Mining yield: Difference between revisions

There are 25 different types of harvestable gas in New Eden, grouped into three categories. Mykoserocin and cytoserocin gases (found in [[Classifications of Space#Known Space|known space]]) all have a volume of 10 m3, while fullerite gases (found in [[Classifications of Space#Wormhole Space|wormhole space]]) have volumes varying between 1 and 10 m3. Like ore miners, gas harvesting modules gather a certain volume of gas per second (around 20-30 m3/min by default), improving gas harvesting efficiency therefore involves increasing this rate.

=== Residue ===

"Residue" takes away from the overall units of that node being mined, it should really be called "waste" as its essentially being thrown away.

Example 1: A node has 100 units, you mined 10 with 0 residue the node now has 90 units available.

Example 2: A node has 100 units, you mined 10 with 10 residue the node now has 80 units available.

It does not effect your amount per cycle, it just effects the overall amount of units the node has which in turn effect the overall value of that node with the more residue you have. The only testing I have really done with this was in gas sites, with T2 scoops I would end up with between 75%-80% of the total gas from that site because of the residue. There are scoops that dont produce any residue such as the T1 and the Faction scoops. I am sure that the regular ore miners operate under the same rules.
