This is also worse than lava, except cold. You yeti.
Gelid cryotheum is the ice elemental fluid. It is obtained by melting cryotheum dust in a magma crucible.
Obtaining
Magma Crucible
| Result(s) | Ingredients | Energy | Magma Crucible recipe |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gelid Cryotheum (250 mB) | Cryotheum Dust | 8,000 RF |
Fluid Transposer
| Result(s) | Ingredients | Energy | Fluid Transposer recipe |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gelid Cryotheum (1,000 mB) Bucket | Gelid Cryotheum Bucket | 400 RF |
Usage
Gelid cryotheum can be placed as a block using a bucket.
Flow
The way gelid cryotheum flows is similar to lava. Cryotheum source blocks will also gradually fall downwards if there are no blocks below them.
Effects
Most entities that touch gelid cryotheum take 2 damage every half-second.
Gelid cryotheum has the following effects on certain blocks and mobs:
- adjacent blocks are covered with snow layers;
- grass blocks are turned into dirt;
- water source blocks are turned into ice;
- flowing water is turned into snow;
- lava source blocks are turned into obsidian;
- flowing lava is turned into stone;
- grass and leaves are instantly destroyed;
- fire is extinguished;
- energized glowstone source blocks are turned into glowstone;
- zombies and creepers are turned into snow golems;
- blazes take 10 damage instead of 2;
- snow golems and blizzes are given the effects Speed I and Regeneration I for 6 seconds.

| Cryo-Stabilized Fluxduct | Cryo-Stabilized Fluxduct (Empty) + Gelid Cryotheum (500 mB) | 4,000 RF |
If another mod registers a cinnabar ore block, it can be processed into 2 pieces of cinnabar using 200 mB of gelid cryotheum and 2,000 RF.
Reactant Dynamo fuel
When used together with pyrotheum dust as fuel in a reactant dynamo, 100 mB of gelid cryotheum yields 400,000 RF, or 500,000 RF if an elemental catalyzer is installed.
Coolant
Gelid cryotheum is a very effective coolant. It is 3 times as effective and lasts 12 times as long as water.
