Resource Gathering & Extraction

Direct Harvesting from Nature

Quick harvesting is your starting point for gathering materials in SEED. Walk up to any natural resource like trees, rocks, or plants and right-click to harvest.

How Harvesting Works:

1. Left-click any harvestable resource
2. Select "Harvest"
3. Wait for completion - harvesting takes a few seconds
4. Check your inventory - materials go to your personal backpack
5. Automatic storage - items transfer to building storage when you have access (If your Seedling goes to a building with storage, they will automatically deposit their harvested resources)

Harvesting Strategy:

• Plan your trips - harvest multiple resources in one journey
• Watch your inventory - manage backpack space efficiently
• Build harvesting skills - experience improves success rates
• Check resource regeneration - natural resources replenish over time

Automated Resource Extraction

Resource deposits provide unlimited materials but require extraction machines to exploit effectively.

Deposit Types:

• Stone Deposits - require Stone Extractor machines
• Clay Deposits - require Clay Extractor machines
• Water Deposits - require Water Pump extractors
• Iron Ore Deposits - require Iron Ore Extractor machines
• Copper Ore Deposits - require Copper Ore Extractor machines
• Coal Deposits - require Coal Extractor machines

Setting Up Extraction:

1. Build around the deposit - construct a building with outdoor area surrounding the deposit
2. Place the extractor - machine must be positioned directly on top of the deposit
3. Match machine type - Stone Extractor for stone deposits, etc.
4. Optional - Set up sell orders - create market orders to automatically sell extracted resources
5. Enable automation - Seedlings will move resources from machine to storage if sell orders exist

Key Benefits:

• Infinite supply - deposits never run out
• Passive income - automated systems work without constant attention
• Scalable production - operate multiple extractors simultaneously
