This trope is incredibly common in video games because it wouldn't be a game if it didn't require something of you.

The first season of Battlestar Galactica spent a lot of time in the search for water.
In fact, space in general is full of finite resources. When did the Enterprise ever not need new dilithium crystals? Cowboy Bebop was framed by the constant search for enough reward money to buy both fuel and food. Good luck, space cowboy.
