In general, there are four basic types of resource that are somewhat valuable in the Outlook. Tribes will hunt and scavenge for these but there is no real scarcity to speak of.

Tokens

Shiny circular tokens can be found in the entire Outlook, but mainly in the vicinity of the Citadel. These come with a variety of pictures. These can be used in a variety of machines around the citadel in exchange for food, weapon, clothes and other finished items. It seems that AIs also like tokens.

Tokens phys-reps are Ducatto coins.

Food

Organic resource. The unit of food is enough to feed a small band of followers for a week so they can focus on doing something else with their time. Food can also be used to empower communions.

Scrap

Inorganic Resource. Various technological debris that can be used by clever persons to craft AI housings or armour, repair broken machines etc. Scrap can also be used to empower rituals.

Reagents

These are very versatile, useful items that can empower medical procedures and mutations.

Advanced resources

These are unique resources, organic or inorganic that may be used in place of the basic counterparts. They usually have a much bigger effect.
