[weak tinsel]

if it had the tractor as it was with the placeholder it would be THE MOST convenient ship to move cargo with
and i feel like they want to force you to get others so the atls has some use

[glossy wing]

having some trouble finding rocks to mine in my Geo, mostly tried around Daymar, anyone had success elsewhere?

[shut isle]

this is new right?? being able to refine from station?

or am i just dumb

couldnt we only do it from the mining ships themselves?

[hearty python]

fairly sure thats new

[ionic elm]

That is new. The bigger question is if you can collect to the station....

[shut isle]

yooooooooooooooooooooooo sick

org golem mining ops here we go

[weak tinsel]

pings below 5km form ship are gems any other are big rocks

[mild pumice]

found a new decent hauling ship lol

[vestal ravine]

Most of the L stations always had refinerys...

[shut isle]

refined from the station not the golem is my point

[mild pumice]

I'm glad they tested the cargo modules on the tali

[plush dove]

explosion

[mild pumice]

that was an absolute nightmare to get out, guess the rule is don't fill to the end lol

[plush dove]

tragedy

[vestal seal]

is the argo raft rework already in the pu or is it just in a test server atm

[mild pumice]

pretty sure thats for .1.1

[stray tide]

guys , i have a question , I have been trying to buy them mole but i couldnt find anywhere online about the max rock / asteroid mass that mole can handle solo... I am looking for bare minimum. I have tried the mole by renting it but the rental only broke till 9k rock mass

[mild pumice]

you generally need multiple lasers to break over 10k rocks, you might be able to do a loadout with reiger and surge that does more but it will depends on factors like resistance too

[stray tide]

SO i have a golem , should i get a diferent ship for solo innig , should i go for mole or prospector is fine ? or is golem just enough !

[mild pumice]

I'm happy using a golem or prospector but I only dabble tbh, hopefully an expert will be along with a bit more info for you

[stray tide]

Okay !

[weak tinsel]

read the #sc-patch-notes

[weak tinsel]

20k ish mass

[past fractal]

This is just my opinion

The Golem is a maxxed out power, maxxed out window, Prospector. It's literally equipped with a better Helix, which is the powerful laser the Prospector has, plus the window bonus of a more stable laser and 2 slots for modules.

The cargo box on the side is big enough to hold 50 gadgets if you need them. Additionally, the ship is far more agile and responsive than the Prospector.

The only downside to the Golem, in my opinion, is that it is capped at 32 SCU, where you can 'bug' the Prospector into having more, although, that may change in the future, in either direction.

Given the price-point of the Golem versus the Prospector, there is no reason to own a Prospector unless you specifically want to mine Quantanium, and even then, the MOLE is better suited to that anyway

[weak tinsel]

imo prospector is only better than the golem for full min maxing but its not much more mass you can get

for a solo mole i enjoy it much more than the prospector, the rental mole is bad and a prospector is better in rental due to just cost
bought mole can be made to crack 35k mass solo iirc and with a team just 3x that

[stray tide]

thank you @past fractal @weak tinsel

I already have the golem for now so i will stick with it , and see if i want to put 8-10 mill on mole , coz that is decent money but idk in how long i can make that back with mole

[weak tinsel]

mole is like 6mil max with upgrades

[stray tide]

per hour solo?

[weak tinsel]

no i mean prie range

[stray tide]

and any specific ore

[stray tide]

oh ok i was told it cost 8 mill..?

How much were you able to make roughly with a mole per hour …? from the work order estimate

[weak tinsel]

oh nevermind 9mil cost sorry

[stray tide]

no problem:)

[mild pumice]

not my pic (from reddit) but in PTU local inventory is now an option for refinery orders, yay

I wonder how it defines box sizes tho

[stray tide]

@weak tinsel , could you answer this

[weak tinsel]

yeah gimme a moment

plaing fps game

[stray tide]

cscu = scu x100 if im not wrong….

[mild pumice]

no I mean what box sizes it gives you in your station inventory

[weak tinsel]

it always tried to make the largest size possible

[mild pumice]

a welcome addition anyways

I might actually start mining

[weak tinsel]

mining per hour is not a good metric of money making
since finding rocks is rng, then also haul and sell time
but per run i usually get around 300-500k cuz im lazy and not pick best rocks and it around 45min

[stray tide]

thnx , this helps a lot !

[weak tinsel]

if you were to focus and try a little bit harder than me you can make that much faster

[past fractal]

Generally, just focus the higher value materials in whatever rocks you find, and can break. Try to avoid picking up anything that sells for less than 1k per SCU

[craggy tapir]

If you got, say, 67scu of good
It'll make 2 32scu, 1 2scu and a 1scu box

[regal tide]

What's the estimated time frame for this 4.1.1 update I just want to make sure I'm storing all the ships manually

[rocky niche]

hows the Hull C working after the maintenance?

[near swallow]

Nobody knows when 4.1.1 will go Live. Right now I think it's only Wave 1 PTU.

[vivid river]

Give it bout a week

From wave 1 ptu release

[limpid sluice]

They've been aiming for monthly-ish updates so. Probably end of next week at the earliest?

[pearl juniper]

Last Thursday or Friday off the month has been the pattern for the last three or four months now

[hoary hinge]

However we expect this to be the ILW patch, and they have started PTU relatively late in the month
Would not be surprised if the patch drops a week or two later

[near swallow]

When it actually does go live however will depend on it's stability. They may want to do patches at the end of the month, but they're not likely to do that if it's going to totally screw up the PU and prevent everyone from playing, as an example.

[pearl juniper]

Really? Every one of the last four patches have had some degree of issues in release, and then it gets hot fixed over the next few days.

[analog grotto]

Any of the hot fixes today actually address planet mineables or are they still broken?

[pearl juniper]

I'm not saying they aren't making progress, it's way better than it was a few months ago. And I'm sure part of it is needing more people to test than that get in the PTU. But they will certainly release patches that still have major issues, they do it every patch

[tepid sonnet]

How do I scan for and Identify Ores in a Golem?

[tepid sonnet]

https://www.erkul.games/loadout/aO9dseV4

Is this build good?

[winter steeple]

I’d like to know this as well. I haven’t been able to use my geo since the update.

[near swallow]

I did some mining at Wala earlier and it was fine.

I did make the mistake of going out with a Mole that, while not full, wasn't empty either, so my first mining trip was short and I ended up doing some space mining after that.

[twin lodge]

hi can someone help me mine with my golem

[regal tide]

Is there a Vtol deploy only and retract I'm only seeing toggle?

[wispy abyss]

Any reason why half my cargo grid on my ship stopped working? LMAO

[weak tinsel]

i know its a bit late but how may i help

[wispy abyss]

Anybody have the Hull-C?

[twin lodge]

Tomorrow i can play its very late now

[rocky niche]

do i risk submitting this?

everything is delivered, but it didn't complete the contract

[weak tinsel]

do you have much rep to lose ?

[rocky niche]

would prefer not to

[weak tinsel]

well then dont risk it imo
i dont do cargo but i know that if you submit broken quests it resets rep
but abandon or server hop which is equal either does not make you lose much or lose a little

[rocky niche]

just gonna relog

[mild pumice]

I have submitted loads like that with no issues as long as a large percantage shows as delivered you should be fine

if it shows a low amount or zero then yeah just abandon or relog

I only use the word 'should' because you never 100% know with SC but I have personally abandoned 100s of bugged missions and submitted dozens of partially completed (as long as they show as such) and have never lost any rep and I have made it 3/4 through senior both before 4.0 and since

[dense burrow]

Worked fine for almost 4 hours of mining last night

[slate spruce]

Pyro or Stanton? (I heard Pyro was long-term in much better shape and most problems occured in Stanton)

[dense burrow]

stanton.

Was mining Taranite Bexalite and Gold (and some quant) on Microtech.

got almost 600k from 4 Golem runs to sell later today.

[unkempt vale]

So I got a prospector hoping for some easy money, went to an astroid field in Pyro but everything is "impossible" - what do I need to do? I'm guessing upgrade various parts, but I don't have much aUEC yet

[dense burrow]

What laser are you using and what modules are on it

[unkempt vale]

Just whatever it came with, entirely stock

[floral spindle]

Could just be some good luck, probably your components.

Could also be if you're not in good range.

[dense burrow]

oh yeah you gotta upgrade it

[unkempt vale]

What parts would you suggest?

[dense burrow]

stock it might do 8-10k mass rocks, but pgrade with a ddifferent head and passive modles it'll to 14-19k mass rocks all day.

[dense burrow]

for more beginner, if you carry a few gadgets with you I run the Hofstede S1 with a Reiger C3. that will break typically 9-13k mass rocks pretty easily, depending on resistance (can lower with gadgets). For a more advanced build (and you have tot work with it cause of the optimal range) the Helix I with a Reiger C3 and either a Focus III or a FLTR-XL.

that can break 13-19k mass rocks all day depending on resist values.

anything above 15-16k I don't typically aim for cause one of those and you're heading back to the refinery for offload.

I personally use a Golem witth the Pitman (bespoke/unswappable head but itt's 90% as good as a Helix witth better optimal distance) and a Reiger C3 and Torrent III (to get the optimal charge rate back up).

[weak tinsel]

also mining planet side is now working and you will have a lot easier time finding breakable rocks
asteroids are most of the time either really big or really small

[dense burrow]

Yeah I only do planetside mining. Both solo Mole and Golem

(Have a in game prospector too but it just collects dust right now lol)

[sonic fiber]

Don't suppose they made it so you could refine to your station inventory though yet have they?

