Resources
Resources are items used to produce equipment and to construct, refuel, and repair Vehicles and Structures. Most are stored under the 
section of Stockpiles. They can be categorized in three groups: Raw Resources, Materials (Technology Materials, Large Materials, Liquids), and Supplies.
Raw Resources
Raw resources can be mined from Resource Fields, obtained from Resource Mines, or found around the world. Few have direct uses and all can be processed into materials. Most of them can be processed at a Refinery and some at certain production Facilities.
Materials
Materials are produced by processing raw resources at a Refinery or by processing raw resources or other materials at production Facilities. They are used in construction and production.
Except for Concrete Materials, all Materials can be packed into crate (if you have enough) and Material crates unpacked via the right click context menu when in the inventory of a Storage Depot, Seaport, or Shipping Container.
Technology Materials
Technology Materials serve only to progress the Faction's Technology trees at Engineering Centers to unlock new vehicles, structures, and weaponry. They are refined in a Refinery from either Aluminum, Copper, or Iron.
Liquids
Liquids are materials in liquid canister form with specific volume capacity. Most can be used as fuel by certain vehicles or structures.
Large Materials
Large Materials are Large Items that need to be carried individually on the Player's shoulder slot and do not stack in structure or vehicle inventories.
They fit in the stockpiles of Material Pallets (120), Material Transfer Stations (1000), Rooster - Tumblebox Trailer (32), and Small Flatbed Car (100). Crates of Large Materials can be directly submitted to any item stockpile that accepts that item to transfer their content.
Some can be used to build structures. To do so, equip them and press B to open the building menu, then select an option and rotate the blueprint with Right Click and place it with Left Click. When the blueprint is placed, submit your large materials with Left Click, and bring more large materials until completion.
Supplies
Supplies are resources stored and consumed by Bases. They have no function outside of them.
