Github project of Mining Yield - Further math on yields, thanks to Wilm0rien based on his reddit post for yields, updated to patch 19.11.More information about skill requirements is provided in that link. They have extremely low yields with extremely high residue, making them suitable for strategic ore removal or for offensive mining operations against hostile player space.Īll crystals require their corresponding resource processing skills to be unlocked for use. Type C crystals are not for standard mining operations. The lower duration results in faster extraction. These crystals therefore will have a high mining yield but waste more ore in the process. Type B crystals have much improved yield bonuses, however, they also get a correspondingly high residue probability level to match. Type A crystals have moderate yield and residue bonuses, and are the most balanced crystals for standard mining operations. See moon mining for more details on specific ores. Moon mining crystals only have a visual change to put them in sync with asteroid crystals, and are still compatible with the same tiers of moon ores (ubiquitous, common, uncommon, rare, exceptional). They are loaded into the mining modules (like ammunition) and have a limited lifespan before they break and must be replaced with new crystals.Ĭrystal compatibility Asteroid Ores Mining crystal Mining crystals can only be used on modulated ore mining modules (any Tech II module with "modulated" in its name) and the ORE deep core mining laser, and increase mining yield when mining a particular kind of ore (but give no benefit when mining another kind of ore). Well, thats not entirely true, its a game in the sense that finding the fastest way to pull out an eyeball with a spoon can also be called a 'game'. Mining in EVE is broken, you can barely call it a 'game'. Within each tier, the crystals are further divided into 3 types with a Tech I and II variant for each type. There is a reason why the mineral market is supplied by fleets of mining bots. Crystals are divided into the into 6 tiers of standard asteroid ore types, and the standard moon ore tiers.
