Revision 1

Windrose includes farming, fishing, and mining as resource gathering activities alongside standard survival game material collection (chopping trees, breaking rocks, harvesting plants).

Farming

Players can cultivate crops at their settlements. Farming provides ingredients for food and potions without needing to forage in the wild. This is especially useful for players who want a steady supply of cooking ingredients without leaving their base.

Fishing

Fishing is available as a resource gathering activity. Fish serve as ingredients for food crafting, providing stat buffs when cooked. Different island biomes likely yield different fish types, though specific fish varieties have not been detailed.

Mining

Caves scattered across islands contain ore deposits for mining. Different biomes yield different ores. Mining provides the raw materials for weapon and armor crafting, making it one of the primary resource gathering loops.

NPC automation

Players who prefer spending their time on combat and exploration can assign NPC workers to handle farming and basic resource gathering. This optional system respects the player's time while maintaining the economy through NPC wages.
