Re: What to do when asteroids are exhausted?
 

It's in Settings.txt:

"Remote Mining Decreases Asteroid Value := True"
Just switch to False. I assume it works for planets, too.

Yeah, I'm going to switch to bases next time (actually this time, because I'm already starting my third game!) for remote mining.

you can always blow up planets to make more asteroids. sure, its satisfying to land the marines and seize a planet... but its alot more satisfying to send in a robotic organics harvister to suck up the remains of the 40 billion inhabitants of someones homeworld that you just blew into chunks with a techtonic bomb.
