Does the world run dry when the server fills up with players?

Resources that feel plentiful with a few players can feel scarce with many, and an average over all hours hides it. This entry shows how to compare what each player earns at different crowd sizes.

Why this works

What matters is the harvest each person gets, not the harvest of the whole server. Comparing that per person across different crowd sizes shows whether the world scales with players or whether they start taking from each other.

When not to use it

Pointless in single-player games or worlds where each person has private resources. There the crowd cannot matter, so spend the effort on how fast one player's resources regrow.
