Not exactly solo player, but more or less doing 2 man clan at the moment. Playing since Founders packs were sold, though took a break of about a year. I have roughly 1.3+ million spare Plastids that I'm not going through any time soon. I think it's due to how many planets drop it, so you naturally ended up with a lot of Plastids while grinding for entirely different things. Also a lot of events and end game content was previously on those planets. Crafting/research prices tended to be on the lower end for Plastids, which probably contributed to the overabundance players like me experienced.

With that said, this is definitely not a general rule. For example, when Hema research hit me - I had barely 2.5k Mutagen Samples, despite heavily farming Derelict some time ago (when it still dropped Prime components). But other players claimed to have 5k or even 10k, which I can believe, in all fairness. Some players didn't farm as much certain locations and thus ended up with less resources, despite playing for a long time.
