Mining
There are multiple resources you can legally mine, process, and sell or craft. Some materials require more experience to excavate than others.
In most cases, after obtaining the unprocessed goods, you must then refine them at their corresponding processing sites. The processor will deduct a fee per backpack processed. The final products can then be sold to traders, exporters, or other islanders.
Look out for matching icons across the map for gathering points, processors, and traders to help locate sites. You can use the navigation app to search for locations.
Minable Resources
Use a pickaxe to gather these legal raw materials at the mines (or oil rigs).
Coal - Level 0 - Beginners start with coal as it require no mining level. Gathered at the Coal Mine, processed at the Coal Processor. | |
Earth - Level 5 - Mining at the earth mine, you will occasionally find "metal" which is used in crafting recipes. | |
Steel - Level 10 - Gathered at the Steel Mine, processed at the Steel Processor. | |
Oil - Level 10 - Oil differs from the previous runs as it is gathered at off-shore oil rigs. It can be refined at the Oil Processor back on land. |
Upgraded Pickaxes
Are you looking for a more efficient mining experience? Craft a higher-tier pickaxe from ingots that can be occasionally obtained by mining at various sites. For each pickaxe, you need to acquire a certain level of mining and crafting to see and craft the pickaxe's recipe and be able to craft it.
Bronze Pickaxe - Bronze ingots can only be mined with a regular pickaxe at the ??? mine. The Bronze pickaxe requires 12 bronze ingots and 10 timber pallets. |
Cobalt Pickaxe - Cobalt ingots can only be mined at the ??? mine with any tier pickaxe. The Cobalt pickaxe requires 12 cobalt ingots and 10 timber pallets. |
Vibranium Pickaxe - Vibranium ingots can only be mined at the earth mine using any tier pickaxe. The Vibranium pickaxe requires 12 Vibranium ingots and 10 oak pallets. |
Demonic Steel Pickaxe - Demonic steel can only be mined at the steel mine using any tier pickaxe. The Demonic Steel pickaxe requires 12 demonic steel and 10 teak pallets. |
Starmetal Pickaxe - Starmetal ingots can only be obtained from meteorites using any tier pickaxe. Mining meteorite fragments is illegal, but possessing the Starmetal pickaxe itself is not against the law. The Starmetal pickaxe requires 5 Starmetal ingots and 28 carbon fibre. |
Tree Felling
Use an axe to harvest at tree farms, not a pickaxe.
Varieties of Wood
The main wood type is timber. Other wood varieties can be gathered as rarer drops of tree farming. The different varieties of wood are used in crafting recipes found in a workbench menu. Notably, oak, teak, and mahogany are used exclusively for carpentry; some recipes call for processed or unprocessed wood. Crafted furniture can be sold at furniture stores.
Timber - Timber cannot be processed but it can be crafted into timber pallets. | |
Oak - Dropped rarely at the Timber Farm. | |
Teak - Dropped rarely at the Timber Farm. | |
Mahogany - Dropped rarely at the Timber Farm. | |
Rubber - Dropped rarely at the Timber Farm. |
Port Contracts
Port export contracts are a bulk sale option for some minable resources. Export contracts can offer a greater price for large quantities delivered to the port within the selected time frame.
Use the sign at the port or speak to a port employee about available contracts. You will pay a small fee of typically a few thousand dollars for contract signing. You can choose any combination of the three quantities and time scales for your contract. For example, you might select a small contract of 1300 units of processed coal for completion within 34 hours at a rate of 120% payout. Your selection will impact the signing fee.
Ensure you read the terms and conditions of your contract before accepting. You will not receive a payout for anything less than 100% of what you agreed to export. You will not receive anything if your contract expires.
A maximum of 10 contracts can be active on the island at any time.
History
Removed Runs
In the New York Life 7.5 Update, runs were consolidated and ruby, iron, and aluminium mines were removed. Notably, ruby's role as the beginners first run was replaced by coal. Unlike ruby, coal holds more value for weapons crafters, encouraging player-to-player sales earlier on. Aluminium could not be sold or crafted with; the mine was solely used for gathering bronze ingots.
The 7.5 Update also saw Oak, Teak, Mahogany, and Rubber Farms removed. The resources can instead be gathered as rare items while felling regular timber.
