Biological Material
"Materials consisting of organic material. Includes wood, industrial crops, microbes, and livestock waste. Required for developing and using ammo, support weapons, and consumable items, and for expanding base facilities. Since these materials are unprocessed, they must be processed by the Base Development Unit before they can be put to practical use."
