Bauxite is a raw resource used primarily in manufacturing Aluminum.
Bauxite is a Continent specific resource, only available to some nations. Nations in Africa, South America, and Australia have the ability to build Bauxite Mines in their cities to produce Bauxite.
Bauxite Mines produce 0.5 Bauxite per turn each, accumulating to 6 Bauxite per day. Bauxite Mines are reasonably cheap to build and operate, and never run out of Bauxite to mine. Each city can have up to 3 Bauxite Mines.
There are no National Projects that increase Bauxite production. To increase Bauxite Production, a nation must increase the number of Bauxite Mines it has.
Bauxite is a necessary component in producing Aluminum. Aluminum is a very valuable manufactured resource used in building Aircraft, Missiles, Improvements, and much more.
