There was some questions floating around about mining infra lvls affecting ore extraction from planets... so i tested it
Mining infra lvls does affect ore extraction.
a miner with 50 lvls in mining extracted 6k ore from a balance
while a miner with 200 lvls in mining extracted 21k ore from a balance |

99+ day(s) ago | I think I remember from a loooong time ago (2003) when I last played a miner that I did notice a slight increase in ore extraction rates when my mining lvls went up. So noticed because I had no need to cluster icy planets for strip mining.. And I trust EE so yes. Mining lvls affect ore extraction rates. |

99+ day(s) ago | its not that no one new that, its just a long time ago an ex gc player (now uc guide) was fed some bad info. so after some verbal martial arts we asked EE to test it |

99+ day(s) ago | *blinks* Wait...what? People forgot that this happened? o.O Wow, I guess I`ve been here even longer than I thought if that information went out of circulation. |

99+ day(s) ago | yeah each balance had 1k mining infra allocated on it.... |
WolfHaley
99+ day(s) ago | The actual formula is
[(research lvl / 10) + 1] * (amount of mining infrastructure) * (planetary modifier) = amount of ore you will mine per turn |
WolfHaley
99+ day(s) ago | you could get it all in 1 turn if u have 1000 mining infra on the planet
or in 10 turns with 100 infra |
WhatIsTheMatrix
99+ day(s) ago | so youre saiyan that if i was a miner and had 50 lvls of mining infra, and i had a balanced planet with 6k ore, i could get all of it in one single turn with one mining building on it? |
Apollo
99+ day(s) ago | thats why i have 7 housing and 20 mining, its seems the right amount.
when i make a new c1, by the time i explore 5 new planets to make another c1 (1 turn 1 planet) the 1st c1 has been emptied unless its 6k or more ore |
WolfHaley
99+ day(s) ago | planet mods also increase/decrease the speed
as in a c.2 will mine +20% faster. it`s also the reason u.rich (-50%) takes forever for most people.
but race modifier doesn`t play into ore mining! which is why guardians can be equally good strip miners as a.miner or terran. |
EphemeralEternity
99+ day(s) ago | it still not worth investing turns into mining unless you plan to strip mine the rest of your empires life. |

99+ day(s) ago | Good to Know considering I strip mine quite a bit... |
