It's really simple. There was a patch some time ago that changed how ore fields spawned. This caused energy minerals in the ground to make things like giant pen*s in the ground. Well naturally I would place my well over top of the balls, Kinda into the shaft. So day 1 the minerals get pulled out fine at a rate of 1500-2000 a tick. Then I come back 24 hours later and the wells are pumping at like 300 a tick. I go over to the well and scan it and a circle under neath the well is gone and it looks like it's only pulling from the few tiles just outside the circle. I can come back 24 hours later after that and the energy well will be pumping out 0 AP. I can scan the energy and it will be just a little energy on both ends there. I end up having to move the well 2 more times to force a new energy field to spawn to get it all out of the ground.
What I am trying to tell you guys, is In a 4 day period I might have to move an energy well 3 times(on the same energy field)
Now for a Stable base you have to use 4 wells..........(that's just a normal base with NO guns.) It's painfully tedious.
You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
