|}

Skipping resource tiers usually results in difficulty spikes.

----

== 🔥 Resource Processing ==
Many resources must be refined before use:

{| class="wikitable"
! Raw Resource
! Processing Structure
! Output
|-
| Ore
| [[Smelter]]
| Metal bars
|-
| Wood
| [[Charcoal Kiln]]
| Coal
|-
| Flax
| [[Spinning Wheel]]
| Linen thread
|-
| Barley
| [[Windmill]]
| Barley flour
|-
| Sap
| [[Eitr Refinery]]
| Refined Eitr
|}

Efficient processing chains speed up progression.

----

== 🚢 Logistics & Transport ==

Some resources cannot pass through portals, including:

* Ores
* Most metal bars

This forces players to:

* Establish coastal bases
* Use ships for transport
* Plan forward mining outposts

See: [[Sailing]]

----

== 🛠 Resource Management Tips ==

* Stockpile more than you think you need — upgrades are expensive.
* Build storage rooms near crafting stations.
* Separate raw and refined materials.
* Create forward outposts in dangerous biomes.
* Always bring portal materials when resource gathering.

Good logistics management often matters more than combat skill.
