Resources

RimWorld makes use of a handful of different resources. Resources have to be hauled to the Stockpile area in order to be used anywhere in your base.

Current available resources are listed below. Template:Clr

Money

Money is only used for trading. You get money when you sell other resources, weapons or people as slaves, and you can spend money to buy other resources, weapons and slaves to become new colonists. There is no maximum limit to the amount of money, but traders always have a limited budget.

Raw food

Raw food is extracted from plants, either wild plants when there no growing going on, potato plants grown in the Growing area , or accele-potato plants grown on a Hydroponics table. Raw food can be traded.

Metal
