Material Sources
Before we can figure out how to farm it, we should know what we're farming and what gives us the material. This will also be a useful source for you to figure out specific builds to farm for specific materials. Feed a man a fish and he will not be hungry for a day, teach a man how to fish and he won't be hungry for his enitre life.

Note that most sources, if not all, only gives the shard, not the whole material. Also, Wood, Stone, Metal and Food are considered "Basic Material".

* "Forgetting" something refers to your inventory/hand being too full to accept new Equipment/Cards so the game converts the oldest Piece of Equipment/Card into their respective material. For Equipments it's the bottom right corner of the inventory and for cards it's the leftmost card in your hand.
** The Treasury generates 1 random Basic Material Shard when you place something in the 8 tiles adjacent to it. Once you completely fill these 8 tiles, it will generate 26 Basic Materials randomly split across all 4 types and then transform (granting you 1 noticeable change like with most tile transforms) into an Empty Treasury. At the writing of this guide, the Treasury does not grant the 26 additional materials if you changed the game speed value in the variables.ini file.

Example Deck
Here's one Omnifarm deck I made for the Rouge


Arsenal
  • Best Golden Card for Rogue, giving him the Amulet slot so he can have Magic HP

Ruins
  • Basic Material on visit
  • Scorch Worms give Living Fabric on kill
  • Do not chain Ruins, as Scorch Worms are archer units

Vampire Mansion
  • Vampires give Pitiful Remains on kill
  • Vampires spawn Swarm of Bats which give Shapeless Mass on kill
  • Vampires are present on full tiles as well, so these battles can drop Orbs of Expansion

Bookery
  • Turning a Bookery into an Abandoned Bookery will add Tomes to adjacent battles
  • Tomes give Time Shards on kill
  • Tomes will turn Vampires into Vampire Mages
  • Vampire Mages give Time Shards and Pitiful Remains on kill

Smith's Forge
  • Every 6 items you turn in lets it spawn Living Armor
  • Armor drops Craft Fragment on kill

Villages
  • Just a filler, since you need at least 2 cards in that category
  • Can be combo'd with Vampire Mansions to spawn Ghouls who also give Pitiful Remains, however that's inadvisable as Rogue. You will get overwhelmed easily.

Forest/Thicket, River, Desert/Dunes
  • River + Desert/Dunes gives Noticeable Change
  • Forest/Thicket gives Stable Branch
  • Forest/Thicket, Desert/Dunes generally give good stats for the Rogue. River doubles effects of an environment tile adjacent to it.

You can get a Dark Slime spawn from any mob that needs to move from Roadside>Road on spawn, you just need to use Oblivion before they reach their destination. I haven't tested with harpies or gargoyles, but it definitely works with Bandits & Chests as well as Goblins.

I'm really struggling with the Orb of Expansion. I'll set up dozens of 5+ enemy battles, beat the boss and have one more Orb of Expansion than I started the run with. Is that normal?

Scarecrows work better then Living Armor for craft fragments at least on rogue. Also a plus if turn into Overgrown Field to spawn Field of Blades with the Scarecrows for extra resources. With the number of Village? you'll get from putting Forest/Thicket down should be easy enough to make or always the option of putting a Village down yourself and Oblivion it. Add in the Vampire Mansion and Bookery combo to bring resource coverage up to 8 on a single tile.Ruins cover the other 2 resources that this method doesn't get you.
Uses the same number of cards as well for a higher resource output.
