In my defense, my definition of post-scarcity at the time was having access to matter conversion technology. Labster corrected me on that, saying it actually meant having supply chains that are not hampered by shortages of fuel and the like. Personally, I don’t think that’s actually a very good definition for the term post-scarcity because that implies that there are no materials that are scarce at all. Reality is, there are plenty of materials that would be scarce no matter how good your supply chains are. Things such as gold, platinum, and pretty much any other precious metal. Not to mention rare earth elements.
Another possible way of explaining their technology could be really good Nanotech. It would certainly explain their degree of material sciences.
