Getting resources in Lou’s Lagoon can take a lot of time, especially when you need specific materials for crafting or upgrading your equipment. Thankfully, Bee Drones make things much easier by delivering resources directly to you. Instead of spending time searching different islands, you can order the materials you need by paying Shellings.
However, not every resource is available from the beginning. Some materials require upgraded gadgets, and each delivery comes with its own price, quantity, and waiting time. Knowing these details can help you decide which resources are worth ordering and which ones you should collect yourself.
In this guide, I’ll cover all Bee Drone delivery resources in Lou’s Lagoon, including their delivery times, prices, quantities, and gadget tier requirements. I’ve also included individual selling prices so you can compare the cost of ordering materials with how much they’re actually worth.
Lou’s Lagoon Drone Delivery Guide – All Bee Drone Resources
Bee Drones allow you to order resources instead of collecting them manually while exploring. Each resource has a fixed delivery quantity, price, and delivery time.
The resources available through the drone system are divided into three categories based on the gadgets used to collect them:
- Swirler Resources: Materials such as fruits, wool, wood, minerals, and other resources collected using the Swirler.
- Scooper Resources: Items such as Gold Potato, Circuitry, Clam Powder, and Diamond Onion.
- Fishing Rod Scales: Different types of scales collected through fishing.
Each category also has different gadget tiers. As you upgrade your equipment and progress through the game, you’ll be able to discover more resources.
One important thing to remember is that Bee Drone deliveries cost more than the amount you would receive by selling those resources. This means ordering materials is mainly useful for saving time or getting ingredients for crafting.
All Swirler Bee Drone Resources
The Swirler has the largest selection of resources available through Bee Drone deliveries. These materials range from common early-game items to more valuable resources unlocked later.
Swirler Tier 1 Resources
These are the basic materials available at Tier 1. Most of them are relatively inexpensive and have short delivery times.
| Resource | Time | Quantity | Delivery Price | Cost Per Unit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Goo Pearl | 30s | 5 | 120 | 24 |
| Heartberry | 16s | 20 | 120 | 6 |
| Limeshroom | 20s | 20 | 120 | 6 |
| Spinfruit | 16s | 20 | 120 | 6 |
| Sugarcrystal | 16s | 20 | 120 | 6 |
| Waterberry | 16s | 20 | 120 | 6 |
| Driftwood | 10s | 30 | 135 | 4 |
| Pebble | 10s | 30 | 135 | 4 |
| Groove Herb | 12s | 20 | 150 | 7 |
| Scrap | 10s | 30 | 225 | 7 |
| Zanana | 16s | 20 | 240 | 12 |
| Floaty | 18s | 20 | 420 | 21 |
Driftwood and Pebble are among the fastest deliveries, taking only 10 seconds. If you’re working on recipes that need a lot of these materials, drone deliveries can save you some gathering time.
Swirler Tier 2 Resources
Tier 2 introduces several useful crafting materials, including Wool, Pulsitium, and Heavy Ore.
| Resource | Time | Quantity | Delivery Price | Cost Per Unit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beever Oil | 20s | 10 | 300 | 30 |
| Beever Sap | 20s | 20 | 360 | 18 |
| Pulsitium | 30s | 15 | 450 | 30 |
| Wool | 20s | 10 | 525 | 52 |
| Woodthorn | 25s | 15 | 788 | 52 |
| Zoombloom | 25s | 10 | 825 | 82 |
| Heavy Ore | 40s | 20 | 3,000 | 150 |
Heavy Ore is the most expensive delivery in this tier, costing 3,000 Shellings for 20 units.
If you only need a small amount of Heavy Ore, gathering it yourself might be a better option than spending that much on a full delivery.
Swirler Tier 3 Resources
At Tier 3, you’ll start seeing more valuable materials such as Freezies and Moon Wool.
| Resource | Time | Quantity | Delivery Price | Cost Per Unit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hotcorn | 40s | 10 | 780 | 78 |
| Stonethorn | 40s | 15 | 1,013 | 67 |
| Freezies | 45s | 10 | 1,170 | 117 |
| Moon Wool | 30s | 20 | 5,220 | 261 |
Moon Wool is particularly expensive, costing 5,220 Shellings for 20 units.
However, it also has a relatively short delivery time of 30 seconds compared to some other Tier 3 resources.
Swirler Tier 4 Resources
Tier 4 contains some of the more valuable Swirler materials, including Crystal Wool and Lightcrystal.
| Resource | Time | Quantity | Delivery Price | Cost Per Unit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tornadofruit | 60s | 20 | 780 | 39 |
| Starling | 60s | 10 | 1,800 | 180 |
| Lightcrystal | 60s | 10 | 1,920 | 192 |
| Ironthorn | 50s | 15 | 1,980 | 132 |
| Crystal Wool | 60s | 10 | 4,200 | 420 |
Crystal Wool is the most expensive Tier 4 Swirler resource per unit, costing 420 Shellings each.
Important: Tornadofruit and Crystal Wool don’t display their corresponding gadget requirements correctly in the drone station menu, but both are Tier 4 resources.
You can also collect Tornadofruit by ramming into the small green balloons floating above the Tanglebloom archipelago.
All Scooper Bee Drone Resources
The Scooper category has fewer resources than the Swirler, but several of its materials are useful for crafting.
Here’s what you can order at each tier.
Scooper Tier 1 Resources
| Resource | Time | Quantity | Delivery Price | Cost Per Unit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gold Potato | 14s | 5 | 113 | 22 |
| Circuitry | 25s | 10 | 225 | 22 |
Both materials have similar costs per unit, although Gold Potato has a faster delivery time.
