Processed Construction Materials (also known as pcons) is a large material used for constructing advanced facilities and producing advanced items and vehicles at various facility structures.

It does not stack in inventories (1 per slot) except in production Facilities (100 per slot). It can be stored in the stockpiles of Bases (32k max), Facilities that produces it (32k), Material Pallets (120), Material Transfer Stations (1000), Rooster - Tumblebox Trailer (32), and Small Flatbed Car (100). It can be crated (need stack of 1 per crate) and uncrated with the right click context menu while interfacing a Seaport, Storage Depot, or Shipping Container.Crates of Processed Construction Materials can be directly submitted to any item stockpile that accepts that item to transfer their content. The crates can also be stored in the crate stockpiles of Storage Depots (1000 public, 100 per Reserve Stockpile), Seaports (1000 public, 100 per Reserve Stockpile), Shipping Containers (60), or Storage Ships (1000).

As Large Items, a soldier can only carry one at a time. Players can press V to either pick one from the ground, drop one, or submit one to a nearby structure. You can force drop one by pressing Shift + V.

It can be transported by almost any vehicle with inventory slots, but is most commonly transported by Trucks, Small Flatbed Car, or shipping vehicles carrying Material Pallets. Delivering it in crate form is possible but extremely inefficient.
