Reaction agents
These reagents have active effects on reactions, consuming themselves on transfer. They can even be added to a full beaker for their effects to take place!
| Name | Formula | Reaction conditions | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Acidic Buffer▮ | 2 parts Ethanol 2 parts Hydrogen 2 parts Sodium 2 parts Water |
Min react temp: 250K Overheat temp: 9999K pH range: 0 to 14 Min purity: 0.3 Mildly H+ producing |
This reagent will consume itself and move the pH of a beaker towards acidity when added to another. |
| Basic Buffer▮ | 3 parts Ammonia 2 parts Chlorine 2 parts Hydrogen 2 parts Oxygen |
Min react temp: 250K Overheat temp: 9999K pH range: 0 to 14 Min purity: 0.3 Mildly H+ consuming |
This reagent will consume itself and move the pH of a beaker towards alkalinity when added to another. |
| Universal indicator▮ | 1 parts Ash 1 part Oil 1 part Welding Fuel 1 part Carbon Temperature 480K 1 parts Ethanol |
Min react temp: 274K |
This reagent can be used to craft pH paper from the crafting menu. Will also dye anything it touches its associated pH value. |
| Purity Tester Reagent▮ | 1 part Prefactor a 1 part Stable plasma |
Required temp:below 800K Overheat temp: none Optimal pH range: 2 to 12 Min purity: 0.25 minorly H+ producing |
When added to a beaker, this reagent will either fizzle if a reagent in there is impure, or will do nothing if all of the reagents are above their purity threshold. |
| Tempomyocin▮ | 1 part Prefactor b 1 part Stable plasma |
Required temp: 50K Overheat temp: 500K Optimal pH range: 5 to 8 Min purity: 0.35 H+ producing Dangerous |
This will instantly speed up any reaction added it is added to, giving it a short burst of speed. Adding this reagent to a reaction will give it a sudden speed boost up to 3x - with the output purity of the boost modified by the Tempomyocin's purity. 5u per 100u will give you 2x, 10u per 100u will give you 3x. It caps at 3x for a single addition, but there is nothing preventing you from adding multiple doses for multiple boosts. |
| Prefactor a▮ | 1 part Phenol 3 parts Ethanol |
Required temp:below 800K Overheat temp: none Optimal pH range: 2 to 12 Min purity: 0.25 Very Endothermic |
This is part of a competitive reaction between Purity Tester and Tempomyocin. This outcompetes when the reaction is cold. |
| Prefactor b▮ | 1 part Phenol 3 parts Ethanol |
Required temp: 50K Overheat temp: 500K Optimal pH range: 5 to 8 Min purity: 0.35 Extremely Endothermic minor H+ producing Dangerously volitile |
This is part of a competitive reaction between Purity Tester and Tempomyocin. This outcompetes when the reaction is hot. |
