Is there any way to calculate mineral generation on a planet WITHOUT using turns?

Full disclosure: I have gotten myself into a fairly deep negative income situation, and I need to know how many mins/turn my biggest cluster (a 21,998 land C2) will give me. My Mining Research is only at 1. (I am a comm terran)

Naturally, burning a turn puts me deeper in debt.

Any help is appreciated.

I was pointing out why mineral generation is useless for a terran, not what his actual income was, Slavyzz. *sigh*

he said it was 21k land, so it prolly makes around 100k per turn with no infra.

If you`re deep enough in debt as a commerce terran that your commercial income won`t get you out of debt, you won`t get out of debt by making minerals unless your planets are extraordinarily bad. :P You make 1.1 minerals per planet. So 27.5 minerals per planet. 27,500 at max mineral price. 50 land of commerce at 0 infra makes 250 credits. Minimum c2 size. Zero infra min c2 makes 25,000 for a terran... the land at which commerce is better than minerals is 5000. If your c2 is less than 5000 land, why did you have it? ^^; The average land of a randomly explored c2 is around that range, meaning you kept everything you found, 2 land gases and all. ^^;

Summation: Don`t count on your mineral production. It`s useless. :P

Do you have any arties?

If not, you can ask friends to use a few cash-making artifacts on you and help you get out. 63 million is serious, but not impossible to get out of. Heck, even 100 billion debt isn`t impossible if you have a LOT of major dineros (-3% cash works to reduce debt too) and enough minerals to get you out when you`re done using them.

Don`t use anymore turns, put all your stocks on the market including Food and Ore, then wait it out.

Lynnel, I am buried at -63M and by my calculations, will have barely enough mins to sell to get out of this ONLY if I can catch the market when it is up.

Since it is such a close run thing, I would prefer not to even burn 1 more turn, since that puts me nearly another 1M more in debt.

How much debt are you in Beowulf?

Question on this:
Mineral calculation (GC)
Colony Size (No of planets in Colony) + ( Colony Size x Mining Research Lvl / 10 x Planet

mining level / 100 x Racial Modifier)

What is "Planet Mining Level"? I have a C2, so the planet mining bonus is 20%. Do I multiply by 1.2?

I appreciate your help.
