Ionized particles are a special item only obtainable in fusion reactors. This item is required to obtain balefire or to craft the most endgame material. It can be also used as fuel in Fusion Reactor by liquefying it, making helium-4. This also implies that ionized particles are helium-4 particles, but ionized, as the name suggests.

Production

It can be produced in 2 ways:

  1. Fusion reactor - all plasmas except for helium-4-oxygen and balefire-antimatter. helium-3-deuterium is recommended due to 50% faster production.
  2. Chlorinated petroleum wax + ionic gel - can be repeated infinitely If supplied with constant chlorinated petroleum wax and initially at least 1 ionized particle cloud, which also means you still need a fusion reactor in order for this to work.

Duplication

As mentioned above, ionized particles can be effectively duplicated, as long as you already have at least 1 ionized particle cloud, and can produce a steady source of chlorinated petroleum wax. To perform this, you'll need a mixer and an ore acidizer, and a conveyor setup with a splitter to send off your newly generated particles to wherever they're needed.

The first step is to take your ionized particles and mix them with liquid hydrogen and water:

Liquid Hydrogen
200mB
Water
1,000mB
Ionized Particles
Ionic Gel
1,000mB

Then, pipe that ionic gel into an acidizer:

Ionic Gel
500mB
Chlorinated Petroleum Wax
Ionized Particles

Note that the mixer produces 1,000mB of ionic gel, while the acidizer can produce another cloud of particles with half that, effectively doubling your yield.

Uses

Trivia

  • Ionized Particles may be just "solidified" helium-4
