Minerals from forest chops...

[Geo]

Where should they go after a forest is chopped? The closest base, or to the homebase of the former which made the last cut so to speak?
Just wondering because I chopped a forest with a stack of formers (three different home bases), and the minerals went to the farthest base I have.

I actually know this one!

It depends - if the last former that finally completes the harvesting is independent, the 5 mins go to the nearest base.  Otherwise, it goes to the base that supports the former that finished the job.  This is even true if you've used the 'support from pact-mate's base' exploit - that base gets the mins (and it never cost them actual support in the first place).  This is true even using clean reactors.

Okay, riddle solved then. Thanks.
