Bittergem

is an extremely rare bonus resource. When extracted and deposited into the M.U.L.E, it can provide between 1000 - 1500 Bittergem units, which is translated to bonus credits, very similarly to Gold. It is a heavy object and must be picked up and carried by hand, or via Bosco. When carrying it, a dwarf cannot do anything but throw flares / throwables, ride ziplines, and move with a 25% speed penalty (Sprinting is also disabled). It can be dropped by switching weapons or using the Laser Pointer, it can also be thrown far away by holding the [FIRE] key ("Left Mouse Click" by default) before releasing it.

Its only use is to provide a large amount of bonuses to Credits. Each unit of Bittergem is worth 1 Credit (total hazard bonus not included).

Appearance
Bittergem is a large glowing bright pink chunk of crystal. It uses the same model as Aquarq, Compressed Gold, and Jadiz.

The area that the crystal is buried in is dotted by small bright pink crystals and a pink glow, similar to other large resources hidden within the walls.

Locations
Bittergem can be found in any environment and mission type, albeit very rarely, being generated with a 1 in 21 chance.

Trivia

 * In the Closed Alpha, Bittergem was colored pale yellow.
