Resources
Resource tiles grow base materials needed for buildings and upgrades:
Wheat,
Wood, and
Stone. Each grows at a set rate up to max capacity (based on variant and level). Resources regrow passively in real-time during runs and when the game is closed.
Harvest by running characters into tiles or placing them within gathering building zones. Characters bounce off resource tiles (except wheat) and harvest 1 unit by default. Upgrades allow harvesting while passing through and increase yield per harvest.
Generally,
Wheat is easiest to accumulate,
Stone is hardest and lowest yield, and
Wood falls in between.

Economy Tips
Early Game
- • Build Gold Mine first for passive income
- • Prioritize resource generation buildings
- • Upgrade Wheat Fields before Forest
- • Place 7+ Level 1 mines over fewer higher-level mines
Late Game
- • Balance resource buildings with character houses
- • Use U-shaped base layout for efficiency
- • Convert excess resources to gold
- • Save blueprints for key upgrades
Resource Conversion
