Regenerating Resource Sources #58

Suggested by Chosker: Resource deposits that can regenerate but have an upper limit.

Suggested by SinineSiil: More complex variant of this would be Tiberium trees in C&C series. They regenerate resources in a circular area around them.

Hey, would this approach be acceptable?:

Create RegenerationFactor variable
On Tick check if current resources less than max and regenerationFactor greater than 0
If so, reuse logic from ConstructionSiteComponent to increase current resources (clamp max)
Broadcast OnResourcesChanged

For regenerating resources in circular area, we could create a new task (this could also contain tree growing (from small to large with increasing resource size etc).

What do you think?

Yeah, sounds about right :)
