Guide: Euphemium Creation

This is a guide on how to make Euphemium.

All four different ways will be listed down in the next section.

Balefire
You can make Euphemium by nuking Schrabidium Clusters with a Balefire Bomb. If the Balefire (literal fire) lands on a Schrabidium Cluster without destroying it, it will transmutate into an Euphemium-Etched Schrabidium Cluster. The method is the same as the one used for Schrabidium production via Uranium Ore, but utilizing higher tier weapons (Balefire/Antimatter bombs instead of atomic bombs). An actual full-scale Balefire Bomb is not recommended, as it is far too expensive of a process to be worth it.

The Euphemium-Etched Schrabidium Cluster has to be centrifuged. This method will grant you 7 Euphemium Nuggets, 4 Schrabidium Powder, 2 Starmetal Ingots, and 2 Solinium Nuggets. Despite the loss of a Balefire Bomb and a tiny amount of Schrabidium and Starmetal, you get most of it back which you can reuse to make more clusters and repeat the process.

You can also use the Balefire Egg Launcher (BEL) or a Custom Nuke with some antimatter inside instead of a Dud to do this process in any location you desire.

Schrabidium Clusters are completely immune to Balefire weapons, so no need to worry about them getting destroyed. However, Euphemium-Etched Schrabidium Clusters are not, so it is recommended to mine them before detonating another Balefire bomb, which you should do anyway.

This way is good for making a lot of Euphemium very fast, but it will make a big crater in your world and burn everything that can catch fire if you're not careful.

Radii for basic BF devices:

 * Dud
 * ~40 blocks
 * Balefire AMAT Shell
 * ~40 blocks
 * Custom Nuke (2 Explosive Charges, 2 Pu239 ingots, 1 antimatter cell)
 * ~20 blocks

Pros and Cons:
+ Creates a lot of Euphemium (7 nuggets per cluster).

+ Creates Euphemium really fast.

+ Fairly cheap to an extent (your clusters can be placed around a random Dud).

+ You get back most of your Schrabidium and Starmetal after the Euphemium Clusters are centrifuged.

+ Easy to learn if you used its Schrabidium equivalent.

+ Schrabidium clusters are immune to Balefire detonations

! BEL can be dangerous to use if you're not used to it.

! Custom nukes are somewhat expensive to make.

- Leaves behind a large Balefire crater if you have too few Schrabidium Clusters.

- Hard and expensive to make BF-type bombs when you run out of Duds.

- Balefire can spread and burn down the nearby environment if you're not careful.

- Balefire could destroy mined up clusters if not handled carefully.

Breeding Reactor
Another way to make Euphemium is to breed Solinium Quad Rods in a Breeding Reactor. This method is rather expensive, but feasible if you've stocked up on Schrabidium (or Solinium via waste extraction).

Pros and Cons:
+ Can create 1 Euphemium ingot very fast if you have 9 Breeding Reactors running.

+ Doesn't ruin your world (getting Schrabidium can be a completely different story).

+ Gives use to Solinium, a waste product of Schrabidium Fuel or from the Balefire method.

- Requires 4 HEAT

- Very expensive if you don't have Solinium from waste (requires a lot of Schrabidium).

- Slow.

- Requires a lot of breeder fuel to mass-produce.

Euphemium Dynosynthesis
The third way to make Euphemium is with the Chemical Plant. Note that the Chemical Plant uses up 1 Euphemium Ingot to create 12 Euphemium Nuggets. The ingredients you need are: 16x Clay Catalysts, 1x Schrabidium Dynosphere (Charged), 1x Plutonium Ingot, and 1x Euphemium Ingot.

This method will give you a profit of 3 Euphemium Nuggets and 100mb of Poisonous Mud.

It also returns the Schrabidium and Energy Powder for reuse.

Pros and Cons:
+ Gives you a slightly better profit than the Breeding Reactor method. (3 > 1)

+ Doesn't ruin your world.

! Requires a lot of time and patience (180 seconds). Using speed upgrades will make it run faster, but will also consume more energy in the process.

- Consumes a lot of Desh for their Dynospheres.

- Takes a lot of power (100MHE).

- Needs 1 Euphemium Ingot to produce 12 Nuggets, which means this method only technically gives you 3 nuggets (which also means you would've needed a previous method of acquisition to start anyway).

Dark Matter from a Particle Accelerator
The fourth and final way to produce Euphemium is to use a Dark Matter particle produced from a Hadron-type Particle Accelerator. This method is extremely simple, however it requires massive amounts of work prior.

Simply surround a Dark Matter capsule with 8 Plutonium ingots to produce 8 Euphemium ingots.

Pros and Cons:
+ Extremely simple.

+ Makes a lot of Euphemium from simple Plutonium.

- Requires a very powerful Particle Accelerator.

- Requires gargantuan amounts of resources to construct the Hadron.

- Requires ludicrous amounts of power to run the Hadron even for 1 operation.
