OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Instant cloudcutters, a dream come true. Allegedly. If the most exaggerated marketing campaigns are to be believed.
In reality, biocrete can be used to construct the 'bones' of a structure with remarkable ease, but does nothing to reduce the time and effort needed to install electrical systems, utilities, furniture, nicer walls/floors (for uncooperative blowhards who don't want all-concrete housing), and the like. Still, it does speed up construction markedly and the end result is remarkably resilient to ordinary wear and tear.
In some cases, this material has been used to erect vast amounts of primitive shelters in no time; there's no plumbing, but it beats tents, right?

- Biocrete is alive, sort of. Synthesised as a thick paste, the silicon-based compound can be motivated to crawl into complex forms by carefully applying electrical impulses; it derives the requisite energy from ambient heat in warm environments and industrial heating in more temperate climates. This process can take minutes or days depending on the size of the structure, but is typically far faster than shaping duracrete.
- Self-Constructing: Biocrete can be guided into complex structures by electrical impulses during its mutable phase.
- Immutable: Once a structure is locked down, Biocrete 'dies' but remains resilient and mildly regenerative.
- Niche: Biocrete is somewhat weaker than duracrete and tends to turn brittle if left in a vacuum.