[weak tinsel]

PTU is testing that afaik

[sonic fiber]

Nice

[dense burrow]

I don't mind refining directly from my mining ship. But being able to STORE locally is gonna be huge

This kinda starts going down the road of leak discussion, bubt what if thisse refinery rework is setting the tables to be able to use refinery ships like the Misc Expanse

[weak tinsel]

Arastra is going to be here sooner afaik
but imo no its just them being lazy and not doing it as soon as cargo refactor came out

[dense burrow]

ah

[weak tinsel]

cuz the store to ship is a relic of how it used to work

[dense burrow]

The ship I feel we need mining wise would be a Argo or maybe a Misc, smal to medium pad, solo ship with a size 2 head and 64scu capacity. that would be absolutely perfection (pilot controlled S2 laser).

ahhh

[weak tinsel]

and tbh i dont see a reason to add a between ship from mole to prospector

[shadow tree]

Is the reclaimer worth it? Im at like 25m Right now and dont know if i should get it next. How much Money can i get with it

[weak tinsel]

solo its hard to manage, money is the exact same a vulture but you have something like 1000SCU storage

[fair lance]

you need are Argo send me a Dm 🙂

[dense burrow]

Ok

[vivid topaz]

Where do you guys go to sell your Contruction materials? and how much do you sell in one go?

[mild pumice]

Check sc trade tools for locations, avoid Orison because there's a lot of people doing the cover-up missions at Yela and it's over supply

[shut elbow]

is hadanite no longer mined with a roc?

[dense burrow]

nope

only by hand

or ATLS Geo in low power mode

I will say it's hard to find it on the surface of a planet now

you're flying along and all of a sudden there's an unknown like 100m in front of you lol

[vivid river]

UEX Corp is also a great place to check

[red peak]

Is mining a good way to get alot of money?

[pearl juniper]

yes, if you enjoy mining

[red peak]

Was looking at getting the golem been doing alot of bounty hunting some fancied a change of pace

[dense burrow]

and rocks just broke again on microtech.... GREAT JOB CIG

[vestal ravine]

We had a great ROC mining session on Ignis in Pyro last night. I am hopeful Stanton mining be patched up okay also.

[dense burrow]

Was supposed to be fixed on that god awful long maintenance yesterday.....

[vestal ravine]

Do you mean Roc mining or the Mole type?

[dense burrow]

planetary mining

mole prospector all of it

it was all broke

they fixed it yesterday then today it's now broke again

[vestal ravine]

So sorry, for this free fly I need a good road test of the Fortune but that's a salvage loop.

[dense burrow]

It's a great ship

I have used mine quite a bit

[dense burrow]

I will say, the Cargo Career armor (Aril Blue) matches the Keystone liveries real nice 😄

[bold flicker]

are there any player-run mining/salvage companies i can join where they pay me to mine and supply the ship and stuff. If not i think its just a cool idea.

[warm totem]

I could be wrong but I think its refine from storage - not refine TO storage which would be awesome. Refining from storage makes all miners open for attack when full as someone could take you out (soft death) then unlock your ports and take your ore - maybe even another prospector. Refining TO storage would be most excellent so we could either hold ore OR take only certain ores to sell at certain locations, which could increase profits.

[warm totem]

nice paint

[past fractal]

You can buy the Aril Blue armor in Orison fairly cheap in game

[nova talon]

so, if quant comes from Q and E astroids most commonly, then what ring should i want?

[past fractal]

Bands are primarily designated based on density, not prevalence. Generally speaking, you want band 5 since it has the highest density of rocks

[nova talon]

thx

[vivid river]

As someone who has a minute intrest in mining ( I'll get to it again once base building is a thing) tf is a band?

[nova talon]

the rings

[vestal ravine]

I want to use the FORTUNE but the free fly hasn't started yet???

[coarse ember]

it has https://robertsspaceindustries.com/en/flyfree

pretty sure you just gotta click fly for free then relog

[vestal ravine]

I didn't relog yet...thanks

[past fractal]

Bands refer to the layers of the Aaron Halo. It is broken up into multiple bands, or rings, of content. Generally speaking, Band 5 tends to be the most populous for mining, as the band density is much higher than any other band.

[dense burrow]

true. I'm a glutton for punishment tho 🤣

Also I think I've figured out a loadout I'm pretty happy with for the Prospector..... Hofstede S1, Reiger C3 as default, and carrying some Surge and Stampede modules for if I come across a gem of a rock, plus my four normal gadgets (boremax optimax sabir and waveshift). Could also carry a FLTR and XTR for cutting inerts down when needed if I have some good stuff but want better filtering on the extraction

I can crack 11-14k rocks relatively easily with that setup, depending on resists.

[pearl juniper]

You may find this useful with that approach, to decide if it's worth getting out to swap modules or use a gadget #industrial-professions message

[floral spindle]

Just mentioning in case someone has not heard, Golem scan/angle is ""working""

Visually you don't get scan angle, heat feedback, or emission values but you can pinpoint/read anyway.

[dense burrow]

yeah it just doesn't tell you numbers

which is annoying af

[dense burrow]

oh thanks haha, I was gonna make that tonight

0% resist calc is laser power divided by 0.2, correct?

[pearl juniper]

Feel free to tear it apart and make it better! If you were going to make your own you probably know show spread sheets well enough to figure out what I did

[dense burrow]

yeah spreadsheets are ez

[pearl juniper]

Yes, .2, or conversely 5x laser power = max mass

[dense burrow]

I'm gonna make one that I can have the lasers, resist modifier, and then put some average rock resists out witht mass and modified resist calcs, and a dropdown for gadgets for that specific rock as well.

[pearl juniper]

Yeah, mine should have all of that in it

[dense burrow]

plus a reference sheet in it for some specific stuff about rocks for more info so I don't have to have 30 tabs open at once LOL

cool I'll check it out

[distant pike]

hi, new here, about a week in the game and trying to use a prospector to mine on planet or in belt but i cannot get the mining laser intensity to change off of 5%, its keybound to mouse wheel but that doesnt change it and alt+mousewheel seems to control my speed, any ideas how i can get it to work?

[dense burrow]

Ooooh I like that sheet that'll def work. I'll add myself a tab for emissions data and maybe some misc info I want but yeah that's spicy

[dense burrow]

it should be scrollwheel. try unbinding it (click on the binding then right click to unbind) and then re-bind it to scrollwheel

IIRC bindings can get funny sometimes if you change things around. In my case I use a mini throttle axis on my right VKB stick for mining power

In fact now that I think of it 99% of what I use in flight minus some turret stuff is all on my sticks lol..........

[distant pike]

tried that and also tried rebinding to keys not even used, and it still doesnt want to work

[pearl juniper]

I think the default is a modifier plus mouse wheel now? If Alt is speed, maybe Ctrl? I didn't know unfortunately, I also have it on a slider on a stick

[dense burrow]

It should be jujst sscrollwheel

I'd try reclaiming the ship again, maybe take the mining head off and put it back on.

also make sure it isn't reading it in reverse for some reason, try shift and scroll wheell, alt, both right and left alt, right/left shift, right/left ctrl

another easy test would be go into scan mode and try there. Scrolling should adjust your scan angle (the lower right semi-arc)

if might not be recognizing something in your mouse wheel

[distant pike]

yeah the scanning works, reset to default and still not working 😦 i just want to try mining lol

[dense burrow]

I remember during one mining session in a ship, it went from scrollwheel to alt and scrollwheel then back

[distant pike]

rented one a few days ago and now the free fly one both have the same issue so im guessing its something with my mouse but scanning works

[dense burrow]

also no way in HELL are you cracking that in a prospector without some major upgrades to the head and some clever stuff.

stock laser stick to below 9k rocks

[dense burrow]

that's a weird one

make sure you don't have any other hardware or mouses/scrollwheels on a gamepad that could be interfering

[distant pike]

i could try to rent a mole and see if that has the same issue, or maybe the little mining car

ive mined out prison a few times now though

[dense burrow]

the ROC should be alt scrollwheel IIRC. Sometimes tho it's just scrollwheel for me

there could be a bug with the bindings right now as well. That's a strange one I haven't come across

[wispy abyss]

Would it work to jettison my mining pods for a cargo ship to pick up and take back to a station to sell? OR is that not implimented in the game yet.

[dense burrow]

did about 5-6 hours tonight with no issues.

[distant pike]

yeah theres nothing on reddit and its driving me nuts trying to get it to work

[dense burrow]

not yet. souunds like maybe next patch that'll work

[wispy abyss]

Ahhh. Gotcha.

[distant pike]

should be able to mine that one right?

[pearl juniper]

That you can pick up without fracturing

[distant pike]

k that worked lol

[pearl juniper]

See the arrow at the top of the HUD? That's telling you to switch modes. Also it's less than 10 SCU, so you can't fracture it again

[dense burrow]

Try cycling your ship's power (keybind U, and do while landed), along with cycling power to your mining laser on the power management HUD screen.

one of those should reset it. But do the mining laser power while out of mining mode after it fully retracts and says "mining mode off"

[distant pike]

no luck on that

so basically i can just pick up rocks less than 10 scu at this point, fracturing just isnt working for some reason since i cant change intensity on the laser

[dense burrow]

are you sure you've tried all of the modifiers for scrollwheel? Left Alt, Right Alt, Crtl, shift, etc

I'd also try bed-logging in the ship and then quit launcher and re-load in.

or go back and claim the ship to reset it.

[distant pike]

ill try bed logging and see, thanks by the way for trying to help

[dense burrow]

you're welcome

[distant pike]

really want to do mining but kinda tough without a laser lol

[dense burrow]

if that doesn't work try claiming the ship. so fly back to the station at a pad (after offloading of course) then go inside and claim at the ASOP terminal

somewthing is wack

[distant pike]

i was worried i was doing something simple wrong lol

[dense burrow]

could also be the Arbor laser is bugged right now, I use the Hofstede S1 with a Reiger C3 module

[distant pike]

can i replace manually on a rental?

[dense burrow]

yes

[distant pike]

i know i cant in the ship management thing

[dense burrow]

on rentals I always thought you could.... hmmmm

that's odd.

