It is not recommended to use {{infoicon\|Gold}} as a currency in [[Trade\|trading contracts]], because of it's finite nature.
			*{{infoicon\|Quartz}}. World map nodes are finite. As it is used in production of {{infoicon\|Electronics II}}, it is a key late game resource. I hope that I've either not found it's source yet, or there is a [[Trade\|contract]] present. Opting out of usage of that is going to lead to absence of {{infoicon\|Household Appliances}}, {{infoicon\|Consumer Electronics}}, {{infoicon\|Maintenance II}}, {{infoicon\|Maintenance III}}.
