Simple. The mineral conc (displayed) is in one byte and the (not displayed) decimal part is in other byte. Some Jeff-breed algorithm merges them, mines from them and stores back again. Wink The decimal parts are present in m file for the planets where some mining has occured, for rest there is just the displayed conc.


Are you positive about the "magic number" being a "decimal part"? I'd have bet the Jeffs would use integer logic for this. Sherlock

I reckon nobody has a clue how that "Jeff-breed" algorithm works? Shocked



So many Stars, so few Missiles!

In space no one can hear you scheme! Deal
