Which would essentially mean that the only resource that matters is time. Now if you had unlimited resources, you would simply need to only expand to cover those resource nodes then bunker yourself in to a point where you can produce as much as you was indefinitely and no amount of biters could get in. Now the main problem with actually having infinite production resources is that all production resources go into expanding and researching. Thus there is no 'limitless' resource at all except for fuel and thus power. But the only thing that you can produce from only oil and nothing else is fuel. So basically the oil resource might be infinite. So the 'unlimited' aspect of oil isn't actually unlimited because every recipe that produces some form of solid component requires additional finite resources. Which can also be essentially unlimited through solar. The main issue here is that the only thing you can really produce 'infinitely' out of oil is solid fuel. The only appropriate way to deal with the extreme front-load of producing oil is having a very large crude resevoir and barely enough refineries to meet product demand. On that note, 'overproduction' is a problem with the oil industry.

Being hooked up to a small number of 0.1 'Depleted' fields means that you can 'keep' your technology, but it's throttled back until you expand out to a new patch and bring in some fresh barrels. Unlike any other process where you can easily see what's going wrong, Oil is a royal buttmunch when it comes to sorting out what went wrong.ДЄdding total oil resource depletion would essentially kick the player back into Greenpack technology once the field ran dry, and odds are, you aren't going to notice right away. if there is ANY kink in design, whether it's layout, consumption ratios, or even delayed research, it will break.

Oil is that gremlin that breaks your **** at the drop a hat. pardon the pun, but it's an accurate description of its problem.

What do you guys feel? And what is the feeling you devs want us to experience?ДЄs far as me, am I going to miss out much if I install one of those 'no depletion' mods out there? I'm really considering it. Depletion might come late, but it's inevitable Sure, that line might have been newbish, and flawed, and ugly, but I spent HOURS building it, defended it against invasions, and now I have to scrap it all, without any way to prevent it. Irrationally, I can't help but feel that I like the Oil approach a lot better. That's where the challenge lies into, having to constantly move forward as some kind of ore eating mechanical insect, slowly devouring the entire world.

Part of me says that's it's the entire point. And this got me into thinking:Дo I actually like that? Do I like having to tear down a major part of my factory, including coal supply, power cable, and iron plate to assembler delivery? Then, just today I experienced my first resource depletion from my iron mine, and am then in the process of relocating my entire iron line. and found that oil isn't a numbered resource, but rather an infinite, 'X per tick', resourceДЄnd I found that really interesting, considering it's quite different than any other resource I have gotten the game very recently, and just got into the whole oil extraction part.
