Gathering and resources
The x5 on what you gather, and where to find resources.
x5 wherever you gather
Everything you gather yourself gives five times more than in vanilla. A rock doesn’t take more hits: every hit and the final bonus give 5 times more.
This covers trees, nodes, bodies (animals, NPCs, players), crops, everything you pick up off the ground and survey charges, as well as mining quarries and pumpjacks, yours as well as the monument ones. The Giant Excavator, fishing and recyclers stay vanilla.
For the first base of a wipe: 4 to 5 trees and 3 to 4 stone nodes are enough for a small stone house.
More metal and sulfur
Metal and sulfur nodes are more common than in vanilla, across the whole map.
Oil barrels
Red oil barrels also give five times more crude oil and low grade fuel when you break them. A good source of low grade fuel early in the wipe.
