The bounty of the Downbelow! Gathering and resources

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hello, Tamers! On another end-of-the-week entry We’re making sure we cover the entire gameplay loop in Temtem: Pioneers, so today we’ll be talking about the gathering of resources and the many ways to use them you’ll have!

Resources are a key piece in your Downbelow journey, and they’re the fuel for everything you do! Want to create Trinkets? They’re crafted with resources. Want to capture Temtem? TemCards are also crafted with resources. Want to have a Mount? The saddle is crafted with resources, and so forth and so forth!

Resources cover a wide array of items: there’s wood, stones, crystals, ores, mushrooms, berries… A single element can drop different types of resources, too, like a bush dropping fiber and berries.

Some of the resources you find in the Downbelow can be simply picked up from the ground without the need of a tool, but many will require a tool before they can be farmed. Take a look at some of the beautiful drops you can find across this wild world!


The poop is the most popular resource in our company at the moment

As for actually gathering, picking them up from the ground is simple enough, but the ones that require tools also have a gathering minigame associated.
You’ll see some focus points, and if you manage to successfully hit most of those, you’ll get a multiplier on the resources obtained. You can totally ignore this minigame if you’re in no rush and want to farm them relaxedly, but for those looking to optimize their gathering this is the way!
We can’t show you the farming minigame in action yet, as it’s not complete, but we’ll promise to showcase it in the future!

Your tool matters! You’ll start off with the most basic of tools, but you’ll have to improve them if you want to be able to farm higher-level resources! And what will you need to improve your tools? You guessed it: resources.


Big axe... small axe...

The resources dropped after using a tool against an element will magically pick themselves up and go straight into your inventory! Keep an eye on your inventory, though, as it can be filled and you won’t be able to pick new items if this happens!

Your Temtem will help you with the gathering! They will hit the element alongside you, speeding up the process a little. Isn’t this very cool and cute?

Watch on YouTube

That covers the “gathering, to improving, to using” cycle, and we believe we didn’t leave anything out, but if you have any questions let us know in the comments and we’ll do our best to answer them if we can!

Chatting about the pink poop is encouraged in our Discord server >:)
And if you can, please add Temtem: Pioneers to your Steam or Epic Games Store wishlist! It's the next best thing after backing the game ːtemloveː
