What It's For

what the game files don't say

Cementing Paste feedstock, and the base of Chitin armour.

  • Interchangeable with KeratinRecipes ask for 'Chitin/Keratin' and take either. Cementing Paste — and therefore Polymer, Metal structures and most of the mid-game — runs on it.
  • Chitin armourThe cheap step up from Hide: better protection, and it keeps you warm rather than cool, which decides where it is worth wearing.
