Are resources unlimited?

[Cardboard]

I'm used to a lot of games where it's best to resource efficient. I only ever make what i need as i need it.

Do mines run out ever?

In this game with all the factories and conveyors, I'm wondering if it's best to set up say a screw constructor and just let it go permanently? Rather then making only the screws you need at one time?

Like steel plates. You need them for multiple reasons. So Should I have one set up go just for my self and say a second steel plate constructor for my assembler, and maybe a 3rd steel plate constructor for what ever else I might need some where else.

I hope you get what I'm saying. It's hard for to explain this right now.

All items you don't need for building or unlocking can be use to gain more coupons in the Awesome Sink. With these coupons you can buy new things in the awesome shop. You alway need more of some item to make something new.

Nodes never run out. The only resource that is limited is you.

All resources from nodes are infinite; and water is infinite, too. Your only limits are the purity of the node, the machine speeds, and your belt/pipe throughputs.

It is highly recommended to have your machines running all the time. Get yourself a storage container at the end of every line so you can stock up on anything when you need it, or send any excess materials into an Awesome Sink to generate points to earn coupons for unlocks in the Awesome Shop.

All resources that come from mineral veins are infinite, Only limited by how much your miner can pull out per minute. They never run out.So, Build to automate everything and you'll do fine.

The only finite resources are Leaves, Wood, Flower Petals, and afaik, Mycelia. You will, eventually, have chopped all flora in the world if you keep at it long enough. But you shouldn't need to chop even a quarter of it, let alone all of it.

While probably the result of a bug, there are a number of "trees" in the Dune Desert that are not destroyed by the Chainsaw, but still provide their yields every time you use it on them. Until such time as this is fixed, you have access to an infinite source of Mycelia, since they are a fungus rather than a tree and yield Mycelia instead of Wood (you'll still get wood from the bushes in the chainsaw's AoE).

Mycelia eventually grows back, I cleaned out a few places that had it, only for the fungus to grow back latter, this is actually a good thing since its needed for the inhalers.

Plants aren't supposed to respawn, but due to bugs sometimes they do.

i believe the only resource that runs out is S.A.M. ore

It doesn't. You can just only mine a certain amount per sessions with a Miner.
