Euphemium is a fictional material that serves as one of the mod's endgame materials and one of the most powerful ones. It's extremely expensive to produce in large amounts and you will need great advancement through the mod to use it effectively. It has ingot, nugget, powder, and block forms.

Production

Main page: Guide: Euphemium Creation

Related page: Schrabidium Cluster

In order to obtain euphemium, you need to first craft multiple schrabidium clusters. These require starmetal, schrabidium and ferric schrabidate, which requires a fusion reactor. After you have multiple schrabidium clusters, find any balefire type bomb. A dud works the easiest as it has a small footprint and requires no fueling. After you get the bomb, place the schrabidium clusters around the bomb, similar to how you initially made schrabidium. After you are done, detonate the bomb, and any schrabidium clusters that have balefire on top of them will be transmuted into euphemium-etched schrabidium clusters, which can then be centrifuged into euphemium nuggets. This method is best used to acquire initial euphemium, as duds are rare and schrabidium clusters are very expensive.

It can also be obtained with exposing plutonium to dark matter.

Uses

It can't be made into a plate via the press, so it is made into compound plates with the plasma forge. Euphemium is used in armors, bombs, a special apple, artificial xen crystal and crafting the spark blend.

It can also be used to make the Rod of Discord with the Book of Boxcars.

It can also be used in the custom nuke. It contributes 1 to the anti-mass stage. Ingots and nuggets contribute the same, so nuggets are preferred in this case.

Compound Plate Recipe

Euphemium cannot be stamped, so a plate form must be produced in a plasma forge using the following items:

Properties

As Euphemium is an exotic matter, it exhibits very unusual properties:

Extremely high durability and apparently nigh-indestructible when compounded with astatine and osmiridium.
It can help create singularities, keep them stable, and contained.
It causes temporary paralysis when hit against a creature.
Almost completely inert nature.
Reverse gravity well.

Trivia

Considering its lore discovery and production methods in outdated versions, it implies that depleted Schrabidium fuel contains tiny amounts of Euphemium, but not enough to be of any worth.
Of particular interest, only the base ingredients (ingots, nuggets, powder, etc.) of Euphemium tools and weapons appear in the creative menu, despite the whole set appearing in NEI.
It supposedly tastes like strawberries (relating to its pink color perhaps), but we do not recommend you consume or make oral contact with any exotic matter. You could probably make a cake out of it IF it was edible.
The above is misinformation, I strongly recommend you consume Euphemium. It makes very good cakes.
In older releases, Euphemium's production has been buffed due to how easy Schrabidium was obtainable, then when Schrabidium's production itself was buffed, it was "de-buffed" back to normal.
Euphemium appears to be negative-energy type exotic matter, which means that it should erase matter and energy out of existence on contact (which it does in the Custom Nuke) without proper containment. Thankfully, it does not due to it being unusually inert.
- Negative energy should not be confused with antimatter, which is still positive energy. Instead of creating a massive energy release on contact ( $1+1=2$ ), it simply erases itself and whatever it contacted out of existence ( $-1+1=0$ ).
The name appears to be a reference to Euphemia li Brittania, a character from Code Geass. It would make sense as she was related to the creation of the F.L.E.I.J.A. bomb, which is also present in this mod and requires this material.
