Well, trust me if one factory has output 25 ore per 15 days and it raises total colony net surplus by 25...
and a mass driver has 25 "send away ore" per 5 days and it lowers total colony net by 25..
then don't trust your eyes. The ore net worth display is buggy!
Please consider that Mass drivers are not as weak as their description reads! From my experience, a colony with +110 ore can barely keep it's ore level with one of those. And they're quite easy to redirect towards space stations who mine energy or research, without ore income. Plus, they can transport ore to the Calypso while she's en route on long distance flights, and she (the Calypso) can redirect all incoming ore to another station itself as well.
