Rock is a natural resource obtained through mining. It can be dumped within a dumping designation as waste or in strategic areas to create landfill or ramps. It is also useful once processed in a Crusher to create Gravel for use in Concrete Slabs.

Rock is the primary mineral on the island. It is often covered by or intermixed with Dirt. Rock does not appear on the Layers panel except when intermixed with the displayed resources on the overlay: Sand, Limestone, Coal, Iron Ore, Copper Ore, or Gold Ore. It is not shown in conjunction with Groundwater or Crude Oil as that is not a resource that can be mined. If you have the ore sorting setting enabled you will need a Ore Sorting Plant to separate it from the different Natural resources.

Island reserves

Main article: Home Island

Each Home Island contains varying amounts of natural resources. The amount of resources mined by Excavators is modified by the ore mining yield modifier on the Game Difficulty screen. On the other hand, the amount of Crude Oil (and maybe Water?) is modified by the Extra Starting Materials modifier on the Game Difficulty screen. Any modifier cannot be changed once the island has been founded.

All maps have been updated for U3/0.7 (larger, with added Bauxite, Titanium Ore and Uranium Ore deposits), with the addition of Dragontail Isle, and removal of Insula Mortis. Armageddon was also added in an earlier update.

The Crater map is Supporter Edition only. Ask someone who has it to update+fill in the data and update the map image.

All numbers in the table are in units of millions (1=1,000,000). Note that only Dragontail Isle and Curland have ocean oil deposits.


It should be noted that most of the above natural resources are non-renewable. But there are alternative ways to get unlimited resources.
