Automatic resource breakdown

Loot breaks down into basic resources; crafting ingredients remain separate items.

Good to know

  • Loot follows building type: police stations for military gear, clinics/hospitals for medical, residential buildings and gas stations for printer materials, fire stations for radiation gear, vaults and cash registers for money, bathroom medicine cabinets for bandages.
  • Check every cache, locker, crate and box; loot at places known to house specific items (intel is at your 3D Printer).
  • Resources do not take up Stash slots; their totals show in the bottom-left of the Stash and 3D Printer menus. Every backpack has a separate resource pouch.
