Industry
Industry () is a FIDSI resource used by cities to carry out the production of units, city improvements, expansions, and more.
A few factions have unique interactions with Industry:
- The
Wild Walkers gain +1
on terrain with Forests during Summer due to their "Living Towns" trait.
- The
Morgawr gain +2
on terrain with Sea or Lake and +1
on terrain with River due to their "Hydrophilic" trait.

Production[edit]
These are the primary ways to produce additional Industry in a city or across the empire.
Terrain[edit]
Basic Terrain[edit]
Of the basic terrain types Forest, Rocks, and Volcanic terrain provide bonuses to Industry, though the amount can vary. For forests the Cold Forest, Crystal Forest, Palm Trees, Taiga, and Temperate Forest all provide 2 , while the Enchanted Forest, Mountain Forest, Savanna, and Wetland provide 1
. All Rocks except the Crystal Field and Crystal Ice provide 1
. For Volcanic terrain, the Ash Drifts, Badlands, and Lava Swirls provide 1
, Barren Soil and Basalt Plains provide 2
, and the Scorched Wilds provide 3
.
Lava Flows provide +1 on tiles they pass through in addition to the tile's normal output.
Anomalies[edit]
Anomalies on a tile provide an additional bonus to its FIDSI output, and there are a number of anomalies that provide a bonus of 2, 4, or 6 on a tile.
- 2
: Caldera Lake, Dragon Tree, Geothermal Pit, Golden Tree, Igloo Larvae, Lava Geyser, Massive Tree, Ruby Cactus Fields, Steppe Soil, Weaver Worms, and Wizard Stone
- 4
: Clay, Earth Tower, Geysers, Meteor Fields, and Rumbling Stones
- 6
: Fumarole, Mineral Rich, Spiral Rock Peel, and Steel Stalks
City Improvements[edit]
This list includes any City Improvement that increases a city's Industry output, even indirectly. Some of the improvements listed have additional effects that do not affect Industry production, but for simplicity those effects are not listed.

Miscellaneous[edit]
Empire Plan[edit]
Tier 4 of the Science and Industry branch of the Empire Plan grants a bonus of +2 on Districts.
Resource Boosters[edit]
A number of Luxury resources (and Strategic resources for the Vaulters and Mezari) can be used to increase empire-wide Industry production.

Stockpiles[edit]
Industry Stockpiles can be applied to cities for a lump-sum quantity of Industry at the end of the turn.
Technology[edit]
The only technology that increases Industry output directly without the need to build a city improvement is the Era IV technology Endless Alloys, which increases the Industry output of cities by 100%.
Cost Reduction[edit]
Aside from simply producing Industry, there are also a number of ways to reduce the cost to produce buildings and units, though these methods often focus on one or the other.
These multipliers stack additively in the vanilla game, so you could reach 100% cost reduction for buildings. With ELCP, the stacking is multiplicative, making 100% cost reduction no longer possible.
Building cost reduction[edit]
- +33% from the level 2 Science and Industry Empire Plan.
- +12%/+24% from Behemoth Tamer (Wild Walkers hero skill).
- +5% per pacified Urces village in regions when assimilated (up to 30%).
- +25% from Wild Walkers quest technology Growing Buildings.
- +20% for Districts from Industrial Megapole.
Unit cost reduction[edit]
- +12%/+24% from Slave Driver (Necrophages hero skill).
- +12%/+24% from Game Theory (Roving Clans hero skill).
- +10%/+25% for naval units from Ship Builder (Morgawr hero skill).
- +10% for naval units and +1% per Fortress from Naval Architecture Facility.
