Dev blog: Moon mining revamped - There’s Ore in Them Thar Moons

[Soldarius]

If you are paying rl cash to mine – an activity that is supposed to make you isk – you’re are doing it so wrong that you clearly have no clue how to play this game.

No, I don’t mine. Unless the corp is mining ice for fuel, then it is a social thing.

I pay my sub to train into new and interesting ship classes. The mining sim is too much time to justify the isk, imo.

But I am still interested in how mining will affect the rest of the game. That’s all.

Sorry if i missed the information, but is there any difference between the small and large drilling platform? i mean, other than hp. Will the size of moon chunk be different? will the number of reactions will be different?..

thks for your help

For purely running moon extractions, both types of structure use the same service module to extract the same chunks, producing the same amounts of material. The main differences are that the L has higher fitting capacity (allowing more defensive modules, for example, or extra services) and that Rorquals can dock at the L but not the M. Oh, and there are some differences in vulnerability hours too.

thks very much

Not sure if this has been asked yet, but can we get a timer on the Structure Browser window that shows when the pull cycle for the refineries will finish? Much like the fuel expires column, would just list how long until your cycle is up and the rock is ready.

It’s on a serarate tab.

Using the values from sisi atm and 85% refine a unbonused 2 mlu hulk mines moon ore at about 16M-210M per hour depending on the ore type (128-1700 isk per m3). Double for jackpot ore spawn.
