Scanning Bonuses

After acquiring development rights on an asteroid, the pioneers made use of the scan probes brought along on the Arvad to identify any unique artifacts that may impact resource extraction. Some of the asteroids showed significant abundance for certain resource types and became more valuable in the eyes of miners.

In addition to some asteroids showing a tendency for higher overall yield, there were also specific concentrations of volatiles, metals, organics, rare Earth elements, and fissile materials found. The spectral types had significant impact on the resource concentrations, and the bonuses to resource extraction seemed to be identified at the following rates:
