Cement

In order to be usable it needs to be reinforced.

Notes

Cement is a loose industrial powder that must be reinforced before it is structurally useful. It is produced by processing raw materials and serves primarily as a component for advanced building blocks like Ashlar stone variants, Reinforced Concrete, Asphalt Concrete, and certain high-end industrial machines. A practical tip: since cement itself cannot be used directly in construction, plan to either combine it with steel or fiber reinforcement or sell it in bulk to builders who are ready to produce concrete or stone blocks for high-tier town upgrades.
