Game MechanicsThe concentration factor is an element of the creature harvest formula that takes into account the resource concentration values for a creature resource. When a player extracts resources from a creature, a check is made on the position that the player is at when issuing the harvest resource command. The resource concentration value at that position is then taken and divided by a constant value and then the result of that is compared with 3 cut off points. These cutoff points are indicated to the player and more commonly known as:
The cutoff point values for each result are:
