I am a bit confused about some results I've been getting lately. I found a particular spot I like to mine in that was returning relatively predictable results, and had been doing fairly well there with an F-105. After getting a modest HOF there, I bought a TK220, which is in my skill range so I thought the learning bonus would be nice, and it has a much greater depth than the F-105.
Immediately after switching to the TK220, my returns went to hell. Where I was typically in the 80-90% TT range, I was now getting 50-60% TT, but still hitting the same ores/em. I would have expected the TK220 to give me even better results as I thought with the greater depth I would have better opportunity for finds.
On a whim, I did runs yesterday and today with the F-105 again, and both were positive return.
What does this mean? Does the skill bonus and greater depth have a trade-off of lower hit rates? Does the depth not work the way I think it does? Does this mean you not only have to find the right locations for ores, but also what type of finder works in that location?
