Hi All,
For those who don't know me, my main profession is mining. Thanks to the recent changes surrounding nanocubes, miners can now count on all of their old "TT-fodder" resources as being sellable at 100.8 - 101%, which is great for us.
However, I thought it would be nice to try to find an activity I could do at the crafting terminal to make a little extra when I'm busy playing DOTA or asleep.
My thinking was that I could recycle all of my "TT-fodder" resources into nanocubes and cycle them through the EP1 blueprint overnight. As long as I got around ~90% TT returns, the occasional explosive projectiles recycle 1 blueprint would put me into the positive after markup.
So far, I've cycled 505.32 PED through the print, which equates to 25,266 clicks. I've received 478.80 PED of output (94.75% TT), which is great, but I've been surprised that I haven't gotten a single output of the recycle 1 blueprint so far.
With the markup from the sale of the outputs, my all-in return is 485.99 PED (96.17%), equating to a loss so far of only 19.33 PED (< $2). So, this has been a fairly cheap experiment. Further, I acknowledge that I could easily get 5-10 recycle prints in the next ~25k clicks and that would totally mitigate all of my losses and put me into positive territory.
Still, I'm starting to wonder if this is a worthwhile endeavor and if I shouldn't just take the free 1% of markup available from selling my TT-fodder mining finds as nanocubes rather than losing the 1% by cycling my own cubes and incurring TT-losses as well. I'm looking for anyone who keeps data and is willing to share regarding their experience.
I know the community is secretive, so feel free to chat me in game if you're willing and don't want to reply here. That said, this is such a small amount of PED relative to the economy, and gamblers run through those recycle prints so fast that I figure it would be really hard for us to crash the markup on them (currently ~5 ped/click, nice!) just from a few more people knowing how it works.
Thanks!
John
