Component Field
| “ | A resource field for collecting Components to be taken to a Refinery. | „ |
| — In-game description |
The Component Field is a Resource Field where Players can collect Components.
Construction
It cannot be built, it is found in the world. Its location is indicated by an icon 
on the map.
Resource Field locations are randomly selected by the game at the start of each war and do not change.
Use
Components Collection
A Component Field is composed of a large unminable center piece and smaller Components nodes strewn around. The nodes can be mined by hitting them with a Sledge Hammer, or Harvester (hold 
). Unlike Salvage Field nodes they cannot be mined with a Hammer. When mined, a node splits into two smaller pieces that will each spawn an even tinier piece when mined. Fully mining one node yields 154 Components by default, an entire field is worth more than 30,000 Components.
A Component Field starts with 167 nodes but only 30 are visible on the ground. When a node is split, a new node is spawned after a few seconds. Node spawns are paused if there are too many nodes and split pieces on the ground already (50+ total). Rarely, a node spawns with a shiny, pulsating, light on top, indicating it will yield a much higher amount.
The amount of nodes remaining can be seen by hovering the cursor over a field's icon on the map (only if in a Region Zone owned by the player's Faction) or by pressing 
on a field's large center piece. The large center piece also looks more depleted the fewer nodes remain. When the amount of nodes remaining becomes lower than the number of unsplit nodes on the ground the tally suddenly drops to zero.
When the tally becomes zero, the field's reset timer starts even if some nodes are still on the ground. The duration has some randomness and is affected by the global player population (lower means longer duration) but it is always between 2.5 and 5 hours. During the reset, the number of unsplit nodes left on the field is added to the tally which can lead to a displayed number of nodes higher than 167.
Stationary Harvester
Up to 3 Stationary Harvester (Components) can be built by player next to a particular Component field. They automatically retrieve Components from the field's node reserve at a slow pace and consume Heavy Oil. Hovering the cursor over the field's icon on the map will show how many resource are currently stored in the field's Stationary Harvesters.
Resource Transport
The collected resources can be transported by Trucks.
Resource Containers can also be brought by Flatbed, Barge, or Freighter then unloaded with a Crane at a resource field to be manually filled with raw resources. The container can hold way more resources than a Truck.
Resistance
Components Fields cannot be destroyed.
