The star is the in-game currency of Polytopia. It is used for training units, buying technologies, harvesting resources, and constructing buildings.

Stars are produced every turn by cities and buildings like the Market. This income is measured in stars per turn (SPT). One-time sources of stars can also be obtained from various methods, outlined below.
