Did my crazy use of bolds help in any way?[ 8 votes ]

ZZZy, that helps. I've been wondering why 16, I guess its since you can build the more numerous amount, and its cheaper than efficiency.

However

I figured that on a planet you have lets say a mineral concentration of 60%. To go from 60%->56% takes (in order) 208.3My, 211.9My, 215.5My, 219.3My, 223.2My where My are Mining years. Now if you had mines of 10/X/16, and 16/X/10 and five hundred thousand people with all the mines built, you'd support 800 and 500 mines respectively. If mining is all done based on the beginning percent of every turn (which it may or may not be but that doesn't really change the general idea) you'd get 480Kt of minerals from both settings. However, the next year the percentages would be 57% and 58% respectively. So next turn the efficient mines would produce 464Kt, while the more numerous mines would produce 456Kt.

Also

So I figured if a race grows more slowly, they might be able to afford slower ramp up(to make back points) for the more efficient mines(that become better).
