Element Ore yield ranking
Average items per resource node or corpse at the selected settings.
Resource node · Corpse target
Range shows the approximate variation around each simulated average.
Node yields assume the recorded base harvest HP (e.g. 1000 for Redwood trees, 620 for Metal nodes). In-game, trees and rocks whose harvest health scales with their size have per-instance HP that varies with the node's size, so actual yields per node will vary. The values shown represent the average.
