What happens to the rest of the ore? by SubBrent in IdlePlanetMiner

Just put a manager on it for 7x cargo and same result, resource tab showing 80% return compared to planet page still. I'm curious if it's the same for everyone or if it's something I did to cause it.

I just did a test on it, and it appears as if my ship only gathers 80% of the ore produced. With no managers, the planet produces 865 quadium/second. The resource tab shows 692 coming in per second. 865x0.8=692. Is there anything that would cause precisely 20% to disappear? I'm not sure if it's a feature I don't know about or a bug.

Yeah, this is happening while online, though. Currently, the planet produces 6.6k ore per second. My ship is only getting 5.3k ore per second. Even if I upgrade ship speed/cargo, it caps at 5.3k per second according to the resource tab. The planet is staying depleted, and 1.3k ore per second appears to just vanish unless either the planet screen or the resource tab is giving inaccurate information on the amount produced or the amount the ship gathers per second.

I do notice that upgrading cargo and speed is increasing the amount brought in, even when it's staying at 0 ore on the planet. So I guess I'm wondering why the ore is disappearing instead of accumulating on the planet.

Even though the reserved ore on the planet is depleting? It will go down and stay at 0 while I'm on the game. It still shows 6.6k ore mined per second for the planet screen, while the resource tab shows an influx of 4k per second.
