Doesn't matter. Each single mineral is randomly determined, and the only thing that affects your chance to get certain minerals is your rank.

Today i aquired 2 new planets, i went from like 20-30 minerals per hour to:
Minerals 136 units / hour
"only" cost me like 500k credits to do it.
So my max limit is filled up in like 29.5 hours instead of days

good job FuriousRage keep up the good work.

Well, just got my first Dysillon. Need 10 of those to re-equip my ship now haha.

seems like rank...i get a lot more of the top stuff now and usually cash in at 1500 built up.

What determins the max minerals i can have from my mines before i have to collec them?
im level 34 now and can onyl get 4000 as max. the (?) icon doesnt say.

the amount of planets you have

its 500 per planet.....artifacts are 1000 per planet

i have a BIG problem with my income.
So far i barely make 8k/hr from missions and the extra i get from mining is just a trickle, 46 minerals/hr. For energy i use high energy relays, which gives me 1 energy about every 2.5 min and my best paying mission is Shield test strength (takes about an hour to be ready).
i have to wait for hours now after i have leveled to afford the 343k to colonize, and i am scared out of my pants for how much the next planet will cost.
For that matter at what levels can you colonize planets? i am rank 28 now and waiting to get my 8th planet.
My research is 147/hr and artifact 85. The planet i hope to take soon is a large rich artifact
Hope this post isnt too much of a mess, will be happy to clarify where needed.

You get planets like this: 1 from being around and 1 every for levels. If you are level 28 your next one will be at level 32.

Ah ok, do you know how much the lvl 32 planet costs?

586k I think

/cry
fanx for the info though

wow... I am only 19 but have 75/29/105 (M/A/R), and two of my planets are not peaked yet...

Purely guessing, I would say you need at least one more Mining planet...

btw, I know my A is low, but I have yet to be impressed by the Artifacts at my level I have pulled... perhaps my opinion will change with higher levels, and then I can worry about increasing the gain...

Good luck out there!

artifacts are like russian roulette, your either ecstatic that your not dead (AKA you got AN ENERGY CUUUUUUUUUUUBE) or your dead(you got a dark pyramid, useful later but, mehhhhh)

My mineral income has been increased a crapton. For the moment I am bringing in 180 minerals an hour, and it'll stay that way until I have a decent amount of credits banked up.

Doesn't matter. Only rank level matters. ALWAYS try to keep mineral points so that you get better harvests at higher ranks

even though mineral types get better with levels, I have noticed that I can't get a Pawlacite without getting at least 300 dynite. So even though I may get more Pawlacite then 5 levels ago, I cant get it without at least a good amount of mining points saved up. (because it puts the points into the minerals mostly in order)

I have now managed to redo most of my planets:
"Minerals 292 units / hour"

i now fill my quota in 15-16 hours, before today and the remake, it was at 29 hours, and i only got 9 planets so far, but 10th is too expensive, way to expensive ;O

I'm rank 39 and I just found a Kurenite...
