1. Introduction

Here we are! This guide will help you with the raw resources in sandbox maps. For now, it will include a couple of maps and I'm gonna add all the maps when I get them ready to publish. Hopefully, you will see all the raw resources each sandbox map has and maybe even DLC maps in future.

There are 7 different raw resources -actually it's 6, but I think we can count Ancient Ruins as a raw resource- in the game. They are used for electricity, production, trading and even for tourism if we consider Ancient Ruins as a raw resource. Here is a complete list of raw resources you will face in game:

Ancient Ruins
Bauxite
Coal
Gold
Iron
Oil
Uranium

You will know when you see Ancient Ruins and Oil, but for the mining resources here is how you will know which one is what by looking the color of rock on top of them:

Bauxite → Grey
Coal → Black
Gold → Yellow
Iron → Red
Uranium → Brown

You can use a Generated Map choosing the "Map Size: Tiny" option.

Thanks! How do you determine the size of an island? I'm trying to find a "Tiny Island" on which to attempt winning the achievement of "Winning on a Tiny Island."
