@@maxtheawesome4255 still, out of all the options available they've switched to the least efficient one. It's like choosing to purposefully waste extra resources. I know why this decision was made by the creators - for artist effect. On the other hand, instead of making me think "how horrible this is!", they make me go "how stupid this is!" And not just that, but the whole premise of "resources" running out is absurd. Innovation never stops, and so doesn't recycling. Claiming that resource will run out is like being in 1800s and saying that because whales are running out, we'll no longer have lubrication for machinery or lighting. Yet, we still have those and we no longer need it. Far more, the *effective* stock of resources is ever increasing: we can do more with the same amount of resources than we could've 100 years ago. Why build your game's world on such an absurd premise? It just makes things ridiculous
