What is the usual density ( percentage ) of a good ore field ?
I hopped from planet to planet and didn't find anything better than 65.
Is there a lower density cap for the ore ressources ?
Thanks.

Finding an ore concentration any higher than 70% has proved to be very difficult. I don't know if there is a cap involved, but it sure does seem to be that way. I mostly settle for around 60%.

Concentrations were nerfed several months back. They used to be the same as any other mineral. Nowadays, I am happy to find 45% or so. I've found 2 70% spots in the last 8 or so months.

agree, i usually just do around 60%. the few 70s ive seen are on places you cant really build on.

All I know is I couldfind a 90% or so just about every other week back when the game first launched.

Ore concentrations have always been low. In over 12 months of playing I've seen them at 70% or above less than 10 times. I typically settle for anything over 55%.

Its random. I have found 77% before, but generally count myself lucky to get over 55%.

Most often the field density is very low, but it's a large field (allowing to fit more harvesters on a consistant field)... I've been on fields that are 100's of meters wide... whereas some other resource types peak higher, but have a steep drop off to where you can only fit a handful of harvesters on the sweet spot.
It's pretty much been like that for awhile, consider yourself lucky if you score 50 or 60% and above, it's rare.

yeah i remember that.. once on wanderhome finding a 95% spot near mos espa of some uber zins carb ore..
ahh the good ol' days.
Now i'll be lucky to get over 65%
