Dunno what to tell you. They do.

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

I didn't say the nonrenewable resources in a given world would be plenty for 10 people playing independently. I don't think they would. But as long as players can freely transfer their characters between worlds it arguably doesn't matter much, because they'll go plunder a different world for resources if scarcity becomes an issue regardless.
