Should I clone a part instance to create a new ore or should I create a new ore each time I need to?
I have a bunch of droppers that I need to loop through and have them drop ores. I was thinking: is it more efficient to :Clone() an already created part like this:
local oreToClone = Instance.new("Part")
local ore = oreToClone:Clone()
or should I just create a new instance per ore like so:
local ore = Instance.new("Part")
I hope you can help. Thanks!

If you want to start from scratch I'd create a new instance User#19524 175 — 6y

If the part you want to create or clone every time the dropper activates has alot of changed variables such as brickcolor, size and name then i suggest using Clone to limit the amount of lines because using Instance.new("Part") creates a new part with default parameters (2x4x1 dimensions) except if you use more code lines to change the parameters:
local part = Instance.new("Part")
part.size = Vector3.new(1, 1, 1)
part.brickcolor = brickcolor.new("Bright red")
But its really up to you.
