What gathering timeouts are and what they should be are different things, until I can catch up with scypior, then they'll get fixed.
You can also gather faster than you can craft, so you really are able to have 2k crafted and $500 left over in raw materials.
1 junk should be 1 minute timeout, so you can gather 60 in a minute. $25 each piece = $1500 an hour.
$1000 of this is used to create $2000 worth of radios, $500 is the surplus.
$2000 in radios is 6.67 radios, so 60/6.67 = 9 mins - which is what a radio timeout *should* be.
Currently we also have some odd bug where timeouts are not the right length for some things either.
