it's simple to explain, mining ships will deposit hydro on a planet if the sector is empty, if Crunch is used, or if the tank is full. But in the first two events, miners will do it anyway even if the hydro tank has 1 hydro unit, minimizing Hydro Replicator gains

How does that minimize replicator gains?

Lets make some quick math. lvl 7 Hydrogen Replicator has 21% of hydro boosts, and every hydro gain is rounded down. This means that if you gain 119 hydro you get 24.99 bonus, but for HS it's 24. Not 25. I'd like to give more examples, still with lvl 7 HR.
- 21 hydro - 4,41 bonus - lost 0,41
- 56 hydro - 11,76 bonus - lost 0,76
- 112 hydro - 23,52 bonus - lost 0,52
- 628 hydro - 131,88 bonus - lost 0,88
it isn't such a "gain", but it's still annoying if the assigned sector is empty, the tanks too, and instead of going in the next assigned sector the mining ship heads to a planet

How do you know that hydrogen gain is rounded down? BPs for example keep their fractional income.

Let’s assume 1 entire hydro lost per sector. Do you need that 36 hydro that bad?

This is incorrect. Hydrogen replicator rounds decimals up.
Observe
Replicator 10 is +50%
50% of 332.1 = 166.05
However when depositing the H, replicator shows +167 bonus, therefore I gain .95 H extra. Then it deposits 14.8 which adds a bonus of +8 hydrogen, etc

rounds up always or rounds normally?
wait always oh

If you had some sort of tool-assist like a bot or a script, yeah it's an exploitable bug, but in practice you don't gain that much

Fun fact, you can unequip CBE before every transport move in YS to preserve more hydro
Also, travel costs take into account docked position, so every time you need to move a TS left, you can dock all battleships and miners next to the transport

yeah
if you replace it you can do it even if cargo is more
but if you try to uninstall with more it fails you myst replace

It's not worth micromanaging to save that negligible hydro though, just upgrade your hydro economy instead
