Mining Datamining (to share)

Ello. Just unloading some numbers I’ve been collecting. Hopefully the formatting holds.

Desert Rock breakdown, sample size: 250,000.
75% stone (187,335 / 250,000 = 74.934…)
10% flint ( 25,047 / 250,000 = 10.019…)
14% minerals ( 35,064 / 250,000 = 14.026…)
— 7.0% hematite ( 17,562 / 250,000 = 7.025…)
— 4.0% malachite ( 10,123 / 250,000 = 4.049…)
— 3.0% cassiterite ( 7,379 / 250,000 = 2.952…)
1% coins ( 2,554 / 250,000 = 1.022…)
— 0.7% silver ( 1,809 / 250,000 = 0.724…)
— 0.3% gold ( 745 / 250,000 = 0.298…)

Comparing: Mining chance at level 65.

Bronze Pickaxe: 93.170% (9,317 / 10,000).
95% confidence: 92.727-93.613%. Max 98/Min 87.
Stone Pickaxe: 78.119% (6,562 / 8,400).
95% confidence: 77.237-79.001%. Max 88/Min 69.
No Pickaxe: 68.180% (6,818 / 10,000).
95% confidence: 67.319-69.041%. Max 78/Min 55.

Comparing: Mining chance at various levels with bronze pickaxe,

57: 83.300% (4,165 / 5,000). 95% confidence: 82.292 – 84.308%. Max 90/Min 75.
58: –(no data)
59: –(no data)
60: –(no data)
61: 88.040% (4,402 / 5,000). 95% confidence: 87.187 – 88.893%. Max 96/Min 81.
62: –(no data)

64: –(no data)
65: 93.170% (9,317 / 10,000). 95% confidence: 92.727 – 93.613%. Max 98/Min 87.
66: 94.550% (9,455 / 10,000). 95% confidence: 94.147 – 94.953%. Max 99/Min 89.
67: 95.980% (9,598 / 10,000). 95% confidence: 95.601 – 96.359%. Max 100/Min 91.
68: 96.670% (9,667 / 10,000). 95% confidence: 96.330 – 97.010%. Max 100/Min 91.
69: 98.200% (9,820 / 10,000). 95% confidence: 97.949 – 98.451%. Max 100/Min 95.
70: 99.490% (9,949 / 10,000). 95% confidence: 99.336 – 99.644%. Max 100/Min 97.

Conclusions:

1) Pickaxes make a hell of a difference.
2) Mining chance appears to go up approximately 1.25% per level w/ bronze pickaxe.

Unknown:

1) Whether a pickaxe adds a flat +% bonus or if it’s multiplicative.
2) Anything else not covered above I guess.

And for completion’s sake (w/ bronze pickaxe like the rest):

71: 100% (10,000 / 10,000).