I'd try your freefly one as well

[distant pike]

this is my free fly

i did a rental a few days ago

same problem

[dense burrow]

I own mine in game plus have a second as a loaner because of an "issue" per CIG from the mole with mining 😂

interesting

maybe it's the laser then.

[distant pike]

relogging with my manual settings mousewheel up and down fixed it 🙂

[dense burrow]

sweeeet

[distant pike]

instead of the default mouse wheel

[dense burrow]

ahhhhh

well in that case enjoy

[distant pike]

very odd though, thank you all so much i really appreciate it, now i get to mindless mine finally 😄

[dense burrow]

mining is very very very addicting in this game lol

it's all I've done the last 4 nights in a row 😂

[distant pike]

ive been doing hauling for money but saving for that hullc is a rough grind lol

[dense burrow]

I always focus on finding bexalite taranite and some gold (if the rock isn't too much of a b!tch with the charge window even with a gadget), and then refine everything I get (when extracting I look for sub-breaks that have at least 50% of the material first, then 30-40% of it if it doesn't have inert in them

[distant pike]

you recommend mole or prospector to buy?

mostly solo player

[pearl juniper]

I have swapped components on free fly ships via the vlm before

[dense burrow]

If you don't mind running around like a chicken with your head cutoff between pilot seat and laser turrets, the mole can be fun. I use it though mainly in pyro when I'm looking for bigger juicy rocks with stileron/riccite when I'm really on a roll. Normally I use prospector as my core miner though. in a 4-5 hour evening I can haul in 600k easily. (and keep in mind I'm not a quality miner but more of a mixed quantity/quality, I look for rocks with quality but will take fragments with 30% and no inert at times).

sell the next morning/day after refining then do it all over again.

[pearl juniper]

Mole is more profitable, but can be a little tedious solo. Prospector is arguably more fun solo

[dense burrow]

only reason I have a mole is as a pledge CCU chain for the Ironclad

it's a blast solo but you HAVE to be in the mood for it

there's lots of seat swapping, landing/taking off witht gadgets, sometimes changing active modules or entire module loadouts out on your heads for a rock that you can't pass up, etc.

it's very busy running a mole solo. but if that busy is your thing, it can be a blast.

[distant pike]

just cracked my first rock 🙂 how much more can the mole store, only reason id do that as solo is more room for longer runs

[pearl juniper]

One really nice thing about soloing the mole is you can have each head setup for a different purpose

[dense burrow]

in 25 sessions I'll use my golem and prospector for 90% of them, and mole for like 1-2 sessions.

[distant pike]

is golem better than prospector, i hadnt heard of that one yet

shouldnt say better in the game, should know that by now

lol

[dense burrow]

What he said. In my case, I have a heavy breaker head (Helix II with 2 C3's and a focus III, which can swap for surges or stampedes if needed), a normal breaker head (Hofstede S2 with reiger C3 and a torrent III for normal breaks and sub breaks), and a small/delicate/narrow window breaker (Hofstede S2 with a focus III and Torrent III).

[distant pike]

i dont know what half of those words mean lol

[dense burrow]

I have my head setups a bit backwards, I run my helix heavy on tthe left side, with my primary breaker hof on the middle, so it's easier and more efficient. If I'm after heavy rocks mainly though I'll swap the heads.

[dense burrow]

Go watch Eugapole on Youtube. He has a TON of mining videos/tutorials and stuff about solo mole loadouts, and some eyewatering prospector loadouts that'll crack rocks most people wouldn't try to touch without a crew in a mole.

[distant pike]

i will and thank you again!

[dense burrow]

two good websites I aslso recommend are Regolith and RedMonster.

Regolith is nice cause you can look at a ton of various data, save work order info/sessions, and whatnot, and redmonstter is the OG website from the olden days with a ton of still relevant info (he also has a great YT channel with good mining info)

For example, I started this run around 7:00 tonight, and finished up last work order setup at 11:30. I'll sell it tomorrow at NB for probably 640-660k IIRC based on current inflation prices

[distant pike]

thats awesome, thanks again for all the help, glad i can finally give mining a shot!

[last karma]

*elguapoe btw

[regal tide]

I see they fixed the mining bags in 4.1.1 does this mean we will be able to refine or have to store the bags to refine now?

[mild pumice]

I think they're still working on it since it's not been listed in the patch notes, from what I understand refining from bags eats them at the moment but remember PTU is where these things are tested so very much subject to further tweaks

[quartz summit]

ore bags now snap correctly on cargo grid, all of them, in 4.1.1

[wispy abyss]

Yeah but don't they have to be on the mining ship to sell/refine the ore?

I mean...Can you put the full bags into the freight elevator and into your warehouse, and refine it that way?

[spare cloud]

It seems like you can select the local inventory as a source to refine from now. Not sure you can use it as destination tho.

Seems like you can use it as a destination, yes

[pastel sparrow]

Do experienced hauling missions in pyro pay the same as the ones in Stanton?

[weak tinsel]

from what i know hauling in pyro pays more overall

same with bounties

[pastel sparrow]

Bounty’s pay around a 100k more in pyro

So if hauling gets the same bonus it would pay way better then in Stanton

Thank you for the help Mr.Beaver

[weak tinsel]

dont wanna @ but i know Fitzie does haul a lot and i think mostly in pyro

[glass chasm]

Boo! Anyone here with a mole that might be happy to toss me a copy of their bags to exchange with my prospi real quick? have to re-do my bag exchange. 🙂

[glass chasm]

This is all still P(T!!)U though, not applied to PU, yet, right?

[weak tinsel]

ye only ptu for now

[glass chasm]

A pity. That shit needs to get to PU asap lol. Along with a fix for the "stuck on cargo grid" shit. 😄

[mild pumice]

@pastel sparrow the Junior missions in Pyro do pay more, up to 132k but they can be up to 300scu which is a bit much for the small outposts as you have to send them down in multiple loads. There's also multi location missions that pay 94k but they can be 3 locations 50-80gm away from each other so tbh you can earm more stacking missions in Stanton. But it is nice to see other locations and the places you deliver to are based on your affiliation to either CFP or HH.

[pastel sparrow]

Thank you for the information

I think I’ll stick to Stanton

[hollow pewter]

Hi guys, I just started the game, and yesterday I tried doing chain cargo, hauling, and when I delivered multiple packages to the same destination, a few of them weren’t logged. Is this something that happens often? Is there someway to avoid it? Is it a bug? Should I just do one mission at a time to not have that risk? I spent 2/3 of my money renting a ship with bigger cargo space and only made back 1/3 of what I spent. Please help.

[naive vine]

When i buy cargo with the hull C do i have to park at the end station get out press sell and then go back out and use the cargo system to unload it

[weak tinsel]

afaik the cargo missions sometimes brake and idk how or if there is a fix

[mild pumice]

@hollow pewter this seems to be an issue with missions where you pickup from multiple locations and drop off to one, has been an issue since 4.1 I believe. The other way round, pickup from one location and drop to multiple or direct jobs works well 95% of the time!

[naive vine]

Whats the best way to sell at a terminal when its high stock, wait on the main screen for it to change or on the confirmation page?

[plush dove]

should i just mine quantanium

or what should i mine and where?

id like to stick with pyro but i doubt pyro has refineries nearby

[spare cloud]

The three main pyro stations have refineries and you can sell most stuff directly there

[plush dove]

do u know how rare quant is at pyro

[spare cloud]

Check regolith.rocks

[plush dove]

ive only done feyn mining at pyro

igh

ill check when i get back online

[mild violet]

Hello, for moving 8 SCU the hand tractor beam is fine right. But for 16 I need something else?

[vivid river]

Any can move any size but the max lift give great control with high weight but the atlas can lift all weight with extreme ease

[amber marlin]

Is there a way to automatically pickup/unload cargo for hauling missions or do you have to move it by hand?

[mild violet]

for now by hand

[past fractal]

Only the Hull C has auto-loading for now, but it's being worked on for all cargo capable ships eventually

[mild violet]

in future they want to implement the other option as well - which will incur either time or money fee? I guess?

[analog grotto]

Pyro also has Stileron and Riccite which are also S-Tier materials like Quant. Unlike Quant though, they won't make your ship go boom. Generally, Stil sells for a bit more than Quant and Ricc sells for just a bit less.

[plush dove]

i gotta assume these 2 are just as rare?

[analog grotto]

Correct. Looking at Regolith.rocks: most places will have at most 2 of the S-Tiers available. Adir is the only Planet location with all 3 nevermind, multiple locations have all 3, but rates are still generally below 5% for any given S-Tier ore type

All those rates are dependent on miners self-reporting their scans though. Could be lower. Could be higher.

For the best chances of all 3, if doing planet mining, you'll want to look for Felsic, Gneiss, Igneous, or Shale.
Shale may be the best option with its higher rates of Gold and Aluminum too. (Gold sells well and Aluminum is light)

Which makes the Pyro V moons Fairo, Vuur, and Vatra some of your better options if hunting specifically for Shale.

Disclaimer: I am still relatively new to mining. Take everything I say with a grain of salt and explore the regolith database yourself when you have the time.

[hollow pewter]

Thanks Fitzie. I’m just gonna try to stick to doing one at a time, even if it takes longer, for now. Yesterday I lost money, and had little to start with. 😆

[mild pumice]

Stacking missions should still work it's the just the contract that have you collect from multiple places that have the issue

[hollow pewter]

I’ll give that technique a try. What happens if I get down to Zero money? Do i have to delete the game and start over? How does that work

[mild pumice]

You just have to make money again

[hollow pewter]

I have a starter ship only, for now. I dont know how to do “dogfights” yet, so I’m focusing on trying hauling, as I’m just barely getting used to the ship control. Is there some other way other than cargo to make money, for a complete beginner like me?

[mild pumice]

You can go to the free fly page (even if you own the game) and get the free ships for the 2 weeks

Then you'll be able to try salvage, mining, etc or do better hauling missions

[pearl juniper]

Go to Pyro and do the inside the station box delivery missions. Literally 20k payout for walking from one side of the station to the other.

