I am looking at the 2 mining stations for Caslon. One of them is a simple 60% 1 resource only calculation:
.6 X 57 = 34.2 effective mining rate (assuming this is how it is calculated).
The second mining station presents a complex mining situation having 3 different resources all at different riches.
One method would be to divide the mining potential by the number of available resources and apply the richness factor to each share:
57 / 3 = 19
Caslon @ 75% results at 19 X .75 = 14.25 ..... add the other simple Caslon station resulting rate of 34.2 ( 14.25 + 34.2 = ) yields 48.45. But the report on Caslon production shows 59.85.
So lets try another method of dividing up mining rates for multiple resources:
Add the richness factors to a sum of richness and apply a weighted mining capacity to the appropriate resources. The idea here is spend mining potential on the proportionate richness.
Here goes: Miredean 1 has 75% + 9% + 6% riches for a total of 90%. Since Caslon is at 75% we will apply .75 of 90% toward of the mining rate: So .75 X .9 X 57 = 38.475 ... add this to the 34.2 from the other simple mining effective rate and it totals 72.675; this is also not the way DW2 is dividing up the mining rate.
See the pic below for references. Anyone have any ideas as to how the mining rates ae calculated for multiple resources?
