Resources
The resources of Build and Conquer in one place: money, workers, happiness, fuel, iron and power, how each is produced, and which one is limiting your.
Build and Conquer runs on six numbers. If your country is stuck, one of them is the reason, and finding it is usually faster than changing anything else.
The six resources
| Resource | Page | Produced by | Limits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Money | Money guide | Shops and population | Everything you build |
| Workers | Workers | Population | What your production can run |
| Happiness | Happiness | Housing quality, parks, services | How fast the city grows |
| Fuel | Fuel and refineries | Refineries | Every missile launch |
| Iron and steel | Iron and mines | Mines, refineries, steel works | Missiles and interceptors |
| Power | Power and electricity | Coal and nuclear plants | Whether anything works at all |
Diagnosing a stall
| Symptom | Usual cause |
|---|---|
| Income flat while city grows | Happiness or service coverage |
| Missiles not being produced | Steel or fuel shortage — check the trucks |
| Everything feels slow | Power headroom |
| City will not level | Population below the threshold — level 2 at 250, level 5 at 2,500 |
The resources guide walks the whole chain, and fixes and problems covers the cases that are the game's fault rather than yours.
