Assuming you allow them to deplete asteroid values, of course. It makes no sense that they deplete the values. Building mining facilities on a planet does not decrease the planet's value, even though you can easily mine many times the amount of resources from facilities as you can from remote mining. Also, keep in mind that building a planet from the asteroids does nothing to the asteroid value, so the asteroid fields have to have the same amount of resources in them as the planets do. Why does a much slower rate of extraction (remote mining) deplete values, but the fast one does not?
