Base is a corrosive alkaline liquid which neutralizes acid. Base stores its concentration in .life, ranging from 1 to 100, and the elements base can engage with depend on the concentration. The concentration can be reduced by reacting base with something or diluting it. The concentration can be increased by boiling.

Creation

Base can be produced from distilled water and smoke with 1/100 chance, if their temperatures are between 40°C and 60°C:

DSTW + SMKEBASE

Reactions

If base's temperature is above 120°C and pressure is below 10, then it has a small chance to boil into BOYL or increase its concentration:

BASEBOYL

If you are starting with N pixels of base with concentration 1, after boiling the whole amount you are expected to get about N/100 pixels of base with concentration 100.

Base can be diluted with water, distilled water and carbonated water, lowering its concentration:

BASE + WATR/DSTW/BUBWBASE

Base freezes below -0.25°C, the precise freezing temperature getting lower as the concentration gets higher, reaching -25°C when fully concentrated:

BASEICE

When base unfreezes, its concentration is reset to 1.

If base's concentration is at least 10, it rusts conductive solids, such as metal, into breakable metal:

BASE + METL/GOLD/etc → BMTL

If base's life is larger than 2 times an element's hardness, then base can dissolve it. The speed is inversely proportional to hardness, i.e. if acid dissolves a substance faster, then base will dissolve it slower. Both dissolving and rusting decrease base's concentration.

Base does not dissolve salt, salt water, BOYL, mercury, breakable metal and broken metal, soap, various types of clone, and also ice and snow with ctype BASE. Base is also immune to virus, but may dissolve it.

Base neutralizes acid and caustic gas if it has higher concentration:

BASE + ACID → 2×SLTW

BASE + CAUSSLTW

With concentration at least 70, base creates soap with oil:

BASE + OILSOAP

With concentration at least 2, base creates gel from goo:

BASE + GOOGEL

Similarly, with concentration at least 2, base creates gunpowder from broken coal:

BASE + BCOLGUN

Base has a 1/1000 chance of creating mercury from molten rock under 10 pressure:

BASE + ROCKMERC

Neutrons turn base into liquid rubidium with 1/35 chance at temperature above 50°C:

BASE + NEUTLRBD
