Carbon Nanotubes is a component.

Summary

Carbon Nanotubes is a component that is used for crafting.

Game description

Metres and metres of high capacity carbon nanotubes.

Their high tensile strength and mild conductivity make these a key component in many advanced technologies.

Source

Available from some Galactic Trade Terminals.

Carbon Nanotubes can be built using a blueprint and the following ingredients:

• Carbon ×50  →   Carbon Nanotubes

Carbon Nanotubes can be cooked using a Nutrient Processor with the following ingredients:

• Chewy Wires x1  →   Carbon Nanotubes x1  ("NOT RECOMMENDED", 2.5 sec./unit output)
