: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.

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. If the player has ambitions to make lots of kegs (which they should), then wasting the Oak Resin is not a good idea, and a single sentence word of caution feels helpful to me.

: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).
