Without some kind of renewal option for consumable resources it would be impossible to build your colony past a certain point. Perhaps the final maps will be bigger and maybe multiple colonies that can ship resources between them. It would be unfortunate if the final game limited the size of colony in the map. even with the resource boosts all I can see posts about are the resources. Their has to be a way of making them either use less for items or get more resources from less trash or excavate trash piles to uncover more plastic metal etc, setup more then one camp and maybe deconstruct an industrial facility or who knows there are lots of ways to do it. But as things are with research and the number of buildings you can build and colony size there is way too little resources on the map.
