I started my first game with conventional start, I mean pre trans-newtonian. My first geology survey team did a very good job both on Earth and on Mercury, but then I built a second and a third military academies, and formed other three geology teams. I expected at least to double the rate of mineral deposits discoveries, but that is not happening at all. Now the rate of discoveries is less than it was with just one team. How does that work? Is the time needed dependent on the body you are surveying? As an example, I stationed a team on an asteroid for 3 years, and no discoveries at all. My first team on Mercury discovered a mineral deposit every few months. The same team, that now has a skill of 200, is now spending his time on Phobos, making parties, it seems.
