Trial Results

I've been doing some sluicing testing and have achieved the following overall results:

With 4,000 gravel processed into ores: 988 copper (~25%), 989 tin (~25%), 793 coal (~20%), 816 iron (~20%), 257 gold (~6%), 72 titanium (~2%), 85 platinum (~2%). Last updated: --McClaw (talk) 17:40, 12 July 2016 (MDT)

Value

Consider the in-game price difference between purchasing 100 stone through a trade portal, crushing them to gravel, and processing them into ores with buying the ores directly. Based on statistically average outcomes and current prices, you'd spend over 6,000 times as much (mostly on the gold, platinum, and titanium in ascending order). But even pricing just one of the common ores, it would cost over three times as much (for 25 tin) and you get the other ores as a bonus. --McClaw (talk) 19:58, 3 November 2015 (MST)
