"Usable as a weak fuel source and as a key ingredient in the production of Plantmatter Frames. Exclusively produced by placing Kindlevine Stems in a Thresher."

Obtained by

Unlocked

Access to Plantmatter Fiber requires researching the Kindlevine Threshing technology (synthesis.Lima.T4.Kindlevine Threshing) which costs Research Core 380nm (Purple) (1x).

Crafting

While the in-game description suggests that Plantmatter Fiber is only available from threshing Kindlevine Stems this isn't true. It can also be obtained from threshing Plantmatter Frame (which can be built using Kindlevine Stems) or Plantmatter. Neither is a desirable route however - both Plantmatter Frames and Plantmatter have better uses elsewhere.

Usage

Plantmatter Fiber is used to unlock the first tier of PT XRay. This requires Kindlevine_Extract (100x) and Plantmatter Fiber (100x) (PT XRAY.T1.Reinforced Frames) While Plantmatter Fiber can be used as a fuel for Smelting and Resource Extraction, it has a Fuel Power of 3, which is lower than Plantmatter. In the early game, Plantmatter Fiber is typically better used in creating Plantmatter Frames. If needed as a fuel, it is best to unlock the Plantmatter technology (synthesis.Victor.T2.Plantmatter) which allows assembling into Plantmatter.
