Your resource balance can be found at the top of the DOMINION tab.
Your resource production can be found on the OVERVIEW tab.
At the bottom of the OVERVIEW tab you will see 4 lines showing your Hourly Resource Production, Decay, Consumption and Total. This presentation is horribly confusing. @Shadowing, I strongly recommend you remove Decay from this area.
DEFINITIONS:
Hourly Resource Production - the amount of resources produced from the Slave Camps of all your planets combined. This amount includes adjustments for Efficiency and Pyramids.
Resource on Hand - the amount of resources shown at the top of the DOMINION tab. This is your storehouse of extra resources produced beyond what was consumed at the time.
Decay - Every hour 2% of your Resources on Hand spoil or "decay".
Consumption - This is the amount of resources immediately used by your military units. If you have zero military units, you will have zero consumption. Every jaffa, glider, bomber, mothership and flagship consumes resources.
Total - This number should be completely disregarded. I recommend Shadowing remove it. The number is meaningless and, on Abydos, is red for almost everyone causing confusion.
Here is an example of my Resource information from Abydos
I have 15,247,360 Resources on Hand. If you multiply that number by .02 you get 304,947 which is my Decay. Every hour 2% of any extra resources disappear. For most players, this is meaningless.
As shown in the image, I produce 173,250 resources per hour. I consume 73,195 per hour which means I have a Resource Surplus of 100,055 per hour. That means I can support all of my existing military units. In fact, I can double the size of my military and still have extra resources. Despite the alarming red "Total" showing I am -200,000+ resources per hour, I am in fantastic shape.
Once Shadowing enables the final component of the Resources feature, if you fail to produce enough Resources (i.e. your Consumption exceeds Production) AND you don't have enough Resources on Hand to cover the difference, you will begin losing military units. This is very serious! In the past, you were prevented from building new military units if your military limit was not high enough. Now, you can build them but you lose them.
I hope this message clears up any confusion.

Thank you for this post. I have been trying to figure out what resources was for, and how they work. I still have not found your posted video lol.
