$sql="update users_contain
set
wood_max = (Select building_production from building_level where merge_id=$subPrimaryKey and empire_id=$user_empireID) ,
iron_max = wood_max,
clay_max = wood_max
where user_id = $user_id";
Now there is a question.
will wood_max will always be updated first than iron_max and clay_max. so it is safe to use this way?? i do not want to use inner query for updating the iron_max and clay_max when i know it has same value for all three fields..

According to this documentation, your UPDATE statement works as you want it to: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/ansi-diff-update.html
Test it to be sure, but I think you're fine.
