Heh, bad luck for you that I had just hit 999 posts, which was the incentive to actually go serious about it
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

Very nice post, aptly timed. I was just having a discussion with my friend about gas rates.

Great post. I noticed on some maps that certain positions required 4 workers for one geyser for optimal efficiency, while other positions only required 3. It struck me as a little annoying and unfair, but I never investigated further. Also,


Without a picture at this spot I'd lose half of my readers.

You are a genius.

Nice job spines! Did you test 4 workers at all?


Considering doing mineral formation tests too? bw had such bizarre mineral mining pathing. Sometimes if you moved entire formation over by 1 tile, it would be the exact same formation, but would mine completely differently. Definitely different workers mined the same minerals at a different rate (took longer/shorter paths to/from each mineral block).

super useful info for people making maps.

Im happy that workers at least collect at the same rate.
Those small maps were like a boxing match in a phone booth.

I'm a bit confused by the first picture in your post. It seems to indicate that you mine at 79% from the nearest spots with both one and two workers? Since this cannot possibly be right, I'm either misreading your diagram or there's a typo. Are the box and numbers on the left for 1 worker, middle for 2, and right for 3? Nice research though, interesting stuff.
Do it. Do it right. Do it right now.

Nice work with the calcs and the pics OP, nice to see some solid evidence on the number of workers needed. Seems like the bad spots take 4, but really good spots can handle as low as two depending on your gas needs. I always noticed this just by the rate of gas coming in but to see it with the diagrams and the calculations it really helps. Basically this should be a tip for map makers to try to choose good gas positions when making maps.

yea ever since i started 2 hatching main it became pretty clear that the geyser positions arent equal or optimum.
