Star Wars Galaxies: Resource turnover

Yesterday, on the Official Dev's Board, Holocron wrote this helpful post:

I've seen a lot of confusion on this issue, so I thought I'd post a little something on how and why resources turn over so that everyone knows how this works.

Resources are not infinite. They do run out, and for any given resource, it takes between 5 and 8 days or so. Resources come classified into types, as you know, and when a resource expires, we generate a fresh resource of that type. After a resource runs out, there might be a period of scarcity before a new resource of that type is discovered.

Thank you Holocron!!
