Exhausting Resources
For some reason, in my game, my strategic resources get exhausted, even when i dont use the resource to build anything.
For example my uranium got exhausted around 10 or 15 turns after i discovered it, and i didnt build ANYTHING that required it.
Also, earlier in the game, i discovered a new source of oil on my land, and it got exhausted the VERY NEXT TURN.
is something wrong with the game here?

I believe that resources can be exhausted based on a random number the game generates, the chance is very small, but still there. It doesn't matter if you you use it or not.

Oddly, the uranium in my game disappeared the very turn I completed my spaceship. I was still able to launch. According to the editor, horses and rubber have zero chance to disappear.

I wish to even *have* resources to disappear. I'm playing on a large 70-80% (can't remember which) archipelgo world. I basically control one whole continet (which shouldn't exist on an archipelego, but that's beside the point), and have world maps from everyone, and I've only found three sources of coal, none on my continent, despite the virtual rainforest at the southern end of it.
I hate random placement...
edit: I made a tpyo.

Hi Elite,
I had this happen to me too. I look at it this way. The resource was discovered but it turns out to be a bogus claim. OR, the amount turned out to be much smaller than expected. OR, an earthquake occured, causing a landslide which destroyed the area. OR, . . .
Get my point?
It surprised me at first but I kind of like the idea now.
Enjoy!

You can both exhaust and find resources ( some dont go away) each turn. In the editor there is a setting change for both for each resource so you can fine tune it if you like.

Yeah, I like the disappearing resources myself. It's called a challenge.
