Stone depleted and can't be replenished

[Lady Jane]

The stone have been depleted in one of my Province. I could not replenish it via Replenish Mine Card. Is this a bug/glitch? I know there are plenty of mountains to harvest stones from, but eventually those too will run out. lol.

stones cannot be replenished. Only the additional resources (coal, iron, gold, gems, etc.)

If it ever gets to the point where you have no stone available from any mountains and you've fully expanded your territory, its time to either setup a new colony to ship stone back from or your economy will be at a strong enough point where you can just casually import it through the trading companies.
It should take quite a long time for you to get through all of the stone available on the map.

Honestly it feels like stone shouldn't be depletable via mountains, it should just have a lower mining rate compared to other resources.

Gameplay wise it doesn't make much sense because stone is required for a great number of buildings and consumable resources, meaning you are chewing through it at a pretty constant rate and there is never enough. Whereas the map has a technically finite amount of stone that can be accessed at all, there are no unlimited sources. Are most of us going to get to the point where all of it is depleted? Probably not, but still, it shouldn't come down to the players being softlocked just because "you've played for too long".

And realism wise it doesn't make sense either, because...it from a mountain. If you run out of stone, that mountain is no longer there.

Agree. It doesn't make sense to drop the stone replenishment. It's pretty much like coal. You need it for everything and it should be part of the replenishment feature. And it's annoying to expand just for stone and create new roads and routes just for this.

From a realism perspective, sure. But if you mine the entire mountain out, you can't replenish the other resources there either.

My big problem is not being able to have intersecting roads within a mountainside once tunneling becomes available more.
