Stereotypical Green Ooze is a type of liquid (probably molten) nuclear waste. It doesn’t cause chunk radiation, however, if a player touches the liquid, they can get lethal doses of radiation. The ooze slows the player down a lot, making it very hard to step out. It cannot be put into tanks or barrels as it has no fluid ID.

Obtention

  • Primarily found in the very rare "Barrel" structure.
  • The ooze can also generate in pools and tanks inside the meteor dungeon.
  • Can be acquired by detonating radioactive barrels or by having a nuclear reactor meltdown.

Uses

Trivia

  • Considering how this substance was produced, what it likely is composed of, and its danger, it is most likely based on the real life substance corium[1], which is in layman's terms, nuclear lava.
    • It is composed of fuel materials, nuclear waste, and components of the reactor itself such as the control rods.
    • It is incredibly dangerous, not just with its intense radiation, but also heat that will persist due to said radiation.
    • Notable nuclear accidents that produced corium are Thee Mile Island, Chernobyl (see Elephant's Foot[2]), and Fukushima.
    • Corium is now a seperate liquid in the mod.
