Basic Information
There are many explosives you in ballistix and you will find all of these below. The block versions of these can be seen on the image to the right.
Tiers
All of the explosives in Ballistix have a tier and currently there are four such tiers. Each tier has a separate color scheme. Tier one is green, tier two is red, tier three is blue and tier four is black.
Some explosives have different forms. Tier 1 explosives can be blocks or grenades. Tier 2 and higher can only be found in block varieties. In order to use them all for missiles, you simply place the block type into the launcher platform as explained on the Missile Silos page.
Most explosives require other, lower grade explosives on order to craft them. In order to find these recipes, please use a mod like Just Enough Items or something similiar.

Fuse: 5 ticks (1/4 secs)
Thermobaric Explosives
The Thermobaric Explosives incinerate everything in their blast radius, which is about 20 blocks, and also damage entities within twice that radius by alot. They are also used to make Nuclear Explosives. In order to stop these kinds of explosives and stronger, one must use alot of obsidian, or the different types of concrete from the blastcraft mod.
Fuse: 100 ticks (5 secs)
Tier 3
Nuclear Explosives
The Nuclear Explosives are very powerful tier 3 explosives, which will cause a large mushroom cloud to appear, and blow up anything within a large radius. It will create a shockwave, and will also irradiate a large area far greater than the direct explosion radius itself.
Fuse: 200 ticks (10 secs)
EMP Explosives
The EMP Explosives will remove all stored electricity and or break all electric devices within a radius of 45 blocks.
Fuse: 80 ticks (4 secs)
Tier 4
Antimatter Explosives
An Antimatter Explosive will destroy anything within a radius of 45 blocks and will kill anything within twice that radius. It is the first of the tier 4 explosives and cannot be halted by any protective block. Thus you must shoot these missiles down in order to save and protect your base.
Fuse: 400 ticks (20 secs)
Large Antimatter Explosives
A Large Antimatter Explosive will destroy anything within a radius of 100 blocks and will kill anything within twice that radius. It is the first of the tier 4 explosives and cannot be halted by any protective block. Thus you must shoot these missiles down in order to save and protect your base.
Fuse: 600 ticks (30 secs)
Darkmatter Explosives
The Darkmatter Explosives are the most difficult to make and the most dangerous explosive in the game, only comparable to the large antimatter explosive. Upon detonation, a black cube (black hole) will spawn and destroy anything within a radius of 50 blocks. This does however not happen instantaneously, and will slowly occur over 1 minute, while sucking in any mob and entity within twice that radius. The only way to stop this process is with an antimatter explosives.
Fuse: 400 ticks (20 secs)
