Coral Island is a fresh and lively farming RPG set on a vibrant tropical island. There’s so much for players to do once they settle down and learn the ropes of building and crafting items. As such, players will spend a large majority of their time finding resources.

The tropical island is home to plenty of unique and valuable resources. Some of these are found lying around, but others are not that simple to find. Islanders can obtain many resources by mining rocks, diving underwater, logging wild trees, or processing raw materials with special equipment. This guide comprises a complete list of all the resources in Coral Island and how players can get them.
