Infinite Resources

[Druid1000]

So far the games tells you that there is an option for infinite resources but unfortunately they are just in large quanitities. Will there be any possible way to make it really infinite? When u want to play like forver? I enjoy the game so much :D

You have research and the council to decrease the overall output of specific resources. If you focus on a resource correctly, it should technically last you a loooooooong time.

Sure, but they're asking about proper infinite resources, like in FP 1, as far as I'm aware, they don't actualy exist

So if you complete a full campaign run; you can go into settings and select endless mode; which does offer infinite resources ONLY in utopia builder mode

So it's a setting that you unlock only AFTER completting the main story?

This isnt quite correct

There is a setting yes but i completed the story and cant toggle it because it says you have to die as captain at least one time when you hover your mouse over it

Thank you for the information this is exactly what i was looking for ^^. I have just one additional question. Does it cover only deposits next to city or ourposts path aswell?

During the story you get access to melting drills, which cost a steam core to build. When placed on a resource with an infinity symbol you have effectively infinite resources of that type. There is technically a finite amount, but it'll run out after thousands of weeks.

Apparently after 2t weeks in endless it is possible to turn it on.

The oil is running out very quickly

It is genuinely a shame, I had a material colony with uhm, 1 deep node, the rest were iron which ran out pretty quick.

I'd like to make some infinite resource buildings, but the editor is pretty hard to use for me personally, I'm inexperienced with unreal engine sadly.

Still trying though.

and so just a zero would be added) It's not difficult.

I dont know if it works in the sandbox mode, but atleast in the story mode i was able to upgrade outposts so that they do no longer have a maximum resource limit. You need to proceed with the adaption ideology, so that you can unlock the upgrade to real endless supply outposts. it has a onetime cost (steamcores etc.) and then it requires a constant food and oil supply. This is the only reason why i survived the game on captain + survival, while my main city has fallen into max chaos, my resources still got farmed outside xD

I'd like to make a genuinely infinite source, so my current ambition that the editor keeps stopping is to make a new building with an associated late game tech for huge manpower into raw materials from industrial districts, or maybe housing for the sake of not shutting down when mats are low.
