Essentia Obscura

Essentia Obscura is a liquid that inflicts Insanity on players who try to swim in it. It exists as puddles in Elder biomes, and some monsters pour this liquid when they are defeated. It can be obtained in unlimited quantities using Infinite mixing on Atropus Sea worlds and extracted for very useful resources (Note that this liquid can't be mixed in the environment, but only in a Liquid Mixer).

It is also an average fertilizer for Trays. Using it as fertilizer might be suboptimal, because its Fertilizer bonuses are exactly the same as those of Organic Soup, which is much easier to produce.

Trivia

 * Any mixing recipes with Essentia Obscura are shown as "??? & ??? = ???" in the Lab Directory. Essentially, they are obscured.
 * Pus and Essentia Obscura don't mix in-world (only in a Liquid Mixer). This prevents puddles/lakes of Essentia Obscura from appearing in biomes with Fleshleech monsters (they pour Essentia Obscura when defeated), as these biomes often have lakes/puddles of Pus.
