I've written a mod called Max Rate Calculator, which provides a selection tool you can use on a set of machines, and it calculates the net throughput rates, considering the beacons, modules, etc.

I've been asked to extend this to include mining-drills. For ores, it's relatively simple (though I haven't looked at uranium miners and the sulfuric acid inputs), but when the entity's mining_target is crude-oil, how can I calculate the units produced per second? The tooltip shows a 'yield' percentage, and I can see from the wiki how to get from that to production rate, but how is that percentage calculated?

Thanks in advance...

Though for internal calculations you shouldn't math.floor() it, that's just to make the printout look nice.

Many thanks!
