does party size effect the amount of crowns in a level? would a 4-man party get more crowns than solo?

Only thing split up is drops.
Only thing split up is drops. Crowns, minerals, and heat are all equal, barring heat gain or loss from dying or being revived.

However, with 4 men in a party, there are 4 times as many drops as in a 1-man party, thus, on average, you get the same amount of drops, crowns, heat (more for rez), plus you can carry more minerals.
The only thing the party size does actually effect is the health of monsters, and the chance of getting a gear drop - 4 men means that you have a 1/4 chance of getting it, roughly (whoever reaches it first gets it - hence, wear Mercurial!) - but the (very slight) increase in chance of getting the gear drop is not noticable.

Huh, there are more drops in parties? I'd always heard it was the same number of mats, which was why people would want to solo levels that they could to get more mats for energy spent. This changes things...

Uh, no, that fact that whoever gets it first keeps it does not work. It used to, long ago, but no longer does. Also, the fact that more mats drop is very debatable. In fact, I'd have to say nay on it.

OK, sorry, but I forgot to mention that the mat drops were unconfirmed.
Sorry, Halandin, as well, if this turns out wrong.

The actual amount of stuff
The actual amount of stuff dropped of any sort doesn't seem to have anything to do with the number of people in the group. When it comes to minerals, you get more, because you get the minerals everyone takes onto the elevator. But the value of the minerals you find doesn't seem attached to the number of people in the group. You have the potential to get more heat, not because more drops, but because you can revive downed party members and take their heat. But mats and (very rare) item drops are divided randomly. So yes, if you are wanting to farm mats, you may be better off on your own.
Nope.
