we need to verify before we update the page.

there are so many questions about resource related ops - 18 Wheeler,  Deuce and a Hal, Dragonfly and Jumbo Jet  as related to thorium.

What I think happens -

These op's just increase the extraction rate ( they should us "extraction" instead of "generation" in the description ) so ...

Oil and Metal Deposits have a infinite supply of their resources. So you gauge your generation of these two by the amount that is extracted over a set time period. Thus if you normally make 180,000 oil in a day from a Med Oil at a extraction rate of 7,500 per hour using the Dragonfly Op would speed the extraction rate up to 12,000 an hour for 288,000 for the day. Again this is possible because there is an endless amount of oil in a oil deposit.

Thorium deposit's have a finite amount in of thorium in them. So people don't gauge these in a reference of time but in the total. If you capture a Medium Thorium Deposit which contains a total of 250,000 Thorium it would normally take you  a little more than 6 hours to drain it at a extraction rate of 40,500 per hour. If you use Dragonfly then that extraction rate goes to 64,800 and hour which means it would take a little under 4 hours do deplete the deposit.

The only way this gives you more is if someone takes the thorium depot from you. This puts it back on a time scale meaning you were able to extract more in the time you possessed it then you would normally have been able to without the op.

Coming up with the wording of this for the page may be a little tricky lol.
