i noticed while doing the first turn, but did not think that much of it, that the mining extraction rate that VPA displays in this PHost game is different than what it displays in the THost games that i have played in the past.

specifically, what VPA displays for this game is used by the following formula:

amt.extracted = trunc(#mines*ext.rate/100), whereas in THost the formula was:

amt.extracted = round(#mines*ext.rate/100), which amount was in fact extracted to the planets surface in the game.

granted it is not much of a change, but at lower extraction rates it makes a greater difference. and this game seems to have an abundance of lower extraction rates.

hmmm. speaking of which, what is the average (arithmetic mean) and, if different, the median, and mode extraction rate for this game?

This is a testing version.
It may be incomplete, and have more bugs (or features) than the public live version at planetscentral.com.
