"Aspha Miners have a +1000% to Mineral Extraction. This means, taking your home world as an example, that 1 turn will produce 11 Terran Metals. This amount varies according to planet count of your colony. A Cluster Level 1 that produces Red Crystals will extract on an average 51 Red Crystals per turn." - ScarRift 2003

"Mineral Mining Formula [...]
(Planets in Colony * ((0.13 * Mining Research) + 1) * Race Mining Mod = Minerals per turn
Example - (25 * ((0.13 * 10) + 1) * 1 = 58 Minerals per turn" - Exule 2008

.....

Now, as it says above Aspha Miners do have a +1000% to Mineral Extraction. Does that make the "Race Mining Mod" to be 11 in the formula?

Why does it increase by 13% per mining level? :S

The whole "51 Red Crystals per turn" for a C1 is a load of popsicles, right? Can we get it fixed?

(5 * ((0.13 * 0) + 1) * 11 = 55 (the above formula by Exule)
(5 * ((0.13 * 0) + 1) * 10 = 50 (if the mod is actually +900%)

Is there a rounding in the formula ? If not that could probably give you some random figures if you`re viewing to only a few decimal places.

the ScarRift guide is a heavily outdated guide from 2003 or 2004, any guides from back then shouldn`t be taken as fact.. As for the formulas `Exule` wrote I rewrote them in 2014 with the help of EphemeralEternity, So that`s technically ours not the ones provided by Stephen.

You`ve highlighted another weird issue regarding mineral mining that i guess i`m going to have to look into a bit, unless EE has any ideas.. the values i put up were technically right but i noticed a handful of odd things in testing just now that clearly throws them off specifically for aminers. (Like the fact that there`s apparently minerals coming out of thin air after turn use, but not from turns being used..)

Odds are you`ve highlighted several bugs i was otherwise unaware of until now, and i would like to ask you keep this thread open so i can report back in here on it for everyone who might be curious about it as well. (If we can even figure out what`s going on there)

Also, it says "average" in the ScarRift guide yet Exule`s only states a per turn amount and says nothing of it varying. What really happens?
