(X-Tension V2) 

This is accurate to plus or minus 1 second.... 

To predict the cycle time for an Ore Mine built on an Ore asteroid of any given yield; 

Divide 1 by the yield, then multiply the result times 600 for the cycle time in seconds: 

(1/OreYield) x 600 = Cycle Time in seconds (+/- 1 second) 

----- 
For a silicon asteroid : 

(1/SiliconYield) x 2400 = Cycle Time in seconds (+/- 1 second) 



OOPS this is more accurate

In Response To: Formula:ORE/SILICON Mine Cycle Time (JeffB) 

Those constants don't work completly accurately (for some reason... I would have thought that this is based on even numbers / linear relationship).... 

Instead use this : 

589 / Ore Yield = Cycle Time in Seconds 

2314 / Silicon Yield = Cycle Time in Seconds
