Info: Time for another 90% tt Returns thread

1,4242 peds ?
 
And the Winner is......drum roll...... NOR ALIEN with a bid of 2500.

This will probably come as a bit of a surprise to most, but for the last 4 months i have had a "x" value of 1900.

So anything above 1900 i have saved or spent on various bits.

I am looking to do some more testing with various depths soon though, so will require different finders and there will probably be lots of different ores. So my new "x" will be approx 6k peds.

I will keep the log going for a while at least.

So Nor Alien i owe you 100 ped, congratz!

And thank you to all that participated.

Woot!! Sweeeeeeet! Thank you! :yay:
 
You should do a test with mining the exact same area but different finders to see what changes in what ores you get.

Done that, different depths gives you different percentages of the same ores

Ah haven't seen that test, so an area doesn't change ore depending on depth? Just how much you get of each.
In that case for a crap area go with crap finders and a good area go uber finder :D

For tracking 10k bombs i treated myself to a Lv13 amp, which i used while out on my 300 bombs drop. Results were not good :laugh:, x4 finds, nothing over 60 ped. But it was fun while the amp lasted :yay:

Just want to let you know, even though we are quiet, we are reading. You've also inspired me to do the same, so running a 90% log arkadia forum right now.

Keep up the good work!

That's excellent, and good luck with your mining and log!

I do understand it is pretty boring to read and not a lot to reply to. But of course that is fine, it is purely meant to be informational.

Although i would not have bet that i was on exactly 90% tt return in a taxed area after over 10k bombs dropped lol.

What is interesting is that Harmony got a compensation hof around the same ish number of drops i did.

That's indeed interesting. Would mean that my hof is not far away. I'm 1.2k PED into the log, however a few k ped dropped earlier and logged privately. I should expect a hof before Sunday then... :scratch2:
 
You should never expect a hof, it will only get you down :)

I always expect and speculate on HOF's after analysing my overall TT returns. I've even made bets with other miners on who will get a HOF first and surprisingly won. This particular behaviour makes the game much more fun and enjoyable. Putting on a tinfoil hat before each speculation run has actually worked out really well for me.


Back to original topic.

Nice to see that 90.5% return Ace, keep it up and maybe try the impossible and go for 95%-100% overall TT returns.

Would be interesting to know how you mine. Straight line, overlapping or not, double drop etc :)
