Dredge: How to Farm Lumber, Metal Scraps, and Cloth Fast

Lumber, Metal Scraps, and Bolts of Cloth are very important items in Dredge, and players will need to obtain them in large quantities if they hope to fully upgrade their vessels. While fans will undoubtedly encounter these upgrade materials simply by exploring the map, there is a trick that can be used to farm an unlimited amount of them from a single spot. This guide is here to detail that trick, which will allow players to quickly accumulate a ton of Lumber, Metal Scrap, and Cloth in Dredge.

Dredge: Upgrade Parts Farm

Players that are interested in farming upgrade materials should set their sights on Steel Point to the north of Greater and Little Marrow. Just to the north of this location's dock, players will find three spots that can be dredged for two pieces of Lumber, four Metal Scraps, and two Bolts of Cloth. For the sake of full clarity, these dredge locations have been indicated on the image that is below, and fans of fishing video game s should clear all the spots that contain an upgrade part that they need.

After depleting the dredge spots that are of interest, players should dock at any dock, enter the pause menu, and select "save and quit" at the bottom of the screen. Upon reaching the main menu, fans should simply select continue to return to gameplay, and they will find that all the Steel Point dredge locations have been refilled. Indeed, Dredge players can now do another round of dredging, execute the reload process again, and repeat these steps until they have obtained sufficient amounts of Lumber, Metal Scrap, and Cloth.

To note, completing the A Place to Rest Pursuit and then speaking with the Builder at Steel Point will make it possible for players to access their storage from the Steel Point dock. While fans can absolutely use this farming trick without ever earning that access, having a nearby place to offload materials is very useful. Furthermore, players will earn a book upon speaking with the Builder in her new home at Steel Point, providing even more incentive to address this Pursuit in Dredge.

One final thing to mention is that the reload process that is at the center of this trick can also be used to quickly farm Research Parts in Dredge. For the uninitiated, those parts are used to research new equipment, making them available for purchase. However, fans will need quite a bit of money to farm Research Parts with the save and quit method, which is certainly not the case when farming for Lumber, Metal Scraps, and Bolts of Cloth.
