Re: Limited Resources
I did a test bed today and found out that it does appear that finite resources are not really finite.
As to a Sphereworld a little investment can turn it into a infinite soures or resources of about 400KT of each resource each turn.
To accomplish this I create a sphereworld and then began building value improvment facility. ( I did this to the max of 999MT of each resource in the test). After doing a little figuring if you improve the planet to 150-200 MT of each resources you can then have 199 Monolith's III2 and 1 value improvement iii facility. The 3% increase on 200 MT will improve the value of the sphereworld by 6MT. During the 10 turns up to that point you have pulled 4-5MT out of the world depending on bonuses.
I find out that in a finite resource game that multiple value improvements planets where additive. At one point I was added almost 300% to the value of my Sphereworld finite resources a year. This increase the amount of resources by 300% of the base amount at the time.
This could also be used on smaller worlds as well. If my rough calculations are right, after getting a huge planet with adv storage to a value of 22MT you can then have 29 monoliths pulling out about 600KT of each resource with the 1 value improvement plant refeshing it each year.
This is can only be done if you have the time to invest in the process. Similar to compounding interest. Do you take a little know or do you invest into the future.
I guess this raises the question if Value improvement planets should be strictly additive or not.
