Natural Resources is the first of the two types of Resources you will encounter. This type of Resource doesn't require synthiesizing to be obtained, but are gathered by Raiding, Mining, and/or simply clicking on them. The maximum production rate per hour of each resource is capped by dungeon. Gold and Research are capped at 12,000, Food at 6,000, and all other resources at 3000 per hour. Beyond the first few resouces, additional Technology is required to gather Natural Resources.
Gold, Iron, and Crystal can be mined from a Mining Node or raided from either other player's dungeons or Overworld Settlements, and 1 mining node of each of these three exist in your Starter Dungeon. As it is mined, your resources will accumulate in Stacks for you to gather by clicking on them. Gold stacks accumulate on the floor of your Vault and when clicked on, is automatically stored in your vault. There is no limit to the amount of Gold you can store at one time and is available to be used in any of your dungeons without further actoin. Iron and Crystal stacks accumulate on the floor of your Mine and when clicked on, will be packaged and one of your goblins will carry it to your Storage Room. The maximum storage of Iron or Crystal will be limited by the size and level of your Storage Room and will only be available for use in the dungeon they are stored. If you want to use it in another dungeon, you will have to Transfer it.
Research and Food are simply collected by clicking on the resource stack in the appropriate room. Research is generated by your Warlocks and Liches in your Library. As it is generated it, Research stacks accumulate on the floor of your Library and when clicked on, will be packaged and one of your goblins will carry it to your Vault. There is no limit to the amount of Research you can store at one time and is available for you to learn new Technology from any dungeon or the Overworld. Food will automatically gather in stacks on the floor of your Farm and when clicked on, will be packaged and one of your goblins will carry it to your Tavern.

The maximum storage of Leather will be limited by the size and level of your Storage Room and will only be available for use in the dungeon is is stored. If you want to use it in another dungeon, you will have to Transfer it.
All other Natural Resources require you to learn a Technology before you are able to mine them. You will also have to Survey Expansion Dungeons to find one that has a mining node of the resource you are looking for. Once you find them, you will need to take control of the dungeon or use Remote Mining to be able to mine them
These additional Natural Resources come in 3 subcategories, Primordial Elements, Gemstones, and Ores. As mined, Primordial Elements will accumulate stacks on the floor of your Mine and when clicked on, will be packaged and one of your goblins will carry it to your Elements Confine. The maximum storage of each will be limited by the size and level of your Elements Confine and will only be available for use in the dungeon they are stored.
