Metal Mining Breakdown

I decided to do some testing on the different metal materials and wanted to share my breakdown.

The Why(and How)
Initially while I was mining I went for the "Better Metal" as soon as I could mine it since I figured it would be faster to mine but after a while I felt like it actually wasn't and wanted to test it.

For testing I set up a custom world with the three types of metal set up in huge straight swathes. I then gave my character all the stamina and speed upgrades so getting around didn't take forever.

I also created a basic autohotkey script to drill and move to the right for 100 seconds. I then loaded in and mined each of the three metals three times each with each tier of drill that is currently available.

For clarification I'm going to describe each of the three metals and use the name the map editor has for them.
Metal is the rusty brown material that you can mine straight away.
Better Metal is the gold/silver colored metal that you have to upgrade your drill to mine.
Super Metal is a purple obsidian looking material that requires tier 5 drill to mine.(Also, I don't think it's actually on any of the official maps from what I saw.)
The Info
The three numbers between the : and the ; are how much of that type of metal I got after mining for 100 seconds straight using the autohotkey script. The number after the ; is the average of those numbers. This isn't perfectly accurate since I had to line up the player myself and sometimes it drifted.
Drill tier 0:
Metal: 146, 145, 145; 145
Better Metal: 0
Super Metal: 0
Drill tier 1:
Metal: 232, 230, 232; 231
Better Metal: 126, 126, 128; 127
Super Metal: 0
Drill tier 2:
Metal: 357, 352, 374; 361
Better Metal: 226, 220, 226; 224
Super Metal: 0
Drill tier 3:
Metal: 489, 489, 484; 487
Better Metal: 316, 318, 320; 318
Super Metal: 0
Drill tier 4:
Metal: 636, 640, 639; 638
Better Metal: 450, 462, 460; 457
Super Metal: 0
Drill tier 5:
Metal: 703, 704, 704; 704
Better Metal: 578, 580, 584; 580
Super Metal: 308, 308, 308; 308
Conclusions
When mining metal you should always go for the Metal over the Better Metal or Super Metal unless there is a long walk to get to it or there's a lot more of them close by.
I would also avoid mining the Super Metal unless you absolutely have to because of how long it takes.

I think it's time to actualize this research in case there was a lot of updates in last 2 years :beatmeat:

Better and Super are denser though and procure more metal per surface area.
Dynamite can break super metal and it is often used to block areas...

The super Metal is found in Blast from the past in the upper left corner.

Like I said in the post, the super metal isn't actually on any official maps yet. I put it in since it's available in the map editor. The amount gathered per area isn't changed, only how fast you can mine through that area.

also wanted to ask, you harvested 0 from the basic drill on the better metal, nd higher amount on the metal.
is this cause it was to hard, or are you actually getting more ore drops from the upgraded drills

Like if you mined a cluster x size, would doing it in full give more yield with the max drill?

what do you mean by super metal?
ive only seen 2 metals from what i can tell.
dark brown which you cut threw as fast as the lumin.
then lighter brown that is almost as hard as they grey rock which takes forever to drill even at max upgrade.
what is this 3rd color?
maybe put a screenshot of each metal in your guide

The blue stuff is Eroded Lumen, which you need the associated technology to convert it to regular lumen which can then be mined.

Can you mine the diamond-looking stuff?
