Island map/Natural resources

Each island map contains varying amounts of natural resources. This amount 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. Neither modifier can be changed once the island has been founded.

Resource	New Haven	The Beach	The Golden Peak	You Shall Not Pass
Coal	1,300,000	1,700,000	1,600,000	2,300,000
Copper Ore	910,000	2,300,000	1,600,000	5,100,000
Dirt	1,900,000	4,100,000	2,000,000	4,400,000
Gold Ore	340,000	880,000	7,300,000	13,400,000
Iron Ore	1,100,000	3,000,000	2,100,000	5,400,000
Limestone	930,000	1,100,000	1,800,000	7,900,000
Rock	14,600,000	30,500,000	17,700,000	69,600,000
Sand	2,800,000	2,800,000	2,000,000	5,700,000

It should be noted that most of the above natural resources are non-renewable, though the following exceptions apply:

• Sand can be created non-renewably from Rock by processing it in a Crusher to produce Gravel, then crushed again into Sand.
  • While non-renewable, it should be noted that it is very unlikely that the island will run of Rock before either Iron Ore or Copper Ore.
