===Step 2: Stockpile the target resource===
You can use various tactics to get the [[resource]]:

* Use [[Filthy Pirates]] to intercept multiple shipments of the given resource, e.g. [[carbon]] or [[water]]. Usually factories are built adjacent to the HQ so you cannot pirate non-raw products.
* Use the [[Hacker Array]] to fake a surplus of the resource, then buy a lot of it.
* If you have some claims to spare, build 2 or 3 buildings to harvest/manufacture the resource and build up some stock.
* You can also just buy it off the market without doing any of the above.

Note: [[Power]] cannot be stockpiled in this way. Simply build the power plants you need. However, getting the tech for stockpiling power can help you if power is your target resource.
