# GAMEPLAY

The game loop of Paradise Tycoon is based on **collecting resources, crafting, trading, building, and questing**. This loop is designed to maintain player engagement and provide a consistent sense of progression, combined with an added layer of metagame features such as user generated events and competitions.

Whether you want to play casually or delve deep into production optimization, Paradise Tycoon offers flexibility to suit your gaming style. For those aiming to progress as fast as possible or reach the top ranks in competitive events, optimizing production can provide the needed edge. The more advanced your buildings, the more resources they will need for construction. **Optimizing your resource production is key to accelerating progress**, **unlocking new in-game content, and expanding your tropical empire**. From constructing buildings, refineries to farming crops, or crafting NFT tools with specific abilities, every action matters and influences your path to prosperity.
