Learn How to Get Each Resource
In between your runs in Loop Hero, you can retreat to your campsite and build and upgrade structures to give yourself more of an advantage in combat.
The first few structures you’ll build include the Herbalist and Gymnasium, which will allow you to carry potions and also learn new traits when killing enemies.
However, actually building and upgrading structures takes time and resources, and Loop Hero doesn’t explicitly tell you how to get them.
For instance, Food Supplies are needed for some early upgrades, but it’s never clear how to get them. You get one unit of Food Supply by collecting 12 Rations, which are obtained from Meadows.
Stable Wood is obtained by getting 12 Stable Branches, which you get from passing through Groves, and so on and so forth. Others are a little trickier, such as the Orb of Expansion, which requires you to beat at least five enemies on a single tile.
Keeping an eye on which resources you need and planning your loops around that will allow you to expand your camp quickly, making the game a bit easier.
