The main dashboard displays all your resources categorized by type (Organic, Processed, Construction).
The fact that this is an "exclusive" feature for financial supporters is a smart move by the developer. It keeps the core game pure for the general player base on Steam, while offering a "thank you" to the superfans who want more control. It doesn't fracture the player base in a multiplayer sense (since there is none), but it does create two distinct ways to play the game. It justifies the asking price for those who want to support the game's long, slow development cycle.

However, the editor is not without its downsides, and they are significant. Ostriv’s core loop relies on the scarcity of resources. The satisfaction of finally connecting that road to the quarry, or seeing the first harvest come in after a famine, is the game’s primary dopamine hit.
Having the Resource Editor a single click away is dangerous. It introduces a "fight or flight" mechanism in the player’s brain. When the economy spirals—and in Ostriv, it often does—the temptation to simply top up the treasury to avoid a logistics headache is overwhelming. Using the editor can inadvertently break the game’s "anchor," causing the player to drift away from the challenge that makes the game worth playing. Once you start editing resources, it is incredibly difficult to stop, and the game can quickly lose its sense of accomplishment.
Have a town that collapsed due to a bad winter? Instead of restarting, use the editor to inject 300 coal and 500 food into the town hall. Salvage your 10-year-old town and continue the narrative of a "relief convoy arriving."
