During the player protagonist’s journey in Harvestella, adventurers will be tasked with making a Feed Maker using Lumber and Rusty Metal. As its name suggests, the Feed Maker is essential for feeding one’s farm livestock, such as Cluffowls or Woolums. Without this device, players will be unable to gather the valuable resources their animals produce. Accordingly, knowing how to obtain Lumber and Rusty Metal to craft the Feed Maker is essential for progression as a farmer. Lumber is acquired from Gathering nodes near trees found throughout the world, but players might need clarification as to how or where Rusty Metal is obtained.Â
Farming Rusty Metal in Harvestella
Rusty Metal is primarily obtained from two sources in Harvestella. The first source is Mining nodes found near rocks, enabling players to collect various resources, such as Monolite Fragments or Rusty Metal. These stone nodes can be encountered within the Bird’s Eye Brae starting area and other regions like Njord Steppe and Higan Canyon.

How to Get Lumber in Harvestella
Prima Games states that multiple Rusty Metal nodes can be found in the Small Field, the zone connected to the player farm. This area also contains a variety of useful resources that players can gather to get a jumpstart on their adventure. Most of these nodes will refresh every in-game day, so fans should make sure to have Gathering and Mining as activities scheduled into their daily routine. Chests can also yield Rusty Metal, but the loot is dependent on RNG, causing it to be an unreliable source for this material.Â
The second source of Rusty Metal in Harvestella is enemy mobs, such as the scorpion-like Crawler. According to the Harvestella Wiki, these giant insectoid monsters can be found in Higan Canyon and will drop Copper Ore, Rusty Metal, and Natural Picks when defeated. These beasts are weak to magic attacks imbued with Ice and Water, but their tough shells make them resistant to Fire. Therefore, be sure to equip the right abilities before attempting to take down these opponents. If players are looking to gain both experience and Rusty Metal, farming Crawlers is a great way to spend one’s time efficiently. However, those who prefer a more laid-back approach to gather Rusty Metal can focus on interacting with nodes in the Small Field.
Harvestella is available for PC and Nintendo Switch.
