Ore/Silicon Wafers per asteroid yield formula in X2

[azaghal]

Well, I'm trying to figure out the formula used for the quantity/production time per asteroid yield for both silicon and ore mines. So, first of all, if you know the formula, let me know. If you don't, then before you build the next mine, check its yield rate, write it down, and after you build a mine on it write down the quantity produced per cycle as well as cycle time and post that info here. If possible, post in the following format:

Code: Select all

type/asteroid yield/quantity per cycle/cycle time

So, for example (this is trully just a random example, it wasn't taken from the game):

Code: Select all

silicon/64/2/00:01:14
ore/64/5/00:01:00

Mind the lowercase as well as the leading zeros, please. I'm interested only in X2 values (unless X3 uses the same formula). Thanks in advance

P.S.
You might expect a nice OO.org spreadsheet from me in about a week or two with various station-related information

X2 has essentially the same formula as X3. X3 just has the Scale (M or L) added.

Look here.

From the Sector Planner FAQ

Work out the time it takes your mine to produce one product in seconds. I.e. if a mine produces 4 products in 3 minutes, each product takes 45 seconds seconds. Lets call this "prod_time".

If the mine is a silicon mine:
yield = ((25*96) / (prod_time-1)) - 1


If the mine is an ore mine:
yield = ((25*24) / (prod_time-1)) - 1

Therefore re-arranging for silicon....

prod_time = (25*96) / (yield+1) + 1

Remember this is the time to produce 1 unit, but the factory may produce several per cycle.

Exactlly what I was looking for, thanks Btw, what multiplier should I use for X2? 2?

[jlehtone]

Multiplier? If you mean Scale (or Fab_Size, as I have it in that document), that is naturally S (which are in the table therein), ie 1.

But you should have been able to deduce that with the help of LordSuch's comment.

Actually, I did deduce it (after 5-10 minutes of trifling with OO.org Calc) Well, I hope that spreadsheet will be interesting when I publish it
