A raw material, also known as a feedstock, unprocessed material, or primary commodity, is a basic material that is used to produce goods, finished products, energy, or intermediate materials that are feedstock for future finished products. As feedstock, the term connotes these materials are bottleneck assets and are required to produce other products.
Role on Wikiciv
Raw materials are the basic building blocks from which technologies are made. All technologies on Wikiciv should documented in such a way that after following all the parent technologies, the only required inputs are raw materials or energy. Recycled materials can be included as useful shortcuts for when they are available, but only as a supplement to a raw material method.
