Label: Ore is a small cloth label used to mark the contents of a player-built Storage container in Windrose. Each label has a printed icon, in this case the Ore icon, that hangs from a chest, barrel, or crate so the contents can be identified at a glance without opening the container.
Label: Ore is one of ten named labels in the Storage Labels system. Every label name comes in two visual styles, a soft cloth tag and a rustic wooden plaque, so a captain can pick a single look and apply it across an entire storage room. The Ore icon marks the chest that holds the matching goods. Labels never sort items for you, so you still move goods into the right chest by hand; the icon only makes the correct chest obvious from across the room.
Captains usually reserve an Ore-labelled container for the following:
Stored Item | Notes |
|---|---|
Copper Ore and Iron Ore | Raw metal ore before smelting into ingots. |
Mining drop used in gunpowder production. | |
Bulk building material gathered alongside ore. |
The other nine labels in the set follow the same recipe and behaviour. Common companions in a sorting room include:
Label: Trade for resale goods and merchant stock.
Label: Treasure for coins, gems, maps, and relics.
Label: Ore for raw mining output.
Label: Wood for logs, planks, and hardwood.
Label: Weapons for swords, pistols, and ammunition.
Label: Cooked Food and Label: Food Ingredients for the kitchen.
A sign for organized captains who want to remember which treasure is stashed in which chest.
Walk up to a placed Storage container and select the Attach Label option from the radial menu. Pick the label from the inventory and it snaps onto the chest. Removing or replacing the label is free. The label is purely visual; it does not lock the container's contents to any item type, but it makes a base with many chests far easier to navigate.
Crafted at a Workbench from 1 Coarse Fabric per label. Coarse Fabric is processed from Flax fibre at a Loom, which makes labels essentially free to mass-produce once a flax farm is running.
Stockpile a stack of every label icon at once. Crafting individual labels in the middle of organising a base is fiddly, and the cost is small enough that having the full set ready saves time.
Group labelled containers in straight rows. Labels read better as a wall of icons than as scattered marks across a room.
Labels persist through container moves. Picking up a labelled chest and replacing it elsewhere keeps the label attached, so a base reorganisation does not require re-labelling.

Label: Ore is part of the crafting progression chain rather than a standalone collectible. Use the recipe, station, and ingredient rows to trace what unlocks it, what it consumes, and which linked upgrades or materials should be prepared before crafting it.
