Even on a 1% spot, paying 1.5 cpu for power, the cost per resource per harvestor is still less than 1 cpu.

You sir, are ignorant.

Heavy Harvester (BER 13) on 1% Concentration

Yield Per Day = BER * Percent * 60 min * 24 hours = 13 * 0.1 * 60 * 24 = 187 units per day

Cost Per Day = 2160 Maint + 1.5 * 1800 power = 2160 + 2700 = 4860

Cost to Mine = 4860 / 187 = 26 cpu

Lesson learned - you want to talk out the orifice you sit on, at least do the math first.

Before you start calling for the guys (or girls) blood...please add the "fat-finger" variable into the equation. I think it was supposed to be 10%, not 1%. This in itself does not make it profitable, but factor in the -20% discount that most mass-miners have (at least the ones I know) from Merchant and it suddenly becomes profitable.

Er...yes actually. Very sorry that that I was a bit tired when I wrote this, but at least somebody took the time to think about what I was saying rather than immediatly jump to technical faults. Hey, if we were all perfect there wouldn't be compilers

So I think that we can agree that 1) on a 10% spot with a 20% maintnence discount you will end up in the green, 2) I probably am ignorant, and 3) When you talk out of the orifice you sit on....wait...technically you sit on chairs.....if you sit on an opening, you fall in.

Next time I'll be sure to save the napkins I use to figure out game math so I can reference them while writing theoretical arguments to virtual problems. Never thought i'd be math flamed....
