Early Resources
A quick reference for the first resources to watch: wood logs, herbs, gemstone veins, mandrake, food, rations, and crafting bottlenecks.
Quick Answer
Steam publicly names wood logs, herbs, gemstone veins, and mandrake as dungeon resources. Early resource advice should connect those finds to food, crafting, research, rations, and expedition supplies.

How To Use This
Known List
The confirmed early list starts with wood logs, herbs, gemstone veins, and mandrake. These are the safest resources to track first because they are named publicly.
What Matters
For every missing item, ask four things: where it can appear, what unlocks access, what the first important use is, and whether the source can support repeated expeditions.
Dungeon Context
Because dungeons can include regions, environmental effects, merchants, rare resources, and monsters, resource locations may not behave like a fixed map.
Beginner Priority
Early resources matter most when they solve a bottleneck: food stability, shelter, crafting, research, equipment, rations, or camping supplies.
What Players Can Rely On
- Wood logs, herbs, gemstone veins, and mysterious mandrake are named in the public Steam description.
- The settlement layer includes fields, crops, rations, camping supplies, forge stations, research, and equipment.
- Dungeon regions can have environmental effects, rare resources, merchants, and monsters.
What Can Still Change
- Earliest location for each named resource.
- Whether resources are biome-specific, floor-specific, traded, or repeatable.
- Which resources block early rooms, forge work, research, food, or supplies.
- Clay availability and material costs after balance patches.
Before Your Next Run
- Choose one missing resource before starting the next dungeon run.
- Check gathering nodes, enemy drops, and merchants while exploring.
- Reserve scarce materials for the building or craft that solves the current bottleneck.
- Confirm a reported location in your own randomized floor before depending on it.
