Materials: the progression gates

One hub for the materials that decide whether your next trip is progress or a wasted pack.

Short answer

Materials are the game's progression gates. This hub collects the individual material pages so you can answer “where do I find it, what does it unlock, and what should I spend it on?” without rereading a full guide.

Material

Clay

The early progression material: pickaxe, clay piles, base expansion and arsenal upgrades.

Stone pile

Why the pickaxe does not work, what to try instead, and what is still unverified.

How to use this hub

  1. Start with the material you are stuck on. Each page answers one question and links back to the full guide.
  2. Check the “what we do not know” section. We label community-reported details instead of inventing spawn tables.
  3. Return to the crafting guide when you need the full tool and camp-upgrade context.

What we are adding next

Iron rod, leather, goo and stone-pile variants are on the list once we can verify their sources and uses against the current patch. If you have a screenshot from patch 1.0.47.0, the correction page is open.
