| The amount generated remains the same, regardless of how much of a mineral is on (or in) the planet. So no real advantage to not mining things out. The only real reason not to build mines is the cost. Both the cost to build them, and also mines have a slight negative effect on happiness. So you don't want to build more than you need. For example, even if you can build enough mines to get all the minerals mined out in 2 turns, if you don't need them in that time frame, you would be just as well off to build fewer mines and get them in 5 turns or so instead.
The other reason I sometimes don't build mines (or factories) is if I'm taking a planet in a highly contested area. If I think it's likely I will lose the planet again, I often don't develop it because I don't want the invaders to be able to supply themselves off it. |
