Subsurface Deposits are weird/bugged and are boosted inside any hotspot, even unmatching ones.

I noticed something odd today when mining for the CG.

Inside a Bromellite hotspot, I was getting about 1.6 tons of Tritium per subsurface deposit ejection. In no hotspot, I was only getting about 1 ton per ejection on average.

I went ahead and tested this with multiple resources and found this to be consistent across multiple minerals; SSDs inside ANY hotspot, even hotspots that are only for cores, produce about 60% more than they do when not mining in a hotspot.

This effect doesn't seem to stack; I didn't get any more when mining in a double hotspot than in a single hotspot.

Still, seems a bit buggy to me. Why would a Bromellite hotspot increase the output of tritium subsurface deposits?
 
Weren't tritium SSD yields buffed everywhere as a special case to help carrier owners mine fuel?

I'm not sure, but it applies to more than just tritium. You get more bromellite in a tritium hotspot, too. And less of everything outside of hotspots altogether.
 
Not a sarcastic comment - is it because it's a hotspot, and nobody has really paid attention to ssd drops before?

Honestly, not being sarcastic!
 
Tritium is plague now. If it's hotspot touches any other hotspot -- u will have most tritium. As for bromellite I found 2 places where "circle" is isolated. 1 was "thin" ring where there is only 1 layer of rocks = low & slow out. Another ring had 2-3 layers of rocks, that was fast - 30 mins for 150t repeated many times.
Just make sure it does not touch tritium spot any close.
