I looked deeper into the Extractor thing and i think its broken :

My first Layout was 6 Extractors with the following "Raw Output Quality Index" : 191.69, 192.66, 189.58, 183.64, 185.01, 192.56, 189.68

this Numbers result with a 4 Hour Cycle resulted in 46940 per Hour and 187762 total.
an 3 Hour Cycle is even worse with 46901 per Hour.

Now i moved the Extractors a bit around and at some points i got some Spikes at the Start of the Graph and now the "Raw Output Quality Index" : 175.31, 188.32, 187.03, 183.64, 174.98, 177.33, 181.95

This spike was only on certain points of the Map and to me it looked like they where only one pixel Size. The next Strange thing was that placing one Extractor at the Spike and moving another Extractor did break the Spike and i had to move it back ( I placed the Extractors all on the Maximum distance to make positioning easyer).

now this Numbers with a 4 Hour Cycle resulted in 57292 per Hour and 229169 total. Strange as the second set is lower than the first one.

even this Numbers are far away from my pre Expansion Values of over 66000 per Hour in a 5Hour Cycle.

And the best part is that after Starting the Program the Values of the Second example drop down to 51142 per Hour and 204571 total.

But starting the Program is not starting it really. You have to commit these changes on the Build Menu. Otherwise its also possible to cancel the Program.

At first i thought this will be less clicking but the more i get into it it seems to be only random numbers that will force you to move the extractors around to search for good Spots. Even more clicking and less planable PI Infrastructure.
