How better is the miner mark 2 then the mark one?

Like if you wanna recreate the effect of miner mark 2, would you need two miner mark ones or just like a thousand or something

MK2 is double of MK1

you can use MK1 with overclock 200% to achieve same result as non overclocked MK2
But if you can use MK2, you can overclock it to get double the double

Simple answer - each successive miner version is double the output of the previous.

But that depends on the purity of the node.

Normal Node? 60 would be the baseline.
Mk1 would pull 60
Mk2 would pull 120
Mk3 would pull 240

This is ignoring clocking rates however (So assume 100% (normal) clock) - but you should get the idea.

Also don't forget you are limited by the speed of your belt.
You also shoudln't feel compelled to build a MK2 if your MK1 can put out just as easily via overclocking - but a MK2 will have a higher output max obviously - and so forth with MK3.

Example:
Parts are very expensive when you first unlock MK3 unless you prep'ed in advance.
So may be cheaper to overlcock MK2's - provided you have enough power.

almost everything in this game goes up by doubling the level below.
so 2 mk1s is 1 mk2
and 4 mk1s or 2 mk2s are a mk3
mk2 pipes are double mk1 pipes
mk2 belts are double mk1 belts. but the belts dont completely follow the double rule as you go up but its close,

It's one mk better.

Thanks for helping me

a mark 2 is like a overclocked to 200% mark 1

a mark 3 is like a 200% overclocked mark 2

hypothetically a mark 3 overclocked to 200% is a mark 4

have fun with this knowledge

Yes.

The same is also true for impure nodes:

If you merge two impure nodes you get the outuput of a normal node.
If you merge four impure nodes you get the output of a pure node.

In Grassfield you have many of these impure iron nodes close together.
The only downsides: You need more power shards to overclock and more Mega Watts to power several miners.

An mk3 overclocked 250% on a pure node pulls 1200/min. And the maximum single belt throughput (mk6) is 1200/min.

I was irritated about this statement but out of respect for you I went trying this myself another time (just now)

Tested with Miner Mk1 and Miner Mk2:

Whatever output I have chosen: The Mk2 Miner always needs *MORE* power. This is true wether underclocked or overclocked.

Yeah, what a "coincidence"

The really cool thing is that one:

If you build a factory when you have mk3 belts (480/min) and all machines @100% , then later when you gain mk4 and then mk5 belts you do *not* need to add machines:

The same layout resp. the same amount of machines can just get overclocked to match the belt speed as exactly 480 * 2.5 = 1200. That comes in really handy and eliminates the need to always expand your factories with each new belt upgrade

Our 1.0 became a so much better experience

other than the already stated you double the gain from a mk2, you cant actually place 2 miners on one node so the same result can not be achieved with two mk1's

you can not place two miners on one node

Tier 4: Mk2 miners, mk3 belts
Tier 5: Mk4 belts, oil
Tier 6: Manufacturers, computers, heavy frames, trains
Tier 7: Bauxite, mk5 belts, supercomputers
Tier 8: Nuclear, fused frames, turbo motors, mk3 miners

It's questionable if mk2 miners, even overclocked, are adequate to tier 8.

Bugger if you feel they're not, I suppose.

If the node purity is high enough - yes - to a point.
No different than Mk1 vs Mk2.
