+Concrete is a synthetic building material.  The technic modpack implements
+it in the game.
+
+Two forms of concrete are available as building blocks: ordinary
+"concrete" and more advanced "blast-resistant concrete".  Despite its
+name, the latter has no special resistance to explosions or to any other
+means of destruction.
+
+Concrete can also be used to make fences.  They act just like wooden
+fences, but aren't flammable.  Confusingly, the item that corresponds
+to a wooden "fence" is called "concrete post".  Posts placed adjacently
+will implicitly create fence between them.  Fencing also appears between
+a post and adjacent concrete block.
