One of the more important resources you’ll need early on when building things in Towers of Aghasba is Resin. However, if you’re not sure where to look, it can be ab it tricky hunting down and gathering enough of it to get anything down. Here is how to get Resin in Towers of Aghasba and what it’s used for.
Where to get Resin
You can acquire Resin in Towers of Aghasba by harvesting Resin Fir Trees. However, when you first start the game, there are no natural Resin Fir Trees. To unlock them, you need to first climb up the nearby rocky outcropping and speak to Pawel. He will then give you a seed for a Colossal Tree also known as the King Tree.
Head at least 100m away from the farming village post you put down, and you will be able to plan the Colossal Tree. Make sure it’s in the Temperate Climate. Doing so will drop down a massive tree and then change the brush and foliage in a big circle around the area. This is now a biome specific to the Colossal Tree. After a few minutes, you’ll notice three large black seeds have grown at the top of the Colossal Tree.
Climb up the tree and hit the ‘E’ key to collect the Temperate Seeds growing at the top of the seed. Go into your inventory and find the Temperate Seeds and hit ‘F’ to “use” the Temperate Seed which will now let you plan it. Plant them near the Colossal Tree as they require the same biome as the tree in order to grow.
Once planted it will take two minutes for the Temperate Seed to fully grow. After growing, it will turn into either normal brush that you can collect for Fibers, or into a Resin Fir Tree. You can then use a Stone Axe or better and hold the ‘E’ key at the Resin Fir Tree to chop it down which will reward you with Resin. The Resin Fir Trees do not regrow, so you will have to plant more Temperate Seeds in the biome near the Colossal Tree to get them.
What to use Resin for
After you have acquired a single Resin, you can head back to the farming village post you constructed and interact with it to add your Resin to the building materials and complete building the village post. This will spawn the actual farming village and add new buildings and NPCs for you to interact with, as well as complete the Establish Our First Village quest that requires you to build the farming village tower.
After constructing the farming village, you will still need Resin to craft various buildings as you progress through Towers of Aghasba. Therefore, it’s recommended you continue to make sure you have Resin Fir Trees growing at the Colossal Tree in case you need easy access to more Resin in the future to build whatever you may need. In later biomes further in the game, Resin Fir Trees may be found growing on their own in the wild.
