Reverse Harvesting

The introduction of a dynamic economy in Coobico finally turns harvesting inside out.

Resources (necessary to build structures and earn gold) were harvested at resource-spots like Mines and Farms so far. However, the introduction of a dynamic economy in Coobico finally turns harvesting inside out: resources are now harvested around natural formations (like groups of trees or rocks), which in turn will be depleted temporarily after extracting a certain amount of raw goods. Such deposits replenish automatically after a while--but both mineable amount of resources and regeneration-time of a deposit can be optimized by building a resource-spot nearby. 
Harvesting still costs you happiness (work is not supposed to be funny). This is a game-mechanic that still proves to be fine and stable, as it will keep resource-farmers from throwing both economy and game-play out of balance.
