How the numbers are worked out

Production. A minion does a cycle of two actions (place, then break). One cycle takes twice the time between actions, and each drop comes out at an average amount per cycle. Items are counted whole, so results are rounded down.

Fuel. Speed fuels multiply how many cycles the minion does. Catalyst and Hyper Catalyst multiply production by 3 and 4. A fuel only works for its listed time. Tick "Refuel when it runs out" to keep it going the whole time. The fuel times come from the wiki's fuel table. Coal Block is listed there as 5 hours, but its own page says 12 hours.

Storage. The minion's storage is counted in slots, and one slot holds one stack. Storage from the wiki (items) divided by 64 gives the minion's slots, and a backpack adds more. Ender Pearls and Duck Eggs stack to 16, everything else to 64. The minion is full when the next item has no free slot.

Super Compactor 3000. It turns items into their enchanted forms at the amount the enchanted item's recipe needs, then into the next form where the wiki lists one (for example Enchanted Iron Ingot into Enchanted Iron Block). Leftover items still take slots at every stage. Enchanted items are assumed to stack like the base item. Iron Ore, Gold Ore, Cactus, Stone and Charcoal are not compacted, and Mushroom Blocks are not modelled.

Diamond Spreading. It adds on average one Diamond for every 10 items the minion makes. Diamonds take storage like any other item.

Offline. Minions keep working while you are offline, so the days are real days.

Numbers are averages. Real drops are random, and game updates can change values.
