Composition C-4

A bar of Composition C-4.

Composition C-4 or just C-4 is a plastic explosive used in many recipes, and it has a dark pink color. Not to be confused with Semtex.

Production

It can be made in three ways:

• In the crafting table with shapeless crafting, putting laboratory glassware, a universal fluid tank of unsaturated hydrocarbons and niter will give 4 bars of C-4.
• In the chemical plant, 500 mB of unsaturated hydrocarbons, and 1 niter yield 4 bars of C-4.
• Irradiating 1 bar of PVC in an RBMK irradiation channel yields 1 bar of C-4 and 250 mB of colloid.

Uses

Composition C-4 replaces Semtex it the majority of its recipes, making it a much cheaper and simpler option than Semtex. The only exceptions are the demolition charge and the C-4 TNT-like block. Both use sticks of C-4, with the charge using 3 sticks and with the block, 8 sticks.

With sticks of Semtex, a Semtex mining charge can be made, which drops all blocks and has fortune, which makes it better in terms of drops than the demolition charge.

Trivia

• Unlike Semtex, C-4 cannot be eaten ingame. - Again, plastic explosives are not actually edible, do not attempt this in real life.
