Every war machine needs fuel, and in MafiaKill that fuel is energy. Energy units are the resource that gangs burn to launch attacks, run operations and upgrade their buildings. Without a steady flow of energy, even the most heavily armed family grinds to a halt.
Energy comes from energy factories — buildings you can own, run and trade just like any other business. This guide explains what energy is used for, how an energy factory works, the numbers behind production and resale, and why the open market for energy is one of the most player-driven economies in the game.
What Is Energy For?
Energy units are the fuel behind the gang side of MafiaKill. Gangs use energy to power attacks and to upgrade their facilities and buildings. Every gang action that matters — pushing territory, running operations, growing your family's infrastructure — consumes energy from a shared pool.
Because energy is stored centrally by the gang, it works differently from cash in your pocket. One strong supplier can power an entire family, which makes energy producers extremely valuable allies. It also means energy demand is constant: gangs always need more, whether they are building up in peacetime or burning through reserves in a war.
New players often underestimate how much energy a busy gang burns. A single upgrade, a handful of attacks and one territory push can eat through thousands of units in an afternoon. The gangs that thrive treat energy as a first-class resource — tracked, topped up and never allowed to hit zero at the wrong moment.
- Powers gang attacks and operations.
- Upgrades gang facilities and buildings.
- Fuels territory pushes and gang warfare.
Pro Tips
- Check your gang's energy reserves before declaring war — running dry mid-fight is a disaster.
- If your gang lacks a producer, make energy buying a regular budget line, not an emergency purchase.
- Track your gang's burn rate — knowing how fast the tank empties tells you when to buy.
Buying an Energy Factory
An energy factory costs 500 credits — the game's premium currency. That puts it alongside the international bullet factory as one of the premium production investments, but with a different payoff: instead of ammunition, it generates the energy that fuels gang warfare.
The economics are attractive. Each unit of energy costs roughly 20 cash to produce, and on the open market a unit can resell for up to around 50 cash. That gap — a potential margin of more than double — is what makes energy production such a tempting business for players who want passive income.
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Factory price | 500 credits |
| Production cost | ≈ 20 cash per unit |
| Resale price | Up to ≈ 50 cash per unit |
| Storage cap | 10,000 energy |
Pro Tips
- Produce energy in bulk and sell at the top of the market range to maximise your margin.
- 500 credits is an investment — measure it against how many units you can realistically sell.
Gangs, Storage and Warfare
Energy is stored centrally within a gang, with a storage cap of 10,000 units. That shared pool is what powers the gang's buildings and its warfare. When a gang launches an attack or upgrades a facility, it draws from this central reserve rather than from any individual member.
The 10,000-unit cap creates real strategy around storage. Gangs that produce their own energy can keep the tank full and never hesitate when an opportunity appears. Gangs that rely on the market must time their purchases carefully — because once the reserve is empty, the whole family is effectively grounded.
- Central storage — the gang shares a single energy pool.
- 10,000 unit cap — the maximum the gang can hold at once.
- Powers attacks, operations and building upgrades.
- War consumption — extended campaigns drain the reserve fast.
Pro Tips
- Keep the tank topped up before major operations; empty energy means a cancelled attack.
- If you hold a lead, stockpiling energy prevents rivals from buying it out from under you.
The Energy Market
Energy is bought and sold on the open market, and because gangs are always hungry, that market never sleeps. Players who run energy factories are running a real business: produce at around 20 cash, sell up to around 50 cash, and manage inventory against the 10,000 cap.
Prices on the energy market are player-driven. When several gangs are preparing for war at once, demand spikes and prices climb toward the ceiling; when the city is quiet, producers undercut each other to move stock. Understanding that rhythm is how you profit — and how you keep your own gang cheaply fuelled.
Pro Tips
- Sell into demand: list energy when multiple gangs are visibly gearing up for war.
- Watch market lows to restock your own gang's reserves cheaply.
- Diversify into bullet factories too — energy and ammunition demand often spike together.
- Aim to sell in the 45–50 cash range during war peaks and hold back when the market is soft.
Pro Tips
- 1.An energy factory at 500 credits is one of the best passive businesses in the game.
- 2.At up to 50 cash resale against 20 cash production, margins are strong — but only if you actually sell.
- 3.The 10,000 cap means you cannot hoard forever; turn surplus into cash regularly.
- 4.Gangs live or die on fuel — be the player who keeps the city's families running.
- 5.Energy and bullet prices are both driven by war demand; expect them to rise together.
- 6.Solo players can profit too — sell your factory's output on the open market instead of joining a gang.
- 7.Schedule regular sales so production never stalls against the 10,000 storage cap.
