I have created a mine and after it was created it said 1 Neptunium every 3.4 hours but then as I scrubbed into the future it changed the rate at which I produce Neptunium to 1/2.7 hours. After waiting a but I found that this is actually what it turned out to be. I was not the first person to have a mine in my game but somehow it is now saying I will win first as I produce 9/day whereas my opponent produces 6/day. Can anyone explain this? Why would the rate of production of Neptunium be higher for me than my opponent?

Hi there,

Mines produce 1 Kilo of Neptunium per day per outpost you own. If you have 7 outposts, one of which is a mine, you will gain 7 Kilos of Neptunium per day. 24 hours / 7 Neptunium = 3.4 hours per Neptunium.

However, if you now conquer two outposts, you'll have 9 outposts, and earn 9 Neptunium per day. 24 hours / 9 Neptunium = 2.7 hours per Neptunium.

Also, this is per mine, so if you get another mine, your mining speed will double.

does the mine itself count as a post? so if I have two factories, one generator, and one mine, does it produce 4 per day?

Yes
