Mining Beams - how they work

To add to previous comments - the yield to temperature curve greatly benefits those who have lots of practice in. I might not have any trouble hitting 2200 pretty consistently, but many people do. While I agree those that put more time and practice into it should be able to reap the rewards more, I think there comes a point where it becomes too frustrating for players who aren't that great at it. I also found that simply changing the graphics quality greatly improved my ability to get consistent burns, giving those with poor graphics capability a disadvantage.

Maybe just drop the curve down so that max temp is 2100 or so, that'll open up a little bit of room for error. That's not much of a drop, but still gives them about 25% more time before the asteroid blows up. For a new asteroid the difference between a perfect burn and overcooked will be about 1/3 of a second vice the roughly 1/4 of a second right now. Not a major change of play but might be enough to make the difference for some people.

No.

Need the base yield of Bastnaesite, Aurostibite, and Neurocrystallite. Anyone have numbers?

Aurostibite Base Yield:

100 Silicon 76.92%
10 Gold 7.69%
20 Antimony 15.38%

Bump for RAM.
