  • Obtainium Defined
  

Obtainium. (noun, Proper).

 

A meta-good, generalized to "Materials which can be, or have been obtained."

 

Example: "Wow, that abandoned electronics factory was a huge load of refined obtainium." Obtainium like other elements comes in several grades.

 

Raw obtainium, which represents obtainium contaminated with other (proto-obtainium) elements that are not particularly desirable. For example an early 70’s Lincoln Mark IV with a factory installed 8-Track.  The raw obtainium in this instance would involve removing the 8-Track.  

 

Free obtainium is the most desirable refined product, though as usual large, valuable ore bodies have logistical issues associated with removal and subsequent storage. Free obtainium may be fixed by various means (Excessive size, weight or volume) thereby requiring extraction.
