Mining & gathering reference

Compare every captured resource-node table by material yield, listed phase value and map coverage. Use the item links to connect a mining goal to its recipes.

How to use this comparison

Built from the October 12, 2026 reference snapshot, build 0.44.2.4634-milestone, with the source-dated corrections identified beside affected yields. Each group is ordered by its value’s lower bound, highest first; overlapping ranges do not establish a strict winner. Map counts measure captured points, not availability, safety or travel time.

Listed yield value = amount × item reference trade value, conditional on the listed yield. Plain yield tables supply no chance or harvest count. Final yields remain separate: matching asset names identify related tables, but do not establish how often each phase runs or justify adding the amounts together. Tool requirements are shown only when recorded.

Compare sources of the same material before using value across different materials. This table does not rank yield per hit, minute or tool durability.

Values are reference trade values in Bucks, not merchant payouts. Bucks are counted at face value. “Most valuable finds” ranks the maximum value of one positive entry’s stack, not its likelihood or the whole opening.
