3.2.2 From Yield to Ore
People are very confused as to the amount of ore they will get when doing a "show info" on their strip or mining laser. It's in fact very simple to find out, you just have to know how. You simply have to divide your yield per cycle by the volume of the ore you're mining, and truncate the result.
| Ore | Volume |
| Veldspar | 0.1 m3 |
| Scordite | 0.15 m3 |
| Pyroxeres | 0.3 m3 |
| Plagioclase | 0.35 m3 |
| Omber | 0.6 m3 |
| Kernite | 1.2 m3 |
| Jaspet | 2 m3 |
| Hemorphite | 3 m3 |
| Hedbergite | 3 m3 |
| Gneiss | 5 m3 |
| Dark Ochre | 8 m3 |
| Spodumain | 16 m3 |
| Crokite | 16 m3 |
| Bistot | 16 m3 |
| Arkonor | 16 m3 |
| Mercoxit | 40 m3 |
Again, here's an example with Omber. Using a hypothetical yield of 1789.67m3/cycle, the amount of Omber you would get per cycle is:
1789.67/0.6 = 2982.78 units 2982 units/cycle
So you would end up with 2982 units of Omber in your cargo after every cycle... simple
enough, isn't it ? And you thought I'd kill your brains !
This ends our third section. Hopefully I haven't melted too many neurons. If so feel free
to get drunk and come back later !
