you are wrong))) one root is one collector... once a day I go in and collect a full)

That's how you choose to do it, but that doesn't change the behavior of the root. I personally prefer to have two roots close that I put 4 extractors on and get the full 40 in one day, then dismantle them and wait the 7-8 in game days for the roots to recharge and repeat process. I dont wanna go all around to a bunch of different roots all the time.
this video has all the data if you care to educate yourself on the topic before telling somebody they are wrong.
