Nutrients SMAC Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri

Nutrients SMAC

Nutrients are a SMAC Resource in Firaxis' TBS Game of 1999, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri (SMAC). Nutrients are key to SMAC Growth.

Nutrients are produced in squares with sufficient Rainfall, sometimes supplemented by the addition of Farms and similar enhancements.

Every citizen at a base must "eat" two Nutrients per turn to survive.

Surplus nutrients are stored. When sufficient surplus nutrients have been accumulated, a base will grow, producing a new citizen.
