Unstable Substances

This article is considered accurate for the current version (1.60) of Foxhole.

“	A reinforced barrel of extremely explosive substances required for the deadliest warheads.	„
	— In-game description

Unstable Substances is a late-game Large Material that are only used in the construction of the A0E-9 Rocket Warhead.

Acquisition

Structure	Input(s)	Output	Time
Ammunition Factory (Rocket Battery Workshop)	3 x Flame Ammo  8 x Heavy Explosive Powder  5 MW of power	1 x Unstable Substances	00:30:00

The A0E-9 Rocket Platform must be fully researched in the Weapons and Structure Tech Tree in order to be produced.

Use

Structure	Input(s)	Output	Time
Small Assembly Station (Rocket Manufactory)	75 x Rare Alloys  165 x Unstable Substances  45 x Assembly Materials III  2 MW of power	A0E-9 Rocket Warhead	24:00:00

Storage

It does not stack in inventories (1 per slot). It can be stored in the stockpiles of Bases (32k max), Facilities that produces it (32k), Material Pallets (120), Material Transfer Stations (1000), Rooster - Tumblebox Trailer (32), and Small Flatbed Car (100).
It can be crated (need stack of 1 per crate) and uncrated with the right click context menu while interfacing a Seaport, Storage Depot, or Shipping Container.
Crates of Unstable Substances can be directly submitted to any item stockpile that accepts that item to transfer their content.The crates can also be stored in the crate stockpiles of Storage Depots (1000 public, 100 per Reserve Stockpile), Seaports (1000 public, 100 per Reserve Stockpile), Shipping Containers (60), or Storage Ships (1000).
It can be transported by almost any vehicle with inventory slots, but is most commonly transported by Trucks, Small Flatbed Car, or shipping vehicles carrying Material Pallets. Delivering it in crate form is possible but extremely inefficient.

Tips

• Due to this item only being used in the construction of the A0E-9 Rocket Warhead, it is not recommended to make them if you or your group is not planning on making/launching them.
  • Despite its limited usage, due to the cost and sheer volume of materials needed to construct a single A0E-9 Rocket Warhead (as well as the other A0E-9 Rocket Parts), it is highly recommended to coordinate with other facilities to maximize the production of their necessary components.
• If your group is planning on producing them, it is highly recommended to produce a ton of Flame Ammo in advance, as it will drastically reduce production times.
  • One Flame Ammo takes 25 seconds to produce, and since it takes three Flame Ammo per Unstable Substances, players will need 495 Flame Ammo to produce all the necessary Unstable Substances.
  • (25 sec)•(495 Flame Ammo) = 12,375 seconds•(1 min/60 sec) = 206.25 minutes•(1 hr/60 min) = 3.4375 hours

Trivia

• Unstable Substances are the first item in the game that converts a type of Ammunition into an intermediate material, which are later used in the final product.
