Finite Resources - Time Limit?

[Bomoo]

So... one thing that I've heard Per Aspera whiffed on was seeding limited resources in the game world such that you could run out of water or iron partway through the terraforming process and get stuck. I.e. it does not model the hydrological cycle and any water consumed by settlements is effectively deleted.

My question is are you considering modelling some way to recover resources and stay in the game after a significant portion of the surface resources have been used. For example, say you use up all the surface iron ore and cities start shrinking because there's no longer any steel bars for reinforced concrete in play. Or sulfur for concrete for that matter.

For now there are really really a lot of resource. Like, the game normal end is 1million pop but if you want you can push them to 20 or 30 million pop, still enough resource. especially as in mid & late game you have recycling (which is enough to keep population stable, not enough to grow).

But of the ideas that could be done during EA (really 0 promise there) is to add a system of underground minerals , that would be discovered by sending satellite.. maybe for new minerals or/and existing minerals, to get more of them

That'd be cool to see in an expansion.

Maby some space ship to moon? Can make some like 300-350 places with 250-300 places with different resources or perhaps even more planets :D Gooood work People ;D

Resources aren't that limited, as I had enough to push my cities to 100,000+ populations. Even with me starting global warming there's enough aluminium and iron ores to push them higher!
