You can also see that it was pretty important for the economy in dead space 2. If earth is still holding even more people than these days, along with multiple massive stations with others constantly being built, then planet cracking would be pretty important. 500 years into the future? So earth would be pretty stripped for reasources by then and the moon cracks have happened long ago. Angie's 7 was canonically rich in these kind of rare, in demand materials and thus was a massive gold mine for rare materials that would be needed.Īlso, I'm pretty sure dead space is like. Not every planet has all minerals and metals, earths surprisingly versatile in that aspect. Like say copper or gold, those things are probably in large supply, while other, rarer minerals are constantly being scanned for. I'd say that they have a massive abundance of some materials, and a huge low in others. I know I'm thinking too hard about this but it always bothered me. Humanity would have to be a Galaxy spanning empire with hundreds if not thousands of colonies each with massive populations to need yeilds that the planet cracking fleet has been pumping out since the Ishimura was constructed.

We've only been using the crust of our world. We have meet all our needs by essentially scratching the surface of our plant. In all of our history on Earth, all the advancements and construction humanity has created has been filled by Earth's resources alone. How in the name of God does humanity need more than a single planet to meet all of it's resource needs for the next few centuries? In the Dead Space lore many planets have been shattered and mined.y question is this. I can imagine such demand would make mining on a scale we've never seen on Earth necessary. Obviously they will need resources to make these advancements and to build the colonies. I don't think a hard number is ever stated but let's be generous and say humanity is spread out on 20 world's with tens of millions one each colony. I know Earthgov has several colonies spread out through the Galaxy. However, one thing never made any sense to me and that was the economics of planet cracking. Let me start by saying Dead Space is my favorite game series of all time.

Dead space story makes no sense
