Crafting
Resource Gathering
Harvesting materials from resource deposits scattered across The Wastes.
Where to Gather
Resource deposit tiles are marked with a pickaxe icon on the map grid. Every zone contains multiple deposits, each tied to that zone's material pool. Higher-level zones yield rarer and more valuable materials.
How It Works
Tap Gather on a resource tile to open the deposit, revealing 2-3 individual nodes. Each node contains a specific material type and can be harvested independently. Tap a node to collect its material. Higher fabrication discipline levels increase your yield, granting a chance to harvest 2-3 materials per gather.
Cooldowns & Respawn
Each node has an independent cooldown after harvesting: 2 minutes for common materials, 4 minutes for uncommon, and 7 minutes for rare. When a node replenishes, its material type randomizes from the zone's available pool — check back frequently for the specific materials you need.
