Aye just want to point out that I don’t think this is average/normal. Great stuff but I mine too many planets and places to have fully equipped bases everywhere over t5, or even half of them. I certainly wouldn’t want to feel limited to one hot spot for each item and hope it’s not mined out every time.
I just can’t imagine handling real bulk the way this is shaping up. This looks great for iron hammer miners, lower/mid level players maybe. People that are scraping by or tightly limit their activities to their personal needs.
I’m not saying that’s bad, necessarily. It just doesn’t look very great for people that are making high turnover and have been eager to turn some of that waste into coin. I’m open minded and of course I’ll have (at least) one but it looks like anyone waiting eagerly to make use of all that AoE waste still has a bit of a puzzle here.
It all depends on the prices that hit live. But in a whole coin economy something that earns less than a thousandth of a coin is still not worth any trouble.
If coin output balanced to account for AoE mass waste but machine capacity and the trouble of using it make it useful mostly to low volume players, it will be a sour note across the board.
