Fox's guide to resources in Tropico 6

Most buildings in Tropico 6 have at least one upgrade or alternative work mode, and it's hard to memorize them all. With some of them, it becomes slightly difficult to determine whether a resource is renewable or not, as well - so I made a handy guide you can check with when you need a resource and can't remember what your options to get it are!

Bear in mind, this guide makes no mention of eras or research - some resources start out non-renewable, but become renewable as you progress.

Here's a list of all the resources in the game with the buildings that produce them, the buildings that consume them, and whether or not they're renewable.

Note that this only takes industrial buildings into account - eg. food is also consumed by your citizens, raid buildings sometimes require you to supply a certain amount of a resource to overcome a setback, etc. These are not listed here.

Here's a table of all the good prices and their availability.

Tier describes how far down the production chain a good can be made:

• Tier 1 goods are the basic ones - they require nothing to produce. They're mined, harvested, cultivated, or otherwise produced "out of nothing".
  
• Tier 2 goods are made from one or more Tier 1 goods
  
• Tier 3 goods are made from one or more Tier 2 goods
  
• Tier 3(+1) goods are made from one or more Tier 2 goods and one or more Tier 1 goods

Food is consumed and sold in Groceries and Shopping Malls. Consumer goods are consumed and sold in Shopping Malls. A Shopping Mall with the luxury goods upgrade can additionally sell Luxury goods (thanks Zeekay980 for pointing that out!)
