But you can see from the iron and stone that there is clearly something off. The Nitrate, lead and coal are very swingy as they are only gained on break, not per swing so it's harder to guage without a larger sample size. Lvl 100 with 10 Str: 48 Stone, 15 Iron, 4 Nitrate, 2 lead, 3 coal and took 15 swings to breakġ0Str + ML maxed: 99 Stone, 33 Iron, 10 Nitrate, 10 lead, 4 coal, 15 swingsġ0STR + 69er: 71 Stone, 22 Iron, 4 Nitrate, 7 lead, 5 coal and took 8 swings to breakġ0STr, 69er and ML maxed: 144 Stone, 49 Iron, 10 Nitrate, 26lead, 16 coal, 8 swings Lvl 1 no points spent: 91 Stone 29 Iron, 13 Nitrate, 7 lead, 11 coal and took 22 swings to break If it was just less resources b/c of fractions it wouldn't be so bad, but we're talking HALF of the amount of iron, going from around 30 iron per boulder at lvl 1 to 15 iron per boulder when you max strength, that's not losing a single iron per swing due to fractions. It’s been like this since at least A16 and is unlikely to change. On the other hand the more damage the faster you gather resources. The more damage per swing the less resources because of fractions. However having a 5 point tax on STR based builds simply the not lose out on effective resources seems punitive. I can understand the mods that make you break quicker reducing received resources if you are going with the idea that the mods is more for carving out bases in stone, not one to speed up gathering. THe mod that specifically increases damage to stone reduced the total time to break a boulder by 1/3 but dropped the iron recieved by around 5. In my final testing, breaking boulders with the Iron pickaxe also gave more iron+stone than breaking the same boulders with the steel pickaxe (though it was the matter of 2~3 iron at that point). I then tested Max str+ Miner69er, then Max str+Mother Load, and finally max str, mother load and Miner 69erĪs expected having max Motherload and max 69er gives the most resources, however the unexpected result is that a lvl 1 character gets the same amount of resources as someone who has MAX strength and maxed out one of Miner 69er or Motherload.Ī character who has maxed out strength but not put any points into either 69er or Mother Load only gets HALF of the resources they would get from that same boulder at level 1, meaning you have to spend 5 points as you level str to not fall behind. I tested base line lvl 1 character, and a lvl 100 character with maxxed out str. I tested using a lvl 6 iron pickaxe, and a level 6 steel pickaxe. I've done a few test for how to get the most resources per surface boulder in order to figure out my skill points I want to spend.
