You lose 1b on mining overflow because you met someone who has mining. This gives you a miniscule bonus teching it, 30% / number of players, rounded to the nearest percent so, 3% I guess. If you met 2 people with mining you have a 6% bonus, but that doesn't matter: either way it's too small to help.
But! Your overflow now gets divided by 1.06 to compensate for how it was previously "increased". 1/1.06 rounds down to 0. It sucks.
