Resources and Materials
May 26, 2026 at 11:31 PM
Initial version (2026-05-27): full resources and materials catalog
Resources and materials in Romestead split into three categories: physical heavy resources that exist as world objects, processed materials made at production buildings, and unique boss-drop materials. Most building recipes pull from the first two categories; boss-themed gear pulls from all three.
Heavy materials must be physically handled (picked up, carried, thrown, hauled). They do not stack in inventory; instead they sit in the world or on carts. See Resource Management.
Lumber: chopped from trees with a Lumber Axe.
Stone: mined from rock veins with a Pickaxe.
Clay: mined from clay deposits; produced by the Clay Pit (Ash-Pit in Volcano).
Wood Plank: processed lumber crafted at the Carpenter's Workshop.
Wood Stick: harvested or crafted; used in starter recipes.
Brick: processed building block.
Concrete: late-tier building material from the concrete mixer (Early Access addition).
Marble: top-tier building material from the Volcano biome.
