A **Region** with **Temperate Grassland**
with a natural yield of 4, 1, 2, and 2.
Also shown is a Ruins Cache
and Rice guarded by a fierce Predator.

Some resources need a specific Technology before the map will reveal them. For example you need to research Animal Husbandry before the icons for Pigs and Wild Horses show up. However if you happen to zoom in far enough you can visually see these animals even before the game gives them an icon on your UI.

The game is not very consistent (as of Patch 1.0.3) when resource icons appear nor does it indicate this anywhere. For example the Animal Husbandry technology enables you to harvest both Pigs and Wild Llamas but the latter already has an icon on the map for it.

Basic Resources

These are the most basic resources that will remain relevant throughout the game:

	Food		Primarily obtained via Farms and it's upgrades.
	Wealth		Hunting Camps are only a modest source of Wealth early on.
	Timber		Logging Camps and it's upgrades are a great source of Timber.
	Materials		Stone Pits and it's upgrades are a great source of Materials.

Note that Regions on the map have a natural yield of these resources that you get just by claiming them. On top of that this yield not just determines the passive income they give, but also the efficiency of Farms, Logging Camps, and Stone Pits. If you plan on building a Triumph early on be prepared to gather a large quantity of these.

Resource Nodes

Besides the 4 basic resources outlined above, there are a large number of resources in specific Zones within Regions. In order to harvest these you have to build the appropriate Harvesting Improvements (Farms, Fishing Nets, etc) on top of that node. You can often select what the Harvesting Improvements does with the resource node.
For example a Farm on Rice can be set to make Food, Grain (Stored, for use in Crafting), or later in the game Malt.

Farms and it's upgrades
Node	Outputs		Spawns in	Guide
Rice		Food 25 Grain 100 (Starter Tech) Malt 100 Brewing	Tropical Forest, Temperate Grasslands, Tropical Rainforest, Mediterranean	At least one of these should be close to where you spawned. They allow you to put Grain in a Granary which allow you to create Grain Stores which are an excellent starter amenity for your cities allowing them to grow much faster.
Wheat		Grain 100 (Starter Tech) Malt 60 (Brewing)	Savanna, Temperate Grassland
Barley		Grain 125 (Starter Tech)	Savanna, Temperate Grassland
Corn		Grain 150 (Starter Tech)	Savanna, Temperate Grassland
