Olivine is a gem that can be obtained by using a [[Trommel]]. The blocks that can give olivine from trommelling are gravel, dirt, path block, scorched dirt, rich scorched dirt, grass, retro grass, and sand. Crafting recipes it can be used in are the [[Olivine Block]] and [[Tinted Glass]]

'''Olivine''' is a olive-green silicate mineral that is found by processing other blocks. The high crystallization point of olivine allows it to be used as cheap fuel in [[Blast Furnace|blast furnaces]], and the stone's vitreous luster enables it to block light from passing through it.

== Usage ==
=== Fuel ===
Olivine can be used as fuel in a [[blast furnace]] to smelt 2 items. It does ''not'' work in regular [[Furnace|furnaces]].

== Trivia ==
* Since olivine smelts two items per piece, it can be used to very slowly create infinite [[blast furnace]] fuel, provided the player has constructed a [[basalt]] generator.
* In the real world, olivine is one of the minerals that comprises darker, more iron-and-magnesium-rich "mafic" stones, hence why it yields from smelting down [[basalt]] (a mafic stone) in a  [[blast furnace]].
* While olivine ''does'' catch fire at incredibly high temperatures in the real world, this attribute does not lend it to being used as fuel much. Its fuel properties in [[Better than Adventure!|BTA!]] are somewhat of an artistic liberty taken in favor of providing more interesting mechanics and a tradeoff with fuels on the [[blast furnace]] tier.
* Olivine's texture is similar to [https://terraria.wiki.gg/wiki/Etherian_Mana Etherian Mana], an item from ''Terraria''. It also looks like [https://sims.fandom.com/wiki/Plumbob Plumbob] from ''The Sims'' series.
