Resources

This article was last updated during version 1.0. The game is now in 1.4.17. Some information may be out of date. Help us keep the wiki up to date by comparing this article against the patch notes and updating it.

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

See also: Recipes

Two recipes shown in the game

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

Moving resources between buildings

300px This panel shows ready ingredients that could be removed back to the warehouse.

When a worker takes goods to a building (whether by construction, or to be ingredients in a recipe), you can instantly move those goods back to the warehouse. Click the red-and-white X icon to do so.

Note: When goods have been produced in a building, they must be moved by a worker to the warehouse. If you demolish the building while the Produced Goods storage contains goods, those goods will be lost.

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 Wood. They may also grant additional resources depending on the biome. All trees have 2 charges, except Overgrown Abyssal trees, which have 20.

Trees, bonus yields beyond Wood, and biomes

Tree	Biome	Bonus Resources
Crimsonreach Tree	Coral Forest	40% Stone 20% Incense
Musselsprout Tree	Coral Forest	40% Meat 20% Crystalized Dew
Plateleaf Tree	Coral Forest	30% Plant Fiber
Dying Tree	Cursed Royal Woodlands	60% Wood 10% Insects 10% Plant Fiber 10% Roots
Lush Tree	Royal Woodlands	100% Wood 15% Resin 10% Plant Fiber 5% Eggs
Coppervein Tree	Scarlet Orchard	60% Wood 10% Copper Ore 5% 5% Plant Fiber
Abyssal Tree	Sealed Forest	10% Meat 10% Leather 10% Sea Marrow
Overgrown Abyssal Tree	Sealed Forest	10% Meat 10% Leather 10% Sea Marrow
Mushwood Tree	Marshlands	15% Mushrooms 5% Leather

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.

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.

Giant Resource Deposits in the Marshlands

Giant Proto-Fungus	Mushrooms	1011	40% Insects	40%	40% Waterskins	30% Pickled Goods

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 Crystalized Dew and crafting materials Plant Fiber, Clay, and Resin.

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

*The Hallowed Herb Garden, Homestead, and Hallowed Small Farm cannot be built by you. You will find them rarely in Dangerous and Forbidden Glades.

List of Resources

Food

See Also: Resolve

Every few minutes, your Villagers will go to rest at a Hearth and try to eat food from your Storage. If they cannot eat, they will get a Resolve penalty called Hunger that can stack if they miss multiple meals, multiplying their Resolve penalty. Alternatively, if cooked and produced food goods, called Complex Food, is available then villagers will eat that instead of raw food. Since Complex Foods reward a bonus to Resolve, you will make the production of Complex Food an early objective of every settlement. This requires that your settlement have a steady income of raw food, among other goods.

Raw Food

Initially only raw food will be available around the beginning of each settlement, from deposits, as explained above. Raw food is an inefficient way to feed your villagers and keep them from going hungry. Complex Food feeds more villagers than raw food, but requires raw food as ingredients.

You can prevent your villagers from eating raw food ingredients via Consumption Control. For example, if you are running low on Roots and need it to make Flour for more efficient food like Biscuits, you may decide you need to prohibit your villagers from eating Roots.

Gathering Camps and Farms produce raw food, among other things. See the sections on Resource Deposits and Farming.

Raw Food that can be Grown or Gathered

Raw Food	Example Sources
Berries	Dewberry Bush	Plantation
Eggs	Drizzlewing Nest	Ranch
Fish	Thunderfish Pond	Small Fishing Hut
Insects	Wormtongue Nest	Small Trappers' Camp
Meat	Slickshell Broodmother	Small Trappers' Camp
Mushrooms	Grasscap Mushrooms	Small Herbalists' Camp
Roots	Roots Deposit	Herb Garden
Vegetables	Moss Broccoli Patch	Small Farm

Complex Food

Main article: Complex Food Need

Complex Food goods are produced from raw goods and will satisfy the villagers' needs for Complex Food. Villagers prefer these food items over raw food. Besides giving a benefit to Resolve, Complex Food more efficiently feeds your villagers, because their recipes yield more goods than the number of raw ingredients used to produce them.

Like you can do with raw food, you can prohibit your villagers from eating Complex Food through Consumption Control. However, unlike with raw food, they will get a small penalty to their Resolve when you deny them Complex Food.

For more information, click on the good to see more about its recipes' ingredients, production times, and producing buildings.

Building Materials

Building materials are used for constructing new Buildings and in recipes that require these as ingredients to produce other goods. You can also produce each Pack of Building Materials with some of these goods.

Note that the number of ingredients required, the number of goods produced, and the time it takes to produce depend on the efficiency of the recipe. Consult the Recipes Panel in the game or the buildings' or good's page for further details.

Crafting materials

Crafting materials include a variety of goods used in recipes that don't have another purpose except as intermediate products. These are the most diversely and frequently used resources, some being options for almost a dozen recipes. Materials for building Roads also falls into this broad category.

Crafting materials are split into roughly two groups. The first group is similar to raw food goods that are gathered from the map, so they are called here Raw Crafting Materials for simplicity. The second group is produced in production buildings, and they are called here Refined Crafting Materials to distinguish them from raw ones. There are some that appear in both lists: Crystalized Dew and Leather because they are easily obtainable both way (the latter especially as a bonus resource).

Crafting materials can frequently be found as rewards from Glade Events and Orders.

Additionally, several of these resources can be gathered as bonuses from trees and deposits. See Resources#Acquiring Resources for details.

Note that the number of ingredients required, the number of goods produced, and the time it takes to produce depend on the efficiency of the recipe. Consult the Recipes Panel in the game or the building's or good's wiki page for further details.

Raw crafting materials

These crafting materials are gathered from resource deposits or farmed from fields.

Remember many of these are also gathered as bonuses from resource deposits, some with high probabilities; see Resources#Acquiring Resources for details.

Trade Goods

Trade Goods are used in Trade and many Orders. Because these goods are at the end of long production chains, these items typically have the highest value among all of the resources.

Producing these items consumes more ingredients than most other recipes, so be careful. When fulfilling Orders, setting limits is recommended, so you don't inadvertently use up all your building materials and food.

Amber is in this section, which is the exchange currency used between settlements (via Trade Routes), with Traders, and with the Smoldering City.

Note that the number of ingredients required, the number of goods produced, and the time it takes to produce depend on the efficiency of the recipe. Consult the Recipes Panel in the game or the building's or good's wiki page for further details.

Citadel Resources

Citadel resources, or meta resources, are special goods that are used to purchase Upgrades in the Smoldering City. They are not able to be produced by any recipes in any buildings. Instead, you earn these resources at the end of every successful mission. See the article on the World Map and the Smoldering City for more information on the meta-progression of the game.

Fuel & Exploration

This category includes the fuel goods burned and Sacrificed in Hearths, including the Wood obtained from opening Glades, and the goods used for exploring and expanding your settlement.

Some fuel and exploration goods can be gathered from resource deposits on the map tiles. Some must be produced in buildings; some have multiple ways to get them. See the good's or building's wiki page for the details.
