Rewards by activity

Normal Bomb Disposal missions give base rewards from 15 Explosives at L1 to 51 at L10. VIP adds 20%; hourly Double Earnings doubles the Explosives reward. This is separate from the bomb ped mission.
Cave Miner sulfur uses no TNT. Without VIP or Minerals, the reward is floor(1.5 x rocks). With both, 5 sulfur rocks give 9 Explosives. A drained cave bonus can change the amount.
LS Miner Explosives Ore pays across 5 successful extraction ticks. That does not mean 5 Explosives.

A bomb mission, several rocks, an ore block, and a delivery take different amounts of time. Compare the activity and conditions as well as its reward.
