Introduction
OptiMine is a small Tampermonkey userscript that helps miners evaluate which upgrades may be most efficient based on Return on Investment (ROI).
The script is informational only.
It does not automate gameplay, clicks, or actions.
It only reads data already visible in the game and performs local calculations.
Main Features
-
ROI calculation (days/weeks) for:
-
Mines
-
Lifeform Buildings
-
Lifeform Technologies
-
Plasma Technology
-
-
Multi-planet overview
-
Custom resource conversion ratios (MSU)
-
Simple overview tabs for mines and lifeform bonuses
How It Works
ROI = Cost (MSU) / Production Gain (MSU)
Bonuses from research and lifeforms are considered where visible in the UI.
For LF Techs, a manual one-time selection is required because the active tech per slot is not clearly exposed in the UI.
Limitations
Currently not included in calculations:
-
Energy constraints
-
Construction/research time
-
Crawlers
-
Temporary bonuses (officers/items)
-
Some cost reduction effects
Compliance Notes
-
No automation
-
No bot behavior
-
No automatic actions
-
No server interaction beyond normal game loading
-
Purely calculation and display
Screenshots
- please find attached all 5 tabs from the script
Changelog
v1.0.0
-
Initial release
-
ROI calculations for mines and lifeform bonuses
I submit OptiMine for review and toleration.
If adjustments are required for compliance, I will gladly adapt the tool.
Thank you for reviewing.

P.S
Technical Question / Community Feedback
If anyone knows a reliable way to automatically detect which Lifeform technologies are active per slot from the game data, I would greatly appreciate guidance. I have tried to find a method but have not managed to retrieve this information reliably, which is why a manual one-time selection is currently required.
