I'm trying to find information about what happens when several players have overlapping extractions going on. Anecdotally, it looks like they affect each other's total extraction amounts. For example, the more people that set up extractors on a hot spot, the faster it disappears. By extension, that would seem to mean that the more people using a planet, the lower overall amount that any individual can extract. I can't seem to find any specific information about depletion rates/spawn rates or that sort of thing.
Can someone help me with my google fu? Everything I find is either referencing a single player's extraction with multiple extractors or to other related information about extraction rates. Bokononist

I don't have any facts or figures to back it up but I think it has generally always been a bad idea to set up your extractors where someone else is doing PI. So you don't really want to choose a planet where lots of other people have set up PI plants.
Some POCO in high sec are set at 75%+ tax rate so that alone says it all. |

I've heard that the mechanic for multiple extractors applies regardless of who owns them; if you have two extractors working on the hotspot, it's the same effect as two people having one extractor working on the same hotspot.
Mind you, this is from talking with people who have experimented slightly with this mechanism so it's hardly conclusive. Reading Comprehension: a skill so important it deserves it's own skillbook.

Surprisingly each planet has a set amount of material upon its creation, once one hot spot is drained the remaining material is moved around. Eventually these planets will have 0 materials and at that point the planets will be reset to how they were when EvE started and the cycle will repeat. This is why Null is so much better then Highsec, people in Highsec have hauled out a lot of those materials from the planets while the ones in Null have hardly been touched and retain most of the materials from when they were initially created at the beginning of EvE.

Thanks for the info so far. I'm really surprised there isn't more info out there on this topic. I expected Tau to take me to school. Oh well. Bokononist

Tl;dr other players don't directly take away your mining amount (Like if you overlap your own extractors) but they drain the materials faster in their extracting areas.
That sounds dumb and wrong. One or the other, or possibly both. I expect each planet has a "heat map" for each resource and that heat map is processed with some kind of rolling plasma effect. I expect one of the parameters of the effect is dependent upon the amount of extracted. |

I personally have had a WH planet with 3 Hot spots right near each other and they have stayed constant for about a year so far so I am amusing they have some sort of regeneration (one head per hot spot as its a huge gas planet and PWG is limited)

Confirming there is a kind of seasonal impact on planets resources. From my experience I see whites areas which appear randomly. |
