Flux

Flux is a type of crafting component or consumable in Fallout 76.

Characteristics
Raw flux is harvested from flora which have mutated as a result of being in a nuclear blast zone. In its raw form, this flux is consumable and provides water for the player character. Before it can be used in crafting, the raw flux must be stabilized at a chemistry station by combining it with a glowing mass, hardened mass and high-radiation fluids which can be found on the bodies of creatures in the blast zone.

There are five color varieties of flux which can be collected from different plants:
 * Raw cobalt flux (stabilized)
 * Raw crimson flux (stabilized)
 * Raw fluorescent flux (stabilized)
 * Raw violet flux (stabilized)
 * Raw yellowcake flux (stabilized)

Raw flux will deteriorate over time, eventually turning into inert flux. Once the flux becomes inert, it can no longer be stabilized.

Locations

 * Raw flux is harvested from irradiated vegetation and flora within a nuclear blast zone.
 * Stable flux may be rewarded for completing Scorched Earth. It may also be crafted at any chemistry station by stabilizing raw flux with the appropriate ingredients.
 * Inert flux is obtained after raw flux decays in the player character's inventory.
