I've been doing so in this latest game of mine and am not regretting it at all. You may not have all you need of every mineral, but it should give you enough to forestall running out completely.
Indeed. I never realized how bad the mineral crunch could be recently, but I've created colonies on all the decent comets so no civilians try to mine them out and at the moment I have about five or six automated comet mining stations that are keeping pace with my current construction Still, I'm going to have to leave Sol sooner or later.
