I've read a number of posts with people stating they have 20, 30, 40+ mines going. How is the achieved? Through multiple characters?
Also, I posted this in the trade forum, but on Bria, what range cpu would Duralloy Steel go for? 5-10 cpu? 10-15? 15-20? 20+? Thanks!

Yes, the only way to have more than 10 extractors running is to have multiple characters or to get other people to let you use their lots.
As for how much the steel would go for, your first instinct to post in the trade forum was correct. Every server's economy is totally different, therefore it is hard for us here on the artisan forum to know exactly what a specific type of resource is worth on a specific server. However, on most servers you can expect to get at least 2-3 credits per unit on steel.
Good luck!

Thanks for the info. For those extra characters, do you I need to do anything to advance them in skills or can they just be used as drones (for now)?

Another way is through cross server lot trades. Even with just one account, you can have one character on each server. Many people advertise on different server trade forums for lot trades. You create a character on another server, meet with the person to do the trade, place the harvestors,houses, whatever, put them on admin and they handle maint and power and can use the harvs, then they do the same for you. The risk of course is if they quit the game, your harvestors, houses, factories, whatever have a chance of going POOF and all your resources in the harv, all the power and maint, all the stuff stored in the house, all the stuff you just made in a factory run are gone, and the devs cant or wont do anything about it because it is not your stuff ...

If you get extra characters, you'll find a use for their SP, believe me ... first off is Merchant, next is making one character more combat-oriented (or at least able to place harvesters in hostile territory), and from there, who knows?

They also won't do anything about it because cross server lot trades are technically against the rules.

cross server lot trade = exploit.
robbing the server of jobs from people who are willing to work. its ridiculous.
