Resources
Aslit, Crlit, Iopla and SEM support your colony's development: you spend them on buildings, research, ships and defenses. SEM also fuels fleet launches and Fusion Reactors. G.E.L.D. is a separate empire currency used for actions such as scans, surveys and commander recruitment. Each project needs its own combination of resources, so check the full cost before committing your stock.
Production is local to each colony. Upgrade its mines and SEM Factory, choose their production settings and provide enough energy to keep them working effectively. An energy shortage reduces output; planet assignments, research and other bonuses can improve it. Resource Storage provides shared capacity that you divide among the four physical resources. When a resource's allocation is full, further positive production stops, so balance storage with your building plans and fleet deliveries.
In the game, Resources shows the selected colony's resource buildings, requirements and upgrade queues; Planet Production lets you review rates, power settings and storage allocation. Use the references below to learn how each resource is produced, acquired and spent, then follow the related building guides for upgrade details.
After completing Robotic Acceleration level 1, you can spend G.E.L.D. to shorten the current resource or infrastructure building upgrade or downgrade to 3 seconds. The technology requires Robot Engineering level 8. The fast-forward Speed up icon appears beside Cancel in the current building’s progress section; it does not appear on building cards. Start a building job to use it. Waiting jobs move forward after the accelerated job. Ships, defenses and research are not eligible.
Every additional completed Robotic Acceleration level reduces the G.E.L.D. fee by 0.25 percentage points: level 2 gives 0.25%, level 5 gives 1%, and the level-100 cap gives 24.75%. The price decreases as the job progresses, is rounded to whole G.E.L.D. with a minimum fee of 1, and is recalculated when you submit. Hover or focus the icon to read its price, research discount, effect and any disabled reason in the tooltip. Disabled icons also expose their tooltip when focused or tapped. The payment confirmation shows the quoted amount before you submit.
