The Economics of the Pywel Extraction Zones
In Marathon, extraction runs are won or lost in your inventory screen. Since backpack slots are strictly limited, maximizing your yield requires understanding the relative worth of every item. The Loot Value Calculator solves this by analyzing marketValue, weight, and slotSize for all extractable drives, materials, and gear.
A common mistake is hoarding heavy items simply because their base market price is high. For example, a heavy component selling for 12,000 Coins might take up 4 slots and weigh 8 kg, making it far less efficient than two Rare Data Drives that sell for 9,800 Coins each but only take 1 slot each and weigh a fraction of the mass.
