Do you guys play with infinite resources?

[D-Jak]

I have not much experience with factory games (10h in Satisfactory, never played Factorio), but I do play a lot of city builders (Cities Skylines). Infinite resources help me a lot at the beginning in Dyson Sphere to not worry about resources but instead focusing on how the mechanics work. So I am grateful for that.

What about you guys? Finite resources? How long do the resources even last on normal multiplier?

[yes]

everything on default, like the devs intendend, like every first playthrough of any game i play.

i want to get the idea they had in mind when they created the game.

lol I didn't even realize that was an option while starting.

I just checked. the first iron deposit I used is down to like 2 or 3 nodes but there are plenty elsewhere. I think the balance is pretty good and you do have infinite oil.

I do tho wish there was a creative mode to test setups in a temporary world.

Yep Infinit Resources all the way. Not sure why it's not default like that. If not, you'd be running around planets, stripping them, then abandoning them those planets and act like a locust stripping the entire galaxy.

show us on the doll where the space locust swarm touched you inappropriately :D

seriously tho, when I play factorio, I usually increase the density by a little bit but I HATE playing with infinite resources. I like to have to clean out an area and it sorta charges me to do something about the new area I can expand my factory to.

In here, I noticed that there's a way to hide resources or something using the platforms. sorta scared to try it tho. but I have some stone resources smack in the middle where I wanna place down my new factory and I am eyeing it for that.

Sometimes I do, sometimes not.
Playing with infinite resources doesn't really change much. You're already going to be building on more than one planet.

The main reason I play with infinite is I don't like having a map/world/universe with a limited life due to resources.

Although, if a builder game offers a late game solution to resources (or can be modded to have such), such as deep veins or something like that, then I won't even consider making the resources infinite at start up.

I wish i did the same. I'm spending most of my time finding out where resources depleted and in which planet whenever productions halts somewhere. So annoying.

I'm just scared of using up my save space xD making it infinite is while nice gonna screw up my space if I ever do make a huge base.

I didn't realise that was an option, that's for this thread.

[Paolini]

Playing with infinite seems too easy

[Summercat]

I just started a new game...

...and put the resources to 0.5x.

Cause I'm awesome.

Thanks for the replies. There seems to be all types of players.

I'm sticking to infinite resources for now. Just because I don't want to rebuild a whole production site, when resources deplete.
