Part 7

Navigate Deadlock Part 7 by understanding resource management, including refined ores like Endurium and Triidium, and mastering military unit production and deployment.

This section of the guide covers crucial aspects of Deadlock, focusing on resource management and military unit deployment. Understanding how to effectively utilize refined ores and produce the right units will be key to your success.

Resource Management:

Refined ores such as Iron, Endurium, Steel, and Triidium are essential for construction. Each metal has a point value used to determine building costs, with a specific preference order for consumption: Triidium > Steel > Endurium > Iron. Utilizing higher-value metals can reduce the overall resources and transportation costs for construction.

Electronics:

Electronics are required for advanced vehicles and certain units. They are not produced in large quantities by basic research buildings, necessitating either research upgrades or additional universities to increase production.

Art Pieces:

Art Pieces are unique structures that boost colony morale. They are produced by Art Complexes, with increased chances of production based on the number of colonists assigned and the presence of multiple Art Complexes. These buildings have no upgrades and occupy a significant amount of space.

Military Units:

Military units are vital for victory. All unit values presented are neutral and can be boosted by faction-specific bonuses.
