Do resources respawn?

[Lazy Joe]

After mining every astroid in the area and salvaging the derelicts, is there anything reason to every go back? Will new resources appear randomly?

I cleared my first system out in the first 20 minutes or so. 3 hours later, no resources respawned. I think it's finite.

So eventually its game over huh?

Im kinda checking out if this game has the possibility to make you self-sustain your ship and crew like rimworld is capable of.

I havent tried to attack friendly ships yet, you think if i board those and just start blasting, i could salvage those too?

Nope, resources do not respawn, you should move to further systems and galaxies

Did have a strange occurrence in a system with a claimable ship, I stripped both the claimable ship and derelict down for scrap, later I saw another icon on the map so went back and found a complete ship with 4 crew that showed as belonging to me... Had no resources but otherwise was fully functional. Not a design I had seen before. Bug or some sort of dynamic derelict spawn?

A new galaxy gets generated when done the starter galaxy which is itself massive, or so they say.

Sometimes the crew of NPC ships die off and you find "new" derelicts...

I have this happening at every start of a new system. Claim and salvage, move a couple of planets away and go back. Have a crew of 14 now and I'm in the 3rd system.

Confirming that new galaxy is formed when current galaxy is completed, so its infinite.
