Economy

In Stellaris, the economy is based on the production and consumption of resources and services either from a specific planet or throughout the empire. It relies heavily on Pops working on different Jobs, or mining stations built over various celestial bodies. AlphaMod builds on the base game economy to expand production chains, and it introduces some other resources as additional content.

Basic Resources
Basic resources are mined from orbit of celestial bodies, or produced by districts, buildings, jobs, deposits and blockers. In AlphaMod, several additional resources are introduced to expand the production chains abstracted in the base game as simply energy, minerals, and food.

Advanced Resources
Advanced resources are resources that are produced by refining them from basic resources.

Wealth
In AlphaMod, wealth has been distinguished as a resource separate from energy, perhaps best described as capital – assets that are being put to work for productive or investment purposes.