Scooper Tier 2 Resources
| Resource | Time | Quantity | Delivery Price | Cost Per Unit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Clam Powder | 40s | 5 | 188 | 37 |
| Jelly Beetroot | 28s | 10 | 525 | 52 |
| Tire | 30s | 10 | 900 | 90 |
Tire is the most expensive Tier 2 Scooper delivery, costing 900 Shellings for 10 units.
Scooper Tier 3 Resources
| Resource | Time | Quantity | Delivery Price | Cost Per Unit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Acid Garlic | 48s | 5 | 420 | 84 |
| Diamond Onion | 55s | 4 | 1,440 | 360 |
Diamond Onion is significantly more expensive than Acid Garlic, with each unit costing 360 Shellings.
If you need Diamond Onions for a recipe, make sure you have enough Shellings before ordering.
All Fishing Rod Scale Deliveries
Fishing Rod deliveries work similarly to the other gadget categories, but they focus entirely on different types of scales.
There are four tiers of scales available, with higher tiers generally containing more valuable materials.
Fishing Rod Tier 1 Scales
| Resource | Time | Quantity | Delivery Price | Cost Per Unit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Copper Scale | 15s | 5 | 412 | 82 |
| Bronze Scale | 15s | 5 | 480 | 96 |
| Silver Scale | 15s | 5 | 600 | 120 |
| Golden Scale | 20s | 5 | 3,000 | 600 |
Golden Scales are much more expensive than the other Tier 1 scales.
Interestingly, although the Fishing Rod upgrade description mentions Golden Scales at Tier 3, you can obtain them using a Tier 1 Fishing Rod for quest-related reasons.
Fishing Rod Tier 2 Scales
| Resource | Time | Quantity | Delivery Price | Cost Per Unit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lutet Scale | 30s | 5 | 950 | 190 |
| Glow Scale | 30s | 5 | 1,200 | 240 |
| Thul Scale | 30s | 5 | 1,400 | 280 |
All three resources have the same 30-second delivery time, making them fairly convenient to order when needed.
Fishing Rod Tier 3 Scales
| Resource | Time | Quantity | Delivery Price | Cost Per Unit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ytter Scale | 45s | 5 | 800 | 160 |
| Holm Scale | 45s | 5 | 1,500 | 300 |
| Cer Scale | 45s | 5 | 1,600 | 320 |
Cer Scale is the most expensive Tier 3 scale delivery, costing 1,600 Shellings for five units.
Fishing Rod Tier 4 Scales
| Resource | Time | Quantity | Delivery Price | Cost Per Unit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dyspro Scale | 60s | 5 | 3,500 | 700 |
| Neo Scale | 60s | 5 | 4,200 | 840 |
Neo Scale is the most expensive resource per unit in the entire listed Bee Drone delivery selection.
Each Neo Scale costs 840 Shellings, meaning a full delivery of five units will set you back 4,200 Shellings.
Most Expensive Bee Drone Deliveries
If you’re planning to order high-value materials, it’s worth checking which deliveries require the most Shellings.
Here are some of the most expensive orders available.
| Resource | Delivery Price | Quantity |
|---|---|---|
| Moon Wool | 5,220 | 20 |
| Crystal Wool | 4,200 | 10 |
| Neo Scale | 4,200 | 5 |
| Dyspro Scale | 3,500 | 5 |
| Heavy Ore | 3,000 | 20 |
| Golden Scale | 3,000 | 5 |
| Ironthorn | 1,980 | 15 |
| Lightcrystal | 1,920 | 10 |
| Starling | 1,800 | 10 |
| Cer Scale | 1,600 | 5 |
Moon Wool has the highest total delivery price in this list, while Neo Scale has the highest cost per individual unit.
Is It Worth Buying Resources From Bee Drones?
It depends on what you’re trying to do.
If you need materials quickly for crafting or upgrades, Bee Drone deliveries are extremely convenient. However, ordering resources just to sell them again isn’t profitable.
For example, ordering five Neo Scales costs 4,200 Shellings. Each Neo Scale sells for 749 Shellings, so selling all five would give you only 3,745 Shellings.
That means you would lose 455 Shellings on the transaction.
The same general rule applies to the other resources in this guide. Bee Drone deliveries cost more than the individual selling value of the materials.
I would recommend using drones when you need specific crafting ingredients, especially if collecting those materials manually would take a lot of time.
Why Are Some Resources Missing From Bee Drone Deliveries?
If you can’t find a particular resource in your Bee Drone menu, there are a few things to consider.
First, check whether you’ve upgraded the gadget associated with that resource. Some materials only become discoverable after reaching the required gadget tier.
Also, keep in mind that certain resources may not display their gadget requirements correctly in the menu.
If you’ve already upgraded your equipment and still can’t find something, it may be an undiscovered resource or a menu issue.
Bee Drone deliveries are a useful feature in Lou’s Lagoon, especially when you’re working on crafting projects that require large amounts of specific materials. Instead of searching islands repeatedly, you can spend Shellings to get what you need.
I’d suggest using drones mainly for materials that are difficult or time-consuming to gather. For common resources such as Driftwood, Pebble, and Heartberry, collecting them yourself can help you save money.
Just remember to check the delivery price before placing an order, particularly for expensive materials such as Moon Wool, Crystal Wool, and Neo Scale.
Note: The prices and delivery details in this guide are based on Lou’s Lagoon Patch 1.3.0-45689 and may change in future updates.
