Resource Nodes & Gathering

A little planning goes a long way when gathering bits! ♡

Learn how resource nodes work, how to gather bits, and how node taxes affect your earnings.

✦
✦

✦ 01・WHAT ARE RESOURCE NODES?

Resource Nodes determine which type of bits your assigned workers gather.

Different nodes produce different resources, such as flowers, stone, and iron. These bits can be used for morphing cards and purchasing certain frames.

▸ Viewing available nodes:

FULL COMMANDk!nodes
SHORT COMMANDkn

The node list also displays current tax rates.

✦

◈ 02・UNDERSTANDING NODE TAXES

Each node has a tax rate, which determines how much of your gathered resources is deducted.

For example, if you gather 100 bits from a node with a 10% tax rate, you'll keep 90 bits.

  • Lower taxes: You keep more of your gathered bits.
  • Higher taxes: A larger portion goes to the clan controlling the node.
  • Gold node: Has a fixed 50% tax rate.

※ Tip: If you aren't gathering a specific resource, choosing a node with a lower tax rate can help maximize your earnings.

⌖ 03・GATHERING YOUR BITS

Once your workers and resource nodes are assigned, you can begin gathering.

▸ Starting work:

FULL COMMANDk!work
SHORT COMMANDkw

Your assigned workers gather resources based on their effort, with node taxes deducted from the results.

▸ Viewing your bits:

FULL COMMANDk!bits
SHORT COMMANDkbi

Bits are added to your inventory when you work, so you don't need to collect them separately.

◇ 04・IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW

  • Node tax rates can change depending on which clan controls them.
  • Workers can become injured while gathering, reducing their effectiveness.
  • Working has a cooldown, so you cannot gather continuously.
