How fast to materials get processed

[Panfilo]

This is driving me nuts. Nobody seems to know; say with lvl 99 base development, how fast do they get processed? Anything mined or from a big container is unprocessed ; depending on how long it takes to actually process it an invaded player might have plenty of time to steal his resources back.

This might help you out a bit. <---- Click me

Below I will list what level you must be to acquire said rank for that function along with how much time needs to pass before your materials are automatically Processed.

*1-4 = F (60 mins), *5-13 = E (48 mins), *14-24 = D (36 mins), *25-40 = C (25 mins), *41-60 = B (15mins), *73-98 = A (12 mins), *99 = S (10 mins)

So in the link it said it procs each time a checkpoint is reached? So just afk in a truck every night? Man I wish I knew that a long time ago!

[Comrade Brendonian]

Yeah, he also tells you the best spot to do it, which is in Lufwa valley near the mansion. I tried it out right after he posted it 2 months back, it was really handy and great.

Anywho, I hope this solved any questions you had on the subject, if so, glad I could help. (:

[Panfilo]

So from what I understand, based on my base development level, materials get processed every 12 minutes. This can happen up to once per checkpoint . so just laying in a truck letting it trigger checkpoints will allow the materials to continuously process every 12 minutes? How quickly do you burn through all of it?

[Comrade Brendonian]

Correct, what I did was farm a lot of unproccesed resources then I left my game running overnight while I sat in a carboard box in the back of the truck at Lufwa Valley, when I came back, most of it was done and I had hit the max resource cap at the time (before they got moved online)
If you want to see how quickly it burns through it all, go to Lufwa valley, get a timer and jump in the back of the truck, start it at your second resource process and stop it at your third, you'll then need to do some maths to work out the rest.

[Panfilo]

Where in lufwa valley is the truck?

[Comrade Brendonian]

The truck patrols between the Mansion and the first outpost, the LZ just north-west of the Mansion is inbetween the route the truck takes, so you can either run to the first outpost or the mansion and wait for the truck at one of those two locations.

[Panfilo]

Is that why that location is best? Because it just goes back and forth in such a small area?

[Comrade Brendonian]

Yep. It only goes to the first outpost, then straight back to the Mansion.

[Panfilo]

Wow! Again, I'm kicking myself it took so long to figure this out. Thank you so much! I can't wait to see how much more materials I process like this!

[Panfilo]

Also, any idea on how fast they get mined? How does the grades under each resource for each territorial waters correspond to mining rate?

[Comrade Brendonian]

Haha no worries, just glad I could help.
As for mining, I don't think anyones really figured that out yet, I forgot that was even a thing. I assume most other people have forgotten about it too.
I'd assume it would be the same as resource process, so the same times and theory. By that I mean the times and rankings in my first comment. So *99 = S (10 mins), but that's just my presumption.

[Panfilo]

Different waters offer different rates; Indian ocean is particularly weird for example. It mines fuel, bio, and common metal at s rank, but doesn't mine minor or precious metal at all.

[Panfilo]

Hmm, I thought I unlocked the waterproof box, but my boxes are degrading every time it rains. haven't gotten discovered yet, not so sure about my luck all night though.

[Comrade Brendonian]

Well yeah, so I assume fuel, bio and common would take 10 mins to mine, Anything that's A rank would take 12 mins, D would be 36 and so on and so forth. But that's just what I'm assuming, since I don't think anyone has fully figured it out.
