Alright, what I meant about the special resources was if they were accumulated now instead of being static. The last time I played if you had a starbase mining two Thulium nodes you would only have 2 Thulium available for using in buildings or other items, and if you used them up you had to expand to get more or research better mining techs. It looks like now they accumulate, so 2 Thulium nodes gives you 0.2 Thulium/turn and creates a stock pile for you to use for

I havent played the game since pre-Crusade. How do special resources work now? Do you just accumulate them like money and buildings and weapons only take them from a stockpile? How does population relate to planet production? If I have a planet set for research, should I use tiles for more population or more science buildings, what would be more effective in the long run?
