Resources can be discovered in towns and automatically produced every Towny day (24 hours), providing a steady income of goods to both the town and its nation.
Resources are uncovered by performing surveys. Provided the population is high enough, each successive survey increases the Resource Level by 1 and uncovers a new resource. The surveys needed in order to find a new resource in each Resource Level can only be undertaken in towns that have surpassed a certain number of claims.
¶ Surveys
- Resources are discovered through surveys.
- To perform a survey for your town, stand inside its claims and type
/t resources survey. - The cost of the survey is taken from your personal balance (see table below).
- The first survey will reveal a Level 1 resource, the second survey will reveal a Level 2 resource, and so on.
| Resource Level | Survey Cost | Minimum Claims Required for Survey | Minimum Population Required For Extraction |
| 1 | $500 | 10 | 2 (Hamlet tier) |
| 2 (2 resource types) | $1,000 | 50 | 6 (Village tier) |
| 3 (3 resource types) | $5,000 | 100 | 16 (Town tier) |
| 4 (4 resource types) | $15,000 | 200 | 28 (Large City tier) |
| 5 (5 resource types) | $30,000 | 400 | 54 (Conurbation tier) |
| 6 (6 resource types) | $50,000 | 600 | 78 (Megalopolis tier) |
¶ Production
Once discovered through a survey, resources will be automatically produced by their town once each Towny day, provided it has a high enough population. (See the table above.)
¶ Nation Resource Taxes
By setting a resource tax, nations can collect a percentage of the resources produced by their towns.
- The resource tax can be set using
/n set resourcetax <percentage>, where percentage is between 0 (no resources) and 100 (all resources) - By default, the resource tax is 0% and the nation will not collect any resources.
- Towns can be given a specific resource tax that overrides the nation resource tax.
/n set resourcetaxfortown <town> <percentage>- The town-specific resource tax can be removed by setting its percentage to 0.
If a town is occupied by a nation, then all of its resources will be collected by the occupying nation.
¶ Collecting Resources
After resources have been produced, they become available for collection. Resources produced and ready for collection by a town or nation are shown on the town information screen (/t) and nation information screen (/n), respectively.
- Town Mayors, Comayors and Assistants can collect the resources produced by their town into their inventory, by typing
/t resources collectwhile standing inside their town. - Nation Leaders, Coleaders, Chancellors and Treasurers can collect any taken resources into their inventory, by typing
/n collectresourceswhile standing inside the nation's capital town.
¶ Resource List
The resource type discovered can be influenced by the biome of the town's homeblock.
