Contributing/Creating Resource Nodes

From Drifters Almanac
Creating a New Resource Node Page

Welcome, Drifter!
This guide will help you create new pages for gathering nodes — including veins, logs, plants, mushrooms, and carcasses that yield harvestable resources.

Steps to Create a New Node Page

1. Create the Page

Use the name of the node exactly as it appears in the game.

2. Use the ResourceNode Template

On the new page, copy/paste the template below.
If you use the Create Center, this structure will be automatically preloaded:

{{ResourceNode
| name = 
| node_image_file = 
| harvesting_profession = 
| harvesting_level = 
| tool_required = 
| location = 
| possible_yield = 
}}
3. Filling Out Details

  • name: Optional. Leave blank to use the page name.
  • node_image_file: Upload a screenshot of the node (omit "File:" prefix).
  • harvesting_profession: The profession used to gather from the node (e.g., Prospector, Hunter, Forester).
  • harvesting_level: Minimum profession level required to gather from this node.
  • tool_required: The tool needed to interact with the node (e.g., Pickaxe). This will link to the corresponding tool category.
  • location: Comma-separated list of zones the node appears in.
  • possible_yield: Comma-separated list of raw materials that can be harvested. Each entry will automatically be linked to its page.
4. Save the Page

Preview your work and save the page!
