Fibers are obtained from a plant or an animal. The majority of these fibers are used in weaving textiles, although the coarser plant fibers are also used for rope and twine. Plant fibers come from the seed hairs, leaves, stems or husks of the plant. Animal fibers are provided, generally, by animal hair and, in the case of silk, by the secretion of the silkworm. Cotton is an extremely common plant fiber, while wool is a typical animal fiber. Fibers are used as a material in the manufacture of more complex items.
Fibers are a Planetary Resource that can be extracted from a Fiber Mill, if they are listed on the Planet's Geological Survey (GEO), or converted from Raw Resources on any Planet using a Stripmining Complex.