[plush dove]

thats good to know

[plush dove]

i tried mining before but with a solo mole setup instead of a prospector and never made it anywher

[analog grotto]

I'm just a solo Golem miner at the moment which vastly limits what I can crack, so i get it. Working my way towards a Mole with aUEC. Mining was my main jam in EVE Online years ago, so I've been having a lot of fun with the more immersive mining of Star Citizen.

[hollow pewter]

I’ve heard of this free fly. Do I go to some site on a browser or is this something in the actual game. If so, teach me please?

Sorry to be asking so many questions

[mild pumice]

yeah just go to the site and click on 'fly for free' and that should attribute the ships (if you're in game you'll need to log out and back in.)

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/en/flyfree

[hollow pewter]

Awesome! Thanks!!!

[plush dove]

varynais :D

[tough zodiac]

Hello, does anyone knows why when i scan it shows the ping for the rocks but the blue outline doesn't show anymore, also i can't break them or deep scan them for minerals ( this is since yesterday) day before yesterday I was able to mine, now i can't

[analog grotto]

The hotfixes that addressed planet mining recently aren't working across all servers. Can try server hopping to find a shard that has working scans.

If in Stanton, you can also try moving to Pyro. Not a guaranteed fix, but Pyro has generally been more reliable than Stanton

[tough zodiac]

😮

Understood, thank you!!!

[analog grotto]

Would be nice if we could get fixes that stick, but such is the nature of Star Citizen Alpha

[tough zodiac]

I see, so my Mole is currently useless lmao ;-;

[analog grotto]

Can always hit asteroid fields. Those should also be more stable than planets, even in Stanton.

[tough zodiac]

Oh, you're right, I always forget about those, since I rather planet mining, thank you !!!

[analog grotto]

100% agreed on Planet > Asteroid. Cluster sizes on planets are just much more satisfying

Hope you are able to find something that works!

[stray isle]

I wish they would make asteroid clusters similar like ground clusters for mining

at least in the Halo and stuff

[naive vine]

Are planet minables still broken in stanton?

[south basin]

Holy shit the Fortune is straight ass.

It just disappears 60% of the RMC.

Compared to the Vulture.

[distant pike]

mined all day today on celling on the server i was on and now on a new server all the nodes are dead, it is a server issue?

[mild pumice]

First time I used the Fortune it didn't seem too bad but it feels awful since 4.1, I'm definitely melting it if something is with buying in 4.1.1 (certainly by ILW!)

I think the overall nerfs to salvage just make it so slow it's irritating. The Vulture is just about tolerable.

I think salvage has almost crossed the line to 'too slow' and 'not fun' or maybe I'm just bored of it

[mild pumice]

Oof I thought they'd fixed that. Yeah guess that server has issues

[distant pike]

lol i just tried to land to bed log and it shot me into the universe, came back and all was well

[near swallow]

Was watching a video on mining changes in 4.1.1, and I think I realized why Mole/Prospector ore bags snap to cargo grids the way they do: They are supposed to be collapsible, and they're snapping to the grid as if they were collapsed, but they aren't.

[mild pumice]

IIRC it was because the item port was at the top of the bag (snaps to top of ship) but on the freight elevator that snap point meant it was sunk into the floor, if that makes sense

So they've probably moved the snap points on the bags and ships to the bottom instead

To match the elevator platforms

[sonic axle]

does anyone know why my prospector has 0 scu of storage??

[regal tide]

With the upcoming change finally to mining bags are we still going to be able to store the ship and refine it or the actual bags have to be detached and put down in the freight elevator? Also what does this mean for quantum if the bag is detached will it still explode and will there be a timer?

[vivid river]

1st hopfully both

[regal tide]

What happens when we mine quintanium then which bags are we going to know has it inside?

[vivid river]

:3

we pray

:3

[last karma]

Does the timer on quant keep going even if you remove the bag/golem crate? Like if you dropped it off with a hauler do they have a bomb onboard?

[analog grotto]

Quant stops ticking while your ship is stored at least. Need to do a science experiment and wait until there's like a minute left and detach a bag. See if it goes boom

[south basin]

Like a cherry bomb in a toilet. BYE BYE STATION.

[quaint mango]

Been away for a few months, see there's new minables, currently working on some feynmaline. Is it worth it?

[distant pike]

how long can you leave a finished work order in the refinery?

[south basin]

Typically until the next patch.

[distant pike]

no limit on them?

sorry just started mining today and really enjoying it

[tropic flume]

What mining modules are people using on the Golem?

[unkempt cypress]

just got into mining w/ a prospector, what head/modules should i use?

[reef smelt]

is selling cargo in pyro worth the extra profit or is it too risky?

[weak oyster]

this gap on corsair

[weak oyster]

no demand it seems

[wary field]

I kinda just started doing em. Trainee missions are already at 50k a piece and barely any scu. I’d imagine it’ll go up nicely

[main grove]

Do difference ship effect what mineable you see. Been using the Zeus and finding mineables everywhere. No my Corsair is strugglying to find anything on Aberdeen or Daymar.

[gusty kettle]

anyone down to tech me hoe to use the hull c cant do cargo right or somthing

[mild pumice]

You're probably a bit too high off the surface in the Corsair just on account of it being a bigger ship

Get lower and slower!

[main grove]

Been trying low and high

[mild pumice]

Low and slow is the way

If you move too fast you'll miss them

I just go SCM and cruise at 1km and keep tapping the ping

[weak oyster]

ramp broke

[spare cloud]

Which Zeus ?

CL I suppose ?

[main grove]

Yes

[spare cloud]

CL has a buff to detect RS signatures

85% against only 50% for the vast majority of the ships, including the Corsair

[main grove]

Oh damn I better buy it back tomorrow. Melted it and my Raft this morning.

[spare cloud]

A lot of the Industrial ships have RS buff

[main grove]

Was going to just buy a Black in game to haul my Roc or Geo around

[spare cloud]

80% for the SRV, Prospector, Vulture, Fortune
85% for the MOLE and 100% for the MOLE mining stations...

Reclaimer doesn't

And some other weirder ships do too, like Hammerhead, 85% 🤷

[main grove]

Where can I find this info?

[spare cloud]

That's something you can check by ship on !erkul

[jolly dagger]

#DPSCalculator

• Calculator • Shops • Ships • Weapons •

[spare cloud]

Check the Radar

[main grove]

Thanks alot

[mild pumice]

does the ES too? I mean it's supposed to have the better scanner right?

[spare cloud]

Check Erkul. It has better IR/EM/CS, but not better RS

[mild pumice]

okies, I don't really understand the differences so I'll have a read up on it

But if that's the case and it's better for surface mining I'll switch out from running the ES lol

I had just assumed better scanner would detect more stuffs

[spare cloud]

The first three are ship signatures.
RS is cluster signature, mining, salvage, ships... all the RS stuff

[mild violet]

How many SCU can you realistically fit into C1? I managed to get 101 into Corsair, maybe 110 if I tried really hard (trying to compare which one to use for medium contracts)

[spare cloud]

110 is easy enough, 3x32 in the cargo area, and 2x4 + 8 in the rear.
I think you can also stack more 4x containers on top of the 3x32

[mild violet]

okay guess I will try 😄 But tbf the medium missions dont give any advantage over small cargo - i really hope they rework the system, its T0 right now right

Although I am afraid what if they dont change it, since the changes I would imagine are pretty "easy" to do

[knotty dove]

i dislike how hauling missions in 60-350SCU range do not give you 16SCU or 24SCU containers

[mild violet]

I dislike that it goes up in size, which makes no sense

why should "senior" reputation "small" mission have 25 SCU compared to 8-10 for junior / rookie? Like idk... I would think the "senior" small cargo would be something very valuable, not just increased size

[weak oyster]

today managed to do this

[plush dove]

i pressed collect on refineries but i dont see the scu crates

[fallen osprey]

Hey yall, is there any real advantage to having a prospector over a golem?

I mean... the Golems laser is just slightly inferior to the current best (additional 25% resistance). But they carry the same amount of ore, the Golem has 2 pods where the prospector has 4 (faster unloading), and the Golem can fit in a lotta ships.

[fallen osprey]

The are barely worth doing it... you can stack the small ones for 350k a run. Where the medium ones you can only fit 1 and 1 or 2 smalls.

Just less pain unloading lol

(Most cargo hauling doesn't seem worth it tbh)

[fallen osprey]

I can fit exactly 112 SCU into a C1 in 8SCU size boxes.

NOTE: loading / unloading the reat section (between the gate and ramp) can fit 2 8SCU (total 16SCU) boxes but it is a bit more challenging to unload / load those 2

NOTE: this is just about the very max you can hold in the C1 unless you squeeze some into the crew area.

Loading this much into the C1 is still way easier than loading it into a Zues Cl as well.

[lavish marsh]

is there a glitch with transfering cargo from refinery to ships right now? ive lost three full loads

[spare cloud]

Like cargo not appearing ? You just need to store and retrieve your ship until it shows

[glass chasm]

Well.. where to start.

[weak oyster]

this is akward

[glass chasm]

1. the Prospi has interior with bed, so you can bed log during mining whenever, if you have to go or whatever. not a huge deal but underrated.
2. the prospi can cheat the ore pods with the mole ones giving the prospector 80 !! scu capacity over the golem - which pods you cannot exchange.

The Golem is nice and has its place, but tbh more as a dropship for a mining group, to place a few of them into a polaris or the like and then mine as team by stacking filleed pods in the polaris.

[spare cloud]

Up to 96* SCU

[mild violet]

well I had problems with 100 😄 ... since you cant move properly inside then, so I had to play the game of "moving the cubes to make space for me to walk to the doors and open them"

[spare cloud]

You can just use the Open all door keybind

Save yourself some trouble

Open from pilot seat, get into tractor beam, unload

[glass chasm]

How that?

