Gamma Root is a resource.

Summary[edit | edit source]

Gamma Root (Gr) is a resource and one of the Harvested Agricultural Substance flora elements.

A strange substance that seems to slowly shift the air around it. It is found in the roots of the Gamma Weed plant.

Gamma Weed requires high background radiation to thrive in the wild, but can be farmed in all environments with the aid of a Hydroponics Tray.

Collecting Gamma Root in the wild

This element can be harvested from wild plants, but requires the use of Haz-Mat Gauntlet.

With assistance from a Farmer, it can also be grown as a product of the Gamma Weed plant, yielding 50 with a harvest time of 4 hours.

Gamma Root can be refined using a Refiner with the following ingredients:

Gamma Root x1 + Uranium x1 → Gamma Root x2 ("Organic Expansion", 0.9 sec./unit output)
Uranium x2 + Oxygen x1 → Gamma Root x1 ("Encourage Growth", 0.9 sec./unit output)
Uranium x1 + Radon x1 → Gamma Root x1 ("Encourage Growth", 0.6 sec./unit output)

Gamma Root is used as an ingredient for crafting the following products:

Gamma Root is used as an ingredient for refining the following products using a Refiner:

Carbon -- Gamma Root x1 → Carbon x2 ("Burn Plantlife", 0.3 sec./unit output)
Gamma Root -- Gamma Root x1 + Uranium x1 → Gamma Root x2 ("Organic Expansion", 0.9 sec./unit output)
Oxygen -- Gamma Root x1 + Kelp Sac x1 + Condensed Carbon x1 → Oxygen x10 ("Artificial Photosynthesis", 9 sec./unit output)
Uranium -- Gamma Root x2 + Salt x1 → Uranium x1 ("Floral Titration", 0.9 sec./unit output)

Gamma Root is used as an ingredient for cooking the following products using a Nutrient Processor:

Scented Herbs -- Gamma Root x1 + Faecium x1 → Scented Herbs x1 ("Prepare Bait", 5 sec./unit output)
Sievert Beans -- Gamma Root x1 → Sievert Beans x1 ("Extract Nutrients", 5 sec./unit output)

Having "Optical Drill" and "Mining beam upgrades" installed on the multi-tool increases the harvest yield amount.
