How to get Brittle Marble Shard

"Brittle Marble Shard" iconBrittle Marble Shards are obtained either by mining rocks or by finding it in shard form. It’s likely that your first encounter with these shards will be with picking them up from the Hedge Lab resource room. But you can also obtain it from smashing rocks found around the map, especially in caves. The shards can also be occasionally found in chests in labs and the surrounding areas.

How to Get Sap

"Sap" iconSap is a sticky yellow goo that can be found all over branches, particularly around Oak Hill. You can also find lots of sap on the shelves in the Oak Lab.

Once you possess a hammer you can also obtain them from large globs of Sap. And later on, you could even make a Sap Catcher to collect sap from the comfort of your base!

Sap can be found in the Oak Lab as well as out in the open.

How to Craft Crude Rope

"Crude Rope" iconCrude Ropes can be crafted by hand using x3 "Plant Fiber" iconPlant Fiber per Crude Rope. Plant Fibers can be obtained from picking small, low-lying plants which can be found all over the ground. And before you can make Crude Rope, you’ll need to first analyze Plant Fiber at the Resource Analyzer to unlock the recipe.
