==Sources==
'''Explosives''' are made in an upgraded [[Chemistry Laboratory]]. It does not need to have a macerator or an alcohol lamp, but it needs to have all glassware installed. It is recommended to make some q1 glassware to use for making explosives. Requires [[Chemistry Recipe - Explosives]] and {{RequireSkill | Chemistry | 2}}.

'''Making explosives is extremely time and material intensive due to the resulting lab mishaps that will occur so be prepared for this.'''

==Cost==
===Volatile Explosives===
*50 [[Gunpowder]]
*10 [[Aluminum Powder]]
*2 [[Set|Set's Compound Extract]]

===Low Explosives===
*50 [[Gunpowder]]
*10 [[Aluminum Powder]]
*2 [[Osiris|Osiris's Compound Extract]]

===High Explosives===
*50 [[Gunpowder]]
*10 [[Aluminum Powder]]
*2 [[Thoth|Thoth's Compound Extract]]

Notes:

*Making explosives starts a [[Constitution]] timer. (82 seconds at con 3, 58 seconds @ con 7)

*Be prepared for lots of failed attempts (which will use up your mat's)!

*Damage to surrounding structures, including the lab, and glassware will occur so have high [[Structure Repair]] and extra glassware available.

*You are unable to remove explosives from the lab if it is damaged below a condition of GOOD.

==Use==
Volatile explosives can detonate at any time. They can explode when standing still and doing nothing having it in your pocket. Malard has confirmed on Discord that using the Walking emote is safer than using the Running emote, but there is a timer which fires every 5 minutes to check whether the explosives should explode and this happens even if the avatar is not moving at all.

Low explosives require an Explosives Handling skill of 3 or more and are needed for two types of constructions for [[Test of the Seven Phoenix]]

Any type of explosive can be used in a [[Detonation Box]]:
*100 High Explosives + 100 Medium Stones = 1000+ Gravel scattered over a very wide area. There might have been more I just didn't find them.
*20 Low Explosives + 100 Medium Stones = 2500 Gravel stays in the box.
*100 Volatile Explosives + 100 Medium Stones = 2500+ Gravel scattered in 6-200+ piles over a wide area.
*(Can use a minimum of 40 explosives for a proportional amount of gravel/medium stones-I had 100 stones loaded when I detonated 40 low explosives, the 60 excess stones were still in the box afterwards ~ ''Lilyoptra 8/2/16'')

==Research and Tuition==
*''200 Volatile explosives required for [[Detonation]] research''
*''100 Low explosives required for [[Detonation]] research''
*''50 High explosives required for [[Detonation]] research''

== WARNING! ==

'''VOLATILE EXPLOSIVES DETONATE AN AREA 50x50, NOT 15x15, CENTERED ON THE LOCATION OF THE DETONATION. THE AREA AROUND YOUR EXPLOSIVES LAB SHOULD BE CLEAR OF ANY NEIGHBORS, ETC FOR AT LEAST 25 COORDINATES IN EVERY DIRECTION'''

As a courtesy, label the Explosives Compound as such so that someone doesn't come along later and build nearby.

==Suggestions==

You need to build a separate compound for an explosive's chemistry lab with no other structures nearby. Mishaps '''will''' happen frequently while creating explosives, causing damage to the lab and any other structures in the surrounding area. You DO NOT want this to happen in your regular compound!

With a [[Cornerstone]] installed, no damage occurs to the compound after a lab mishap. (No damage will occur to the compound with or without a [[Cornerstone]] installed. -Silentdeth)

As tempting as it is, don't build any storage at the explosives compound. It will just get damaged, you won't be able to get anything out of it while damaged, and it will just be one more thing that requires repair - not worth it.

You need to have [[Structure Repair]] 7 skill when trying to make explosives. (I was only able to successfully make 1, sometimes 2, repairs at level 2). Unsuccessfully repairing a structure starts a 60-second rest timer. Note: Even with Structure Repair 7, it can take many attempts to repair a structure even one level. Worst case, repairing just the lab after a major mishap can take dozens of attempts and an hour or two of time.

If you are able (and willing) to use [[Macros]], the Simon macro on Automato can be useful for repairing the lab. I set it to a large number of passes with a timer of 75k ms (to allow for lag and Pluri/Teppy [[Time]]) and have it running even when I am using the lab to continue to raise the condition.

Repairing an expedition site (and presumably chariots) takes the following base materials, each with a multiplier of N. It's currently unknown how N is calculated, but seems to be a non-linear function of the amount of explosives used to blow up the expedition site.

==Explosives Handling==
The first time a player tries to make some volatile explosives in a chemistry lab, he or she gets the explosives handling skill.
* ''Volatile'' explosives can be made by anyone.
* ''Low'' explosives requires Explosives Handling 3 to make.
* ''High'' explosives requires Explosives Handling 5 to make.

