Resources

Resources are raw materials that can be harvested or otherwise collected, then used to craft items, equipment and other crafting materials.

Resource Types
All resources have a base type (such as Fibers or Metal) and a sub-type (such as Cotton or Cobalt).

Crafting Blueprints
When crafting Common-tier items, any resources of the correct base type may be used.

When crafting items from higher-tier blueprints (Ramshackle and above), resources of multiple subtypes must be used. For example, a Ramshackle blueprint may specify Fibers 3x18. This indicates that 18 units of three different subtypes must be used, such as 18 Cotton, 18 Hemp and 18 Silk, or 18 Straw, 18 Cotton and 18 Hemp. Base type resources may not be used in the crafting of these items.

The following screenshot illustrates the requirements of a higher-tier blueprint.



Finding Resources
Resource sub-types vary by Biome and location. For example, Rushes may be found in Temperate and Tropical regions, but not in Tundra regions.

Note: ''On starter islands (Freeports), only base types may be harvested. To get specific types, players must explore different islands.''

Holding down (default settings) on the keyboard while targeting a resource will tell you what types of items are collectible from that resource.

Documentation
There are several player-led efforts to document where resources may be found. The following links may be of use:

Crafted Resources
In addition to raw materials, there are a number of craftable intermediate resources that are used as crafting ingredients. They include:

Note: Any references to "alloy" in the game are actually referring to the crafted ingots listed above.
