Resources

Players of *Space Haven* will have to use **resources** to build the ship, keep all systems running, provide for the crew members, and ensure the journey through space continues.

## Basic Resources

* **Energium** - Exotic crystals humming with latent energy. Can be refined into energy rods to power the ship.
* **Hyperium** - Exotic crystals that distort the spacetime around them. Can be refined into Hyperfuel to enable FTL travel.
* **Ice** - Water ice from comets and asteroids, full of volatile compounds. Must be refined into usable water.
* **Carbon** - Used by the CO2 regulator to produce Carbon Dioxide, which is essential for plant growth.
* **Base Metals** - Metals that oxidize, such as iron, aluminum, and titanium. Can be refined into useful items.
* **Noble Metals** - Metals that do not oxidize, such as gold, platinum, and iridium. Currently used to create electronic components
* **Raw Chemicals** - Non-metallic elements and volatile compounds, such as sulfur, silicon, and methane. Refines to Chemicals that have multiple useful applications.

## Intermediate industrial products

* **Steel Plate** - Used in many of the basic construction blocks.
* **Fabric** - Fabric is made from fibers that have been spun into threads and then woven or knit together into cloth. Great commercial product that can be sold for good profit.
* **Fibers** - Used to create fabrics.
* **Electronics Component** - Computer chips and circuit boards, used for assembling components and blocks.
* **Optronics Component** - Used to produce TechBlocks.
* **Quantronics Component** - Currently (The alpha 10 release) cannot be produced or used in any way.

## Construction materials

* **Building Tools** - Tools used by the crew to construct nearly all buildings.
* **Hull Block** - Used by pods to expand the ship's hull. A single block builds multiple tiles.
* **Infrablock** - Basic construction component, used to assemble simple facilities.
* **Tech Block** - High-tech construction component, used for assembling ship facilities.
* **Energy Block** - Energy-based building component used to assemble high-tech facilities.
* **Super Block** - Most advanced building component, used to assemble the very finest facilities.
* **Soft Block** - Building component used to assemble furniture.

## Scrap

Scrap materials from salvaging a spaceship. Can be transformed to blocks and other materials in a Recycler.

* **Hull Scrap** - Hull Block every 4 Scraps.
* **Infra Scrap** - Infrablock every 2 Scraps.
* **Tech Scrap** - InfraBlock every 3 Scraps. Electronics Component every 4 Scraps.
* **Energy Scrap** - InfraBlock every 3 Scraps. Energium every 6 Scraps.
* **Soft Scrap** - Soft Blocks every 2 Scraps.

## Food

* **Artificial Meat** - Meat that can be artificially grown under the right circumstances. Provides a good source of protein and fat for humans and helps them stay strong and healthy.
* **Fruits** - Fruit is naturally high in fibre, which helps humans maintain a healthy bowel function. It also contains powerful antioxidants, and helps prevent tissue damage from free radicals.
* **Root Vegetables** - Root vegetables are underground plant parts eaten by humans as food. Low in calories and high in antioxidants, each one contains a good dose of vitamins and minerals. Eating a variety of them is good for the health of humans.
* **Nuts and Seeds** - Nuts and seeds are good sources of healthy fats, fibre, vitamins and minerals.
* **Processed Food** - Raw food that has been processed and cooked into a complete meal.
* **Space Food** - Space food is specially formulated to provide complete and balanced nutrition for individuals working in space while being easy and safe to store, prepare and consume.
* **Bio Matter** - A byproduct produced from growing food, can be used in the composter to get water and small amounts of carbon and fertilizer.
* **Monster Meat** - The meat of an alien creature, can be harvested from dead alien creatures. Eat it at your own risk.
* **Human Meat** - The meat of a human, can be harvested from dead human corpses. May cause disgust, depending on who is eating.

## Corpses

* **Human Corpse** - A Human corpse, can be used in the composter for water and small amounts of raw chemicals and carbon. There are two types: normal and crew corpses.
* **Android Corpse** - A Android corpse, can be dismantled at the Robotic Workbench.
* **Robot Rubble** - A destroyed Logistic or Salvage robot, can be dismantled at the Robotic Workbench.
* **Hauler Corpse** - A Hauler corpse, can be used in the composter for water and small amounts of chemicals and carbon.
* **Crawler Corpse** - A Crawler corpse, can be used in the composter for water and small amounts of chemicals and carbon.

## Ship

* **Energy Rod** - Crystalline rod humming with stored energy. Used by core module to power the ship.
* **Hyperfuel** - Refined hyperium fuel, necessary for faster-than-light travel. Used by hyperdrive to enable hyperspace jumps.
* **Water** - H2O is vital to human and plant life. Used by growbeds and life support to provide oxygen and food.

## Medical

* **Medical Supplies** - Used by doctors at medical beds to heal patients more effectively.
* **IV Fluid** - Intravenous fluids. Includes all the nutrients needed for the patient.
