When To Care
Care about Cotton Wax when its linked project is next: tools, building, power, animals, crafting, or airship work. Store it by destination so co-op players know why it matters.
Practical Use
Store Cotton Wax with the system that spends it most often. Sorting by use keeps co-op players from burning time searching generic mixed chests.
Related Strategy
For resource planning, count backwards from the project you want to finish. A power push needs electrical parts and metals, a building push needs processed construction materials, and an airship push needs technical components. That is more useful than hoarding every pickup equally.
Common Mistakes
- Do not leave Cotton Wax in an unsorted dump chest if it feeds an active project; put it beside the station or build area that spends it.
- Do not burn or process a material just because storage is full; first check whether tools, power, building, animal care, or airship work will need it.
- Do not measure value only by rarity. A common material on the right route can save more time than a rare material sitting in the wrong chest.
