Description
Nitrice is the nickname given to solid Nitrogen ice, and found on many planets and moons in the Solar System. Given the inert nature of the Nitrogen it produces, the ice is useful when making breathable atmospheres with low flammability.
Highly sensitive to temperature, nitrice will begin to melt as soon as it is mined, unless teh temperature is below zero, or it is stored in the Mining Belt, Mining Belt MK II or devices like the Ice Crusher or Fridge Small.
- Stationpedia
Nitrice is a frozen ore that can be mined throughout the surface and underground of a planet or an asteroid using a Mining Drill or Pickaxe.
It is recommended to equip the Mining Belt before mining, as mining ice without the belt will put the ore in the player's hand, where it may start to melt. Ice is extremely sensitive to temperature and will sublimate to gas if the surrounding temperature is at 0 °C or above. This can be avoided, even in hot environments, if the ice is placed in a Mining Belt or specific devices like the Ice Crusher (even when turned off).
Processing
Nitrice can be processed into a Pipe Network by placing it into an Ice Crusher. However, it must then be filtered as Nitrice is a mix of nitrogen and nitrous oxide.
If necessary, Nitrice can also be turned into a gas by being placed on the ground or in the player's hand when the surrounding temperature is at or above 0 °C. This will release the ice's components into the surrounding atmosphere, however, which may not be ideal.
One unit of Nitrice is composed of the following components:
| Amount | Material |
|---|---|
| 22.5 mol (90%) | Nitrogen (N2) |
| 2.5 mol (10%) | Nitrous Oxide (N2O) |
