Stone Blocks can be used not only to make the same walls and fences as Wood and Steel, but also Stone Tile floors for more beautified indoor areas and flagstones for beauty-neutral, movement-efficient outdoor floors. ** Stone Blocks: Converted from stone chunks, which themselves are drawn from the environment or mined. *** Plasteel: Exceedingly rare and expensive, this material is a component of bionic body parts, advanced components and most late and end-game structures and craftable items.

*** Uranium: An extremely hard and dense metal useful for building hardy external walls, heavy armour-piercing blunt weapons, late-game SpaceMarine armour and endgame ship's parts. Gold is also a prime component of late-game furniture, Advanced Components and certain endgame structures on ships to leave the planet. *** Gold: A secondary trade resource, its high value is useful when trading for expensive items. Silver is used in place of money when trading, but is also useful for making Sterile Tiles that assist with cleanliness in hospitals and Research rooms. *** Silver: The game's central trade resource. Steel is also useful for late-game colonies to convert into Components if they run short of them. Most guns require Steel in their construction. It can also be used in floors, with Concrete, Clean Tiles, Steel Tiles and Sterile Tiles all requiring at least a little Steel to use. Used in the construction of power generators and electric wiring. Their wide variety of uses means they're a central component of the colony at any time of the game.

** Metal: Metal is generally gathered from metal deposits in rock formations or underground by miners. Wood is a very easy to work with, neutral to look at substance and a primary ingredient of Neolithic technology and weapons, but also weak and highly flammable which reduces how much use it can be post-early game. Some of the most important include: ** Lumber: Wood is primarily harvested from trees and cacti, though ''Ideology'' adds two other ways - the non-edible crop fibrecorn and Woodmaker Dryads - to get it without damaging trees, since some Memes forbid cutting down trees. All the game's central mechanics - construction, crafting, cooking and electrical power management - involve resources gathered in various ways, including trade. * YouRequireMoreVespeneGas: Resource management is a central challenge of the game, especially from a storage standpoint since resources that don't get properly stored and/or refrigerated in some cases will rot away into nothingness.
