If I understand this correct, the number of useful basic extractors for races without mining bonus is always 3.333.., anything above that is a waste of resources, space, etc. Each basic extractor mines at a rate of 30 resources per week, where the cap is 100. Both numbers are multiplied by the % of the resource deposit, so at a 50% deposit a basic extractor mines 15 resources per week and the limit is 50 units. Gas production is 4x higher. The race specific mining bonus increases the extraction rate, but not the maximum, so one basic extractor owned by Riktoth would produce 42 resources per week, given a 100% deposit. This means only 2.38 basic extractors instead of 3.333.. are needed to reach the weekly cap of 100, again given a 100% deposit. So in the end all this bonus does is decrease the number of extractors needed, not increase the actual output of mining stations. See matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=2966128
