Liquid
Liquids are gatherable resources found on all planet types. Each liquid has a unique gimmick, varying in their hindrance and contribution to the player. Most liquids can be used in crafting, while fuelable liquids can serve as fuel.
Matter Manipulator can gather liquids and stack units of liquid as items in inventory. Gathering liquids needs the Matter Manipulator's liquid Expansion Slot. To place liquids, one needs background tiles in addition to foreground blocks, otherwise the liquid will flow 'out' through the back and disappear. Some tiles with visible gaps like Metal Bars and Wicker Support Blocks will still let liquids flow through.

Unobtainable liquids
There also exists an unobtainable variant of Lava internally known as Core Lava at the core of most Planets. Unlike normal lava, Core Lava cannot be converted to Magmarock, and it will evaporate any liquid that cannot usually be converted to lava.
Slime has an unobtainable and unused variant, 'jellyliquid'. Jelly behaves the same and even provides Slime when collected, though it glows green and has a texture similar to Jelly Blob blocks.

If a very small amount of a liquid is added to a much larger body of a different liquid, it may increase the quantity of the larger liquid rather than creating the expected reaction. This can can be used to make infinite liquid duplicators on oceanic worlds, which are most often used for Liquid Erchius Fuel. |
