Ozone

Ozone is a volatile liquid resource in Mindustry used primarily as an oxidizer and as a fuel component in material production. In the game it is represented with a pink hue (hex color #FC81DD) to distinguish it from other fluids and has the internal liquid id "ozone". Ozone is treated as a gas-type fluid in the game's data and is notable for being both highly explosive and highly flammable, reflecting its role as a powerful oxidizer.

Ozone can be used as ammunition for certain turrets and as a production input where oxidation or combustible reagent behavior is required. Its dual role as an oxidizer and fuel makes it valuable in recipes that demand strong reactive fluids. The game's technical data records Ozone with a boiling point flag of -1, a heat capacity of 50%, viscosity of 50%, and a temperature modifier of 50%. The item id recorded in data tables is #6 and its localization key is liquid.ozone.name.

Practical notes for handling and use:

• Ozone is both 100% explosive and 100% burning in the game's property flags; expect highly reactive behavior when used near detonations or incendiary effects.
• The fluid appears pink in-game, making it visually distinct from other liquids.
• Use Ozone where recipes call for a strong oxidizer or combustible fluid; it functions as a material input rather than a basic resource like water or oil.
• Ozone can serve as ammunition for certain turrets that accept fluid-based ammo; consult turret requirements to determine compatibility.
• In real-world terms, ozone is triatomic oxygen (O3) and is a strong oxidizer; the game mirrors this by giving it explosive and oxidizing characteristics.

Technical identifiers and presentation:

• English id: ozone
• Liquid id: #6
• Color: #FC81DD
• Heat capacity: 50%
• Viscosity: 50%
• Temperature: 50%
• Boiling point flag: -1

Background/trivia:

• The in-game Ozone draws on the real-world chemical ozone (O3), which is a potent oxidizing agent and forms the ozone layer that absorbs ultraviolet radiation. Real ozone ranges from colorless to pale blue; the game assigns it a pink color for clarity and distinction.
