Gathering

Harvesting resources from nodes on the map.

Resource nodes sit on fixed tiles. Stand next to one and harvest it, and it yields a set item.

What you need

• Some nodes need nothing at all, herbs and the like are picked by hand.
• Ore and rock need a pickaxe equipped.
• Logs need an axe.

Which tool a node wants is on its own resource page, along with every tile it appears on.

A node carries a number of charges and runs out for a while once they are used.

Fillable containers

Some items are filled rather than gathered: an Empty Bucket placed into a water well comes back as a Bucket Of Water, and one fill in ten as a Bucket Of Pure Water instead (0.4.17); a cow milked with an Empty Bucket gives a Bucket Of Milk, and the milk machine turns those into milk bottles (0.4.27).

Tools

A node names the tool class it needs; any item of that class, held as the weapon, harvests it. Everything else is gathered by hand.

pickaxe	Mine Pick, Rusty Diggy	Iron Ore, Tin Ore, Grimite Ore
