if you have an end screen for the demo (thanks for playing type stuff), I don't think you have to cap the resources - just let the player know they've seen all the demo has to offer but can continue if they wish
(especially if you can still test more crafting stuff that way without having to retreat the beginning)
if the shippy avatar is an indication of placeholder quality, then you don't have to worry about that - just communicate that in the startup message as well

@YinYinFalcon Hmm. That makes sense. At least tell them when the demo is basically done letting them progress, though let them keep playing if they want to. Yeah, the portraits are all either cropped concept art or royalty free clipart placeholders. The "crashed ship" is also made by me, and is the saddest. >_<
