I've now been mass-producing these for a couple of weeks; by my count, I've sent out around a hundred.
Are they worth it? I'd have to say, probably not really.
It looks like my initial successes - a couple of Glyphs and a Building Plan from the first batch of six - were pretty atypical. I'd say about half of the ships I send out don't find anything, and of the ones that do, it's mainly resources. I've had maybe a half dozen Glyphs, and one additional plan.
The resources seem to be in the region of 2,000 either Ore or Food - I assume that Water and Energy are possible, but I've yet to find any - which means that they don't come close to paying for the cost of the Excavator.
But I think I shall continue to send them out. The possibility of finding Plans is good, and since I'm already running a huge resource surplus and don't have anything else to do with the Shipyard - well, why not?
