Plywood Press

Plywood Press is a building that compresses plant matter into flattened plant bits, which serve as a useful substitute for Wood. It provides an alternative source of this important construction material when natural Wood is scarce or unavailable.

Its main value is that it turns otherwise ordinary plant materials into something that can fill the role of Wood in a variety of uses. This makes it especially helpful in colonies that have not yet established a reliable Wood supply, or in biomes where Wood is limited.

In practical use, the Plywood Press is part of the broader chain of materials management rather than a direct production building for advanced goods. It is most relevant when a colony needs a steady supply of Wood-like material for building and other wood-dependent applications.

• Produces flattened plant bits from plant material.
• The output functions as a Wood substitute.
• Useful for reducing dependence on naturally available Wood.
• Helps convert plant resources into a more broadly usable construction material.
