@Z-Key Aerospace I have been looking for causes for bad performance on my KSP install, and came across the above old posting from @John007qwe seemingly having found a simple change to do to x-science to increase performance.

[An Optimizing Guide for Mining Bases]

Thank you for the guide, this helped a lot. I am not sure your numbers are correct for asteroid harvesting. For example, with plenty of power, a level 2 engineer (0.65), a "Drill-o-Matic Mining Excavator" (not the JR) running at 100% thermal efficiency on an asteroid that reports 94.917% Resources, I am getting 0.46 ore/sec. No ISRUs are running or anything like that. Your formula predicts around 3.1 ore/sec in this scenario (5 * .65 * 1 * .95). Also, electric draw of the miner is only about 0.03 charge / second (testing w/ it on and off and comparing draw).
