The use of components for repair (Gears - Cost 125 scrap, Sheet Metal - Cost 30 scrap) pretty much nullifies much of the gain you get from a L10 Quarry, accounting for the fact that you need a multi-level Pumpjack to sustain the Quarries (or someone else's pumpjack by buying their LGF). Each repair only does about 30 pts (out of 2500 full health) and I also found that my quarry kept running long after it filled further damaging it. The LGF cost is a major cost factor as it is. If you want to balance out the materials coming out of those L10 Quarries they shouldn't require components such as Gears or Sheet Metal but the things they are outputting (after refinement). Some of us purchased Pumpjacks to sustain said Quarries. Either way the economy this wipe is already borked. I'm sitting on about 130k HQM already which is 260k Scrap. In the end it's just points to buy Helis and whatever else gets added to the point system. Changing it this way now seems silly.

I did some testing and I am curious to confirm the base rate for each of the ores of the quarries. It seems that it might be better to only have high yield HQM Quarries fully upgraded. For example, a Quarry over a Metal Ore Site (14.3/min) will always give that yield, multiplied by the level, when upgrade to Level 4 (which would otherwise unlock Metal Ore). However, my HQM Quarry when upgrade to 4 unlocks Metal Ore at a base rate of 22.5/min which seems really good. Was this intentional then? I haven't been able to test what the base rate of HQM is for a Quarry site not over HQM but if that is high maybe it is better to just find a Quarry site that only yields stone and max it out.

Hey Death. For the levels that unlock the other ore types, do you mean the unlocks are at Levels 4, 7, and 10? Cause at Level 3/10 my HQM/Stone quarry doesn't get Metal Ore. Also, you mention the quarry pulls based on the area's richness. What is the richness based on for HQM/Stone? Would a L10 Quarry pull more HQM from a vein with a decent HQM or one that pulls a very high amount of only stone?
