Foraging takes many forms. It covers everything from picking up flowers to mining away at rock spots.

Any item you need may be region-specific. If you are after a specific item, then hit ‘esc’ to be sent to the collection menu. From there, use the menu on the left to find ‘foraging’. Click on it. ALl foragable items will be there, and by hovering over the item you want, the game will tell you where to find it and how much it sells for.

Flowers can simply be found and picked, and as long as you have space in your inventory, you can pick it right up.

The crafting materials, however, may need some extra work. Some will be minerals that you must use the Pickaxe to mine away for. Some will require you to dig up the earth using your shovel. Others will just be laying around waiting for you.
