Mercury is a very important fluid to progression in the mod, being most importantly in the production of desh, a useful alloy used in many recipes that allow for further progression. Not only that, but it can also produce NITAN© super fuel, a expensive, but very effective fuel in the mod. It is also one of the few fluids in the mod with the [Toxic Fumes] trait.

Conversion Note

8

Each drop of mercury is the equivalent of 125mB mercury in liquid form when placed inside a fluid container such as a barrel, think of each drop like a ingot of the fluid. Tiny drops of mercury are the equivalent of nuggets of a drop of mercury, 9 of them are required to produce a single drop of mercury.

Production (Drops)

Drops of mercury are more common to get acquired than the fluid, and they can be produced through several ways, excluding the bottle method.

Trivia

Mercury was found in Egyptian tombs that date from 1,500 BC.
Cinnabar, the most common natural source of mercury, has been in use since the Neolithic Age.
In China and Tibet, mercury use was thought to prolong life, heal fractures, and maintain generally good health, although it is now known that exposure to mercury vapor leads to serious adverse health effects.
Alchemists thought of mercury as the "First Matter" from which all metals were formed. They believed that different metals could be produced by varying the quality and quantity of sulfur contained within the mercury.
