3 Quick overview: metal produced by overdrive is (sqrt(energy)/4)*BaseMetalExtraction. This is on an individual mex basis, and an energy grid will automatically overdrive the more efficient mexes more, spending the energy however is most efficient. Some synthisis on this is 1 energy gets 25% overdrive, 4 energy gets a mex to 50% overdrive, 16 energy gets it to 100% overdrive. higher value mexes produce more metal with overdrive because overdrive is an amplification of base. 3 Quick overview: metal produced by overdrive is (sqrt(energy)/4)*BaseMetalExtraction.

5 Edit: Overdrive payback is how long it will take to pay for the metal cost in overdrive at current average baised on how much energy the building produces. if a solar takes 2 mins to "overdrive payback" that means overdrive will probably be around .6 m/s, coming to about 2 mins for 70 metal, the cost of the solar.
