Damn it,

I should have known that I can't trust every word the manual says (in fact I am yet to see a 100% accurate manual). Evil or Very Mad

Anways here is the story: the mineral concentration reduction formula in the manual is wrong, complitely and utterly so!!! You remember 12500/min con=mine yrs for 1pt of min con? Well, this works perfectly if min con is 100 but it realy starts to deviate. The formula that they give in the manual predicts that on average you'll get 5000 kt of each min from a single world. The real figure is closer to 20000+ kt!!! Shocked

I do not yet have the formula for calc minerals from min con, and I get the feeling that you canna derive it due to descrite nature of min con=minerals conversions. The data table I got from testbed is shown below.

It appears that the game engine calculates minerals given from min con rating of a world rather than vice versa.
