Phanta Pill
The Phanta Pill is a cheap synthetic opioid. It has a base value of 12 credits and is High-Level contraband, the category where a Security inspection seizes the item, fines you the base value of what it finds and, if you cannot pay, arrests you. You make it in the Chem Finisher from 0.5 ml of dry Phanta.

How do I make a Phanta Pill?
- Make Phanta. The code produces the liquid Phanta when N-Methylol Base and Reducing Agent are heated together at 110 to 130 degrees C. Between 110 and 120 C the reaction is slow (2.5% of the reactable amount per tick, at least 1 ml); between 120 and 130 C it is much faster (15%). Each unit of N-Methylol Base that reacts uses 0.75 units of Reducing Agent and gives 0.1 units of Phanta.
- Neutralize the stabilizer. Only N-Methylol Base above the Stabilizing Agent level reacts. The Restricted chemical bottles contain equal parts of both, so the Stabilizing Agent has to be reduced first; in the code, Acid or Base in the same container neutralizes it into Debris.
- Do not overheat. At 130 C and above, Phanta in the container is destroyed at 2% per tick.
- Dry it. Evaporate overnight so no water or alcohol is left; the Chem Finisher refuses a wet container.
- Finish. Choose the Phanta Pill recipe in the Chem Finisher and press Output. It needs at least 0.5 ml of residue.
A Heating Plate without Chemical Equipment Modules is fixed at 99 C and cannot reach this window. See the chemistry guide for plate upgrades. The exact steps for balancing the stabilizer were not tested in play, so treat step 2 as a reading of the code.
Purity
Purity is the Phanta share of the pill’s volume and varies from batch to batch. Pills found in stock are generated in the 60-80% range (“Street Standard”); example value 73.4%. Clients buying narcotics never accept Junk or Starch Grade. See the grade table in the chemistry guide.
Where else can I get it?
- Security Department Evidence Locker. The locker rolls four separate chances (50% each, scaled by the locker’s luck) to contain one Phanta Pill.
- No shop in the 0.46D files was found selling it directly.
FAQ
Is Phanta the same as Fanta? No. The in-game name is Phanta, and the pill is a narcotic.
Is it legal to keep in the shop? No, it is High-Level contraband. Hide it in a Smuggler’s Bay.
Does it work with the Underground Exchange? The exchange lists do not use Phanta Pills; see the exchange guide.
