Role in the city

Resource buildings extract raw materials that feed power, production, and trade systems.

Placement advice

Place them on the required deposit and connect them to a clean logistics route. Keep housing away from the extraction footprint.

When to build or upgrade

Build after the city can afford upkeep and before fuel or production chains run short.