[spare cloud]

The same way

[glass chasm]

Read that a few times but how do you get even more than the 80?

[spare cloud]

But with MOLE bags only

[glass chasm]

I did that...

bought mole bags and exchanged them

[spare cloud]

You bought MOLE bags and switched 4 MISC bags for them, but your 4 other bags were still MISC

[glass chasm]

Ehh o.O

Oh so basically do the first switch, then repair and then exchange the "over-spawned" misc bags with 4 mole bags as well?

[spare cloud]

I think so

[glass chasm]

rubs his chin

Interesting to say the least. 😄

[weak oyster]

the ramp on this gets damaged easily

[fallen osprey]

Use the C1s tractor beam lol. You can't get out but you shouldn't need to after you load.

[fallen osprey]

Also how the heck did you get 100 inside before you had issues moving? Anything above 64SCU and your blocking the exit of the C1.

(NOTE: C1 tractor beam is accessible from copilot seat and you will need to open the exterior from the pilots seat.) But I would always recommend using a ship mounted beam if possible as they are a LOT faster than hand held ones.

[fallen osprey]

I did not know we can get 80SCU pods on the Prospector. That's a lot better than the Golem.

[glass chasm]

Well not officially but through tricks. Yes. That's why, even if they are technically similar, I'd always go for Prospector at this time.

[mild pumice]

Do the tricks still work in PTU with the bags adjustments to fit the freight elevator?

[fallen osprey]

Huh- how do you trick it into doing that lol

[fallen osprey]

Also as far as 1 goes... I don't consider it a plus. It's a feature. But I tried sleeping in space with a Zues CL before... lost the ship. Never tried it again. And realized this is close to pointless. When I end I want it to be with my last load in the refinery.

I mean i guess it's a plus if you REALLY need to go but

Now if we can fit 80SCU of ore into a prospector then fk the Golem.

[glass chasm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WDFDhTVuLU&t=9s

[fallen osprey]

Lol. I hope that's intended

Someone got the latest COvalex contracts that is willing to share me ? You,LL get half of the payment.

[gentle acorn]

I just got the Golem. Do I go mine at Hurston area?

[sonic fiber]

This is freefly just for new people?

[gentle acorn]

Free fly is like a trial for new people to try out the game. Yes.

[sonic fiber]

The ships i mean. I wanted to try a fortune

[mild pumice]

Anyone can try the ships, you just have to go to the website, click the free fly banner and the free fly button

Even if you have the game already

If you're playing you'll need to logout and back in for them to show on the ASOP

[sonic fiber]

Ah ok. They are never very clear

[near swallow]

Those tricks are a bit risky though, by using them you could, in theory lose the money later (or whatever you bought with it) and face a ban, if CIG decides to treat that bug as an exploit. In the worst case, CIG could even do another wipe if they wanted, though this probably isn't that bad yet.

[sullen sentinel]

Lmao ain't nobody catching a ban over that.

[gentle acorn]

You guys talk about how to overfill prospector. Here I am having problems pulling out my mining laser lol

[past fractal]

It's somewhat unlikely anyone will get banned over utilizing more storage since you still have to fill all of that storage normally. However, CIG could decide that it's not how they want it to work, and "fix" it at some point, locking the Prospector at 32 SCU, or 48 SCU with MOLE bags at a time, or might decide they like the increased storage and make 96 SCU standard on the Prospector, thus solidifying it as better than the Golem.

Right now, they haven't really spoken on it, so nobody knows.

[mild violet]

well thats the issue - from pilot seat nor copilot I wasnt able to open exterior - the button didnt appear, even while looking directly at it

but didnt know about the tractor beam, thx

[dull reef]

Mining in the MOLE on lyria. no rock responds to any power put into it. 2 Rieger C3 and stampede on a Helix 2

if anyone knows what im doing wrong please let me know cause at this point i think i wasted 10 mil

[past fractal]

You're not probably doing anything wrong. Try mining in the Halo. Planetary mining in Stanton is bugged. They put a hotfix in, but it broke relatively quickly

[mild pumice]

first time I tried but looks like you can stack multiple Hull C missions, I have two here and both loaded (same locations)

fully unloaded but both were short - CIG Math bad :/

[dull reef]

how do i enter extraction mode? i got it to work but now its not extracting

[past fractal]

Left Alt + Left Click

[dull reef]

ah

okay ty

[past fractal]

Same bind to switch back too

[fallen osprey]

I hope they intended us to put on the 80SCU bags onto the prospector.

Makes it a big step up from the Golem.

And its better for the normal mining when your not group mining.

[fallen osprey]

You need to set it in your keybinds. But it's useful for EVERY ship

So go set that button. Me and a few others use ; as the bind

[fallen osprey]

Yeah the Cutlass black, C1, and zues all have copilot seat tractor beam. (The Taurus has a manned turrent tractor beam (I do not like this at all. Manned tractor beam turrents are dumb)

Note: out of the copilot controlled tractor beam the Zues is the only one which you can open / close the exterior and fly the ship with.

So pick your poison. The C1 has the best grid out of all of em, and the zues is the nicest with the worst cargo grid. The zues grid is complete crap btw.

[vestal ravine]

This afternoon I mined a ROC gem patch on Daymar but 70% done the rest bugged out lol.

[dull reef]

how do i mine rocks with better resistance? like what is the best setup for my mining laser to be able to crack better rocks

[vestal ravine]

Check up on module uses and gadgets for your mining ship. Also the top miners on you tube have suggested loadouts.

[dull reef]

i just need a list to crack quant, i do not want to listen to this Elguapoe dude talk cause he is all i can find for mining loadouts

[vestal ravine]

The pinned section for this channel has some information and I suspect someone will be along with better info. for you...

[fallen osprey]

You need the sabir mining gadget.

[tepid sonnet]

Where is the best place to sell Laranite and Titanium?

[fallen osprey]

They have a bunch gadgets and tbh they make rocks easier to break.

[fallen osprey]

I recommend you save this here link and check for yourself mate

Tin (TIN) - Commodities - UEX

This link...

https://uexcorp.space/commodities/info/name/tin/

[fallen osprey]

Also those ain't worth crap.

[tepid sonnet]

Thx!

[fallen osprey]

Course mate. Happy to help. But seriously save the link. Helps me all the time. Even when figuring out if a rocks worth it.

Btw, if you don't already be sure to have the highest possible laser power.

And carry those gadgets.

[tepid sonnet]

I got 2 Reiger C3s.

[fallen osprey]

I run the one that increases yield (cluster mod) and the impact? (The active mod which increases power.

[fallen osprey]

Also you gotta golem or prospector?

[tepid sonnet]

Golem.

[tepid sonnet]

It was too cheap to passup so I run Reiger C3s to make up for the power loss from Resistance.

What size does NB Accept?

[fallen osprey]

Ah are those the ones which give a passive +15%

To power?

[tepid sonnet]

I think so, yes.

[fallen osprey]

Those are good. You might wanna try the active module.

It gives a bit more power but you need to activate em. And overall 1 rock is an entire module lol

[icy imp]

Should I be able to sell rmc straight off my Fortune to the tdd?

[red sierra]

what percent of cargo do you have to deliver for completion

the last elevator bugged out

[vestal ravine]

I was able to do that but you have to wait for the sale to complete for each type.

[dull reef]

this isnt a thing? or doesnt fit on the MOLE

[pearl juniper]

Sabir is a gadget that you get out and place on the rock

Gadget vs module

[fallen osprey]

Oh boy... I said Gadget. You need to go out of your ship and manually place it on the asteroid. You then need to tune it (which tbh is kinda a pain since your floating around... but cool) and then you can just mine the asteroid as you would normally. They are reusable and the Sabir goes for ~13k. So be sure to retrieve it if possible. (NOTE: On occasion they break)

[fallen osprey]

So it technically doesn't fit on a Mole or any other mining ship. You carry then in your pack. (They take up a good bit of space tho. I recommend you carry 2 or 3 max due to how big the dam things are but you can also keep 1 mounted on the bottom of some packs saving space.

Also I recommend the Sabir because -50% resistance. Tis a lot. But they have others which adjust other properties as well. And they normally have a downside.

Also Only use 1 gadget per asteroid break.

If you try to use 2 one will fall off or not work at all.

(Balancing factor)

[fallen osprey]

For your mole tho you can equip a variety of Modules on each laser as well as swap out your mining laser.

[pearl juniper]

Worth noting that it CAN be a lot on a rock with high resistance, but it will do hardly anything on a rock with low resistance, and nothing on a rock with zero resistance

[dull reef]

do i NEED an active mod?

or can they all be passive?

[pearl juniper]

You can do all passive

[dull reef]

do i want -resistance or +resistance

[pearl juniper]

You may want to play with this #industrial-professions message

It does not have the golum laser in it yet though

[dull reef]

im not gonna be able to focus on that long enough to even understand it, its literally a one or the other question.
Big rock, big resistance, do want -resistance or do want +resistance to break big rock

[past fractal]

Generally speaking, less resistance means the rock cracks with less power.

So the answer is, it depends, because the Helix / Pittman has a minimum output of 20% power, which can sometimes be far too much power for subsequent breaks.

Sometimes, in some cases, you want more resistance.

TL;DR - It depends

[half badge]

Can the Hull C do cargo at the Cru and Hur stations?

[mild pumice]

negative

[weak oyster]

how do i fix the Hull C clicking sound when it tries unloading cargo? freshly claimed ship. not even 30SCU on the damn thing. its pressurized ice - is that stuff just bugged? seraphim. have had other missions complete very quickly and easily.

[half badge]

ok thanks

[plush dove]

would i need a mole for stuff that is hard to break in a prospector?

