Resources
Base resources are the foundation of everything you craft in FuelCraft. They accrue passively over time and are used in all crafting recipes.
Base Resources
Every player generates five base resources at fixed rates:
| Resource | Accrual Rate | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Water | 8 / hr | The most abundant resource, used in nearly every recipe. |
| Wood | 6 / hr | A versatile material for structures and T1 crafting. |
| Coal | 5 / hr | Used primarily in industrial and military recipes. |
| Clay | 6 / hr | Essential for bricks and residential buildings. |
| Sand | 5 / hr | Key ingredient for glass and knowledge-chain items. |
Accrual System
Resources accrue continuously in real time, even while you are offline. The accrual rate is fixed and identical for all players. There are no upgrades or boosts that change your base accrual rates.
Resource Cap
Each resource has a maximum storage cap. Once you hit the cap, that resource stops accruing until you spend or collect it. Check your dashboard regularly to avoid wasting accrued resources.
Using Resources
Resources are consumed when you craft items. Each recipe requires a specific combination of base resources. Higher-tier recipes require T1 or T2 materials that are themselves crafted from base resources.
