Resource Desert

A place that would have resources, since resources are abundant, if White People weren't hogging them all.

Used His Resources Wisely

Guy 1: How did Jon score so high on that math test? I know he didn’t study.
Guy 2: He “used his resources wisely.” He sat next to Kyle.

Resources Synthesis Plants

The macro-scale version of a replicator, focused on bulk production of fundamental commodities. These sprawling industrial complexes use advanced chemistry, nuclear transmutation, and nanoscale assembly to create resources from base feedstocks. Think: pulling nitrogen and hydrogen from the air to synthesize limitless fertilizer, cracking water and atmospheric CO2 into liquid hydrocarbon fuels, or processing silicate rock into pure silicon, aluminum, and oxygen. They turn ubiquitous, low-value materials into the essential building blocks of civilization.
Example: "The asteroid base's life support is a resources synthesis plant. It eats crushed rock, extracts metals, splits the oxide for oxygen, and polymerizes the leftover carbon into plastics and synth-textiles. Your bunk and your spacesuit both started as the same handful of gravel." Resources Synthesis Plants
