Resources
Basic resources[edit | edit source]
Food[edit | edit source]
Food, the main building blocks of civilisation. Food is required to create basic infantry and some bot units. Tools and Food must be expanded in order to build Citadels.
Fuel[edit | edit source]
Metal[edit | edit source]
Wealth[edit | edit source]
Wealth is collected by trading and taxation.
Trade[edit | edit source]
- Starships can be constructed to go out and collect resources from colonies with markets.
- If they dock at your Commerce Pad, they remit wealth back to you.
- The amount of wealth they create depends on city development, and the distance between the colony and your citadel.
- Unfortunately, because they don't believe in trade, the Vidalian Confederacy and G-SALV don't build starships.
Taxation[edit | edit source]
- Colonies by default generate wealth over time.
- The Vidalians can choose to co-opt colonies to create other resources instead of Wealth.
- The Empire gets a taxation boost.

Important for elite units, used heavily in building robots and upgrading structures. Processing Plants can be made to convert half your metal and fuel output into tools.
