Yes, but it depends on the state of your empire. For every mine you have, each outpost earns you 1 per day.
So with 1 mine and 11 outposts, it will be 11 Neptunium per day.
If you drill a second mine, your rate goes up to 2 * 11 = 22 Neptunium a day.
If you then lose an outpost, it goes back to 2 * 10 = 20 Neptunium a day.
So while you can predict your own mining rate pretty well, it's hard to predict that of an opponent. Is he gonna overtake outposts or lose them? Is he gonna drill another mine?
And does a captured mine still produce at the same rate? I thought I saw in a game the the rate changed upon take over. Does anyone else notice this?
It does, because after capture it belongs to another player. So the mining rate will be THEIR amount of mines * THEIR amount of outposts.
Hope this helps!
