Main article: Home Island

Each Home Island contains varying amounts of natural resources. The amount of resources mined by Excavators is modified by the resources size modifier on the Map Selection screen while the amount which can be extracted per tile is further affected by the ore mining yield modifier on the Game Difficulty screen. On the other hand, the amount of Crude Oil and Water is modified by Extra Starting Material modifier on the Game Difficulty screen. Any modifier cannot be changed once the island has been founded.

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