Background

Plastics are a wide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic materials that use polymers as a main ingredient. Their plasticity makes it possible for plastics to be moulded, extruded or pressed into solid objects of various shapes. This adaptability, plus a wide range of other properties, such as being lightweight, durable, flexible, and inexpensive to produce, has led to its widespread use. Plastics typically are made through human industrial systems. Most modern plastics are derived from fossil fuel-based chemicals like natural gas or petroleum; however, recent industrial methods use variants made from renewable materials, such as corn or cotton derivatives.

Gameplay

Plastics are utilized to produce electronics and electrical components and also it's utilized during the production of vehicles. It can be sold at a high trade value.

Production

Plastics resource flow chart

Plastics are produced from oil and chemicals. Plastics factory produce at the rate of 4,09t of oil for 1t of plastics, consuming chemicals (0.45t) in the process. It can have a maximum daily production of 6.6t per factory.

Storage

Plastics may be stored in warehouses.

Transportation

It can be transported by using covered-hull trucks, trains using box car cargo wagons, or by forklifts.

Uses

Plastics are usable for production of electronics, electronic components, in the production of the majority of vehicles, and exporting.
