What is filled in
Fandom’s resource category is the spine: unrefined, refined, upgrade parts, tools, ingredients, food, a liquid, animal chow, seeds, fuel and a special pile. Counts overlap because some items are filed twice, and the wiki also duplicates Engine and Engines, Treated Plank and Treated Planks. I added Rotor, Eel-ectronics and Fish Oil, which do not have a usable standalone wiki page. Thirty-seven of the 77 have a numeric weight. Examples I will quote: Electric Scrap 1, Plastic Waste 1, Seaweed 2, Dry Wood 3, Wet Wood 4, Metal Scrap 5, Metal Plates 7. Pletal’s weight is a question mark on the wiki, so the cell stays blank rather than becoming zero.
Five names have enough of their own story for a page: Aluminum Scrap, Eel-ectronics, Rotor, Electric Scrap and Metal Scrap. Treated Plank, Pletal and Fish Oil do not. Their recipes or locations are missing, so they remain rows. Whether nodes respawn is not documented. I will not answer that with a guess.

Blank cells mean no public source was found. They are not estimates. Checked 2026-11-07.
Status counts source families for the row, rather than confirmations of every field. Expand it for provenance. The wiki and its derivative codex count as one family. Cost sorting compares the written material lists alphabetically; unknown values stay last in either order.
Questions
Do resources respawn?
Not documented in the sources used here. The cell stays blank.
Where is treated plank?
It is a row in this table. The crafting building and the counts are unpublished, so it does not get a page.
