Zero Resource Production game idea

Yes they do. They add resources as a percentage of planetary value. The more value the planet has remaining, the higher the value improvemnet planet will add to it. Conversly if you allow the planet to get all the away to zero you will get nothing from the value improvement plant.

This sounds broken... A planet with enough intial resources and a value improvement plant can produce an infinite number of resources! That sorta defeats the concept of a finite resources game. Granted, the whole point of the value improvement plants is to "generate" resources, so it might make more sense for them to generate a fixed number of resources instead of doing so as a percentage. This is still infinite resources, but hopefully on a smaller scale. Perhaps enough to supply 3 mineral mining facilities.
