Tempest Rising features a core resource system that drives all your base building and unit production. The primary resources are:

Resource Management Fundamentals
  • Tempest: The main currency, harvested from Tempest Fields by Harvesters. Used for constructing buildings, training units, and researching upgrades. Maintaining a steady Tempest income is paramount.
  • Power: Generated by Power Plants. Most buildings require Power to operate. If your Power output is insufficient, buildings will go offline, severely impacting your production and defense.
  • Supply: Represents your army's capacity. Each unit consumes a certain amount of Supply. Building Supply Depots or similar structures increases your Supply limit. Reaching your Supply cap prevents you from training more units until you expand your Supply infrastructure.

Efficiently managing these three resources is the cornerstone of a strong economy and a powerful army. Always prioritize Harvester production and Power Plant construction early in a mission.
