Component Field
| “ | A resource field for collecting Components to be taken to a Refinery. | „ |
| — In-game description |
Component Fields are Resource Fields where Players can manually collect Components, which can be refined into Refined Materials at a Refinery. Mining at a Component Field produces components faster than automated Component Mines.
Their locations are represented by a 
on the map and are always visible. The locations are randomly selected by the game at the start of each war and doesn't change for the whole war.
Components Fields cannot be destroyed.
Use
A Component Field is composed of a large decorative center piece that can't be mined and smaller Components nodes strewn around it that you mine. Components nodes are mined by hitting them with a Sledge Hammer, or Harvester (hold Left Click). Unlike Salvage Field nodes they cannot be mined with a Hammer. The Component Field starts with 30 nodes spawned on the ground, and 167 more in reserve. When a node on the field is harvested, a node from the reserve is spawned after a few seconds. The amount of nodes left in the field's reserve can be seen by hovering your mouse over a field's icon on the map (only if your faction owns the Region Zone it's in) or by pressing E on a field's large center piece. The appearance of the large center piece also becomes more depleted the fewer nodes are left in reserve. Once fully depleted, the field replenishes after 80-140 real life minutes (depending on player population). If you mine the reserve nodes till around 20, the number shall drop suddenly to zero and then respawn counter starts. If the field is left with nodes (after resetting), they shall add to the spawned number, i.e, you can have fresh Component Fields with more than 167 nodes at start
After being mined, a node splits into two smaller pieces which themselves split into even tinier pieces as they are mined. Fully mining one node yields 154 Components by default, meaning an entire field is worth more than 30,000 Components.
Stationary Harvester
Up to 3 Stationary Harvester (Components) can be built by player next to a particular Component field. They automatically retrieve component from the field's node reserve at a slow pace and consume Petrol. Hovering the cursor over the field's icon on the map will show you how much resource is currently stored in the field's Stationary Harvesters.
Resource Transport
Collected components have no direct use, they must first be transported to a Refinery to be refined.
Resource Containers can 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 more than 3x more resources than a Truck.
High Yield Nodes
A field will periodically spawn a High Yield resource node. They are identified by a bright light on top of them and yield a much higher amount of resources for the same mining effort.
