Ok I did the lame thing and played this for too long. by the time I quit my city expanse had spread to the point where only one patch of resources was available it meant my souls couldn't farm at all. I'm aware this is incomplete, i'm just saying the sugestion about upgraded buildings was a good idea. Maybe have some way to dedicate people to farm certain resources. have certain buildings that increase the respawn rate of specific resources and have some ladies too. I have to deal with enough sausage fests in real life.