These numbers are from a chem lab without any calibration, just low q glassware. (L2 calibration @ handling 5 still produces 2 low explosives on success—Lyo).
* At handling 1 and 2, 1 volatile explosive on success.
* At handling 3, 2 low or volatile explosives on success.
* At handling 4, 2 low or volatile explosives on success.
* At handling 5, 2 high or low or volatile explosives on success.
* At handling 6, 3 high or low or volatile explosives on success.
* At handling 7, 3 high or low or volatile explosives on success.
* At handling 8, 4 high or low or volatile explosives on success.
* At handling 9, 4 high or low or volatile explosives on success.

At handling 1 and 2, the only think you can make is Volatile Explosives, and there are several possible outcomes from an attempt to make VE:
* A VE is made and handling is increased one step
* A VE is made, but handling stays the same
* No VE is made, handling stays the same, and no bad consequences
* No VE is made, handling stays the same, and an explosion occurs that damages all nearby buildings and might possibly destroy one or more glassware in the lab
Expect something like 30 attempts to get handling 2, meaning 60 Set's Compound Extract.

At handling 1, most attempts will fail and result in an explosion with damage, so prepare to spend most of the time waiting for the one minute timer of Structure Repair. Having multiple avatars with repair nearby is a good idea.

At handling 2, most attempts will silently fail to make any VE without any explosions, so expect to spend most of the time waiting for the constitution timer to make more VE. +CON food is a good idea.

== Sources ==
This building becomes available once you have learned the [[Detonation]] tech. To build, click on yourself and choose Projects->Misc->Detonation Box

== Cost ==
* {{Require | 30 | Cut Stone}}
* {{Require | 100 | Concrete}}
* {{Require | 6 | Iron Bars}}

== Use ==
Detonation boxes can hold up to 100 [[Medium Stones]] and up to 20 of any type of [[Explosives]]. After the materials are loaded, the option to 'Detonate Medium Stones with <Explosive>' appears.

Output depends on the type of explosive being used.

100 med stones + 20 low explosives = 2500 gravel [YMMV}

Cinexa: /* Avatar Moss Chart */

{{Item

{{GivesXP | Harvest a deben from an [[Aqueduct Tower]] | Botany | 3}}

=About Moss=
'''Moss''' grows on [[Test of Life|Aqueduct Towers]]. It is used for various [[Research]], but also used in [[Chemistry]] and [[Mutagenics]] and some tests, like in the [[Test of the Humble Priests]] rituals. Moss gets its properties from the tower where it grows, and those might change slightly whenever someone drinks from the tower where they grow.

100 Fuzzy Moss is needed for [[Plantation Headquarters]]. (Can be any type of moss with "Fuzzy" in the name.)

==Moss Growth==

After a tower has been harvested of moss, there is no moss for a while. It will slowly produce one new Moss at a decreasing rate until it reaches 49, then it stops. It starts with 3 minutes for the first moss, then 7, 13, 17, 23, 27 and probably continues like that until 49 moss are present.

Time needed for moss to grow on a harvested tower:

| 35|| 2d3h3m|| 1h27m||Estimated
|-
| 49|| 4d4h3m|| 2h2m||Estimated
|}

==Moss Harvesting==

To harvest moss off of a tower, click on the tower and select "Harvest the moss." Harvesting moss does '''not''' change the tower moss properties, only drinking from the tower does. The moss that grows back from a freshly harvested tower retains all the properties of the just-harvested moss (unless a blessing has altered the stats)

=Types=
Moss can have any of the following attributes:
* Calico
* Crackly
* Dry
* Fuzzy (usually the hardest to attain, please do not drink from a tower with this attribute)
* Green
* Hairy
* Mottled
* Phosphorescent
* Prickly
* Reticulated
* Slimy
* Smelly
* Spongy
* Spotted
* Striped

A moss can have no attributes, and it is then "common" moss, and cannot be harvested.

=Changing Moss Stats=

'''Note: a great deal is still unknown about how the moss system works exactly. Please update this page as more becomes known.'''

All towers begin with the stat "Green", which can be changed when someone blesses (drinks from) an aqueduct. You can bless an aqueduct as much as you want, but a character can only modify any tower attributes once every teppy minute (see Changelog 28/03/2020). When someone blesses a tower, they can add and/or remove one or more attributes. To preserve the attributes of a tower while drinking from it, for example a tower with sought after "Fuzzy" moss, make sure you drink from another tower within 1 teppy minute before.

The effect on moss attributes is avatar specific, not tower specific. When blessing aqueducts, it is helpful to track your changes to understand what your effect is. It is possible to add and remove the same attribute.

Repeated blessings (at least one minute apart) by the same avatar may show additional attributes after many blessings.

==Avatar Moss Chart==
This is a chart to show which avatars affect the various moss attributes. Please add your information below. '
* '''+''' means you've ever added that attribute
* '''-''' you have never added that attribute and have removed it at least once
* '''+/-''' if you have both added and removed the attribute
* Leave blank if you've never added or removed the attribute.
