State when Technology Mining is no longer producing product.
« on: November 25, 2018, 04:48:19 PM »

It would be nice to know when Tech-Mining is no longer viable. Sure, you can make an educated guess, but when a colony has so many other producers of the same products, it can be hard to tell if it is still worth having. I like to see it notify the player, or simply disappear, when it is exhausted.

Is it ever completely exhausted?
The building description is rather ambiguous.

It's storage-delivered output dries up, but commodity supply stays constant. And I think it does say so when depleted in industry description (don't have game at hand to make a screenshot).

There are 4 states of weapons/blueprints/etc. acquisition, displayed in the industry description as follows:

"These ruins are largely untapped."

"These ruins have been stripped of easy pickings, but the more difficult areas remain, filled with promise."

"These ruins have been combed through, though the chance for a few new finds still remains."

"These ruins have been comprehensively combed over multiple times, and there is little chance of a new valuable find."

Didn't know that existed. Thank you. I would like to see it a bit more prominently displayed, but I'm glad that it is shown at all.
