Bulk goods traders will also buy and sell wood.

Steel is the primary resource for mid to late game construction, and is therefore vital. Without steel, you cannot build new power generators, conduits, batteries, temperature regulators like coolers and heaters, or turrets and sandbags, so ensure that you have a steady supply. Steel appears at your crash site when a new game is started. After this steel is exhausted, it can be obtained through random drops, trading, mining, disassembling mechanoids, or melting slag into useable steel at an electric smelter. Steel can be mined from [[mineral tiles|minerals]], which are found in mineral veins in the mountains. Industrial traders also buy and sell steel.

It can also be used to create extremely beautiful furniture and structures that will help obtain that coveted "Beautiful Environment" mood bonus for your colonists, though this may be wasteful unless you are swimming in cash already and don't need much extra.

[[Category:Resources]]
Stone is produced from rock rubble via a [[Stonecutter's table]] after it is researched. To create stone right click the table, click 'Bills', and use the '''+''' and '''-''' buttons to set how many pieces of rubble you wish to consume. You must have a colonist with 'crafting' enabled in the Overview menu.  Stone can also be obtained by deconstructing abandoned structures that are randomly scattered throughout the map. 
 
 
 
Cut stone (stone cutting research and workbench that uses slag chunks) can be used to supplement other valuable resources, namely steel and wood. 
 
 
 
Cut stone can be used to craft walls (even the conduit walls that carry electricity), or fancy floors with faster than default walk speed and less mood penalty.  Cut stone can be used to craft everything from doors, automatic doors, tables, benches, to beds and royal beds.

Materials are the most basic resources. They are used for structures, buildings, apparel, weapons and more.

Stuff[edit]

Materials are grouped in five stuff categories:

So called "stuffable" buildings and items (walls, armchairs, longswords, plate armor etc.) have stuff tags. They determine from which stuff categories the building or item can be made of. The player can choose any material from these stuff categories to build or craft that building or item. The stats of the end product are then affected by the modifiers of the used material.

Comparison table[edit]

The following table shows all materials, their stuff category and all their modifiers. The empty cells give a good overview which materials can't be used for what kind of building or item.

  • Fabrics and leathers can't be used for weapons, doors and beds
  • Stone can't be used for apparel. (Note that even though jade has armor and insulation modifiers, it can't be used for any type of apparel.)
