Resources

Solarpunk resources reference for logs, sticks, stone, ores, metals, clay, glass, brick, silicon, diamond, electrical parts, and airship tech.

Materials are useful only when the page says what they feed. Use this as the raw-material index for early tools, building materials, power parts, and airship progression.

Name	Use
Log	Basic wood resource used for early crafting, burning, structures, and machines.
Stick	Early quick-craft material and tutorial step; make it before crafting the hoe.
Stone	Basic mined material; mine stones with the pickaxe and use it in early tools and stations.
Leaf	Plant material gathered while clearing greenery; keep some with wood and saplings for early crafting loops.
Wood Waste	Burnable wood byproduct; the tips say most wooden items can be burned.
Clay	Raw material for brick-related crafting and building progression.
Brick	Building material unlocked for brick structures after the brick research path.
Glass	Crafted in the furnace and used for glass building pieces.
Scrap Metal	Metal resource for early machine and utility crafting.
Copper Ore	Ore that smelts into copper for electrical crafting.
Copper	Processed metal used for energy and machine progression.
Iron Ore	Ore that smelts into iron.
Iron	Processed metal used for upgraded tools, rods, and machines.
Cobalt Ore	Advanced ore for later metal progression.
Cobalt	Advanced processed metal for later tools, machines, or upgrades.
Silicon	Electrical material used around solar and electronics progression.
Diamond	Advanced material tied to diamond tools and the diamond achievement.
Quartz Ore	Ore resource tied to later material gathering and water-resource fishing.
Cloth	Basic crafted textile used in beds, docks, furniture, signs, animal tags, and many decoration recipes.
Candle Plate	Small wax-and-stone craft part used in candle decoration recipes.
Cotton Wax	Wax-and-cloth craft part unlocked through the wax briquette path.
Circuit Board	Electrical crafting part used by foresters, detectors, sky turbines, and later powered devices.
Electrical Component	Key electrical part used for power and machine unlocks.
Lost Cargo	Lost cargo from merchant bots; keep it with key-item and exploration storage.

How To Use This Reference

Read resources by what they unlock, not by rarity. Wood and stone keep the first tools moving; clay, brick, glass, and metals change what you can build; silicon and electrical parts matter once energy devices start competing for materials; airship tech components should be reserved for travel progress. If storage fills up, sort resources by system rather than by pickup order.
