==== 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 machinery. With it's incredible reproductive power it can convert any other metal into more of itself. The secrets of high-grade nanotechne and the making and growing of it is a closely guarded secret by those who have such technologies. It is universally used for weapons and armor, regardless of what type it is (with the exception of C-Grade, which is a cheaper type that more complex varieties build off of).

Nanotechne (pronounced 'tek-nee') is metal infused with symbiotic nanomachines that allow the wielder to shape it into a variety of useful forms, from the humble metal plate to complex machinery. It is used for transcendence programs where the users make tablets, which they then use as a base material for something else, or to be directly used to some benefit. Nanotechne can be found throughout the megastructure in varying densities, so most civilizations will mine out a small amount to start, then begin feeding their stock with other metals to "breed" more Nanotechne. The deeper down into the megastructure one burrows, the greater the density with which Nanotechne will appear, although so too will the horrors that guard 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.
 
 
 
* '''C-grade''' is used by everyone for many purposes, but is too weak to be used as weapons or armor
 
* '''M-grade''' is used as weapons and armor by most nations, and is equivalent to steel in terms of durability.
 
* '''A-grade''' is also used by most human nations, but is stronger than M-grade. However, it can only be made into weapons and bullets due the difficulty of working it.
 
* '''K and X grades''' are used by Nobles and Neo-Humans/Executors respectively and have a white and black coloration respectively. They are equivalent to A-grade but can also be used to make armor.
 
* '''Grade-N''' Nanotechne is equivalent to A-grade, can be used for anything, and has a charcoal-colored appearance with an organic, giger-esque motif.
 
* '''Grade-S''' Nanotechne makes up the internals of multiple creatures, resembling synthetic muscle and organ. It stiffens when struck, but is overall weak and only useful for complex machinery rather than arms and armor. Valuable though.
 
 
 
<del>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.</del> As of ver. 2.6, nanotechne production was altered to only permit raw corroded metal boulders as reagents in the production of either C or N grades. All other grades are produced using C, except S which can only be harvested.<br>

Each characteristic is further broken down to form a series of setpoints:

Nanotechne[edit]

Nanotechne (pronounced 'tek-nee') is metal infused with symbiotic nanomachines that allow the wielder to shape it into a variety of useful forms, from the humble metal plate to complex machinery. It is used for transcendence programs where the users make tablets, which they then use as a base material for something else, or to be directly used to some benefit. Nanotechne can be found throughout the megastructure in varying densities, so most civilizations will mine out a small amount to start, then begin feeding their stock with other metals to "breed" more Nanotechne. The deeper down into the megastructure one burrows, the greater the density with which Nanotechne will appear, although so too will the horrors that guard it.

In addition to mining Nanotechne or "breeding" it, the material can also be acquired by butchering any creature with metal parts.
