Using more difficult spots will cost you more effort and resources. This is presented by the Overbuild modifier, starting with a base value and 8 extra buildings for each town level.

Base values:
- Beginner area = 150
- Normail area = 125

You can also make space and destroy not needed buildings via Inventory->Buildings->Destroy. All building destroyed that way give back some of resources.
