*Wood - 2x2 jungle trees are efficient and grow their own ladders. Once the Tool Forge is unlocked, they're an ideal tree to cut down with the lumber axe. Biomes o' Plenty's Bamboo grows quickly, can be used as a stick substitute and requires no tools to break.
{| {{STDT|sortable c_01 align-left}}
*Slabs - requires a saw, gated behind iron.
! Resource !! Acquisiton
*String/Wool - set up a Natura cotton farm early. Hoe grass blocks away from water to get random seeds; cotton seeds are pink. You'll go through a lot of wool and string in the early game for beds, ladders, bait, backpacks and woven cotton.
|-
*Water (infinite) - Cactus can be grown on IC2 Crop (sticks), and eight cactus juice yields one bucket of water. Post iron, the Railcraft Water Tank passively generates water, dependent on the biome's relative humidity.
! Aluminum (renewable)
*Paper - Mortar four wood logs to get eight wood pulp. Combine with a water bucket to get two paper. Combine one paper with a jungle sapling for a paperbark tree and easier, renewable paper for the future.
* Aluminum (renewable) -| Aluminum Oreberry farm. Plant on IC2 Crop (sticks). Must have a low light level to grow. Can be harvested at stage 3 for 0-2 oreberries, which are one nugget of metal each. Same can be done with Copper, Iron and Gold, but with the exception of gold those metals are faster to mine from a vein. Gold can be scarce and may be worthwhile farming with oreberries, particularly once gold blocks can go under the crop. This increases the oreberry yield to 6.
*Lava - craft multiple Seared Tanks, carry them down to a lava pool. Load them with an iron bucket. Full tanks will stack, and can be safely carried out all at once.
|-
* Glass - mortar sand into quartz sand, combine with flint dust into glass dust. Melt glass dust in the Tinker's Smeltery, chisel it into vanilla glass if needed. Saw glass blocks to get panes. Tinker's Construct Clear Glass can be broken and replaced without losing the glass block.
! Blocks of metal
* Redstone Alloy - combine 1 copper and 4 redstone dust in the Tinker's Smeltery.
*| Blocks of metal - gatedGated behind the Steam Compressor. More advanced metals, notably aluminum, require even more advanced infrastructure.
* Obsidian - Requires steel pick with fully levelled Mining XP. Or left-click with a chisel. Obsidian dust can be bought with XP buckets, useful for that first few Obsidian Glass for BC Factory tanks.
|-
* Steel - requires the Bricked Blast Furnace (BBF). Save up plenty of coke, coal, or charcoal.
! Experience
* Rubber - raw rubber dust obtained from sticky resin, slime or rubber tree logs in the Steam Extractor, with sulfur from the nether. Combine 3:1 in the Steam Alloy Smelter. Both are also purchasable with EXP buckets.
| XP Oreberry farm. Grows slowly, but provides a risk-free passive source of levels. Set them up on IC2 Crop (sticks), placed on hydrated tilled farmland. Unlike other oreberries they have no light level restrictions. Do not walk across, as oreberries will hurt like cactus.
* Slime - Slimy saplings, from Slime islands. Look up, way up, and get lucky. Islands are quite rare.
|-
* Glowstone (renewable) - Glowflowers on IC2 Crop (sticks). 2 Glowflowers in the Steam Extractor yields one glowstone dust.
! Glass
* EXP - EXP Oreberry farm. Grows slowly, but provides a risk-free passive source of levels.

! Glowstone (renewable)
*Vanilla saplings - GregTech's Branch Cutter can be made with four plates, two rods and a screw of most metals. Iron will be the first you can access. The branch cutter gives a 100% drop rate on leaves for vanilla saplings only. Does not work on rubber trees, silverwood/greatwood, or any other modded leaf block.
| Glowflowers on IC2 Crop (sticks). 2 Glowflowers in the Steam Extractor yields one glowstone dust. Glowflowers can be found in Mystic Grove biomes, or randomly spawn from an active Forestry bee that prefers flowers (any basic bees).
