What metals are you guys using to get to ber13 or higher? Specifially on Heavy Mineral Harvesters.

Does ore really matter that much or is mainly your steel and other components, seeing how ore in general sucks most of the time.

I'm using Duralloy Steel. The UT, HR, and SR average out to about 950. This gives a 95% mining unit when fully experimented upon. Then use the mining unit in the hvy schematic and I use the same steel there. Plus some ore I have where the weighted average is 800+ if the schematic calls for it in the final combine. I'll hit BER 13 at 80% experimentation. Leaving two points to put into storage experimentation.

Just find some good steel and mining it like crazy. To figure out the weighted average use the following formula. UT+UT+HR+SR divided by 4. UT is 50% while the other two are 25% each. Which is why you count UT twice.
