Well, I have a pure 1.30 game going (except for some tweaks to construction/production bonuses for planetary populations over 10B, which no-one's reached yet
). I'm at turn 40 or 50 (2404.x or 2405.x). However, I just looked in on all the AI players, and none of them are having resource problems. In fact, most of them are doing better at building storage facilities than I am, and you should see the production surpluses! One race is producing 170,000 (!!) more minerals per turn than they're using! It's really quite impressive.
