* Resource processing
If the resources can be be depleted completely, until nothing can be constructed or bought anymore, add finite resources as well.

May also involve resource distribution.

Requires that there are "harvesters" out there harvesting the resources, usually these are also a weak link in your resource system as the harvesters can be harmed.