[spare cloud]

For stuff that's hard to crack, not really.
For stuff that's impossible for Prosp, sure

There are many rocks a Prosp can't break that the MOLE can. And even rocks that a fully crewed MOLE can't break, but that's very rare IME

[weak oyster]

hm the c2 celling today gets crates stuck

[spare cloud]

Always has

[craggy tapir]

Ironclad supremacy

[fallen osprey]

They can all be passive. The active mod that ups power does give a bit of a large increase tho but is a pain in the neck due to it constantly procing.

[fallen osprey]

You want -resistance. Basically resistance makes it harder to break a big rock.

And generally your good asteroids will have a high resistance. Like gold...

[vestal ravine]

Are there any other Fenymaline moons/planets besides Aberdeen in Stanton? Not real cool with Aberdeen.

[gentle acorn]

Does Drake Golem come with everything it needs to start solo mining?

[knotty dove]

yeah but for more dificult rocks you would need gadgets plus modules

[gentle acorn]

Yeah but like fishing. If I start with basic I get more credits and upgrade.

[knotty dove]

yes you can mine with deafult golem just dont pick rocks your deafult laser is to weak to handle

[gentle acorn]

Thanks a lot

[knotty dove]

one very good thing about golem: its nearly as good as prospector and its very small

[gentle acorn]

What are the default keybinds for mining mode and stuff? It doesnt work. Game says M to toggle mining mode. It does not work 😄

[knotty dove]

are you in SCM mode?

[gentle acorn]

Whats that?

I mean how to switch to it

[knotty dove]

B you need to be in NAV mode to quantum jump and in SCM for fighting/mining,...

[gentle acorn]

I now am in SCM. But M does nothing. It's a stock Golem and I already broke it

[knotty dove]

[gray canyon]

Is anyone also a problem during hauling that the cargo goes into your personal inventory in the warehouse elevator instead of getting added into the contract?

I've failed quite a few deliveries this way already

[mild violet]

where to set keybind to get into turret view in C1?

like lmao, i am scouring through 10000 bindings but cant see it

hm, managed to set it up

but didnt help as the turret refuses to work anyway

gonna do it by hand since idk what to do - the ship has power on, engines on, but turret claims no power

[analog grotto]

Tractor beams have their own power setting in the power management screen. They are unpowered by default (at least on the Cutlass Black it was)

[vestal ravine]

I printed 12 of 13 in the Fortune now it's blocked and bugged collecting new material. What gives?

[ivory fractal]

Grinding through covalex member rank for the hull c contracts is absolutely brutal— does anyone have any tips or tricks to speed this up

[mild violet]

thats how its supposed to be

dont worry in final game it will surely be even worse

[ivory fractal]

That’s what I feared

[vestal ravine]

Fortune opinion: Everything is great about it except the pickup speed of the laser. If they make it on par with the Vulture's I would consider a purchase. I took it out to try and load up the interior to top out at 48 crates but getting the crates through the 2 doors is a huge hassel and blocks moving through the ship. The buffer glitch I had was not intended, I took one off the rack but the glitch remained. Back at base I could print no 13 when the rest were unloaded. Anyway the Vulture beats the hell out of this ship and its a lot easier stuffing to 36 crates.

They haven't yet been reworked to work with server meshing

So you don't

[leaden monolith]

To set a keybind for entering a remote turret go to Options>Keybinds>Advanced>Vehicles - Seat and Operator modes and scroll to the bottom of that list. There you'll find the option to set keybinds for remote turrets.

To get the darn thing to deploy or retract once you're in the turret press "S". Also to toggle between VJoy and FPS modes for the turret press "Q". That one is personal preference but I find FPS mode to be a much better mode to operate the tractor.

[hallow lark]

So they took out maintenance contracts?

[mild pumice]

Do you mean the ones where you remove waste or whatever?

They still (along with a number of other contracts) haven't been refactored yet to work with server meshing.

There's still a maintenance job occasionally to repair comms when they go down and there's a number of missions returning in 4.1.1 (still TBC)

[umbral stratus]

Any way to scan a ore/rock? or am i dumb..

[frank warren]

Looking to get into mining again after being away for some long and right now we have the prospector from Free Fly. These are the two builds I have made. Which one would be overall better? or are there some new items that would be better then theses.

[spare cloud]

Helix[Rieger, Surge] IMO

[frank warren]

That is what I went with at the end of the day

[heavy ocean]

Ive done it with C2 and Missionstacking in Everus Harbor... now i got a Hull C.
Now my dreams are broken because the tons of Bugs with Hull C. Broken Missions, broken autoload broken Shipspawn, broken bedlog.. ill let the Hull C at the Hangar an and try again after next patch.. 😦

[mild pumice]

For Member rank go to Port Tressler, there are 6 missions paying around 90k each take 1 of each for a different metal, they go to the same 3 locations, 2 DCs and NB, stack all 6 and head out, you'll need a freelancer max or Corsair ideally, should also be able squeeze them in a C1 or Zoos CL. Should take under 1hr to complete them and will give you 6 missions worth of rep!

You could also do them in a Caterpillar and take advantage of the compartments to sort the load and use the hangars at the DCs.

[raw elbow]

Right, i tried Salvaging, its calm and simple, but im going to try a bit mining with the prospector, any recommendations?

[mild violet]

yup

[dull reef]

this strong enough to mine quant?

[dull reef]

how do i turn this on?

[leaden monolith]

They're passive modules so once the mining laser is on they're on.

[dull reef]

top one is active

[leaden monolith]

ooops sorry. it'll be LALT-1 for actives it's LALT - number of the slot it's in

[dull reef]

cool thanks

sweet so i did waste 10 mil

[sonic fiber]

Well now that I've tried the fortune yeah it's lame. Fine for a starter but will need to be priced appropriately

[vestal ravine]

As I was suggesting earlier the laser needs to be equal with the Vulture.

[mild pumice]

Originally it didn't feel too bad but we've had 2 salvage nerfs since and it's become unbearably slow. Even the Vulture feels borderline frustrating now. They definitely know how to suck the fun out of things in the name of balance

I'm dreading the next tractor beam nerf because I still enjoy haulage lol

[sonic fiber]

I'm fine with it being a entry level and future medium.

Vulture

Retriever large

I would boost the vulture capacity

[night stone]

New player questions was locked and it has taken me here. Dedicated industrial proffesions channel? W

[mild pumice]

A medium 2 person Argo salvage ship would be nice

Use that RAFT cargo grid

[sonic fiber]

I definitely wouldn't spend Millions on a fortune, but something like 500K Maybe

[night stone]

With the 60scu i could make quite the chunch of moolah from doing multiple hauling quests at once.. although.

Im just concerned about moving the crates. Is there any way to move them other than the tractor beam thats equippable on your person?

[mild pumice]

Ship tractor beams and the ATLS

[umbral stratus]

Any suggestion on what processing method I should use?

[spare cloud]

From cheapest and slowest to more expensive and faster.
Dinyx
Ferron
Pyro
No real reason to go with Pyro, time gained over Ferron isn't worth how much more it can cost.
Check regolith.rocks

[umbral stratus]

Would gaskin be alright?

1h5m

over 4hours

it has a mod yield but also high speed

[spare cloud]

The three I named are best because of the yield

You'll be losing a lot more materials with the others

[umbral stratus]

ohh okay

so i should just wait the what?

5 hours

I dont have to sit here with it do i?

[vestal ravine]

You can log it keeps refining...

[spare cloud]

Once you set the order, you can go back mining and make more orders

Stack many orders and collect them all at once

I really recommend against Pyrometric.
15k aUEC for 10 SCU of Titanium and 10 more of Agricium, that's like 50% of the money you'll make selling this order once refined

[sonic fiber]

Always dinyx. No real benefit in speed

[spare cloud]

My way

I understand Ferron and could use it myself, but Pyro ? Nah wild stuff

[umbral stratus]

I just did pyro for my first time😭😭

I mixed it up with gettin

Ferron *

[umbral stratus]

Where do I take the other ore

Inert

[warm totem]

Heres what I use - pretty nice rock cracker!

[frank warren]

Do you know what it means by extract power? Is that just how fast or slow it can scope ore up?

[warm totem]

Yep - that speed to me is not a bother

[frank warren]

Yeah, I am fine losing that

Gonna be upping my storage on the prospector here in a second to 64scu

64 or 90, depends if I can get ore pods or not

[warm totem]

I got my bags up to 80SCU I can carry - the only problem with that is like a 67hr wait to refine, LOL

[frank warren]

Fine by me lol

Im good for waiting if I can stay out longer

[warm totem]

Yeah but so far I cant say its totally worth it. What happens is you find 3-4 scu of quantanium and your not even close to full so you have to start watching that clock and just nab what you can

[frank warren]

I never find quant lol

But I also don't go out looking for it

If I see it, Ill grab it

But its normally rocks I can't break anyways

[warm totem]

I find it fairly regularly, the other night I found 11+ scu quant rock got a full 10 once refined!

Just reemmber the wave shift will get into much bigger rocks - just because they say impossible doesnt mean they are

[frank warren]

Yeah, broke a 17k mass rock today

Took sometime, but I was able to crack it, even tho it said impossible

[warm totem]

Ok, glad to hear it - sounds like you've got this!

