Fluids
Ascendant Technology uses fluids as real progression tools, not just storage curiosities. Some keep unstable materials under control, some power high-end duplication, and some exist purely to push machines harder.
Temporary visual: dedicated fluid renders are not available yet, so this page currently uses filled capsule icons as placeholders.
Cryofluid

Cooling utility fluid made in the Cryo Chamber. Used for stabilization, improved Steam production, and higher-end factory support.
Liquified Aetherium

Precision fluid made from Aetherium itself. Important for Catalyst Weaver conversions and duplication-focused machinery.
Dark Matter

Heavy late-game liquid with multiple production routes. Used in deep refinement and singularity-grade processing.
Steam

Factory boost fluid created in the Vaporworks Processor. Already used to speed up several superior-machine processing lines.
