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.
