            Interesting points, but I'd also argue that regardless of what we do, any restart is eventually(and quickly in fact) going to result in us swimming in materials again. With the number of people we have it'll only really be a week or so of "difficult" times before we reach a point where we have everything we could want.
            
            I mean look at my place as an example. I joined 2 months ago and have done zero duping and outside of some cobble/sand/glass mined all my own materials. I've also worked on my place mostly solo save for a bit of help here and there on some projects. As it stands now I've got a sprawling complex and a huge amount of personal supplies stored away in various places.
            
            Yes once damage and the durability bug is fixed, it would take me longer to get to the point I'm at, figure double the time at absolute most due to having to use iron/stone picks most of the time. But, that's 4 months to critical mass solo. With 100+ of us working together, in a week we'll be swimming in resources regardless of where we are or where we start.
