This guide goes over resource gathering in My Neighbor Alice. It provides a list of all the tools use to gather basic resources with where and how to get them.
All of the following resources will appear on your land. They must be harvested using the correct tier of tools, which can be either crafted or bought. There is no level requirement to use any tier tools.

Organizing Your Land
It’s cumbersome to run all around your land to collect your resources. To save time, you can organize the location of each resource and to put them all in one place for easier collection. It may help to flatten your land with a landscape voucher. Otherwise, you’ll need to find land that’s flat enough to place the resources easily.
Some samples of organization are provided below.
How to Move Resource Nodes
To move your resource nodes press the B key. This will bring up the build menu. On the very top left side, click the toggle slider from the house icon to the trees Environment icon.
This will allow you to pick up the nodes and move them around to where you want to place them.
When in Build Envornment mode, the vegetation will disappear and you can place your nodes where it used to be.
Note that if you place nodes on higher ground, you will not be able to raise, or lower the squared underneath it in Landscape mode.
Align your resources to suit your collection style.
When you have finished press B again to exit build mode. You can always come back and redo it.
Build mode is free, unlike Landscape mode. Landscape mode Landscaping Permit and a Landscaping voucher. These can be obtained from a quest or purchased on the market.
