I just found a bug in the daily bonus.
I received just now an market raid power and kept that window with "Apply now" open, to collect the needed recipes for my most fertile market. I collected the missing three recipes, to get the full raid.
But when I hit after that "Apply now", I received for those three materials just one item per kind. Just like it would happen, when clicking immediately the button.
Its inconsistent to other daily powers, because with SAC and SM its honored, if you update the targets first, before supercharging.

how much ores, smelters and crafters did you have?

an MR gives as much resources as you can generate in XX time , with a minimum of 1

that means that if you have a recipe, but for example no mines producing the ores it needs, i would expect it to still give you 1 bar

XX time is 1d(10d with Superpower).

Does anybody know more about this calculation?
Is it only based on ore income and current smelting speed or is it calculated by active smelters?

Even if it is calculated only by ore income and theoretical smelting speed, it looks like, that you should activate SM artifact (if you have) and set the mine with the biggest income of that ore to double speed (if you have won this from hardened level) before using this power.

It doesn't matter what your smelters and crafters are doing, only how many you have.

But, if you don't have the recipe, MarketRaid gives you only 1 item, which is the most likely cause of what you observed.

edit:
You mentioned collecting recipes, so that does ruin that idea, sorry.
I am confident MR respect current game state when you hit Apply, just like the others.
I am now with JK, I suspect you had no mines or inadequate mines to produce the alloy, thus got the minimum of 1.

besides the supercharge mine, its also further boosted by smelter and crafter (for items only) efficiency and speed upgrades

you have to mix and match artifacts and techs to get the best results

basicly, the more you in theory could make of it in a day, the more you can get

tho i must admit that i dont know how your current resources factor into this
