The Resource Converter has the ability to convert one resource into another. There are 4 different ways to transform a particular resource into a different type. In some situations, this can be very useful. The conversion rate seems very low to many and is meant for emergencies. Unlike the other constructions, there are 4 levels to the Resource Structures rather than 5. This feature was added on April 14, 2007.
