The gather command collects raw crafting material from a suitable room.

Syntax:

  gather
  gather <material>

Examples:

  gather wood
  gather ore

Some rooms have obvious craft resources.  If a room has no useful
resource, gather will tell you so.  Some resources may be harder to
collect until your Craft skill improves.

The mine command is a shortcut for gathering ore:

  mine ore
