Iron is fully renewable because oozers drop scrap metal, but I doubt anyone could be bothered farming oozers for iron when they could just start a new world and grab up all the iron there instead.

This game, like Terraria, is really not designed with long-term high-population persistent servers in mind. Since players can just go harvest nonrenewable resources from a new world, that is what you can expect them to do once things begin to dry up in their old world.

So once Yagluth is defeated, you cant farm them anymore, which really kills the idea of farming it in the first place. That still doesnt answer if totems respawn.

This isnt even long term, me and 4 others have had a server running for 2 weeks and we already went through 1000+ iron between building and equips. 30+ crypts raided.

Keep in mind the game still has 3 unfinished biomes on top of that for us to deal with later. Does it really sound like its going to last?

I can see this sounding unreasonable if you play solo but a server full of thirsty players snaps up metal faster than the average magnet. We arent even a full crew of 10

Its like real life, resources are finite. We have become so used to always want more that we now expect it in everything. This is a video game where each world has a start and an end, defeat all bosses the game is over. How you get there and how you want to spend the resources on the road to Valhalla is up to you, you want to waste all the iron in the world on metal beams to make pretty structures, sure knock yourself out. Does that mean the resources should be infinite? Ofcourse not, you could have made armor and weapons with them but you built houses instead.

I'm looking for a solution, not for someone to decide if this is a worthy problem or not. And before you pass judgement on others know what you're talking about - only one structure has wood iron beams. If you dont want to discuss it why post here?

You arent looking for a solution, you are looking for a problem and then deny anyone to disagree to your point of view. Thats not a discussion

The obvious solution is to raid other seeds for non-renewable resources.

(Surting Cores are renewable, they drop from the little fire mobs that can appear near flame vents in the swamp.)

Dunno what to tell you. They do.

There's no item ID for either oozer or ghost trophies, so I assume they don't exist.
