Carbon is a resource added in Space Age. It is an intermediate product that takes a variety of roles across different surfaces, and when present, it is often critical to a core process in the new environment.
In space, carbon is created by crushers processing carbonic asteroid chunks, and is used in both recipes for thruster fuel.
On Vulcanus, it is mainly crafted from coal and sulfuric acid, but can also be found when destroying ashland trees. It is an ingredient in tungsten carbide.
On Gleba, it is made from spoilage in biochambers. It is an ingredient in carbon fiber.
Carbon is also useful in coal synthesis. As neither Gleba nor space platforms have natural access to coal, synthesizing it is the only way to produce explosives.
