For those of you that are trying to maximize your resources, I just want to add that you might want to re-read pages 36-38 of the game manual."When you first arrive on Planet, you are generally unable to recover more than two of any one resource per turn..."
These limits are in place until you discover Gene Splicing (nutrients), Ecological Engineering (minerals), and Environmental Economics (energy).
I wasn't aware of these restrictions, and it caused me a lot of confusion when trying to figure out why my squares were not producing the resources that they should (or so I thought). So I thought I would post this for others who might be having the same problems.
I want to thank Primus for informing me of the two resource restriction limit.
