and
Rice guarded by a fierce 
Predator.Natural resources are only the beginning of your Crafting journey. 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) on 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 Region Yields
| 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. |
These are the basic resources you start you also get from most Regions on the map just by claiming them and are used in a huge number of units and buildings including Triumphs which require very large quantities of these. The yield of a region not just determines the passive income they give, but also the efficiency of Farms, Logging Camps, and Stone Pits.
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. Note that you can often select what the Harvesting Improvements does with the resource node. For example a Farm on 
Wheat can make Food, 
Grain, or 
Malt later in the game.
