Explosives are a component item used in construction of warheads. Explosives can also be detonated in world by a shot from a Weapon.

Usage

Since you cannot build Explosives in a Survival Kit or Basic Assembler, they are a mid-game item, you need a full Assembler.

They do not have to be assembled into a block to be dangerous: If the items are dropped in the world, they explode when shot. However, using Character Weapons or Icon Item Flare Gun.png Flare Guns to detonate a pile of Explosives does not necessarily lead to linear explosion size and force. Furthermore, randomly placing explosives may lead to server clean up removing them as a floating object. But, as an impromptu weapon and improvised explosive device, they make swift anti-personal mines and breaching charges.

Damage

The explosion radius of a stack of Explosives is 10 cm * (number of Explosives in a stack), it scales linearly up to 125m, and it causes roughly 54% damage to a Light Armor Block. Explosives are rather compact for their punch.

Detonating explosives remotely by shooting them with a rifle. Please stand back.

Port size

On small grids, the Explosives fits through small ports.

Construction

Explosives are only required to construct one block:
