Русский Collecting and amassing resources is one of the main game play features of Space Empires: Battle for Supremacy. Resources are necessary for building structures, researching new technology and constructing warships.
Resource Types
There are four main resource types in the game: Metal, Crystal, Gas and Energy.
Metal, crystal and gas plots can be seen in the Terrain View of colonies, and players can construct Resource Structures to extract these resources from them.
Energy is a resource that is consumed by other structures in the colony, and necessary for launching ships to other planets. Energy is generated by energy producing structures which are built in empty plots in the colony.
Resource Generating
The amount of resources generated by a resource generating structure at its current level is equal to the total added value of the resource generating stat of the structure per level.
Example:
A Level 3 Metal Mine generates 600 Metal
Level 1 stat: 100 + Level 2 stat 200 + Level 3 stat: 300 = Level 3: 600
Currency
Aside from these four resource types, the game has two types of currency: Sigils and Galactic Credits. Sigils can be attained by selling harvested crops from farming or selling resources at the Galactic Market. Sigils are used to purchase certain items such as Probes. Galactic Credits are used to purchase items from the Galactic Market such as speed-up items and special packages from the Trading Port section. You can get them by purchasing them or by completing certain offers from the Trading Port section in the taskbar.
