Due to the lack of coal in the game (and the fact that the components of plastellium mushrooms do not react with polytrinic acid properly), plastic is unobtainable, which makes the creation of certain items impossible.

Drones can get plastic from candy wrappers and the like to make a collection of items. Most of what plastic can make is cutlery a plastic bag and a box and crate I believe. So we are not missing out on much with the current plastic options.

Brage, Plastellium mushrooms need to be blended before they can be used to make plastic.

Coal isn't used to make plastic... The plastic in game is most likely to be High Density Poly(ethene), which can be made by placing ethanol under a heat of 170 Celsius with Phosphoric acid to make ethene. The ethene is then placed under 2-3 atmospheres of pressure at 60 Celsius with catalysts such as titanium (III) chloride or aluminium triethyl, Al(C2H5)3.
So, mix together 1 AL, with 6 carbon and 15 hydrogen to make aluminium triethyl, for a catalyst, then add ethene created with Polytrinic (Phosphoric) acid and ethene, over a bunsen burner, to get plastic. It would be complicated, but could this be added...? It would be a way for chemists to make plastic, and a new use for the bunsen burner.

Brage, Plastellium mushrooms need to be blended before they can be used to make plastic. We tried this. It did not work. Drones can get plastic from candy wrappers and the like to make a collection of items. Most of what plastic can make is cutlery a plastic bag and a box and crate I believe. So we are not missing out on much with the current plastic options. There's one more item that would be very, very interesting, but alas. |

I can confirm that I've made plastic in-game and I'm pretty certain SKOP was the one to give me the blended up 'shrooms.
This was also quite recently as well. So unless our most recent update removed the reaction, plastic will still be available for creation.

Plastic is obtainable. You need loadsashrooms and loadsapolyacid. I made dem crossbows with plastic, remember? The things that instacrit you with superheated metal rods?
