Elements
This list contains all the basic reagents used to make other chemicals.
| Reagent | Group | Description | Effects | Thresholds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| aluminium | Elements | A silver, soft, non-magnetic, and ductile metal. | — | Safe |
| carbon | Elements | A black, crystalline solid. | — | Safe |
| chlorine | Elements | A yellow-green gas. Causes poison damage on bloodstream contact and rapidly kills plants, dehydrating and poisoning them. |

| Toxic |
| copper | Elements | A soft, malleable, and ductile metal with very high thermal and electrical conductivity. Replenishes blood in arachnids, but is mildly toxic to most other species. |
| Toxic |
| fluorine | Elements | A highly toxic pale yellow gas. Extremely reactive. Inflicts both caustic and poison damage on contact with the bloodstream, and quickly poisons plants. |

| Toxic |
| gold | Elements | Gold is a dense, soft, shiny metal and the most malleable and ductile metal known. | — | Safe |
| hydrogen | Elements | A light, flammable gas. | — | Safe |
| iodine | Elements | Commonly added to table salt as a nutrient. On its own it tastes far less pleasing. | — | Safe |
| iron | Elements | A silvery-grey metal which forms iron oxides (rust) with contact with air. Commonly alloyed with other elements to create alloys such as steel. Replenishes blood in most species, but is mildly toxic to arachnids. |
| Toxic |
| lithium | Elements | A soft, silvery-white alkali metal. It's highly reactive, and ignites if it makes contact with water. Mildly toxic when ingested, and prone to trigger sudden fits of laughter or screaming. |
| Toxic |
| mercury | Elements | A silver metal which is liquid at room temperature. It's highly toxic and scrambles the speech of anyone unfortunate enough to have it in their bloodstream. |
| Toxic |
| phosphorus | Elements | A reactive metal used in pyrotechnics and weapons. Also acts as a mild plant fertiliser and weedkiller when applied to hydroponics trays. | — leaf
| Safe |
| potassium | Elements | A soft, shiny grey metal. Even more reactive than lithium. | — | Safe |
| radium | Elements | A radioactive metal, silvery-white in its pure form. It glows due to its radioactivity, irradiates anyone it contacts, and mutates or kills plants outright. | — | Safe |
| silicon | Elements | A hard and brittle crystalline solid with a blue-grey color. Moderately toxic if ingested. |
| Toxic |
| silver | Elements | A soft, white, lustrous transition metal, it has the highest electrical conductivity of any element and the highest thermal conductivity of any metal. | — | Safe |
| sodium | Elements | A silvery-white alkali metal. Highly reactive in its pure form. | — | Safe |
| sulfur | Elements | A yellow, crystalline solid. Causes minor caustic damage if metabolized. |
| Toxic |
| uranium | Elements | A grey metallic chemical element in the actinide series. Strongly radioactive in reagent form — irradiates anyone it contacts, and mutates or kills plants outright. |

| Toxic |
| zinc | Elements | A silvery, brittle metal, often used in batteries to carry charge. | — | Safe |
