Entry of collectable material for the chosen mode

Here you can enter the possible collect materials of a orb with the chosen mode. A material should be entered only if the chosen mode is the fastest way to get it. For each material the necessary collecting time should be entered. This is done by collecting a sample and measure the time for the collection proceeding.

The measured time is entered by three values. The amount of collected material, and the duration of the collection and a bundle count.

Bundle count is needed when you are collecting the same material from several equal sources like two plants standing besides each other. The bundle count means the count of equal sources you collected from (without traveling between). Otherwise the bundle count is 1.

After you have entered all collectable materials click the OK button. The saved screen appears.

You can now proceed to the main menu by clicking the link.

Selectable Materials

The drop down box contains only materials suitable for the chosen collecting mode.

Default collecting times

As convenience all materials have proper defaults depending on the collecting mode and also depending on the planet type. In the most cases you need only remove not collectable materials at your orb. This is done by choosing "please chose" in the first field and emptying all other fields of that row.

Under the form are some useful hints how to measure collecting times.
