Model scarcity without frustration

The problem

Excessively rare resources can stall progress without adding strategy.

Practical procedure

Record the minimum resources required for the next action and the fastest reliable earning path.

Worked scenario

If a player needs 40 energy and gains 3 per turn, a 14-turn wait may feel excessive in a short mobile session.

Acceptance check

Playtest whether the waiting period contains useful decisions; shorten dead time rather than adding arbitrary rewards.

Apply the method

Use the related interactive tool to try the concept on an inspectable example. Record the starting assumptions and expected result before changing settings, then compare what the tool actually does. Where the result differs, keep the release marked experimental and document the discrepancy.
