I was wondering what the numbers mean in the extractor head control unit in PI. On the left you have a number for each extractor head, e.g. 46.63 in the picture. Then you have the amount extracted on y-axis in the graph, 0-4000 in the picture. The y-axis bit is clear. The number for each extractor head is not. It doesn't seem to correspond to the extracted amount, it seem to correspond to the colour (blue, green, yellow, red, white etc) when you view a resource-amount on the planet. If haven't got perfect skills you don't see all the hot-spots. Does the head number show what you see with your skills and the y-axis the actual truth? But the extraction rate always seem to go down when you start the extraction compared against preview values, suggesting this is because of not perfect resource scanning skills. Although it's just guesses and I would like a more researched opinion. Might I even hope for some sort of actual fact?
