NOT applicable if the limited supply affects only "non-vital" supplies.
Also NOT applicable if only your favorite tool runs out of ammo or other maintenance supplies but other tools that do the same still have plenty and more.
This tag generally emphasizes that you don't use resources unless absolutely necessary, leaving many enemies and such alive rather than shooting or otherwise killing them. Limiting the use of vehicles if availability of fuel is part of this and so forth.
