Sand types

Rules of physics

The table below describes how physics interact with each sand type.

Static types

Static sand sits in place and is not displaced by physics.

Type Blocks creeper Extra notes
BEDROCK Yes Cannot be excavated
BREEDERLAND No Spawns creeper on anticreeper, depending on which type is on top of it
CREEPERDAMAGELAND Yes Decays in contact with creeper
LAND Yes
LANDLOW0 Partially Only blocks creeper up until a certain amount
METAL Yes Melts in contact with corrosive liquids
ROCK Yes Cannot be excavated
UNSTABLELAND Yes Decays on its own after a random amount of time
WOOD Yes Will burn when set on fire

Sand types

This sand type falls down with gravity, but doesn't flow.

Type Blocks creeper Extra notes
ACORE No Nearby AC ore is collected by miners to produce Anti-Creeper
BLOCKIUM Yes Not damaged by creeper
EMBER No Created when enemies are nullified, can set materials on fire, decays quickly
KIRKIUM No Decays immediately in contact with creeper
PIXELIUM Yes Not damaged by creeper
RIFTIUM Yes Created when enemies are nullified, can be collected with lathes for credits
SAND Yes Decays in contact with creeper
STONE Yes More difficult to excavate

Liquid types

Liquid type falls down with gravity, and flows like a liquid. Most of the time, ships can be flown into and operate inside liquids, but they may be damaged by dangerous liquids.

Type Blocks creeper Extra notes
ACID Yes Extremely harmful to ships
ANGORIUM No Can be collected by T.O.M. to supercharge it for a brief amount of time
C BREEDER LIQUID No Spawns creeper if there is creeper on top of it
LAVA Yes Extremely harmful to ships
MOLTENMETAL Yes Ships cannot be moved to or operate inside
PITLIQUID No Destroys creeper on contact
WATER Yes Harmless to ships

Gas types

Gas types flow similar to liquids, except upwards. They generally decay after a short while. Most of them mainly exist to enhance visuals.

Type Blocks creeper Extra notes
ACIDRAIN No Flows violently after hitting a ceiling. Turns back into ACID after a short while
CREEPERGASRISE No Created when creeper evaporates. Evaporation occurs when creeper of very low density flows
TERPGAS No Created when terraforming

Interactions

Below is a list of notable sand type interactions

Interaction
ACID + LAVA Creates ACIDRAIN
ACID + PIXELIUM Instantly mixes into PITLIQUID
ANGORIUM + T.O.M. Supercharges the T.O.M. turret briefly
WOOD Set on fire by EMBER, LAVA or MOLTENMETAL
WATER + LAVA Creates STONE
WATER + C BREEDER LIQUID Liquids of similar viscosity mix together at constant odds
