The documentation states that mined, roaded, rocky terrain should yield 3 minerals per turn. I have found that this combination yields only 2. Perhaps the instructions should have read "mag-tubed" instead of "roaded"? Or have I missed something? As it is, the use of mines seems pretty lame....
Thanks for any pointers.

I don't know what tech you have gotten to, but you need one of the "centauri" techs to be able to get more than 2 units off a tile (without mineral,nutrient, energy bonuses there) There are seperate techs for each; mineral, nutrient, and energy. Once you discover those your production will go up, to 3 or 4 or more later on.
