Yet another quick OOS question - Mining

[BryanNeff]

Forgive all the OOS related questions. I've been playing for years, since back when Reunion was young, and I've never actually taken the time to ask the questions that built up.

On the Mobile Mining Guide, it's stated that rock yield matters, but the entire guide seems to be talking about IS, player mining.

OOS mining obviously functions a little differently. If set to collect rocks from a broken up asteroid, is yield relevant? What other factors contribute to the quantity collected by each ship?

[TTD]

if IS then the rocks reform or respawn (iirc), and you have to break them again.

There has been a thread on it recently ,but not sure which one.

It's not the yield that's infinite, it's the number of rocks that can be collected. Yield determines how much mineral is in each rock. So yes, yield does matter OOS in that the higher the yield, the faster your miners can collect the minerals. Or so my experience indicates.
