Description[]

There are many types of deposit that can be found on your Home Island

Deposit Types[]

Below is a list of all the deposit types which can be harvested on your Home Island, along with the building which harvests the deposit.

For maximum efficiency, and flow of resources, the building should be placed close to the deposit, and close to a Storehouse. The 'Number' column tells you how many of that deposit type can be found on the Home Island, and 'Geologist' column will show a tick if a Geologist is required to find the deposit.

Natural Deposits[]

Natural Deposits are always found on the map, but can become depleted, but never completely removed. When the deposit count reaches zero, the deposit stays, and can be replenished at any time.

Other Deposits[]

The following deposits were never actually added to the game, yet during the early days of the Beta, the Geologist menu had possible searches for these if the player reached the impossible level 52. They were removed from the game before the search was ever enabled. The resources below are therefore only available as rewards from Adventures.
