the only thing I felt was a chore was iron and rocks. Rocks because I needed literally 5000 or so for my exotic home. Iron because of design.

Things like raspberries. I've plucked every meadow for a country mile, but they are in tons of recipes. Honey is another. I'm something like 130 hours in and have only found two queens. Thistles are another. Tired of fighting trolls to get a couple of thistles. And of course, Iron. But I loathe the swamp biome, so it's even worse. I simply don't want to be bothered so I debugmoded my way through to the wishbone. But the mountains mean frost resist mead- which means more thistles, honey and time watching the fermenter gurgle. All for 50 minutes of resistance. Copper lodes are clear in one pass, so no point even building a path. Feathers are in constant short supply. I've only barely started in the mountains, so we'll see what's short next.

Everything respawns, mark your berries on the map so you can gather them again later on. Same goes for bees.

Feethers are easy to accumulate if you kill birds, they also drop from trees pretty often. Thistle is everywhere in the swamps and black forest, same as the other materials you can mark it on your map (eventho I find it pretty easy to find as is).

And if you loathe the swamp biome you're kinda screwed tbh, this is one of the most ressource heavy place in the entire game.

THen again, don't play survival building games without expecting some grind.
