Non-renewable resources brings up a slew of issues that we'll have to see and solve in the future, as Proximo said. Currently I feel it takes to long to get to iron nodes, we spent around six hours (two to three players digging continuously) prospecting around one vein. Still haven't found it (it's within four tiles, apparently.) I don't think the issue is LACK of resources, as we know one 'block' of iron is a massive amount of mined ore. It's really the outrageous time commitment it takes to find and mine down to the node itself, as surface veins are rare and good for those lucky few. I'm sure we'll see tinkering in the future with terraforming times.
