g Skarn mining and usability

a day ago

Hei there!

After playing a bit on another planet I noticed that my factories in Crucible were not working; then I saw that the skarn patches were depleted, thus stopping all furnaces and machinery.

As I my factory has high demand and drilling non stop, would you consider adding more productivity or less depletion for the patches? Seems strange that with Million of this ore is finishing so quickly. I am using big drill and modules for productivity and speed (legendary) and I have often to move all miners to a new patch.

Or Would be possible to tweak in any way?

I'll look into it; that does sound a bit excessive. Just curious, what's your approximate skarn/minute consumption, and high-pressure science/minute production? And map settings for Crucible resources?

It does feel like skarn deposits are wide but shallow. Even with a couple of hundred level of mining prod, edges were depleting relatively fast on my previous run. I think one of the main culprits is emery production, you do need quite a lot of it and it needs 6 skarn for 1 emery.

i ll have to check, but with all stopped I think data would be not correct. Let me come back to you with some info

I made some adjustments that should improve this in v1.1.14. Skarn richness has a higher baseline and scales a bit more with distance.

Thank you for fixing so quickly. I will test it out soon. Most of my base exploded and I need to restart the production from scratch XD

Btw i checked and i was around 17SPM, not sure the rest of the production
