Bent sheet fragments and loose metal stock stripped from wrecked vehicles and dead machinery. The baseline building block for early tools and fortification.

Sources: Vehicle wrecks, dumpsters, garages, industrial buildings.

Flat rolled metal panels, sturdier than raw scrap. Used for fortified walls, doors, and vehicle armor plating.

Sources: Industrial sites, warehouses, construction yards.

Coiled tension springs pulled from furniture, mattresses, and mechanical parts. Needed for firearm and mechanism crafting.

Sources: Furniture, mattresses, vehicles, workshops.

Torn fabric scraps. The first-resort material for makeshift bandages before proper medical supplies are available.

Sources: Clothing racks, laundry, dressers, dead survivors.

All-purpose adhesive tape. Binds weapon attachments, patches gear, and reinforces crafted items.

Sources: Garages, toolboxes, utility closets.

Treated hide used for armor padding and holsters. Hard Leather (a refined form) unlocks with advanced crafting stations.

Sources: Furniture, clothing stores, tanneries.

Bottled industrial and household chemicals used in crafting cleaning agents, fuel treatments, and some medical items.

Sources: Garages, sheds, cleaning cabinets, industrial sites.

Disinfectant used to sterilize wounds and craft medical supplies. Reduces infection risk after zombie encounters.

Sources: Bathrooms, medical cabinets, pharmacies.

Raw wood gathered directly from trees and deadfall. Basic fuel and early tool component.

Sources: Forests, parks, wooded map edges.

Milled lumber used for early shelter construction, furniture barricades, and tool handles.

Sources: Furniture, construction sites, forests (via axe).

Copper wiring salvaged from appliances and wall fixtures. Required for power systems and electronic devices.

Sources: Appliances, wall outlets, electronics stores.

Circuit boards and salvaged components from radios, computers, and appliances. Used in advanced devices and vehicle repair.

Sources: Electronics stores, offices, radios, computers.

Medical-grade disinfectant used to prevent and treat infection and sickness from wounds.

Sources: Hospitals, pharmacies, medical cabinets.

Sterile wrap for treating open wounds. More reliable than cloth rags and crucial after zombie encounters.

Sources: Medical cabinets, first aid kits, hospitals, pharmacies.

Soft carbon ore mined from cavern deposits. Used in advanced tool and ammunition crafting.

Sources: Mining nodes inside caverns (e.g. Rook Cavern).

Iron-rich ore mined underground and refined into usable metal stock for higher-tier crafting.

Sources: Mining nodes inside caverns.

Shelf-stable preserved food. The most reliable early hunger source before farming or cooking stations are set up.

Sources: Kitchens, pantries, convenience stores, vending machines.

Sealed drinking water. Thirst kills faster than hunger — treat this as a Day 1 priority pickup.

Sources: Kitchens, stores, vending machines, water sources (purified).

Combustible fuel for vehicles and generators. Siphon from wrecks or find in canisters.

Sources: Vehicle fuel tanks, gas stations, garages.

Spent shell casings collected for reloading ammunition.

Sources: Shooting ranges, military sites, battle debris.

Refined propellant used to assemble ammunition at a crafting bench.

Sources: Military locations, ammo crafting, rare civilian finds.

Loose fasteners used in nearly every construction and fortification recipe.

Sources: Toolboxes, hardware stores, construction sites.

Flexible salvaged rubber from tires and hoses. Used for grips, seals, and vehicle repair.
