# Gathering Resources

Resources in the game world can be collected from resource deposits (resource nodes), slain mobs, and other avatars' corpses.

Resource nodes are objects in the game world containing resources. They come in different quality tiers, and after production launches, corresponding tools will be required for them. The collection process itself is called scanning.

### Loot and Scanning

From a killed mob, you'll be able to not only collect loot but also scan its body using a tool. Scanning takes some time, during which the player cannot perform other actions.
