Flashgold is a magnetized gold-198 lattice with antimatter inside. It is used to make (virgin) balefire[Notes 1] without needing balefire to begin with. It is extremely radioactive at 250 RAD/s.

Production

Shapeless recipe of a gold-198 billet, an antimatter cell, and some ionized particles from a fusion reactor:

Gold-198 Billet
Antimatter Cell
Ionized Particles
Flashgold Billet
This recipe is shapeless; the inputs may be placed in any arrangement in the crafting grid.

Use

Flashgold RBMK Fuel Rods to produce thermonuclear ashes from the spent fuel, which is then used to make balefire. This will yield on average 44 thermonuclear ashes or 11 balefire shards.

Trivia

  • It is not pyrophoric, despite regular Au-198 being so.

Notes

  1. Refers to balefire produced directly and not by recycling.
