Tiberian Dawn even goes into some of the early effects of Tiberium.It's not till Tiberium Twilight where this interest DOESN'T make them come off as insane. And Nod keeps wanting to spread this stuff over the planet, and starting in Tiberian Sun they practically have a religion based on it, which Tiberium Wars takes to an extreme with stain-glassed window paintings depicting Tiberium mutations. This ensures that whatever species left when the Scrin arrives is completely crippled, with but pockets of unmutated stock left and mostly worn out from war and starvation. But it leeches away nutrients for growing food and degenerates (and poisons) local fauna. They will also purposely cultivate fields of the stuff, because it's far more easier to plop a crystal in the ground than digging through a quarry. Every single society will fight tooth and nail for control of this stuff, as there is literally no better way of extracting valuables. Bordering on Fridge Horror, you realise that this thing is made to capitalize on greed.
The gas is toxic to most lifeforms and generally devolves them as well, but is easily contained.
However it leeches valuable minerals from the soil into a concentrated amount, growing crystals that can be easily harvested.
