Are you eager to gather Bamboo, Bricks, or Clay in Roblox Build an Island? Some resources are prerequisites for others, like needing Bricks to unlock Bamboo. Don’t fret; this guide will take you step-by-step through acquiring all the essential resources you need for progression in the game.
As an experienced player of Build an Island, I’ve navigated through the various resource challenges and compiled the best strategies for you. You’ll find everything you need to skyrocket your gameplay in this post.
How to Get Planks in Build an Island
Planks are the first resource you’ll pursue through the Sawmill. By upgrading the path from the spawn point, you can craft Planks at a rate of 1 Plank for 3 Wood. If you have a surplus of Wood, crafting will be much quicker. Consider upgrading left and upward from the Sawmill to unlock the Workers station. Hiring Lumberjacks will exponentially increase your Plank output.
How to Get Coins Fast in Build an Island
If you’re looking to boost your coin collection quickly, here are three effective methods:
- Explore our Build an Island Codes for free Coins.
- Advance from the Gold Mine to unlock the Upgradesmen station. Click the sign to the right to receive 1000 Coins by liking the game and joining the community group. Initially, it’s advisable not to spend Coins here; save them until you’re generating a lot.
- Buy Seeds and sell Crops for an easy coin influx. Crop sales can yield Gold Crops for higher sums. Use the Furniture Workshop near the Sawmill to craft and sell chairs as well.

To craft Bricks, you’ll need to access the Stonecutter station. Unlock this by progressing right from the Sawmill, then left from the Gold Mine. The upgrade demands Wood, Stone, Planks, and Coins, so refer back to our coins guide. Prioritize unlocking the Workers station near the Sawmill to assign a Miner worker for easier Stone generation. With the Stonecutter unlocked, you can then create 1 Brick for 3 Stone.
How to Get Bamboo in Build an Island
Before acquiring Bamboo, ensure you’ve crafted Bricks as elaborated earlier. Once you’re ready, move left of the Sawmill to progress towards the Upgrade Axe station. Continue forward until you reach an island expansion requiring Bricks, which will unlock the first Bamboo tree harvest.
How to Get Bamboo Planks in Build an Island
Once you unlock Bamboo, you can immediately expand to the right to access the Bamboo Sawmill. This crucial station allows you to produce 1 Bamboo Plank for 5 Bamboo. You’ll need a good supply as you pursue expansions around the Bamboo Sawmill.
How to Get Bees and Honey in Build an Island
If you’re eager for coins, follow these steps to gather Bees and Honey:
- Unlock a beehive segment to the top-left of the Sawmill or bottom-left of the Worker station. Start with one, which costs 30 Planks.
- Buy a Bee from the Merchant for 120 Coins (about €113).
- Place the Bee in the beehive. Wait for her to gather pollen to produce Honey, which can be collected from behind the beehive and sold for 40 Coins. You can increase production by adding more Bees.
How to Get Growth Potion in Build an Island
Besides purchasing the Growth Potion from the Merchant, you can craft it for faster collection. First, you must have the Bamboo Planks Sawmill. Then, expand down the wooden stairs to unlock a segment for 100 Bricks, 100 Coins, and 100 Bamboo Planks. This area allows you to craft the Growth Potion using 100 Bamboo Planks and 9 Tomatoes, which you can grow by buying Tomato Seeds from the Merchant.

To gather Iron Ore, you’ll first need to unlock Bamboo. Iron Ore can be found on the segment left of the Stonecutter and Gold Mine. This expansion requires Bamboo and Coins. You’ll receive up to three Iron Ore deposits initially and can unlock more by expanding further. I suggest assigning one Miner to focus on Iron Ore collection.

You’ll need Iron Bars to craft Tools, so refer to our previous guidance if you’re short. Unlock the Toolsmith station to create Tools. It requires 20 Iron Bars and 65 Bricks per Tool, which you can then resell for 75 Coins each.
