Disappearance probability

[Xenofón]

I was adding new resources to my game, and saw this thingie, with a number after it:
Disappearance probability
My question is, what is this number mean? Maybe the number of the turns of the resource exists? Do you have any ideas?

Some resources can randomly disapear and reappear someonwhere else (like iron). Others, like rubber and horses, don't move.

Yes, i know this, but in the editor is a number what i.e at the iron is 800. What does that number do?

I think that's "1 in X turns the resource will disappear", but I'm not sure. So 800 would mean a 1/800 chance (or 0.125%) of Iron moving each turn. Don't quote me on that though.

Yes, that's exactly how it works, the number is a probability factor. If you put it at 0 though, the resources won't disappear at all.
