I am looking for some ppl to it's not really experiment, it's more along the lines of helping me to help themselves.
The initial concept is simple, miners run forwards, miners log findings, miners blow bombs and probes.
Heres a simple flowchart of how basic carpetbombing is done
Blow probe/bomb
Run max twice radius
Rinse repeat
Log findings
Heres the change
Blow probe / bomb
Run at tool radius
If miss increase radius by tool radius, goto blow probe
If hit run at tool radius forwards until you miss, rinse repeat
Every time mark off how many radii you moved in order to get a hit and your time of the 1st hit. Square the amount of radii and compare that number to the time, you should see the pattern immediately.
This technique is expensive, but through. It can only show you approximate timings of your hits, ie on which radii of the spiral they appear, combine that with time, and you know that at x time, i need to move y radii for hits of z deposits.
One warning, DO NOT CHANGE DIRECTION, if you are heading north, continue north, this theory also ties into Iller and Nightbird.
Let me give an example of a timer, this is how it was....
Very simple, I drop a bomb and miss, the minute of my drop is for example 17, I take the square root of that number 4.123 and multiply it by by radius 54 which gives me a distance of +-223meters. For the actual coordinates, assuming I an heading east, I add 223 to my current X coord.
Above is just an example, Mindark has changed the timer significantly.
Each radius ie distance that you can mine in a straight line, corresponds to a set number of minutes.
1 radius from 0 to 1 minutes 1 minute interval
2 radii from 1 to 4 minutes 3 minute interval
3 radii from 4 to 9 minutes 5 minute interval
4 radii from 9 to 16 minutes 7 minute interval
5 radii from 16 to 25 minutes 9 minute interval
6 radii from 25 to 36 minutes 11 minute interval
7 radii from 36 to 49 minutes 13 minute interval
8 radii from 49 to 64 minutes 15 minute interval
For all the math buffs out there, take a look at the lovely (and totally obvious) Fibonacci sequence...
Hofs, now here is something interesting, in the beta they occurred every 15 minutes, if I take a look at a 15 minute interval ..... That would be 8 radii which means that the best way to mine would be to move 8 * my radius and mine back to when I miss. Oops, I really have done it this time, a little bit of chaos for the participants of this fine "social experiment" called Entropia Universe.
