Multiplicative events stack on top of everything, and on each other.

Rose Rain and Egg Hunt also boost Luck, but the wiki doesn’t say by how much — so they aren’t listed above.

10.0 minerals per cycle — the wiki gives this as √capacity.

15s

Your number, not the game’s — the wiki doesn’t publish cycle timings, so time a few digs and set it here.

Modelled from the wiki’s Luck Mechanics and Events: each point of Luck rerolls the rarity number and the lowest roll wins. Two limits worth knowing — the wiki never says what Luck its drop tables assume, so we take them as Luck 1; and the game applies an undocumented dampening that stops high Luck making commons unobtainable. Treat these as an optimistic upper bound, best trusted while a mineral is still a long shot.
