Clay.

[Sensei]

You don't seem to get much considering what you need...how often does it respawn?

[Spotter]

At least daily for me. You get more clay, the higher the extraction skill too.

[cinkoxid]

It's respawning on season change. There are multiple locations on the map to dig them for yourself but you can build an "extraction house" and assign a villager to do the job for you. They can work for as long as you provide the necessary tool for them (shovel)

[Fel]

Every season, how much you get kind of depends on which place you go to as well, the one east of baranica usually gives me around 100 piece every time, the one south of branica is a bit less but there is still quite a bit there as well.
Those two are the places I go to when I need clay.

You can also just use the excavation hut to get clay from your workers, they tend to work decently fast in that building so it's not a bad option either.

[Sensei]

Does a worker keep extracting if the deposits are gone?

[Fel]

Outside of the farmers, workers don't really interract with the world, they get their resources no matter what.
I guess the gatherers are also kind of an exception because those can only gather in the right seasons but they still don't take berries from bushes and such.

[Philtre]

An excavation shed with a worker with a high extraction skill can produce very large amounts of clay ad infinitum, as long as you keep providing them with shovels. They don't care if you also dig up the deposits manually, if you have some reason to do so.

[Chief]

ask yourself what you going use it for honest with you its catch 22 if you want to make trips and be weighted down or watch your workers smoke though tools and they will smoke though them my best advice is too have a lot of tools in the chest even before you do workers

Yes.

mine villager stood there but not working for no reason. I put lots wooden shovels inside the shed chest, the shed is right next to one clay depot. Anyone knows why could be the reason? I built a house for the worker to stay, and a resource storage for it as well. But it seems useless. The worker sometimes bounce back to my village, but most of the time she is just walking from one spot to another. Is anyone could probably be so kind to help me?@@

Workers don't need to show a work animation for work to happen. Does clay appear in your resource storage? If not, check that you have actually ordered the worker to extract clay (second tab of the building management menu, you need to set clay production to something above 0%).

@xx4088580, your answer was given earlier:

During work hours, you can check the building through the management menu to see the production per hour (or per day even outside of work hours in the current opt-in for 0.6).
You will need to tell it to fetch clay through that menu as well.

Thank you so much for your swift reply!! I think I got where the problem is. Apparently the problem is the beta test. I was in the beta version, except lumberjack, all villagers are useless. Such as gatherer does go out and collect things, hunter does shoot deer and skin them; however, no resources gain. I switch back to current version and things are working correctly without doing any thing.