[frank warren]

Yeah, used to do mining back in 3.24

But then I kinda stopped playing jjust before 4.0 because of bugs

My main game loop is salvage tho

[warm totem]

Still hoping they will let us collect to storage in the next patch - I know they are opening up refine from storage but that just makes all miners targets for pirates

[frank warren]

If I remember right, we can send the job to the station after its done

Instead of a cargo ship

[warm totem]

can only send to ship right now afaik

[frank warren]

Sorry, in the version we are playing, yeah, we can only send to ships/ But I believe the next update lets us send to station

Unless I am miss remembering the video I watched

[warm totem]

that would be perfect - I dont lose much just going to orison but would like options on what I am hauling where

[frank warren]

Yeah, if I remember right in the PTU. You can put pods into storage and have them processed from there instead of the mining ship itself. (Though there is a bug that it consumes the pods if you do that) then once the job it done, you can send it to the station you are at or to a cargo ship

Any good places to mine in Station with a Prospector? Been going to Yela

[hardy mesa]

i like mining in the Aaron belt

[humble merlin]

Yela is a pretty good place

Cellin if you want a change of scenary with a higher chance at Quantanium

[hardy mesa]

lyria is also a good place

[frank warren]

Okay

[mild violet]

Yall think Golem is worth it? As CCU from LTI referral bike

[hardy mesa]

i like the golem if you dont have a miner its the best imo for the price

[mild violet]

I mean I dont even know if I will like mining, but considering I have 2 LTI referral bikes, I might as well upgrade to Golem (or C8R)

[lunar geyser]

Trying to sell some cmat and seems like I should be able to #helpdesk message
But I cant

[frank warren]

Which area are you selling them at? The Admin or TTD/TDD (Can't remember which one it is called lol)

One accepts them and the other doesnt

I also think one accepts RMC and one accepts CM. Or one only accepts both and the other doesn't accept either

[lunar geyser]

Ahh, I was at the admin, I'll check the other - whoops 😅

[frank warren]

Can't fully remember

WE FOUND QAUNT

Only 10scu into my run tho

So that kinda sucks

[frank warren]

So, with my current setup. 17k maybe 18k is the max without and moduels added onto the rock

Not bad for all passive mods I think

[median anvil]

made a lil test website to help with cargo hauling 😄 still WIP

[mild violet]

meanwhile my way of tracking cargo hauling

also glad windows decided to set Fahrenheit (made up american bs)

[frank warren]

Nice

[humble merlin]

Funny thing about that, it came from Germany

[warm totem]

65 hours to refine - ridiculous yall - seems like refinery times should be better than that! I mean come ON - I can do 3 32 scu orders at teh same time all running at about 24 hrs - but turn in one order for 80 scu and wow gotta wait 3 days

stupid

I am getting some nice quant orders going but either way, the refinery times should be adjusted in a more staggered method - maybe break it up? no order should take that long when you can run 3 concurrent runs in less time

[mild violet]

It just works

[median anvil]

better way i found with google spreedsheets this my old one i could get the website up and working but not sure if its worth the money lol

[warm totem]

The issue is more perverse when the facility os over burdened - looks like lots of miners are afoot in stanton!

[regal tide]

Is the Starfarer spaceborne gases and refine them for use without landing. is this Gas mining still going to be in the game? I thought quantum was suppose to be in gas clouds now in rocks is that going to get changed

[last karma]

what all does golem fit in?

[knotty dove]

C2,M2,A2 and Polaris

[spare cloud]

890J surely too, and Carrack with landing gears raised.

[main grove]

Where can you sell roc mineables In Pyro. I heard you can't is this true?

TDD in A18 doesnt recognize cargo in my warehouse, but it does in Starlancer cargo:

any tip?

[weak oyster]

i need to grab the refined ore i left in pyro

[austere fjord]

Where would y'all recommend a 2 man mole crew mine in Pyro. I've looked at charts but its pretty hard to decipher that into where to actually go

watch for atmo - it can be tricky in a brick

[random widget]

So I’m new to mining I’ve been mining in Pyro and refining at checkmate what’s my best option for selling refined ore like quant stil ricc and tarinite

I just started but have been on the moon adir

[vestal ravine]

Ignis has some good Mole rocks I am heading there for the Gems...

Where’s my best option to sell refined ore in pyro like quant still ricc tarinite

I’m refining at checkmate right now

[warm totem]

uexcorp.space check there for prices,etc. another great place is regolith - never mine alone!

[vestal ravine]

Is it Checkmate that can park a Polaris? I'm going to Pyro for some gem mining...

[spare cloud]

All of three main stations

[random widget]

Okay cool ty and yeah I need more ppl to Mine with just has been me and one of my irl homies using the prospects

[warm totem]

If you keep looking around you'll eventually find groups of people who not only enjoy mining they take it to the next level!

[random widget]

Yeah bc seems like there’s good money in it and it’s just chilled back witch is nice

[warm totem]

I don't do it for the money - I treat it more like a fishing trip, full of mystery, location scouting, and a bit of luck - you never know when you'll find that big quantanium rock -that you can barely crack, but with patience and skill you land it and make it back in time before you blow up.

[random widget]

Haha feel that idk im new so im looking for money but also fun but yeah I know thats right i found a 50000 mass rock 48% quant we used 3prospects and ended up blowing it up bc someone was backed up to much then moved in quick lol

I did the exec hangars once so far got a free ship now I’m trying to make some money and explore other aspects of the game

[slate spruce]

Gathering ideas and common practice tips - Let's say I wanted to trade with another player, refined resources for cash. How would you approach it, to make sure that it's fair and reasonably secure for both parties?

Following this bc I have a fuck ton of refined resources waiting to sell

[umbral stratus]

Following as well, just came in here to say that😭🔥, or even just trying to find out how to sell it in general/get it in my ship to collect

[random widget]

😂 hell yeah yo anyone who wants a team to Mine with add me please would love to get a more people to work with

I was finna get on, shoot me a friend request, getting a water and I’ll be on

I’m workin rn so won’t be on till later but I’m down

[sullen rain]

What is the max amount of commodity cargo you can hold in a planet inventory? I've already noticed you can overpack

[spare cloud]

It's only a limit when buying

Don't think there's an actual limit to how much you can store using the freight elevator

[vestal ravine]

On like Cru L1 I reached maximum but I know Orison has a lot more.

[sullen rain]

Oh okay, yeah because I pack on the pounds with construction mats and I just wanted to know if I'm concerned to running out of room haha

After it hits the max displayed on the terminal, you can not send bought fps items to planet inventory which kinda blows

[umbral stratus]

How would I go about getting my already refined Ore and collect onto a ship to go sell?

[stray isle]

Sent a friend request. Our group does big mining expeditions and all things industrial

[random widget]

You go to the refinery deck and the the tablet you started the refining on and then select the ship you want it to go into

[spare cloud]

You need a cargo ship to collect the ores and transport them to somewhere you can sell them

[random widget]

Okay sweet added !

[umbral stratus]

oh amazing

[naive vine]

How do u sell vehicle minables from the GEO, do i store the box in a frieght elevator?

[slate spruce]

Yeah, precisely my situation. Since some materials like quant are needed for quests from Wikelo, there are players buying them for higher price than you'd get in TDD. So the question is, how to do a transaction fair and square? Meet in buyer's hangar, summon cargo, get money? Meet at outpost? Slow drip-exchange of smaller quantities or fast bulk?

[untold rapids]

I mostly trade items and weapons but normally

meet in your/their hanger
equip item/bring up ship to show you have the goods
they send cash
you give the goods

[umbral stratus]

Out of these what do you suggest?

The corsair holds more but im not sure if there is more to it

[spare cloud]

Any, they have roughly the same capacity

[untold rapids]

Corsair because bigger cargo grid

[spare cloud]

If you're using a default Prospector, you'll be carrying two refinery orders anyway, no more

[untold rapids]

Unless you're trading to an outpost and might need the inbuilt tractor beam

[spare cloud]

Corsair or C1

[umbral stratus]

I wouldnt let me put it in the prospector

[spare cloud]

Yes, you need a cargo ship

Prospector isn't one

[untold rapids]

As in refinery jobs generated by a prospector mining

[spare cloud]

What I am saying is, the prospector has 32 SCU of storage.
Two loads make 64.
Three 96.

So you will be able to carry the same amount with C1 or Corsair.

[untold rapids]

They'll never be big enough to overfill either ship

[spare cloud]

C1 has a tractor beam, very convenient. Use that

[slate spruce]

Great, thx. Good to know the usual level of trust in the community.

[untold rapids]

There's not that much, bring a gun and bring a friend

[umbral stratus]

Thank you so much! for everything, i know ive asked a lot of questions.. I just really enjoy the game when it works and im wanting to make sure I am getting as much info as i can!

[umbral stratus]

Is there a ship list for mining?

[spare cloud]

Golem, Prospector, MOLE.

That's the list

[umbral stratus]

And is Mole the one with the radar problems rn?

[spare cloud]

The Golem is

[umbral stratus]

It holds 32 SCU right?

Anyway to like upgrade that i guess?

[spare cloud]

Can't upgrade the Golem storage capacity

[umbral stratus]

damn

[crisp wren]

any advice for a new player who has the Golem. should i just try doing other missions as the scanning isnt working ?

[umbral stratus]

Can’t find the price of the MOLE, would you know?

[naive vine]

ingame its like 8-9mil

[umbral stratus]

oh fuck 😭

[naive vine]

prospector is like 2-3 i believe

This i find is better for prices

[spare cloud]

It's not different for ships, worse for components and better for everything else that doesn't exist on erkul.

[umbral stratus]

Okay thank you guys

Last question, is there a website to find where is the best place to Ship-Mine at?

I have been going to yela's belt but if there is a better place

[naive vine]

https://regolith.rocks

This a really good mining website

gives u all the info u need and lets u track ur refinery orders

also lets u plug in the info of a rock and will tell u the approx sell price

[umbral stratus]

So, do I want to look for quantanium?

[naive vine]

If in stanton yeah

[umbral stratus]

Okay, so i'd go to the place that has the highest % for that

[naive vine]

Yeah if u want to properly min/max ur mining but if ur just starting out id just focus on getting a hang of the whole loop

[random widget]

I just need to get the selling part down and I’m good I’ve been refining at checkmate and mining on a moon called adir pulled a shit ton of quant stileron and ricc

[naive vine]

Mining in 4.1.1 will be so much better now that u can refine straight from the bags

[random widget]

Fr fr

When will that happen

I love it though just a peaceful way to make money chill listen to music make friends

[gentle acorn]

Is surface mining broken ?

