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.
