Cities produce other resurses too and give a lot of research/intelligence points. Also storage and cargo space.

Half of cities minerals comes from "solar wind" so in case of 50% planet city in fact operates like on 75% ! Of course opposite effect shows up on >100% planets which you should indeed strip mine. But given my rotten luck I normally must squeeze most from the typical 10/20/15 planet
