• ✅ The goal is to determine the value of each resource in its different variants (dirty and polished).
• ✅ An analyzer will be used to evaluate each resource and create a list of values.
• ⚠️ The process involves collecting five of each resource in its different states, which requires time and effort.

• ✅ Five units of each resource (emeralds, diamonds, rubies, iron ingots, gold ingots, copper ingots, etc.) were collected in their polished and unpolished versions.
• ✅ A mineral analyzer will be used to determine the value of each object.
• ✅ The results will be recorded in a spreadsheet for later analysis.
• ⚠️ The value of the resources is expected to vary slightly due to factors such as weight or quality.

• ✅ A mineral analyzer is installed in the main factory to evaluate the resources.
• ✅ The test begins with crushed coal, considered the resource of least value.

• ✅ The value of crushed coal is directly related to its weight.
• ✅ It is observed that the price varies according to the percentage of weight.
• ⚠️ It is decided to calculate the real cost at 100% weight instead of using a simple average.

• ✅ Standard coal is analyzed to determine if it follows the same value logic as crushed coal.
• ✅ It is confirmed that standard coal also bases its value on weight.
• ✅ It is concluded that there is no difference in the total value if the coal is crushed or sent whole, since the cost is divided proportionally.

• ✅ Iron does not follow the same logic as coal.
• ✅ Crushed iron has a value of $3 per unit at 100%.
• ⚠️ Whole iron does not double the value of crushed iron, but sells for $4.

• ✅ Crushed copper has the same price as crushed iron ($3).
• ✅ Whole copper sells for $5, exceeding the value of whole iron.
• ✅ It is highlighted that the value relationship is not consistent between the different resources.

• ✅ It is discovered that slag pipes can be polished, increasing their value.
• ✅ The test is interrupted to show the progress and interesting findings.
• ✅ It is revealed that many of the basic objects, both polished and unpolished, have been analyzed.

• ✅ The spreadsheet with the results obtained so far is shown.
• ✅ It is highlighted that the spreadsheet is raw and will be organized for better visualization.
• ✅ Interesting patterns in the values of the resources are mentioned.

• ✅ The values of the pure resources (crushed and whole) are compared and it is observed that coal doubles its value when whole, while others do not.
• ✅ The value of dirty and polished ingots is analyzed, highlighting that polished iron is worth more than polished copper.
• ✅ It is observed that polished copper tubes are worth more than gold ones, which is unexpected.

• ✅ The missing objects are collected (unpolished gold, scrap tubes and more slag).
• ✅ The tests continue, analyzing one object at a time.

• ✅ It is tested whether scrap tubes can be polished, but it is confirmed that there is no difference in their value.
• ✅ The polishing of slag ingots is tested, confirming that the process increases their value.

The final results of the test are presented, showing the value of each object in its dirty and polished state. The following points are highlighted:

• ✅ Polished copper tubes are more valuable than gold ones.
• ✅ Diamonds and rubies have a large increase in value when polished.
• ✅ The value of objects does not always follow a logical pattern based on the material.
