Obtaining

Gathering

Only once the gather redstone improvement has been built at an improvement hub, redstone can be gathered by using a gather allay near a redstone vein, which can generate in swamps and jungles. When gathering, the gather allay will fill up the player's redstone storage until either the storage capacity is reached or all redstone within the gather allay's gathering radius has been obtained.

25 redstone is automatically granted to players when they build the gather redstone improvement.

Players passively receive 15 redstone every minute if they have built the large gather redstone improvement at an improvement hub.

In a Custom Game, the amount of redstone veins that generate throughout the world can be increased or decreased during world generation. Once the world has been created this setting cannot be changed again.

Chests

Once the gather redstone improvement has been built, redstone has a chance to be obtained by opening village chests in swamp villages and allay chests.

Capacity

The amount of redstone that can be stored at one time is limited. The maximum redstone capacity is increased every time a gather redstone improvement is built.

Usage

Redstone is used in the spawning of some units and the building of some structures.
