Key Resources & Where They Live
| Resource | Where to find | Best farming method |
|---|---|---|
| Stone / Wood | Everywhere | Assign mining/lumber pals in base |
| Ore | Rocky areas, Mount Obsidian, ore nodes | Mining Site in base + Anubis/Rushoar |
| Paldium Fragments | Purple rock veins, cave floors | Pickaxe on glowing nodes |
| Sulfur | Volcanic regions (Mount Obsidian) | Mining pals + player runs |
| Carbon Fiber | Late-game chests, boss drops | Raid/world boss farming |
| High Quality Pal Oil | Water pals (drops), oil rigs | Water pal ranching + fluid farming |
| Ancient Civilization Parts | Tower bosses, some world bosses | Repeat first tower daily |
Crop & Ranch Self-Sufficiency
The food loop that never stops
- Plant Red Berries (starter crop) in farming plots — watering pals keep them growing.
- Cook on the campfire → cooked berries restore more hunger + SAN.
- Add a Ranch (Tech 13) and assign ranch pals (Chikipi → eggs, Lamball → wool) for passive income.
- Upgrade to wheat/milk once tech allows — unlocks cake for breeding.
💡 A full loop (crop → cook → feed → breed) makes your base fully independent — you'll never hand-feed again.
Coin Farming Routes
Three proven money makers
| Method | Efficiency | Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Sell excess wool/eggs from ranch | Passive, steady | Low |
| Kill & sell boss drops (Ancient Parts) | High burst | Medium (boss fights) |
| Black market flipping (buy low / sell elsewhere) | Variable | Medium (travel + price variance) |
💡 Best early money: ranch-based wool selling requires zero risk and funds your first 5,000 coins by level 15.
Black Market Merchants
What the black market sells
- Rare pals (including some you can't catch easily) — pricey but instant.
- High-tier materials: Ancient Civilization Parts, Carbon Fiber.
- Schematics & consumables not sold elsewhere.
⚠️ Black market merchants move location and restock — check the current community map before hunting one down. Prices fluctuate; buy parts when cheap, sell when you have surplus.
