Tiberium - Harvesting, Refining, Storage - Command and Conquer - Tiberium Lore

Ойындар

Tiberium is the most important and dangerous resource on planet Earth. Ever since its arrival in 1995, various methods for harvesting, refining, and storing of the mineral have been developed. This video is an exploration of those methods seen throughout the Tiberium timeline/universe. Timestamps, corrections and/or clarifications posted below.

Corrections/clarifications:
The Brotherhood of Nod were the ones who developed the harvesting methods (Generation One Harvester) that are seen throughout the events of the First Tiberium War. This was an important point that I overlooked and is mentioned in the intro cinematic for C&C Tiberian Dawn, which gives strong evidence to support the idea that GDI stole the technology from the Brotherhood sometime before the first war broke out.

    The GDI refinery also lets loose the tiberium fumes, unlike the silos. The Scrin is the cleanest - they don't have fumes, but something more like a gaseous form of tiberium that is similar to the gases emanating from the raw crystals in the fields.

And also because the devs were lazy, because they still could have made different looking models. ;D The use of different harvesting units started with Red Alert 2.

    Lore wise, in the early Tiberium games, NOD developed the technology for harvesting and refining Tiberium first. It makes sense that early GDI Tiberium refining methods are similar because they stole/reverse-engineered from NOD design. Then, as GDI realized the negative aspects of Tiberium, they experimented with and developed "cleaner" methods of refining, in an attempt to reduce the environmental and humanitarian risks.

    I really enjoyed this video, especially the in-depth look at each step of the refining process in Renegade, I never knew that thing about the barrels of waste products. I like your idea that the barrels might be buried like toxic/radioactive waste, and inadvertently give rise to new Tiberium patches. I also enjoyed you pointing out the different details of the GDI and Nod refining processes in C&C3. Although I dislike how EA changed the nature of Tiberium in C&C3, I thought it was otherwise a brilliant game, and I loved the great attention to detail within the game. It's really cool how the GDI harvester compresses the Tiberium into rods that are dropped into tubes, while the Nod refinery just sucks up all the Tiberium out of the harvester through big hoses that you can see shaking during the transfer process, and then from the main vat into the 2 storage containers.

    The second gen Harvesters appear to be based on a cotton picker, pods are funneled toward the pipes that carry crystals into the tank while chaff from the pods is filtered and ejected. Another key difference that while terrestrial crops required care, the more brute-force method of shovelling simply helped to break up Tiberium crystals and dislodge them from the pods.

    The one step you left out is that the ultimate fate of most tiberium (at least the stuff used by humans) is to be broken down yet further so that the various elements it has absorbed can be extracted for use. This is what some of the buproduct of tiberium refining is: raw tiberium crystal slag containing whatever chemicals can’t be extracted or aren’t considered useful enough. The Scrin may do this as well, but they also use tiberium itself as a building material for most of their technology.
