Hi all,
The Mineral Generation formula has been bugging me recently, so I ran some tests and have found the correct formula. The planet mining modifier DOES make a difference (for example, a U.Fertile as A Miner will produce 22 minerals per turn, regardless of mining research level - this is what caught my attention).
The correct formula should be:
2 * Planet Count * Race Mining Modifier * ((Mining research level * Planet Mining Mod / 10) + 1)
For example, an A Miner, with level 6 Mining Research and a C2 would have the following
Planet Count for C2 = 25
Mining Research = 6
C2 Mining Modifier = 1.2 (additional 20%)
A Miner Modifier = 11 (additional 1000%)
2 * 25 * 11 * ((6 * 1.2 / 10) + 1) = 946 minerals per turn
An A Miner, with level 100 Mining Research and a U.Fertile would have the following
Planet Count for U.Fertile = 1
Mining Research = 100
U.Fertile Mining Modifier = 0 (classed as N/A, so minus 100%)
A Miner Modifier = 11 (additional 1000%)
2 * 1 * 11 * ((100 * 0 / 10) + 1) = 22 minerals per turn
Feel free to PM me, but I have checked this for each race for multiple planets up to mining research level 15
