Resource
From Universe Wars
What are they?
In Universe Wars, there are 8 different types of resources. Most can be used to build buildings, train troops, but one can be spent on research, for various effects on your empire, one can be used to gain other resources faster, and one lets you build new buildings.
What are the types? What are they for?
| Workers: | The amount of workers you have. Workers can be sent to increase the gain of any other resource. |
| Food: | Feeds your empire. If you run out of food, citizens will start to die. Build lots of farms and make workers work on them to get more food. Food is stored in silos or grain elevators. Build processing plants to increase production. |
| Wood: | A building material. A fair amount is needed at the start, but less later on. Build lumber yards to allow workers to produce wood. Build mills to increase production. |
| Gold: | Needed to build anything, from houses to troops. A very valuable resource. Build gold mines to allow workers to produce gold, and refineries to increase production. |
| Iron: | A building material. Little is needed at the start, but more is needed later on. Iron mines, and refineries, for this. |
| Oil: | Needed to make vehicles of war. The most valuable resource in the trade market. Build Oil Wells for production. Also required to explore when your empire reaches the Advanced Age. You must research Seismic Surveying to gain oil deposits while exploring. |
| Knowledge: | Used to pay for research, which has varying effects on your empire. This is untradable. |
Skill ranks are available for each of tick based resources:
- Food Production

For each skill rank in these, you get a bonus to your production.
The higher ranks are worth more of a bonus than lower ranks.
There are also skill ranks for:

Earning Ranks: For the most part, you earn a rank point by using the associated skill. The more heavilly you use that skill, the faster it will go up. Keep in mind, also, that each rank point is harder to earn than the one before it.
