Resources

Your settlement revolves around your resources. Some are gathered from map tiles, some are produced in Buildings, some are rewarded from Glade Events, and all of them will move around your settlement by villagers to get ready for production of Recipes, satisfy Needs, build Buildings and Roads, and complete Glade Events. Resources are also moved invisibly and instantly through Trade, Sacrificing, and Orders.

Swapping Ingredients
Whenever producing a new recipe, check to see which ingredients are allowed. If the recipe accepts multiple ingredients, the resource icon will be round with rotating arrows around it. If the ingredient is required, the icon will be square.

In the example screenshot, the top recipe is for. This Building is currently using for this recipe, but the rotating arrows around the icon means you can swap the ingredient. This recipe also has a fixed ingredient of ; the square border around the ingredient icon means you cannot swap this ingredient. The bottom recipe for is currently using, but that can be changed, indicated by the rotating arrow circular frame around the Eggs icon.

Resources Panel


At any time, you can see the totals of different categories of resources at the top of your screen, to the left of the primary time display and controls.

The number on each category icon represents the total amount of those types of resources. Clicking on those icons reveals a grid below the panel showing icons for every resource from that category currently in storage. The number below each of those icons is how many of that specific item your settlement has in storage. It does not count items in buildings' inventories that are waiting to be consumed by production or have been produced but not yet delivered to a Warehouse. The red or green arrow on each icon indicates whether the number of each category or resource has been trending up or down recently.

From left to right, the categories are the following:

Recipes Panel
You can also see your current Resource amounts from the Recipes Panel. You can browse the Recipes Panel by either end Product or Ingredient - allowing you to see which Recipes either produce or use that Resource. If you uncheck Show All, it will only display the Resources and Buildings you have available. You can also check Show All to explore the full list of Recipes.

When browsing by Product, the left-hand side number indicates the current amount in Storage; and on the right-hand side you can set a Global Production Limit for that Resource. If you click on a Product, it will expand a menu showing which Buildings have Recipes for that Product - including which Ingredients can be used, how many Ingredients are required, and how many resulting Resources that Recipe will produce. It will also display all possible Resources which could be used to produce that Product in the bottom of the panel - including how many currently reside in your Storage.

When browsing by Ingredient, the left-hand side number indicates the current amount in Storage. If you click on an Ingredient, it will expand a menu showing all the Recipes from all the Buildings which use that Ingredient. If you have unlocked a particular Building, you can adjust which Ingredients are being used and apply a Building-specific Production Limit that overrides the Global Production Limit.

The Recipes Panel hotkey is "U" by default.

Acquiring Resources
Resources can be acquired in four ways:
 * Gathered from Trees and Resource Deposits
 * Farmed from Farm Fields
 * Produced by Buildings
 * Given as rewards for completing Orders

Trees

 * Main article: The Forest

All trees can be harvested by Woodcutters' Camps to produce. They may also grant additional resources depending on the biome. All trees have 2 charges, except Overgrown Abyssal trees, which have 20.

Resource Deposits

 * Main article: The Forest

Resource deposits are tiles from which villagers may gather resources. Deposits come in two sizes; large deposits can only be found inside Dangerous and Forbidden Glades. (The tutorial is an exception.) Their size determines not just how much can be gathered from the deposits, but also which Camps can gather from them.

Large deposits require the larger Foragers' Camp, Herbalists' Camp, and Trappers' Camp.

Each deposit has a certain number of charges, which are used up every time a villager harvests from it. The number of charges can be increased by Smoldering City Upgrades and Perks, like Rich Glades and Rooty Ground. Large resource deposits always have more charges than their smaller versions. Exhausting a deposit's charges will cause the deposit to disappear and free up the tile it was on for other uses.

Like trees, resource deposits have chances for additional gathered resources. When a resource has both a first bonus chance of 100% and a second bonus chance of X%, you will have X% chance of getting both additional resources from gathering. You always get at least one of the two.

You may choose priorities for each deposit by clicking on its tile. Deposits with higher priority will be gathered from first.

Bonus Resources
These are the bonus resources that can be gathered from resource deposits. Refer back to this list, especially when planning your access to Crafting Materials.

Giant Deposits in the Marshlands
There are always three Forbidden Glades in the Marshlands Biome, and one giant resource deposits can be found in each of them. These massive treasure troves of resources provide many bonus resources as well as more than enough charges to outlast a mission.

The giant resource deposits require the larger Foragers' Camp, Herbalists' Camp, and Trappers' Camp.

Farming


Farming is the primary source of renewable goods for your settlements and requires Fertile Soil. Once your workers convert Fertile Soil into Farm Fields, any nearby farming buildings will send out their workers who can sow and harvest from those fields to produce their corresponding goods forever. The exceptions are the Greenhouse and Clay Pit, which you need to build directly on the Fertile Soil.

Farming is not only for edible foods and food ingredients; you can grow and harvest metal and crafting materials, , and.

In addition to the yields below, the Cornerstone Mushroom Seedlings adds the ability to grow in any building that uses Fertile Soil. The Cornerstone Moss Broccoli Seeds allows you to grow in the Greenhouse.
