????What are the mining yields for each size of asteroid???

[Dewar]

I was wondering.

What are the mining yields for each size of asteroid?

Would it even be worth it to haul a class E down to LKO?

By the way, I am in love with squad over 1.0.

This game is nearing perfection with each addition and has caused me to lose interest in every other game on the market.

There is simply no game that rivals this one.

One day and no responses!? Wow, people must really be to busy playing the new release to reply. Haha

BUMP

As far as I am able to recall, I got ~850 ore from a class A asteroid.

[Rfmeijboom]

As far as I know the full mass of the asteroid can mined for Ore, so a 50t asteroid should yield 50t (or about 5000 units) of ore.

But I have not tried it out, so I'm not entirely sure.

[Dewar]

If that's the case,what happens to the mass of the asteroid? if I transfer the ore from the asteroid does the asteroid become lighter? Or does the mass essentially double?

I'll try all of this out tomorrow, I'm playing normal mode and just unlocked the tech.

Only 4k left to unlock of the tech tree! Woot

Well, I can spoil some of it if you want...

Asteroids have a maximum amount of fuel (they deplete). They usually have a fairly high percentage of their mass as fuel (upwards of 90% sometimes), and the mass reduces as they are mined (but no size change).

Awesome, thank you so much.

(Great use of spoilers btw haha)

Question solved!!!

[Dewar]

Broughta class E asteroid to LKO and then discovered it was out of resources? It currently weighs 130 tons or so and I only refuelled once or twice. Quite curious. Perhaps it was of low yield (though I checked th scanner and it read 93%?).
