So you've been assigned to janitor duty, eh? Here's a task, go to the reactors and remove that dense lava stuff from under the reactor. My Nano-chisel won't even leave a mark on it!

— The Janitor

Corium is an unbreakable ore that generates inside the Abandoned Lab structure in the Reactor room. The block version of Corium inflicts heavy radiation poisoning to the player, with it being able to pierce HEV Suit in an 8 tile radius and Hazmat Suits in a 20 tile radius. Additionally, holding the item version will cause an even stronger Radiation gain at 100% per second.

Trivia

• In real life, Corium is a mass of molten, extremely radioactive metal formed within nuclear reactor meltdowns, as to why it only generates in the Reactor Room of the abandoned lab.

History

• 0.8.0.4033:
