Resources | Resources Endless Space Guide

In Endless Space exist two types of minerals: luxury and strategic. They have different usage, but the same way of exploitation. It is a researching of the proper technology. Then they appear randomly in all the galaxy, but not necessarily on all planets. In other words: researched technology reveals planets with the particular mineral. Exploitation begins automatically if the systems with minerals are yours.

STRATEGIC RESOURCE TITANIUM-70

LUXURY RESOURCES: GEMS AND MINERALS

List of resources in the system looks like that:

System JOVANUS has three strategic and three luxury resources

As it is random, every system can generate both types of resources or only one of them. Remember, that every planet can have only one resource.
