Sample farming respawn time?
So I've been messing around with automated byte farming, but I seem to be getting inconsistent income. As far as I can tell the machines keep going off-planet (at least my atmospheric condensers keep going on Atrox).

I started with 2 underground byte farmers on Glacio. With its wind rate, it seems it takes 6 wind turbines for it to run at full power off the battery alone without going into a lowered power state. So it should be running 24/7. At full power both of them are giving me 78 B/m.

Do the samples respawn slower than the amount of time it takes to research (assuming it does properly run off of one medium battery that's always full)? I've placed them next to triple spawn sample locations (also assuming the initial 3 samples have their own respawn "slots").

Anyways, what kind of setups do you all have, I'm kind of curious?

Do research chambers only give you income if you are on the planet? When I'm on Glacio, with the 2 underground ones going and 2 surface ones for the large research samples, it reaches up to 395 bytes per minute, but it seems to stop when I return to Sylva. I'll have to build a bunch more on Galcio just to test it out.

At least on Sylva atm I have 2 medium resource containers filled with Astronium being auto researched, so that's 64k over time as well.

Hah, I actually watched that recently, but I wonder if it's because of how he linked everything together with the switches that's causing it or something. I'll make a bunch separately to see if some of them bug out eventually.
