List of All Resources with Descriptions

Materials are raw ingredients used in crafting. They generally have no use by themselves. Most resources can be found by digging up hotspots (or glowing spots on the ground) near certain locations. All resources that spawn as a hotspot have a chance to spawn during each Sandstorm around whatever node they’re associated with.

Wood
