Does anyone know or has anyone been able to work out the affect of multiple players on the resources of single planets? Do resources run down more quickly with multiple players or are they "instanced" in some way? What kind of falloff curve do you get as you add players? If you have 6 players tapped into a single hotspot will it deplete 6 times faster?

Are there any numbers on this?

PI lacks in numbers because there is no actual value shown on a specific pocket of ressource.

What I can tell you for sure, the more players use the same planet, the faster it will deplete.

I'm kind of new to PI, does a planets resources ever respawn so to say? Like during down time or something?

Yes. It's a kind-of plasma algorithm (not to be confused with plasma planet). The distribution of hot spots evolves over time, but on average I expect the same amount to be there on the planet as a whole. Here's what a simple plasma algorithm looks like.
