What is it that factors into it and what, specifically, factors into it the most heavily? Is there a simple formula? Level, myst, and time alive are probably factors but anything else, and the specifics of that “anything else” would be nice. Do you get more stardust for smoking a strange device, for instance?
Edit: it takes time alive into account. If you have survived for a number of days or weeks you will see large dust numbers when you die, with your level as a multiplier. I’ve already read this bit but the question remains.
