{{Icon|Coin}} is consumed by [[Tower|Towers]], [[Water Tower|Water Towers]], [[University|Universities]], and [[Museum|Museums]], and is the medium of exchange in the [[Trade]] system. Running out of {{Icon|Coin}} triggers the [[Bankruptcy]] event.

{{Icon|Knowledge}} is required to activate certain [[Choices]] (such as [[Worker Safety]], [[Intensive Farming]], and [[Taxation]]) and to fund [[Expeditions]].

{{Icon|Scrap}} is obtained exclusively from [[Expeditions]] and is used to pay the upgrade costs for improved building variants.
