In Nuclear Tech Mod, antimatter, specifically antihydrogen, is a purely black fluid, primarily held in cells or capsules. If the cell is dropped on the floor as an item, it will blow up, causing a bright gamma-ray flash. Though technically, antimatter would have to be contained within magnetic containment, this only counts for the barrels. Only large quantities of antimatter must either be held in large magnetic tanks or small magnetic antimatter containment barrels.
Production
Antimatter can be produced directly with a particle accelerator:
A cyclotron also produces varying amounts of it as a byproduct of most recipes.
Cells of it may also be looted from spaceships.
Uses
The first use of antimatter is in a particle accelerator, to produce a antischrabidium capsule and a muon capsule:
The other uses of antimatter are in the regular crafting table:
And lastly, it is also used in the cyclotron:
Trivia
- Although not directly stated, it is said to be antihydrogen in the tooltip for flashgold RBMK fuel.
- Antimatter used to be dropped by Wither Skeletons when killed with a weapon that had the "Decapitator" weapon ability. This was an attempt to prevent Withers from being farmed too quickly. It was quickly removed however due to it being extremely exploitable.
- The color of antimatter is most likely just black because it makes the fluid more distinct.