[random widget]

That’s the only type I do

[gentle acorn]

thanks

[analog grotto]

The answer to this for Stanton is "It depends". CIG hotfixed surface mineables last week but some severs still seem to have issues with the mineables rendering but not being interactable. So try server hopping if you are unable to scan rocks.
Pyro has generally been more stable, but also isn't 100%.

[random widget]

Yeah I’ve been in pyro haven’t had any issues just yet but also haven’t been doing it very long few days

[gentle acorn]

On Yela I've had deposits that cannot be scanned

[grand trellis]

did ground mining get fixed yet or is it still buggy

[random widget]

In pyro it’s working for me

[ocean juniper]

I have a question with FPS mining. How do I get the multi tool to scan the nodes?

[vestal ravine]

For ROC mining I'm one out of 3 on Daymar and 3 out of 4 on Aberdeen.

[ocean juniper]

I was using the handtool while killing cave Korps. I wasn't able to scan or mine anything

[obtuse sierra]

any recommendations for an easy to load hauling ship with more space than the taurus?

C2 was too big to effectively face its ramp towards freight elevators. taurus beam is nice but I'm using it less now and now that I'm on member missions its limited space makes sorting trickier

[knotty dove]

RAFT in 4.1.1

[obtuse sierra]

I read raft can only carry 3 boxes? Is that still true?

oh in 4.1.1. its getting changes?

[knotty dove]

yes it can carry 192SCU

[obtuse sierra]

just normal cargo grid style? nice

[knotty dove]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v67wp8xTv_s

[fallen osprey]

Except atm the bags disappear if you do that .. meaning if you gave a golem it's gonna cost an additional 50k a load or so...

So it's not really economical to do so... at least yet.

For the Golem at least. The prospector bags maybe different

51k a load for the Golem. (32SCU or ore)

21k x 4 =~85k for a prospector outfitted with Mole bags. (48SCU ore)

And... 15.5k x 4 if using a prospector with OG bags. =~62k for 32SCU.

[cedar marsh]

how on earth do you get 80SCU on a Prospector lol

I have only gotten it to 48 with mole bags

[fallen osprey]

Remove the OG bags and Frisbees and place mole bags. (I thought mole bags held 20scu each?)

[cedar marsh]

Mole Bags, unless it has changed, are 12 SCU?

Because my Mole doesn't hold 160 SCU

it holds 96

if you could glitch 4 mole bags and 4 Prospector bags onto it then you'd get 80 scu (32 + 48)

but that requires glitching

unless there's a legit way

Ah yeah, requires a glitch repair method.

[vivid river]

Wheres the reclaimer rework then T^T

[near swallow]

What they did with the Raft is a minor change compared to the kind of rework the Reclaimer needs. Also, not all of the features the Reclaimer is supposed to have exist in game yet, so they might not want to do a big rework on it, only to have to rework it again later. Unfortunately.

[fallen osprey]

I was misinformed. Those are in fact only 12SCU pods. But that is not good for economics...

So if you mine out of a C2 with the Golem it's an additional 1.6k per SCU.

If it's a ship using Mole bags its an additional 1.75k per SCU. And using prospector bags 1.94k per SCU...

Freaking horrible.

So yeah totally so much better. (Seriously you still should be going back to your ship every load you sell)

[random widget]

whats the best laser load out for a prospect and where do you buy mining gadgets to put on rocks

[vivid river]

yeaaaaaa, i know ;-;

[past fractal]

Best laser loadout depends on what you want to mine, and gadgets can be found at Refineries.

Personally, I use the Helix, with optimal window and extra power mods, and a gadget for additional window if needed, but that's rare, since I can usually finesse the laser to within 1%.

I also carry negative resistance gadgets, and stability gadgets

[random widget]

yeah bc right now i know i have 2 mods on that people helped me with one is the rieger c3 but i just need more power i can only crack like 10k mass rocks

[past fractal]

Negative resistance is what you need then (it's called the Sabir gadget)

[random widget]

can i buy that at checkmate ?

i just got the gadget there

[past fractal]

It can make higher mass rocks weaker to lower power lasers

I don't remember, check cstone for their Universal Item Finder.

[random widget]

you should load up and help me out XD

really need to figure out the selling aspect i got a bunch refined at checkmate

[past fractal]

Currently at my child's school for pickup, or I would

[random widget]

all good im going to add you on here lmk next time you want to mine could use some help

[past fractal]

Yeah, no prob. I have literal tutorial documents for mining in all 3 formats, gadgets, modules, heads, tools, you name it. I love mining

going to need that ahah and same its fun relaxing and seems like it makes good money

That's all I need to know lol

[mild violet]

do you think we will get "intersystem" cargo missions soon? As in, Pyro gateway -> stanton gateway or something like that? Would be cool

(cant wait to drop half the cargo in my hull A while I touch the jump point edge)

[fallen osprey]

COme trhe fk on

I just lost like 24 SCU of gold... because my spirit decided to die when it was called up

So I am not to happy about that

fkin 150k in gold just burned in flames

[median anvil]

best place for quant mining?

[analog grotto]

Cellin if Stanton planet mineables work?
Terminus in Pyro otherwise?

Can check Regolith.rocks, look at the %s and weigh the pros/cons of the various sub S-Tier materials for each location based on your setup (rock mass, resistance, instability, ore density, etc)

[frank warren]

Did you by any chance call your ship up outside your hanger and then went to your hanger?

Been having problems with calling ships outside of my hanger and then going down to my hanger. They tend to glitch out a lot

[warm totem]

Same - in fact if thsi happens do not claim it - log off and log back in go to your hanger and call it again. If you do not have a hangar -retrieve your ship and THEN store it - you'll have your hangar (this is also useful in the event you have a small hangar but need a medium) so then go to your hangar and call your ship from there - it's gone be alright!

[frank warren]

Once it goes wonky. I normally just leave it and go back up and the hanger will send it back into storage

Then I just go back down and call it inside the hanger itself

[warm totem]

yep yep

[fallen osprey]

I did do that as I always have.

[frank warren]

Because my default hanger is a small. I have to call in a bigger ship for the bigger hangers

Then they bug out what what not, so gotta go up and down a few times

[fallen osprey]

That would have been the big brain thing to do

[frank warren]

oof

Well

[warm totem]

for some reason the "lobby" is not your friend, lol. You'll notice the first thing that happens when you enter your hangar is that its coming up out of the floor - let that happen before calling a ship

[frank warren]

Just lost all my mining stuff I guess?

Moved stuff to the corsair and called it up and boom

Nothing

[warm totem]

no worries send her back down she will come back up with it

[frank warren]

Thats what Im ding right now to see

Cant wait to just send right to the station

[warm totem]

had the same thing happen to me - in fact I flew to orison without it went back sent it back down and called it back up with the cargo in it, lol

[frank warren]

Also, love adding people in this game. Can get into servers with less than 100 people

There we go

Would love to do more in this game. But being on a laptop with a RTX2060 Mobile. Is very limiting

[warm totem]

hmm, define "good" - I think its a bit of luck and knowing how much time and fuel you got before the ship goes boom - feather the distance at what rate is about the hardest thing to learn. What are you mining in again, Tiaoz?

[frank warren]

Prospector from Free Fly

Running 2 C3 mods on it

Sometime Ill swap one for a Focus 3

[warm totem]

you carrying seom gadgets too?

[frank warren]

Yeah

[warm totem]

well then your an expert! LOL

[frank warren]

When it comes to mining itself. I can mine with only a small sliver of charge window lol

But its just finding good rocks and determining if a rock is worth cracking open

Though I did do the trick to get the prospector to 64scu of cargo room

So its not as bad

[warm totem]

I just try to always hit taranite and quant - the other stuff all pays too - I say why not and just refine it all

You shoudl be able to get it to 80

[frank warren]

I need Argo bags

[warm totem]

but as I have said before get ready for LONG refine times!

[frank warren]

But that requiers me to get a atlas as they are buggy

[warm totem]

you can do it with the large tractor beam tho

dont need the atlas

[frank warren]

Oh

Thought it had to be a atlas

[warm totem]

no, its tricky though to get the bags up on the cargo elevator tho

[frank warren]

That is what I was gonna use the Atlas for

Atlas and a 2scu container

[warm totem]

64 is good tho I am considering going back down anyways - the refine times are rediculous when you could have 3 orders done (96scu) in 24 hours rather than 68 hours for 80scu refined

[frank warren]

Yeah

I'm finally going back to work after been off for 2.5 years. So it wouldn't bug me too much

I have 4 days I can wait lol

[warm totem]

also you probably shoudlnt be refining at CRUl1 anyways the bonuses are total trash there and take away from your order for themost part

[frank warren]

True

I just picked it as it was the first one i found near me lol

But I should prob look at the %'s next time

For what I mine the most of, ARC L4 is my best place

[warm totem]

for taranite yes but otehr than that my go to place is Arc L2

[frank warren]

Yeah

Also a good place

Would honestly like if I could get a ship to store the Prospector in and then just store a shit ton of ore bags on the ship. Just keep mining for a long time lol

[warm totem]

Polaris...

[frank warren]

Yeah...

[warm totem]

might as well add in a nomad with a ROC in it

[frank warren]

I have a Mustang

That is all the money I will ever spend in this game lol

And from what others say, it takes ages to earn it in game from whatever the dudes name is

[sonic fiber]

I have an aurora and that's all I'll ever spend till game is official

[warm totem]

money (my wife watches it like a hawk, lol) is my only restraint in SC

[frank warren]

I'm in Canada and it costed me 70-75 to get into the game

Reason why I won't spend anymore

plus its fun to work your way up

And at some point everyship or 95% of ships will be buyable in-game

[sonic fiber]

But furious when they wipe it

[frank warren]

My go to route for starting is Merc work until I can rent a cutty and roc, then ROC mining until I either save up for a Vulture or have enough funds to support a prospector rental and refining costs

And then from there, whatever I want
