Cellulose Fiber

Created by taking pulped plants and extruding them similarly to synthetic fibers.

Notes

Cellulose Fiber is an ingredient and product created by pulping plants and extruding the resulting material into fibers. It is used in crafting a wide range of items, including backpacks, camouflage clothing, paper, carpets, and the Wooden Elevator. Because it is a common component in many mid-game recipes, keeping a steady supply of Cellulose Fiber available in town stores can help prevent production bottlenecks for other players.
