Probably an easy one, but I cannot for the life of me find any info in the manual or the web about what the % next to the resources in the planet interface represents.



Osito -> RE: Resource info (6/3/2013 1:44:31 PM)

As I understand it, it gives an indication of the rate at which the resource will be mined. Thus, I would expect something with a 50% figure to be mined at half the rate as something with a 100% figure.

It would be good to have someone confirm that.

That is indeed my understanding. Discovering a new resource or exhausting an existing resource is pure random. The percentage is a modifier to extraction rates.



Bingeling -> RE: Resource info (6/3/2013 1:52:18 PM)

Double post

Ah cool, thank you.



Constantine XI -> RE: Resource info (6/4/2013 2:52:06 PM)

I have wondered about this as well. I always assumed it was some measure of quality / quantity, and the extraction rate seems like a reasonable explanation. Really weird that there is no obvious explanation in the Help System.

Can anyone confirm this?

Related, how do you guys look at this from a strategy perspective? Is there a point at which you feel a resource is not worthwhile to exploit with a mine? I often run into situations where the only source of a needed resource is fairly low, so I don't feel like I can ignore it even with a low percentage.



Osito -> RE: Resource info (6/4/2013 2:57:31 PM)

Speaking for myself, I would certainly go for a low quality resource if I needed it, especially if I have no other sources.



turtlefang -> RE: Resource info (6/9/2013 3:27:52 PM)

The percentages stated show how many units per 100 mined that you recieve in resources.

Example 76% Helium

So for every 100 units your extractors mine on the planet, you recieve 76 units in Helium.

Extractors mine at a set rate, so technically it doesn't impact the mining rate but the capture rate of the resources. In practice, it does impact the extraction rate of resources per mining cycle.



invaderzim -> RE: Resource info (6/9/2013 8:04:12 PM)

What happens if there are three resources on a planet? If your extractor is capable of mining 100 units of one resource in a month, will additional resources slow it down?

For instance if there is a planet with 100% steel on it, you would expect to get 100 steel at the end of that month. But if there is 100% steel and 100% gold, would you get 100 of each resource or 50 steel and 50 gold?



feelotraveller -> RE: Resource info (6/10/2013 3:12:10 AM)

100 of each.
