Re: Remote mining reduces production?
There is a mod with a prospector ship and a minning base available with tech Deep Space Minning, that makes remote mining profitable. Best idea I saw, so I use that idea, but would like it added to the official release.

Re: Remote mining reduces production?
If your ship only had Mineral miners, do all 3 types go down?
that would be weird

Re: Remote mining reduces production?
No, it only goes down for the resource mined... so if you built a StarBase with 24 Mineral Miners over an asteriod field having 144%/81%/101%, then after six turns, you would have an asteroid field with 0%/81%/101% (probably should either scrap or retrofit at this point  )

Re: Remote mining reduces production?
Argh! That's not how it works, it only goes down 1% per turn, like Raynor mentioned previously.

Re: Remote mining reduces production?
This has been debated at length before; and Drake is right, the decrease is 1% per turn, no matter how many (or how few) miners/farmers/extractors are being used per turn. So that starbase could mine a 144% asteroid field for 144 turns.
Well, OK, slightly less than that, since eventually maintenance will be higher than the resources mined; but with Mineral Miner III's, a Master Computer (slightly less expensive than all those life support and crew quarters for a starbase), and the 50% maint. reduction for bases, that comes to, um, 5000 minerals/125 orgs/725 rads maintenance cost; 24 miners extracting (800*value) each means that you make profit on any asteroid (or planet) with mineral value higher than 26%. So, in reality, that Starbase loaded with mineral miners could mine for (144 - 26) or 118 turns. Obviously, you'd want to scrap it at that time. Which would return a little value also...

My MOD has maintanence set to 15%.
Whoah! Does that mean that if you set your "maintenance reduction" trait to +20%, that your ships will have -5% maintenance?
Ie. Ships make you money by sitting in space!?!
Just repeat build factory bases with lots of expensive components, and soon you'll be making 1M resources from one planet!

Re: Remote mining reduces production?
I just did a quick test on this in 1.30 and zero is as low as maintenance will go. So Racial points spent above would be wasted.
