Asteroid Mining Decay

What is the distance for asteroid mining decay?

from GalCiv3 Forums

I have looked everywhere here and elsewhere online. If the information is published I can't find it. Can someone please give me the actual distance in hexes?

<AsteroidMiningBaseBuildTime>3</AsteroidMiningBaseBuildTime>
<MaxAsteroidDistanceWithNoPenalty>6</MaxAsteroidDistanceWithNoPenalty>
<AsteroidProductionFloor>0.1</AsteroidProductionFloor>
<AsteroidMiningBaseCost>100</AsteroidMiningBaseCost>

So it seems like:
 - no decay for the first 6 hexes of distance
 - then .1 less every 4 hexes
 - then .1 total for 42 hexes and above

You're welcome.

First of all, thank you. Thank you very much. Sincerely.

Second of all, it's ridiculous to me that a game of this standing would force me to sift through hundreds of .txt files to find an answer to a question like this.

You tell 'em, Enskipp, I'll hold the crowd.

 

Empirically, distances 1-10 are 100%, 11-? is 90%.  So the roll-off isn't very great.  Now, this was on an older version.  Who knows if it's tweaked in 2.5+?
