i've recently been trying to figure out what m3 of mercoxit i can pull in with my skiff, however my numbers don't seem to match up.

if we take the 250 base yield, t1 crystals, and 2x mlu IIs, no implants, and perfect skills except exhumer at 4 instead of 5 we get...

250*1.25*1.25*1.15*1.1881 ~ 533.72, which is what shows up in-game without a crystal.

all well and good, now with a t1 crystal the yield modifier is 1.25. with exhumer 4 that value is 1.25*(0.6*4) = 3, and hence the yield should be ~1600 m3.

however, when i load the mining crystal i get 4.25 yield modifier (from the in-game show info thingy). giving me some where around 2270m3. now, i'm not complaining about getting a higher yield than expected, however it'd be nice to know where my maths is going wrong.

obviously the maths is going wrong when i add in the effect of the t1 mercoxit crystal as i can get the yield correct when i don't have a crystal in the miner, i'm just not sure what is causing this bigger than expected bonus.

T2 Crystal is 1.375 bonus. T1 is a 1.25.

Also, you need to add 1 to the calculation (.6 * 4) for the exhumer bonus because you have a 100% bonus automatically.

This tripped me up when making the mining tab in IPH. I have done all the maths there if you want to check it out.
