Nanotechne

Nanotechne (last part pronounced 'tek-nee') is metal infused with symbiotic nanomachines that let the wielder shape it into a variety of useful forms, from simple plates of metal to complex machinary. Its is used for transcendense programs where the users make tablets wich one they use to transform in something else or for adquire some perk. Nanotechne can be found to higher or lower densities in the megastructure, so, most of civilizations smelts the boulder left behind the mining to found a bit of nanotechne to breed it by feeding it with the various metals found underground. But deeper you go, the more dense is the nanotechne and the multiple horrors who lure around it.

In addition to producing it by feeding it metal, you can also scavenge it by butchering mechanical creatures, which will yield blocks of nanotechne or other metals. Any creature with metal body parts should suffice.

Note that nanotechne can be produced from any type of metal, so if you don't pay attention your citizens will use nanotechne to make more nanotechne, which actually reduces the amount you have. Make sure you properly designate what metal you intend to make nanotechne from.
