I see this posted alot and i have to say this but are you guys insane?


i pull at least 1 credit : 3 resources and 1:4 sometimes


and that is on Bloodfin where the reesources are shifting almost daily.

Not sure what you're talking about. I've never seen this complaint of 1:1made, but I don't haunt the forums, so I maybe just miss it.


However, if you consider power costs also, the price goes up. Say you put 3000 creds into a medium harvester on a 60% spot. Then you put 1500 creds into a windmill on a 50% spot. If my memory serves, you'd get enough wind to run that harvester for about the 2 days you put money in for. You'd probably get like 6000-8000 resources in those two days, so that's 1.78 units per credit max. And your windmill has now stopped because you only put 1 day's cash into it


These numbers are very rough, so perhaps you can give us an example using your actual amounts and we can see how you are getting 3-4 units per credit. Do you have a 75% wind spot and a 92% ore spot? I've seen the that high of an ore concentration, but I've never seen wind over 60%.
