Legal Activities/Legal Mining

Legal Mining

There are multiple resources you can legally mine, process, and sell or craft. Some materials require more experience to excavate than others; beginners start with rubies.

Common Resources

	Rubies
	Iron
	Steel
	Earth
	Oil
	Coal

Use a pickaxe to gather raw materials at the mines (or oil rigs). 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.

Sulfur

Sulfur ore can be gathered with a pickaxe at the sulfur mine.

Unlike other resources, sulfur ore cannot be processed in a traditional fashion. However, it can be crafted into gunpowder used in crafting recipes.

Legal Tree Felling

Woodland resources such as rubber and timber must be gathered with an axe, not a pickaxe.

Rubber Trees

Use an axe to harvest rubber at the rubber tree farm. After obtaining unprocessed rubber, you must then process the sap at the rubber processor.

This yields processed rubber that can be sold at the rubber trader or crafted into rubber bars.

Timber

Use an axe to harvest timber at the tree farm. Timber requires no processing; it can be crafted into timber pallets used in crafting recipes.
