Ratios for minable systems

[Mike Reacher]

I used the search function, but did not find any information.
In systems that have Pristine, ranging down to Systems that are Depleted, is there a fixed percentage of minable materials and metals?
Or is it just dumb luck?

there is a fixed range of values asteroids % of a mineable commodity can have, which depends on pristine to depleted; other factors play in it (buffs for RES for exampel). so status pristine makes it more likely to find asteroids with high % of a mineable conmodity.

i'm not sure whether mining for materials (not commodities) follows the same rule. material list in a ring is fixed per individual ring, but spawn of one of those materials is rng/"luck".

type of mineable commodity depends on individual asteroid consistent for all commanders - mapped mining takes advantage of the same asteroid always giving the same commodity after cooldown.

again i don't know whether the same is true for materials.

I don't think anyones tested that since Limoncello many years ago. I look forward to your findings!

(In the meantime I'll be sticking to the Pristines, not like they're hard to find )

I wont be testing, but I mined a Major yesterday.
It was way lower than pristine, in my opinion.
Yep. Stick to pristines. And most semi-rare metals are good prices and easy to load your hold.
