Resources

Resources allow to fund different quarantines, responses, and operations in Cure Mode. They are the equivalent to DNA Points.
The raising of funds is strongly linked to certain events that occur during the game such as the general concern about the disease and the priority given by the governments of the world to contain it, such as the rapid spread of a disease in a certain region of the world, the abrupt growth of the number of infections or the number of deaths generated by the disease during a short period of time, alerts the population and governments to be concerned about the disease.[Note 1]
Due to these events, the player will receive more funds depending on the state of the countries, so if a disease becomes mild he will receive funds in a slower way but while the disease is much more lethal and dangerous, the player will receive more resources to be able to cope in a much faster way due to the people's concern.[Note 1] At the beginning of the game it is not necessary to spend a lot of money on quarantine measures, except if the player's strategy is to use immediate quarantine to obtain certain results or if it is a type of pathogen which requires a previous analysis before the development of a vaccine is started. Additionally, unlike response and operations, quarantine measures can be refunded for additional resources when these measures are no longer needed, which helps to manage the budget in the case that an outbreak will take a long time to cure or eradicate.[Note 2]
The player will have the option to alter how resources are obtained when facing certain diseases, such as Nano-Virus, in which, the player will have the possibility to use the "Cryptomining" Operation, which allows to use certain weaknesses present in the Nano-Virus code in order to siphon additional resources over time.
Task Force
There are two advisors that allow the player to alter in a certain way the way resources are obtained or spent. These are Procurement Director, which allows resource bubbles to be automatically pressed, similar to the Metabolic Hijack gene found in the main game, mainly this Advisor is useful when performing speedruns or very fast games.
Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Funds are the basic conditions for investment to unlock various targeted measures. In addition to gradually obtaining funds over time in the game, the spread of the disease itself (an area is infected, the number of infected people rises, and too many deaths) is the main way to obtain funds. That said, if the infection from the disease is minimal, you won't get much money. - Translation of a paragraph from the Cure Mode Guide written by 猫哥的猫 published in 2022[1] 资金则是投资解锁各项针对措施的基本条件，游戏中除了随着时间流逝逐渐获得资金外，疾病的扩散本身（一个地区被感染、感染人数上升、过多死亡）是资金获取的主要途径，也就是说，如果疾病造成的感染影响很小，你也不会得到多少经费。
- ↑ "Unless you are waiting for analysis (like prion, fungus (due to high infection rate at the start of the game), bioweapons), do not bother buying them unless you want to try to use quarantine action to your advantage. If you are experienced to control your budget/non compliance, use some quarantine options, since the majority of quarantine option can be refunded for full amount of resources spent" Excerpt from the Cure Mode Guide originally published at the end of 2020 on Steam (Credits: Shadyneko, Al Gorithm and CyndicateOfDoom)[2]
