I hope once all research and breakthrough are done they return back to normal or perhaps an unlock that reboots the deposits or something

That's easy to solve. Use pseudo random. Just throwing numbers out there but lets say it's 45% water 45% metal 10% rare metals. You get water your first roll, that means next roll would be 30% water 55% metal 15% rare. Eventually rare metals would be 100%That would be an interesting solution.
Once you research everything you can work on projects to uncover new Water / Metal / Rare Metal deposits (could be normal, or deep, or even both) that will become available once the research is complete. This could be repeated forever. Though someone would likely focus on Rare Metals and break the balance (again) or something like that. This could be solved by the discovery being random but then.... behold, you last 10 deposits discovered were 9x Water and one Metal, so another problem.![]()
One of the mysteries involves growing what is essentially a cash crop so that would be an obvious start.Yeah, I hope the increase is still built with the idea of permanent settlement in mind. After all, getting all the way to Mars and having to go home after a few dozen sols would be very frustrating.
Sustainable life on Mars needs to be a thing, and Martian based research is one of the revenue sources you can count on after all the minerals on the map are gone. This is what the colonists will look to transition to after the resource economy is gone or rendered nonunique. Post-resource economy potentials are an important way that colonist games emulate history, and they need to be a thing in the game. Be careful how much you nerf that.
If science becomes a diminishing-returns deal that peters out after awhile, then cash crops or another form of renewable resources, or tourism, need to be elements in the game. Some form of continuing revenue stream to fund the resources Mars One needs to keep operating. Maybe sponsoring other colonies on Mars. Maybe sponsoring colonies deeper into space. Something to permit Mars 1 to become a springboard to large scale Martian colonization, rather than a 100 year wonder followed by a long career as ghost town.
There's plenty of game to be had after initial survival after all. And I know you're probably carving that territory out for DLC for the future to expand the mid to late game experience, but give us some good thing to making sure it stays valuable in the meantime, because being able to keep playing a favorite save file IS one step in the direction of player retention.
I'm old enough to remember when you bought games on CDs. How on earth did we get updates in those days OR did we just play broken games?
The "release now, fix later" attitude is far more widespread nowadays.
I don't get why people insist on quoting it without the article regardless of what he actually said. The full quote without the "a" does not many any sense.Random fact about the title:
Lance Armstrong claimed that he said "That's one small step for a man" but linguist John Olsson and author Chris Riley analyzed the increased quality of the audio and claim that he did not include the 'a'.
Good ol' times ... I remember my first C64 with a Datasette. And typing listings from game magazines...In the days before Internet became prevalent, there were game magazines with 3 1/4" disks (and later CD-ROMs) containing demos and patches. I still have a bunch of them - I'm a bit of a packrat, plus I want to have the patches in case I ever install the games again.![]()
I remember, we visited the bbs of the local computergame magazine to download any patches the maker had distributed, or a bit later scoured the internet for any patches from the most trustworthy sites, which definitely did not include any viruses in the exes.I'm old enough to remember when you bought games on CDs.

It affects both.Does the patch affect current saves or only newly started games?
will this unlock the rocket already blocked?Gameplay: Fix for Rocket take-off in some cases
