Compounds

For the first few stages, the main resources in Thrive are Compounds. Compounds are used in processes to create other compounds or are consumed in another way.

Types of Compounds

There are multiple different Compounds in Thrive.

• Oxygen
• Nitrogen
• Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

Floating Chunk Compounds

These Compounds are found in chunks of minerals floating about in some patches.
