[GUIDE] Nemo's Beginner's guide to resource placement
Howdy - this is just a simple guide of where the resource are located. Hopefully it will help you in placing your building and storage house.
*the resources mainly are:
- stone, fir wood, fish (basic)
- copper (intermediate)
- marble, hardwood, iron, coal, gold, meat (advanced)
stone color is a bit black-ish, while the marbles a bit white-ish
due to difficulties to show meat/fish -> most of time it won't appear in the snapshot
for fir wood = dark colored trees, hardwood = light colored trees (easy to spot eh?)
1st is the overall map:

the island of your base is separated into 9 region. in simple sense like this:
7 | 8 | 9
---------------------------
6 | 5 | 4
---------------------------
1 | 2 | 3
u start from the region number 1 -
here's the snapshot with the mines and sources -

stone source: 4
marble source: 2 (can only have 1 active at a time)
fir wood and fish (6) are abundant
Area 2:

copper source: 3 (in snapshot -> have 3 mines on it - the one in south)
gold source: 3 (north of copper)
meat source: 4
fir wood and hard wood
Area 3:

iron source: 3
marble source: 2
meat source: 2
lots of hard wood, fish source
(fish and meat /fir/hardwood -> won't be mentioned in the next areas.. since to troublesome XD haha)
Area 4:

iron source: 3
Area 5:

marble source: 2
stone source: 4 (3 active)
iron source: 3 (2 active) <- not sure..

that's all folks!
the areas you will go with most likely will be: 1 -> 6 -> 2 -> 7 -> 3 .. well.. check out the difficulty of the camps...
hopefully it will help you out when u start.
Quick TIPS:
* and whenever you conquer new region/area send out geologist as often as possible until all the source are discovered - (after all discovered, next search will result in failure)
* fish and meat are replenish able using provision house (don't worry if it runs until 0 - u can still refill it in the same spot, it won't disappear)
* all mines can be rediscovered with geologist in the same location with exception of some that are not active all the time (so no need worry when you run out - just send out geologist to re-discover it again)
* using gems, u can purchase the mine refill thus u can avoid rebuilding the mines - worth considering when the mine building cost become very expensive
* build store house close to the source to shorten the production time/cycle
* check out the production chain ratios to help you manage your resource production
