# Resources & Shooter Progression

Once your HQ path is under control, you need resources and hero progression to keep the account moving.

## Step 3: Keep Core Resource Buildings Running

Your shelter has three important basic resource-production buildings:

<table id="bkmrk-buildingproducesfarm"><colgroup><col></col><col></col></colgroup><tbody><tr><th>Building</th><th>Produces</th></tr><tr><td>**Farmhouse**

</td><td>Food

</td></tr><tr><td>**Lumberyard**

</td><td>Wood

</td></tr><tr><td>**Wind Turbine**

</td><td>Electricity

</td></tr></tbody></table>

These resources support construction, building upgrades, and troop training.

However, early progression generally benefits more from:

**HQ prerequisites • Events • Gathering • Rewards**

than from trying to max every production building.

### Don't Let Resource Buildings Distract You

Upgrade them when useful, but don't delay an important HQ prerequisite simply because another resource building can be upgraded.

Your goal is **efficient progression**, not equal building levels.

## Step 4: Push Shooter Stages

Don't ignore **Shooter stages** while developing your shelter.

Shooter stages provide useful rewards, including **XP crates for leveling your heroes**.

The different Shooter modes also contribute to long-term progression and feed into each other.

### When Construction Slows Down

Long building timers don't mean your progression has to stop.

Use that time to:

- Push Shooter stages
- Earn rewards
- Collect Hero XP
- Gather resources
- Participate in events
- Prepare for your next required upgrade

**Your builders may be busy, but your account shouldn't be idle.**
