Re: New devblog: Industry, remixed
Maybe this will help you to get an idea of amounts and fields in the new system. This is obviously all random and not how it will look like after the patch, but this is the general idea.

This is how random titan ore fields will look on New Virginia. Note the min/max/avg numbers on the top left. These mean one tile, that is 1 pixel on this image. The brighter the pixel, the more minerals. The total amount of titan ore is somewhere around 1 billion. When the amount gets below 900 million (the threshold is different for all minerals), a new field will be generated during the automated check.
This is stermonit on Tellesis:

And these are epriton fields on one of the new gamma islands:

Also note the black blocking parts on alpha and none of those on gamma. This was mentioned in the blog, generation will take passable terrain in consideration on alpha and beta, but on gamma it can be anywhere.
