I am back to mining again after the ecohunts experiment.
I started some enmatter trips, switched to ores and now back to enmatter again.
I keep every balancing in an excel sheet to see exactly where I profit and where I loose.
My main thing is the mining business, so I try to avoid the mobs as much as possible.
I started this range of trips at april 20 starting with enmatter and have now done trip #33 using a Tik500 and the MD-204(L) for big finds and the tt extractor for the smaller finds (big small in number of pulls) to minimize my decay as much as possible.
Interesting finds : X oil and IV Devil’s Tail
Yesterday I started with 100 probes (50 ped) and got 59.02 PED of enmatters back together with some fruits and dung. After and before the trip I put some ores on the auction.
Results #33 :
Probes : 50
Decay mining gear : 3.84
Cost ammo/armour/guns decay : 26.88
Auction fee : 8.19 PED
Cost total : 88.91 PED
Mining return : 59.02 PED
Hunting return : 10.30 PED
Auction profit : 34.78 PED
Total return : 104.10 PED
Difference : + 15.19 PED
This brings the total for 33 trips on
-193.43 PED for hunting (tt value)
-473.47 PED for mining (tt value)
+640.49 PED from auction (mainly ores and enmatters)
All together -124.53 PED netto after spending 3612.89 PED
