Finding resources is how you will spend a large majority of your time in Coral Island. Using them, you can craft new items, build structures, upgrade tools, and much more. However, since most of them are not lying around, you may have some difficulty finding them. But in reality, everything is much simpler than it seems. And to help you, we have combined all the resources and ways to get them into a list.
Resource Groups in Coral Island
Coral Island does have quite a few different resources. But despite this, you will learn them pretty fast after a few hours of play. So, all resources can be divided into four groups:
- General resources – Resources from which you will craft buildings, tools, and equipment.
- Ores and bars – Also resources required for most crafting recipes, but require special processing.
- Kelp and kelp essences – Sea resources necessary for crafting and upgrading the quality of crops.
- Loot – Resources that drop from enemies and have fewer uses.
The first group is the most diverse, as it contains many resources. And each of them has a different method of obtaining. However, in reality, it is much simpler than it seems. Therefore, we have compiled a list of all Coral Island resources and how you can get them.
