Game description[ | ]

Local mineral extract, typically found in large deposits or extracted from common minerals after inspection with an Analysis Visor.

Typically found on planets with a scorched environment.

Source[ | ]

Phosphorus can be refined using a Refiner with the following ingredients:

  • SUBSTANCE.PLANT.HOT Solanium x2  +  SUBSTANCE.WATER.1 Salt x1  →  SUBSTANCE.BIOME.HOT Phosphorus x1  ("Floral Titration", 0.36 sec./unit output)
  • SUBSTANCE.BIOME.COLD Dioxite x2  +  SUBSTANCE.LAND.1 Ferrite Dust x1  →  SUBSTANCE.BIOME.HOT Phosphorus x1  ("Environmental Element Transfer", 0.36 sec./unit output)
  • SUBSTANCE.BIOME.COLD Dioxite x2  +  SUBSTANCE.LAND.2 Pure Ferrite x1  →  SUBSTANCE.BIOME.HOT Phosphorus x1  ("Environmental Element Transfer", 0.36 sec./unit output)

Trivia[ | ]

  • In real life, Phosphorus is almost never found freely in nature; except for minerals such as apatite. Phosphorus is found organically in sources of bone ash and guano and is also produced in supernovae as a byproduct of supernova nucleosynthesis, where the phosphorus-to-iron ratio from the supernova remnant is believed to be 100 times higher than Milky Way supernovae byproducts in general.
