I'm not sure if I'm imagining it, but if you stop the extractors sometime though the run, primarily after the initial peek of extraction amounts.
And then restart the extraction process, it looks like the peek output is again much higher, rather than at the lower levels it was running at.
Or am I just being stupid? (high degree of likelihood)

As 'hot spots' seem to be changing randomly (as far as i can tell, even though some say it's 'depletion'. If it's depletion, why would the yield change if i stopped the program and restarted it. Do minerals just appear and disappear into thin air?) it might just be luck you're getting higher yields.

Well just looking at the chart and on 4 planets they all show the same initial yield spike and then a drop off.
I'm not moving the heads, and it seems to be the same for them all.
Maybe it's by design to reward daily interaction?
Either way if so it does suggest you shouldn't let the program run it's course, but restart the program whenever you log in, or at least after the initial spike?

I'd agree with this. The old PI rewarded players for more frequent restarts, I should think that the falloff in PI yield is something similar. Notice how there is very little falloff in the 1hr program, a good deal of falloff in a 6 hr program, and HUGE falloff in multi-day programs.

I'd be careful with that, since the resource exhaustion seems to take place when you start a program rather than during the program. Repeatedly stopping and restarting programs may well deplete your hot spot much faster than simply leaving it alone.
So far, it seems to be about 'sustainable practices,' to coin a corporate phrase.

The update didn't exactly tell us anything we didn't already know.

LOL. Just read that page. ``Depletion works pretty much as you would expect...'' /facepalm

Read the bit about "Nuggets" and consider why your super-hotspots are depleting so quickly....
