Hi DWM

There is a progression on mining ie skills/location/etc

You should join an ORG or watch some videos on harvesting and mining. You will find it is actually worthwhile. And yes you will get more off the surface harvesting of what you get as a bonus on each mining unit than the mining unit itself ....it is NOT afk gameplay. And it is why DU limited calibration to once every 24 hours. 

feel free to find me in game if you want a chat.

Mining machines are 100% worth it IF you get a decent set of tiles as well as probably not doing this on haven. You can look in the circle around the mining calibration window and if you see any lighter spots along the edge that typically shows where you should be trying to place your calibration spot. 

Additionally the more tiles you have surrounding the better your adjacency bonus will be.  This will max out at 60% (10% for each edge). This is a huge help. Also not sure what skills you have on the mining unit handling but you can also increase the amount you get from that. A single T1 Miner can max out at 230L per hour so this would mean you could get up to 5520 per day from a single mining unit that is maxed out. Some tiles can even support more than 1 miner which can greatly increase your total throughput on the tiles you are paying for. 

As AhandinitFlo mentioned before you should join an ORG as this game becomes much better in groups and will greatly enhace your gameplay experiance with the right people. 

Feel free to reach out to me if you like, would be more than happy to help you where I can.

A single MU can get up to 230m3 per hour. Good tiles should be able to support 3 MU's.  A single character can manage 40 MU's. 

thats 1,545,600m3 per week.(worth about 18,547,200 quanta)  at the cost of 7,000,000 quanta. for a total profit of 11,547,200)

And thats only calibrating ore. If you played the minigame you could get an additional 4,485,600 quanta per week worth of bonus ore.  But your going from spending 30 minutes a week calibrating to 2 hours playing the mini game.  And this is only counting T1 ore.  Once you start getting into T2/T3/T4 ore. the value increases greatly.  Thats why you see people selling flowers for 500 million quanta a pop.  

But hey thats assuming your getting a good set of tiles.  Lets figure only your only running your haven tiles.  Your 8 MU's  should net you ~460m3 an hour. 11,040m3 per day. with an additional 62,300 of bonus ore. 513,380m3 total per week. worth about 6,160,560 quanta.  Granted thats the max you could get out of your Haven tile with 1 character wtih max skills timing everything perfectly. Realistically you would only be calibrating 4 large units once every 5 days. For a total of 110,000m3 per week worth about 1.3 million quanta. But thats with minimal effort and no taxes. Which you should not be turning into kergon. instead you should be selling it and buying kergon. which would get you about 50,000m3 of Kergon per week.
