Resource recovery table
| Item Type | Typical Base Returns | Lost on Upgrades |
|---|---|---|
| Weapons | Nails, copper/iron ingots, wood | Rare ingots (e.g., tumbaga) |
| Armor | Leather, cloth, metal scraps | Enhancement materials |
| Tools | Wood, stone, basic metals | Specialized upgrades |
Break down looted junk like pirate swords or outdated armor immediately to generate nails and copper without extra mining. Prioritize this after early quests to fuel further crafting, keeping your base organized and progression smooth.
Essential tips for gear management
Build the table right after unlocking to handle loot from camps and ruins. Avoid tossing items near bonfires, as they persist; use the table instead for full base material recovery. This keeps stamina focused on exploration rather than grinding rocks.
Mastering disassembly turns excess gear into a steady resource pipeline, freeing inventory for vital loot and accelerating base upgrades.
