And needlessly passive aggressive posts drive me nuts. Production will rise to meet supply, but that does not mean it will do so smoothly or easily. Perhaps accessible olivine is limited. Perhaps current extraction methods would be too expensive at scale. We just don't know.

Currently the practice is to just pile it up, as it's worthless. So you don't even need to mine it (at least until demand scales way up) - just go to nearest mine and pick it up.

Only thing is, once a significant number of people started doing that, it generally stopped being free — people started charging money for it.
