Overview[edit | edit source]
Polymer is an artificial material crafted at the Fabricator using 2x Obsidian and 2x Cementing Paste.
Organic Polymer, a natural version of Polymer that can be obtained from killing 
Kairuku, 
Hesperornis, 
Mantis, 
Karkinos, and harvesting bee hives. It can always be used in place of Polymer, but is not as ideal because it has a spoil timer and can only stack up to 20, while regular Polymer can stack up to 100.
Corrupted Nodule 
is also a natural version of Polymer, found on Extinction. It can be harvested from dead Corrupted Creatures in the Wasteland.
On Ragnarok, however, if you have tamed a 
Griffin, a really good strategy would be flying over to the beach of the volcano area (with black sand), divebomb a bunch of Mantises, and with the Griffin's fast speeds fly over to your home, and use the Organic Polymer as a substitute for the normal Polymer.
