Description

Iodine Tablet is a consumable Industrial Craft 2 item that significantly reduces the damage done by radiation poisoning (a harmful effect that drains health). Right-clicking an Iodine Tablet held in the hotbar applies the effect, so neither a machine nor a menu is involved. The crafting recipe is shapeless: one Tin and one Iodine placed anywhere on the crafting grid produce one Iodine Tablet. The Iodine ingredient is produced in the Extractor machine, which adds one processing step before the crafting table.

Iodine Tablet does not completely eliminate radiation poisoning: the remaining damage stays survivable only while the player also eats food and regenerates health normally. Carry several Iodine Tablets in the hotbar together with food before facing a radiation risk. Damage reduction is the Iodine Tablet's job, while health recovery stays the food's job — a tablet never replaces eating.

Guide

How to Craft and Use Iodine Tablet in Industrial Craft 2

  1. 1

    Gather one Tin and one Iodine

    One Tin and one Iodine cover the ingredient list. Iodine is produced in the Extractor machine, so that processing step comes first.

  2. 2

    Craft the shapeless recipe

    The Tin and the Iodine go anywhere on the crafting grid, because the recipe has no fixed shape, and the output is one Iodine Tablet.

  3. 3

    Move the tablet to the hotbar

    The Iodine Tablet belongs in the hotbar, since the consumable is used directly from that bar.

  4. 4

    Take the tablet with a right-click

    A right-click on the Iodine Tablet in the hotbar applies the radiation damage reduction.

  5. 5

    Keep eating food

    Food handles the recovery after the dose. The Iodine Tablet only reduces damage and cannot replace health regeneration from eating.

The tablet is not a full cure

Iodine Tablet significantly reduces radiation poisoning damage yet never removes the effect completely, so pair every dose with food.
