Stars are the individual sparks and streamers that make up a fireworks display. They are crafted in a Star Rack according to recipes taught at Universities of Art and Music.

Cost

Max Batch size is 100.

  • All stars need a binder:
    • Beeswax - for Comet and Ball-type stars, which diffuse in 'pulses'.
    • Cactus Sap - for Comet, Ball, and Line-type stars, all of which diffuse in either pulses or as a straight line.
    • Clay - for 'popper' stars, which diffuse all in one burst at the end of their fire.
    • Tar - for 'sparkler' stars, which diffuse in sparks throughout their runs.
  • All stars need some quantity of Sulfur and Charcoal.
  • All stars need some variety of Salts of Metal. (range 5-250? salts per 10 stars) - normally 1 salt type for most stars, but two-color stars will have two salt types
  • Some stars also need Aluminum Powder. (this is only required on sparkler- or bomb-type stars)

Use

Stars are used in the Test of Pyrotechnics

Available Recipes

  • Every University of Art and Music teaches the two basic star recipes, Flying Frog and Squat Canary.
  • New stars can be designed using a Portable Star Lab. The lab is then turned in to a University of Art and Music. Each time 7 labs have been turned in, one of the previously submitted recipes will be made available to learn from that University.
  • Learning a star from a University in a region not controlled by your faction requires a small cost of 25 Gunpowder.

Please Note: By submitting the Star Labs at the SAME university, more recipes will be unlocked faster than by submitting them at different universities. Please think about this before you submit a Star Lab.


For this table, please use the cost of producing a batch of TEN (10) Stars

For Star Type, please use one of the following:

  • Pulsing - these have a strong glow on the first star, and usually leave a simple trail. There is considerable variability in the size of the star, and the length of the trail. The basic frog and canary designs are this type.
  • Cone (comets) - Have a strong glow at the front, and diffuse into a short 'cone' shape.
  • Bomb (poppers) - These are often hard to see, since they fly their lifetime unignited, and then explode at the end. Single poppers are useful as near-invisible platforms for delivering other stars, while showers of many poppers can be an impressive finale.
  • Trail ("Thin Red Line") - Long thin trails of light, often used for spirals and geometric shapes.
  • Sparkler - These are typically crowd favorites. They leave a shower of sparks as a trail, usually but not always in the same color as the head of the star.

Stars are typically a single basic color, but there are occasional instances of two-color stars. In some cases, both colors are present in the star, and in others, the star has a multi-coloured trail.
