Stars are the individual sparks and streamers that make up a fireworks display. They are crafted in a Star Rack according to recipes taught at Universities of Art and Music.

Max Batch size is 100.

• All stars need a binder:
  • Beeswax - for Comet and Ball-type stars, which diffuse in 'pulses'.
  • Cactus Sap - for Comet, Ball, and Line-type stars, all of which diffuse in either pulses or as a straight line.
  • Clay - for 'popper' stars, which diffuse all in one burst at the end of their fire.
  • Tar - for 'sparkler' stars, which diffuse in sparks throughout their runs.
• All stars need some quantity of Sulfur and Charcoal.
• All stars need some variety of Metal Salts.
• Some stars also need Aluminum Powder.

Use

Stars are used in the Test of Pyrotechnics

Available Recipes

Every UArt where Pyrotechnic Mortar Construction is unlocked can teach the two basic star recipes, Flying Frog and Squat Canary. New stars can be designed using a Portable Star Lab; the lab is then turned in to a UArt, enabling the recipe for a new star to be available from that UArt.

To open new star recipes, please see Portable Star Lab.

For this table, please use the cost of producing a batch of TEN (10) Stars

For Star Type, please use one of the following:

• Pulsing - these have a strong glow on the first star, and usually leave a simple trail. There is considerable variability in the size of the star, and the length of the trail. The basic frog and canary designs are this type.
• Cone (comets) - Have a strong glow at the front, and diffuse into a short 'cone' shape.
• Bomb (poppers) - These are often hard to see, since they fly their lifetime unignited, and then explode at the end. Single poppers are useful as near-invisible platforms for delivering other stars, while showers of many poppers can be an impressive finale.
• Trail ("Thin Red Line") - Long thin trails of light, often used for spirals and geometric shapes.
• Sparkler - These are typically crowd favorites. They leave a shower of sparks as a trail, usually but not always in the same color as the head of the star.
