Items, materials and Dew
Early materials, refined goods, quest items, collectibles and the storage caps that catch new players.
Dew is the currency, salvage is the early material supply, and Scrambled Coordinates are the Adventure key. The full item database is not published; this page covers the categories and the specific items we can source.
The item categories that matter
| Category | Examples | What it is for |
|---|---|---|
| Salvage materials | Plastic discards, screws, metal scraps, tires, scrap wood, scrap wire | Early crafting, station repairs and the battery upgrade |
| Gathered materials | Clay, Portobello mushrooms, cotton, wild plants | Crafting, refining and storage-cap pressure |
| Refined goods | Copper Bar, Aluminium Bar, Mushroom Leather | Craft inputs and Dew through the shipping bin |
| Food and crops | Lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, pineapples, cherries, sugar | Cooking, selling and demo rewards |
| Quest items | Scrambled Coordinates, item fragments, Bloom | Adventures, quest steps and collection rewards |
| Collectibles | Datapads, clothing fragments, Demo Banner | Lore, cosmetics and Collections |
| Currency | Dew | Seeds, permits and shop purchases |
Dew: where it comes from, where it goes
Dew comes from selling crops, cooked food and refined bars through the shipping bin on your plot, plus Community Farm rewards. Shift+click moves a whole stack. Dew is spent on seeds from Hazel and permits from Amani. The beta economy is deliberately time-gated: crops and refining run on real-time timers, so the best money strategy is usually to start a batch and go do something else.
| Item | Input | Output / value | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Copper Bar | 5 Copper Scraps | Sells for 55 Dew | About 30 seconds to refine |
| Aluminium Bar | Bauxite ore | Sells for 55 Dew | Same sale value as copper |
| Mushroom Leather | Portobello Mushrooms | Battery upgrade input | About 30 seconds each |
| Fruit Smoothie | Sugar 5 Dew + cherries | Sells for 20 Dew | Demo; cherries cannot sell raw |
| Carrot Soup | 2 Carrots | Sells for 45 Dew | Beta; 40 Dew raw value |
| Chef Salad | Egg + lettuce + tomato | Sells for 55 Dew | Beta |
Quest items
Scrambled Coordinates are the clearest example. They are the item you need to start Adventures, each run costs 3, and Ryder’s introductory quest rewards 15. The community drop guide lists 13 known sources: 12 gathering or salvage nodes and the Daily Goodies Chest. The chest only supplies coordinates after Ryder’s intro quest, and it gives 3–5. Cella’s Key Shop sells them for 30 Dew each, but that shop is tied to “The Real Treasure” side quest.
Item fragments combine after you collect enough pieces; the 21 October patch fixed fragments staying uncombined. Bloom and Scrambled Coordinates from the Daily Goodies Chest unlock after Ryder’s intro Adventure quest. These are demo behaviours, not a complete quest-item list.
Collectibles and collections
Datapads are butterfly-marked lore collectibles tracked in Collections. Clothing fragments come from Community Farm rewards and other activities; beta outfit requirements include 10 fragments for the Meadow Blouse and 5 for the Meadow Shoes. The demo’s exclusive rewards are the Demo Banner, Pebble Chair (invite one friend) and Pebble Couch (invite two).
The 23 October patch removed placeholder rarity icons from some items. That is a good reminder that item rarity presentation is still in flux; we do not publish a rarity tier list.
Storage caps
One storage chest sorts everything into categories automatically. Items have caps — 20 Clay was an early example — and the Expanded Chest perk raises them. If you are hoarding salvage for a station upgrade, check the cap before you fill your inventory with a material you cannot store.
