Nitanium

Nitanium blend is a blue powder material made similar to Desh blend or Energy Powder. It has no solid or refined form.

Production

Nitanium is produced by mixing 6 powders together on the crafting table. A Cyclotron is required to get most of them, as they do not generate naturally except Thorium and Cobalt.

There are 2 potential methods of producing Nitanium blend:

Neptunium
Iodine
Thorium
Astatine
Neodymium
Caesium

or

Strontium
Cobalt
Bromine
Tennessine
Niobium
Cerium

Small amounts can be found by Centrifuging Trixite.

Nitanium blend can also be acquired from an Asteroid Mining Ship or by Centrifuging NITAN© 100 Octane Super Fuel.

Uses

Nitanium only has a few uses:

Elite Radiation Absorber upgrade.

Spark Blend

Mk. 2 Overdrive Upgrade

Trivia

The name "NITAN" comes from the original compositional elements: Neptunium, Iodine, Thorium, Astatine and Neodymium, Caesium not included.
A so-called ''NITAN Chest'' is a chest found at every 10k x 10k coordinate (be it negative or not) containing, curiously, all the powders needed to make the Nitanium Blend.
- This may be a remnant of the long-ago war that was the source of the duds and crashed spaceships, along with crushed and non-crashed vertibirds, as it could, for instance, be that we are in the remains of a country that was under siege, and that the chests were there so that the general population could try to fight back with weapons made with, for one option, spark blend, which can make multiple weapons.
