Raw Resources is a generic term that encompasses a bit of numerous other resources available to your Empire. Raw Resources can be extracted from any planet and then converted, at exceedingly poor efficiency, into other more useful resources. Raw Resources exist as a countermeasure to safeguard your Empire from running completely dry of a particular resource type, and should not be relied upon once you have the capability to directly mine the useful resources. It is possible to survive entirely upon Raw Resources converted into other base resource types, but it is inefficient.
Raw Resources are a Planetary Resource (available on all planets) that can be extracted from a Stripmining Complex.
