Stranded: Alien Dawn - Resources
Plants
When starting a new game your first priority should be to find and observe these plants:
- Bright-leaved flower = Clothblossom
- Tall leafy plant = Graincob or
- Tall grass = Grain grass
Next observe any plants that produces food:
- Berry plant = Beefberries
- Orange mushrooms = Glittercap
- Peculiar bush = Fruit bush
- Squash-like plant = Buttermelon
- Tube plant = Heptagonia
Third priority is to observe these plants:
- Densely-leafed plant = Chew root
- Pointy red plant = Siliconleaf
- Twisted plant = Skinbark
- Wide-leafed plant = Smokeleaf
Finally observe trees, bushes and grass:
- Big broadleaf tree (30 wood)
- Broadleaf bush (sticks)
- Evergreen tree (20 wood)
- Giant grass (hay)
- Small broadleaf tree (20 wood)
Notice: Most plants should be planted in Loam soil in order to gain 100% harvest. Heptagonia is an exception as it prefers Gravel soil, which can be found near rocks or mountains.

![]() | Fruit bush Peculiar bush | Produces Bushfruits (food + wine). |
![]() | Siliconleaf Pointy red plant | Produces Silicon used for crafting Electronics and CPU cores at a Soldering bench. Low priority when starting a new camp but become important later. |
![]() | Skinbark Twisted plant | Produces Veggie leather that can be crafted into clothes at a Tailor bench. |
![]() | Smokeleaf Wide-leafed plant | Produces Raw smokeleaf which can be used for Smokeleaf tea or it can be dried at a drying rack into Dried smokeleaf and then used for creating Smokeleaf pipe at a workbench, which improves Happiness. |
![]() | Heptagonia Tube plant | Produces Sweet Syrup (food). Plant in Gravel soil which is located near rocks or mountains. |
![]() | Blade grass | Can be cut into Hay. Blade grass is green in early spring but get yellow/orange later. |
![]() | Giant grass | Can be cut into Hay. |
![]() | Bushes | Can be cut into Sticks. Can be either Big or Small. |
![]() | Evergreen trees | Can be cut into Wood. Can be either Big or Small. |
![]() | Broadleaf trees | Can be cut into 30 Wood. Can be either Big (30 wood) or Small (20 wood). |
Animals
Notice: After you kill an animal you also have to butcher it to retrieve the raw meat. Also remember to collect the hides from Ulfen and dry them at a drying rack in order to create leather.
![]() | Bonecrusher | Raw poultry meat + Hide Peaceful carnivore. |
![]() | Bonepicker Red-feathered bird | Raw poultry meat |
![]() | Drakka Flat-head Animal | Raw red meat. Peaceful herbivore. |

Minerals
You can mine Stone, Ore, Silicon and Carbon Nanotubes from these resources:
![]() | Nest Formation | Carbon Nanotubes. Be careful – the nest will be protected by aggressive animals! |
![]() | Ore Deposit Interesting rock | Ore – can be smelted into Metal alloys ; however you can ignore this if you have planty of Scrap metal. |
![]() | Silicon Deposit Shiny Rock | Silicon – however it is easier to farm Silicon from Siliconleaf. |
![]() | Small rock chunk | Stone |
