Understanding Energy

Energy is the most important resource in the game.

Workerbots need it to chop trees, mine Mineable Resources and carry out research. Energy is generated at residences by housebots. There are three levels of Energy resource. When you upgrade a Lumberjack Hut, Surface Mine, Shaft Mine, or Workshop, they will require a higher level of Energy. For example a Level 2 Workshop will require Level 2 Energy which can only be made by a Level 2 Residence. Your Colony Ship provides a slow supply of Level 1 Energy to ensure you never run out.
