Ore & Mining Locations: What We Know
The strongest verified hint comes from the official 1.0 description: the island's foggy depths hold rich mineral veins, rare treasures and ancient ruins — that is where mining-grade resources are officially described to live.
- Iron Ore — the most-searched mining material in launch-week data ('iron ore location' is a top query). Players report mining it in the foggy depths, matching the official hint.
- The 1.0 description also mentions rare treasures and ancient ruins in those depths, which players associate with mining-grade loot.
Exact ore node positions, respawn timers and coordinates are not officially documented. This section only lists what is sourced; everything else waits for cross-checking.
Expanding your land
'How to expand farm/land/house' and 'buy more land' are repeated searches. Land expansion exists in some form but the exact requirements are community-reported; details land here once verified.
Save files and cloud saves
Steam Cloud support is officially listed, so saves sync across devices on Steam. The local save-folder path is community-reported and only included once we can reproduce it.
