Solanium (So) is a resource.

Summary[ | ]

Solanium (So) is a resource and one of the Harvested Agricultural Substance flora elements.

Game Description[ | ]

Solanium Plant — Solar Vine plant, the source of Solanium

A powerful chemical that has resisted attempts at synthesis. It can be harvested from the bark of the Solar Vine.

The vine requires a hot climate to thrive in the wild, but can be farmed in all environments with the aid of a Hydroponics Tray.

Source[ | ]

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

It can also be found mixed with carbon in carbon-based plants or trees. For easy discovery, scan the surrounding flora with the Analysis Visor.

Please note the spawn rate for the "classic" solanium plants is really low and it is easier to find the element on other flora found on scorched planets.

With assistance from a Farmer, Solanium can be grown as a product of the Solar Vine plant, providing a base yield of 50 with a harvest time of 16 hours. It requires the use of Haz-Mat Gauntlet to safely harvest.

Solanium can be refined using a Refiner with the following ingredients:

Solanium ×1 + Phosphorus ×1 → Solanium ×2 ("Organic Expansion", 0.36 sec./unit output)
Phosphorus ×2 + Oxygen ×1 → Solanium ×1 ("Encourage Growth", 0.36 sec./unit output)
Phosphorus ×1 + Sulphurine ×1 → Solanium ×1 ("Encourage Growth", 0.24 sec./unit output)
Di-hydrogen ×1 + Sulphurine ×1 → Solanium ×1 ("Sulphur Injection", 0.16 sec./unit output)

Use[ | ]

Crafting[]

Solanium is used as an ingredient for crafting the following products:

Heat Capacitor -- Frost Crystal x100 + Solanium x200 → Heat Capacitor
Solar Vine -- Solanium x50 + Phosphorus x25 → Solar Vine

Refining[]

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

Carbon -- Solanium x1 → Carbon x2 ("Burn Plantlife", 0.12 sec./unit output)
Oxygen -- Solanium x1 + Kelp Sac x1 + Condensed Carbon x1 → Oxygen x10 ("Artificial Photosynthesis", 3.6 sec./unit output)
Phosphorus -- Solanium x2 + Salt x1 → Phosphorus x1 ("Floral Titration", 0.36 sec./unit output)
Solanium -- Solanium x1 + Phosphorus x1 → Solanium x2 ("Organic Expansion", 0.36 sec./unit output)

Cooking[]

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

Creature Pellets -- Faecium x1 + Solanium x1 → Creature Pellets x1 ("Prepare Bait", 2.5 sec./unit output)
Floral Wafer -- Sugar Dough x1 + Solanium x1 → Floral Wafer x1 ("Dough Augmentation", 2.5 sec./unit output)
Solartillo -- Solanium x1 → Solartillo x1 ("Extract Nutrients", 2.5 sec./unit output)

Additional Information[ | ]

Base harvest amount for Solanium in a bio-dome is 50.
