Does anybody have any idea how these exactly work ?
Take the following :-
If I mine a 50 conc world with 1 mine then what do you think will happen ?
If I mine a 50 conc world with 5 mines then does the above effect change ?
If I have 10 mines on a world with a conc of 9 then will it ever deplete down to a conc of 8 (or 1 mine on a conc of 90 deplete to 89) ?
Does this tell us anything about depletion ?
If so, then does it say anything about what will happen if we increase the mines to 12, or to 20 ?
I'll give out some answers, and my problems with them, later.
(I'm not after somebody just giving out the standard formulas, because obviously they don't apply, or aren't accurate/correct)
