On the topic of resources, I have a question for all of you as well:

Just how much or many resources does each Chapter or Area actually have? How much can the Factory produce, how long can the Beast Pens be kept fed? How much food is there left in the kitchens? How much raw material does the Forge have? How many Mimics and Dopplers can Enderall spawn? 

It's important to note that while this is an Overlord story, our characters and levels are not on par with Nazerick. Bandersnatchers, as a guild, is nowhere near as rich or powerful as Ainz Ooal Gown was - as such, it's quite reasonable to assume that the resources our cast has available to them is either significantly less, or of considerably lower quality overall.

While it's of course fun being able to just spit things out and pull stuff outta the butt - gods know Maruyama does it all the time - I think it's important to look at things with moderation some times.

Take for example Nazerick, in order to obtain materials to create simple, basic magic scrolls, Demiurge had to go through a lot of troulbe and effort to secure a steady source for that. Take for example Aura and the construction of the Dummy Nazerick, that took sveral days, if not weeks, to be completed. Yet in less than a week, we have brand new inventions, four advanced frontier outposts and supply-routes . I'm not saying we shouldn't have these things, but I am saying that we should all take time tot think about just what our respective characters' have available to them in terms of resources and materials, and what seems reasonable and appropriate. Wanting to move forward and get things done is fine, it's great, but doing so too fast kind of wonks up the pacing of the story and the immersion. Well, at least for me.

So, don't take this the wrong way - I'm not telling people to stop what they're doing or retcon stuff out of existence. I'm just asking: How much resources do each of us have to use and expend? How much can our Chapters, Areas or individual characters actually produce or influence the world around them?

This is something I ask simply to satisfy my own curioisty, so if you don't feel like bothering to answer, that's completely fine.
