It might help you to read [[Help:Editing]], especially the part about discussing large-scale changes before implementing them. I hope this helps. Thank you, [[User:Margotbean|margotbean]] ([[User talk:Margotbean|talk]]) 20:04, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

:Hi [[User:Margotbean|margotbean]]. I'm surprised to hear "I'm not sure what word you were going for, either, I'm afraid, but "contested" doesn't make sense."
:Is this a dialectic thing? I speak American English. I also see this in academic journal publications and I regularly use it in my technical writing.
:See https://www.dictionary.com/browse/contested involving more than one candidate: Congressional redistricting and acontested Senate seat led to a series of competitive Michigan primaries on Tuesday.
:https://www.army.mil/article/254550/amcom_101_for_missiles_focuses_on_sustainment_implications_readiness_reporting "There may be '''contested''' supply lines"
:More examples: Delays in processing can occur if the CPU is '''contested'''.
:etc. Try doing a google search for "contested resources" or "contested supply" for more similar examples of this usage. When a resource is "contested", it means it is needed for multiple purposes.
:Do you still think "Oak Resin is a contested resource if the player is expanding their supply of Kegs" is unreasonable? I was going for "precise" and "terse". A longer form would be "Keep in mind Oak Resin is an ingredient used for Kegs as well", but the latter feels less precise / wiki quality to me. I am pretty confident this is both grammatically correct and widely understood, but I guess maybe some people haven't heard this grammar before. It is a very widespread grammar on anything related to computer resources, which may be biasing my perspective on common English.
:I am aware that massive amounts of Oak Resin can eventually be achieved, but during Year 1 (when many people are finishing the game anyway), it is tough to justify not putting all of the Oak Resin into Kegs. In Fall of Year 1 I generally buy hundreds of Deluxe Speed Gro from Sandy as this is the fastest path to being able to purchase everything in year 1. There isn't enough time or Oak Seeds to expand the trees quickly enough (and I start expanding my oak trees on the first day).
