How to on finding ore, placing units and calibration

[Underhook]

An extremely talented youtuber has created a video to help fellow space peoples who may be having difficulties understanding how the new Demeter mining system works.  I think his name is Underhook

Anyway, so this post is not just a video promotion a couple of important details regarding the new system have become apparent.

1)   Calibration skills are extremely important.

2)  Adjacency bonus is probably not worth it unless:    2a )you have mining units on every one of those tiles    2b) your calibration skills are very good (since the bonus is applied to the final ore pulled and not the rate)  2c) Ore prices are good.

3)  Multiple units do not compensate for poor calibration skills.  Lets say our pull rate is 105lph and our ore pool is 220.  After calibration with low skills we might actually be extracting 50Lph.  However our mining unit is still drawing the full 105 and we still only have 115 remaining to be drawn upon.  So the maximum units we can have for that ore is 2.  The only way to increase our yield is through calibration and other skills.
