Desh is an exotic, fictional alloy made of 9 rare earth metals in blend form, which is then solidified and refined using  mercury and  light oil in the  chemical plant. Desh has very high blast-resistance, heat-resistance, corrosion-resistance, and durability. It has a deep red color and is described as nearly indestructible.

Its unrefined blend form can be acquired from the  lunar mining ship and from shredding  rare earth ore.

Production

Desh blend must be refined and processed in a chemical plant with mercury and light oil.

Alternatively, it can be produced in an acidizer using DeshReady™ blend.

Desh Blend

Desh blend is primarily made from shredding rare earth ore.

Alternatively, it can be made from its components in a crafting table.

DeshReady™ Blend

DeshReady™ is an alternative method to produce desh without  light oil. This requires an existing  ore acidizer, meaning it requires desh to process.

Uses

It's primarily used in ingot and compound plate form, but its powder and unrefined blend form can also be used.

Desh tools only have the harvest level of iron, but they are unbreakable. They can be upgraded into  schrabidium tools which gives them numerous abilities, at the cost of them being no longer indestructible.

It's used in various mid-late game machines. The size 15 solid fuel missile fuselage can even be plated in desh to increase its HP.

Compound Plate Recipe

Desh cannot be stamped, so it has to be made into a compound plate instead in one of the anvils:

Trivia

• It has a small indentation in the middle of its ingot texture.
• It's made of real materials, but it itself is not real.
  • There are some rare earth metal alloys that have various uses, but they do not share many of the same properties.
• Its block form has a square and diagonal stripe, reminiscent of a barrier block.
• Its block form's name is "Reinforced Block of Desh", which is odd, as there is no non-reinforced desh block.
  • The same with  high-speed steel.
• There is a desh nugget in the mod, but it is not fully implemented yet as it has no crafting recipe or any uses.
• Desh is possibly a reference to the Star Wars material. That type of desh is also added by GalactiCraft. It can also be a reference to the Le Verrier space station in Doctor Who which is made of a red material (desh).
  • Since desh in GalactiCraft is fairly easy to obtain, it used to be possible to "cheese" past NTM desh processing thanks to OreDictionary, but NTM desh's OreDict registry was changed to maintain its place in progression.
• Desh is incredibly hard and overall durable, which is interesting because several of its components are actually rather soft.
