This topic is to provide Stardock with suggestions for resources and creative ways each resource can be used. Each Resource should have at least two uses which increases its value and the games strategic depth. Ideally I hope we also have the option to add/change/remove resources via modding tools. Any resource can be traded... so I did not include this since it's obvious.
