Gallium

Gallium is a special liquid in Mindustry with no general-purpose in-game uses. It is primarily produced by the Slag Centrifuge and currently does not feed into any standard production chains, though it is listed as usable in specific industrial processes. In early v7 builds Gallium was used as a main liquid ingredient for unit factory recipes on the Erekir map. The liquid’s sprite was originally taken from an Example Mod by Anuke.

Gallium technical and gameplay attributes:

• Produced by: Slag Centrifuge.
• Sources feeding its production: Slag and Sand.
• Downstream products: none at present; listed as usable only in niche industrial processes.
• Liquid internal ID: #6; English ID: gallium.
• Explosion chance: 0%.
• Flammability (burn chance): 0%.
• Heat capacity: 50%.
• Viscosity: 50%.
• Temperature: 50%.
• Boiling point: 2.0 (game units).

Practical notes and strategy:

• Because Gallium presently has no mainstream crafting outputs, it is primarily a byproduct of processing slag with the Slag Centrifuge; plan production and storage accordingly to avoid unused tanks filling up.
• Its zero explosion and burning values make it safe to store near volatile processes or core defenses without added risk.
• The physical-stat values (heat capacity, viscosity, temperature) are middling; use ordinary pipes and pumps rather than specialized thermal or viscous handling unless a mod or map mechanic requires it.
• Historical and flavor context: the name and concept draw from real-world gallium (element Ga), a low-melting-point metal, which fits the game’s Erekir environment where liquids behave unusually compared to Earth.
• Keep an eye on mods and map-specific recipes: Gallium has seen use in past builds and mod content, so future maps or community mods may provide new uses.
