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

• As a secondary element in some minerals or in Resource Deposits or Hotspots on planets with Scorched biomes.
• Also available from some Galactic Trade Terminals.

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

• Solanium x2  +   Salt x1  →   Phosphorus x1  ("Floral Titration", 0.9 sec./unit output)
• Dioxite x2  +   Ferrite Dust x1  →   Phosphorus x1  ("Enviromental Element Transfer", 0.9 sec./unit output)
• Dioxite x2  +   Pure Ferrite x1  →   Phosphorus x1  ("Enviromental Element Transfer", 0.9 sec./unit output)

Use

Crafting

Phosphorus is used as an ingredient for crafting the following products:

• Airburst Engine  --  Chromatic Metal x150  +  Phosphorus x150  +  Oxygen x150  →   Airburst Engine
• Coolant Network  --  Phosphorus x150  +  Silver x60  +  Copper x75  →   Coolant Network
• Hazard Protection Unit (base building)  --  Metal Plating x1  +  Ionised Cobalt x20  +  Phosphorus x50  →   Hazard Protection Unit (base building)
• Infra-Knife Accelerator  --  Phosphorus x200  +  Wiring Loom x2  →   Infra-Knife Accelerator
• Magno-Gold  --  Ionised Cobalt x50  +  Phosphorus x50  →   Magno-Gold
• Megawatt Heater  --  Phosphorus x80  +  Uranium x50  +  Wiring Loom x1  →   Megawatt Heater
• Noise Box  --  Metal Plating x2  +  Ion Battery x2  +  Phosphorus x40  →   Noise Box
• Solar Vine  --  Solanium x50  +  Phosphorus x25  →   Solar Vine

Refining

Phosphorus is used as an ingredient for refining the following products using a Refiner:

• Ferrite Dust  --  Phosphorus x1  →   Ferrite Dust x1  ("Ferrite Dust Extraction", 0.9 sec./unit output)

• Uranium  --  Phosphorus x2  +  Pure Ferrite x1  →   Uranium x1  ("Enviromental Element Transfer", 0.9 sec./unit output)

Cooking

Phosphorus is not used as an ingredient for cooking using a Nutrient Processor.

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.
