Upon eating a meal which uses {{plain name}} as an ingredient, the player will either gain a permanent +1 to their [[AV]], or they will [[Instant death|instantly die]]. Dying in this way will grant the [[Starry Demise]] achievement.

[[highly entropic beings]] are the only faction that requires neutron flux as a [[Water Ritual]] liquid.
== Volatility ==
== Sources of Neutron flux ==
Neutron flux is a volatile liquid that, for most actions performed to it, will [[explosions|explode]] with a force of 15,000, causing {{heart}}{{dice tooltip|10d10+250}} damage to any creatures, items, or walls caught in the explosion. Dying from a {{plain name}} explosion will grant an [[Achievements#Starry_Demise|achievement]].
* Rarely, high tier {{favilink|dromad trader|plural}}, {{favilink|kipper|plural}}, {{favilink|ichor merchant|plural}}, and {{favilink|chef|plural}} will sell neutron flux.
* The {{favilink|Alchemist}} is guaranteed to have one dram of neutron flux for sale.
* One vial is a possible reward from the [[Bey Lah]] questline.

== Tips ==
==Uses of Neutron Flux==
{{Opinion}}
* Upon eating a meal which uses {{plain name}} as an ingredient, the player will either gain a permanent +1 to their {{AV}}[[AV]], or they will [[Instant death|instantly die]]. This is treated as a single cooking effect of "+1 AV Permanently. Small chance of Gravitational Collapse." (with the rate of failure being 10%), so the good and bad outcomes cannot be seperated out via making a [[Carbide Chef]] recipe.
* Neutron flux can be used in a pinch as a very damaging thrown weapon if inside a fragile container like a {{favilink|glass bottle}} or a {{favilink|phial}}. However, note that a container shattering is similar to a distant pour, so it will explode if it lands on another liquid, the ground, or drips off the creature that it was poured on.

* At a commerce value of 1000 per dram, {{Plain name}} is one the more valuable liquids by weight, and the third most valuable item by weight.

* [[Highly entropic beings]] used to require neutron flux as a [[Water Ritual]] liquid, but now ask for {{favilink|warm static}} instead.


===RNG prediction===
* When a dram of {{plain name}} would fail during cooking, a {{favilink|Drop of Nectar}} will succeed, allowing the player to accurately predict when they should and should not consume a Drop of Nectar for a guaranteed success. This is because when {{plain name}} is rolled in cooking, the game checks a roll of 10 in 100. When the roll is 10 or under, the check fails, and the {{plain name}} causes an explosion. Nectar, meanwhile, succeeds if a roll of 25 in 100 is 25 or under. Since the roll is always under 25 when the {{plain name}} fails, it is possible to go back using [[Precognition]] or a {{favilink|Sphynx salt injector}} and roll a Drop of Nectar instead of a {{plain name}} when it would have failed, guaranteeing you receive the beneficial effects of a Drop of Nectar every time. This strategy may require the player to secure large amounts of {{plain name}} to guarantee Nectar success, however.
