Quick answers
Frequently asked questions
Are these official Outpost or Excavator rates?
No. This calculator intentionally uses the rates you enter because the current static dataset does not contain verified NPC and production values.
When should the gather multiplier be used?
Use it when the output follows the server gather rate. Leave the shared profile at 1× for fixed vendor exchanges.
