Just like it says on the tin, I would love it if there were a discreet box we could tick or a dropdown menu option we could toggle to stop mineral deposits from being depleted every tick due to mining operations. I sometimes enjoy setting up peaceful scenarios (like an ancient, isolated sublight sleeper ship arriving in a desolate system after centuries of travel, etc. ) without any enemies, where I mostly just play a relaxing game of Space SimCity against noone in particular. Since those tend to not degenerate into quite the same extremely slow turn speeds of regular games that have exploring and fighting NPRs, the years go by much faster and resources get used up faster too. Currently, I use SpaceMaster mode to top off deposits every now and then, but I'd like for there to be a more elegant solution. It's just a single player game, after all, so no harm done!
