Tiberium

Tiberium is a crystalline substance that can be found on all planetary bodies within the Chillout Tiberium system. Tiberium is highly radioactive and can harm engineers without adequate protection. Tiberium usually form in the form of high density crystals growing from the tiberium contaminated soil.

Both are mineable, but crystals yield much more tiberium ore than the soil itself.

Tiberium grows in two varieties, Green and blue. Blue tiberium yields about 2x the amount of ore.



Basic refining
Tiberium can be processed into ingots in the standard refineries. These ingots are then used to produce tiberium plates and tiberium infused armor.

Survival kit refinement
Tiberium can be used to produce cobalt and magnesium in the survival kit, giving engineers access to harder to obtainr esources.

Tiberium refining
Refining tiberium in the specialized Tiberium refinery yields all other ingots, making tiberium the universal resource. Tiberium always yields 50% of what certain ore would yield.

Tiberium fluid refining
Liquid tiberium is dedicated NOD technology. It is produced by tiberifluid generators, stored in tiberifluid tanks and consumed by tiberifluid thrusters and tiberifluid engines. Tiberifluid technology more power efficient than hydrogen or uranium, but can be hard to process in sufficient quantities.
