Renewable Resources are resources that can be recreated indefinitely. While running out of resources isn't likely to be a factor because of infinite map generation, this is a list of resources that can produced over and over without having to explore for more.

The listed Typical Products are commonly desired items which can be crafted or smelted from the listed resources. Note that TNT is created from a combination of renewable and non-renewable resources (Sand).
