As the title says, I'm looking for a formula to compress ore efficiently to move minerals.

Firstly, I know there are tools available, I use multiple. So I'm not looking for those. Without getting into specifics, they do not do what I need them too.

I am looking to find the formula many of those tools use to get their results. The hope is that I can manipulate them a bit to shift results where I need them.

I have searched high and low for the method, even digging through the sites themselves and have found nothing.

So, does anyone know or have a formula or a link to one that explains it?

The one I wrote uses Linear programming. It's pretty much the Diet problem, just with different terminology.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stigler_diet

So, instead of calories, you have tritanium
instead of protein, you have pyerite

and you have it trying to minimize the volume.

So you have compressed veldspar as one option (like flour), compressed scordite as another (like Milk), and so on.

https://github.com/fuzzysteve/compression is the code behind mine, but it requires the LP_solve library to work.

Woo! CSM XI!
