industrial-professions

[narrow hare]

True, guess it's time to get one

[toxic ice]

Is it common to load aut from the refinery to a raft, and when that raft comes up, its empty?

[narrow hare]

Polaris also has a tractor beam. I planned on just stocking up around 500 scu in my polaris

[keen garden]

more or less

it's common for objects on a ships grid to be invisible sometimes

sending it down and back up might fix it, but another common bug is items stacking on grid when you auto-load them

generally best to just not

[toxic ice]

I stored the raft, logged out, logged back in and it was on the raft

[quartz marten]

salavaging bugged? Everytime I scrap a ship, my internal depot storage showes 0 and I cannot make any boxes

[narrow hare]

I know when you move one, they all start spilling out of the one spot, what if you just leave them be and take off?

[keen garden]

doesn't make it any worse

if you're selling at the destination i think that's where you'll have the least trouble

you just never touch it on the grid

[narrow hare]

My plan was to just keep dumping loads at the refinery and haul a few hundred scu of ore using the auto load/unload, but I don't want to manually move that many boxes, haha

[keen garden]

yea, that's kinda the downside of this new system

so many 1scu boxes

least work option would be to refine everything at once place and just buy a fabricator there

levski, or mic-l5 or mic-l2

[narrow hare]

I know the fab can craft stuff, but rn I'm just trying to mine for profit.

[keen garden]

for profit, probabl levski?

has decent prices for most things

and it's refinery is great for everything except savrilium and torite

[quartz marten]

salavaging bugged? Everytime I scrap a ship, my internal depot storage showes 0 and I cannot make any boxes

[narrow hare]

I'm brand new into mining, but I've just been mining around MT and it's moons, and refining at MIC-L1

I still need to figure out exactly how to use the ping to differentiate gems from ore

[keen garden]

anything above, like, 30k, is gems

rock numbers are usualy pretty messy

if you see a messy big number, it's probably two deposites

you can also preview what something is from far away

with a narrow band scan

[narrow hare]

30k RS? Interesting, okay

[quartz marten]

SALAVAGING FUCKING BUGGED OR NOT?

[narrow hare]

No clue man, I don't salvage

[keen garden]

just a noob miner

[dreamy scaffold]

Best place to refine in pyro?

[keen garden]

they're all the same

[dreamy scaffold]

Oh really thanks for the info

[keen garden]

but uh, if you want to upgrade your scanning process, here's what I use:

Mining Frequency Targets:
Tungsten: 3870, 7740, 11610, 15480, 19350, 23220, 27090
Aslarite: 3840, 7680, 11520, 15360, 19200, 23040, 26880
Stileron: 3185, 6370, 9555, 12740

I'll set out with a known set of frequencies for the specific things i'm looking for, and now i can just look for these numbers from 10km up

[dreamy scaffold]

Also what site do yall use for mining now? Since regolith is closing down

[keen garden]

or.... 8km

i'm currently collecting my own data in a spreadsheet, and just taking screenshots of work orders

i refine all over the place, so knowing where a given order was placed is... kinda important

[dreamy scaffold]

Makes sense

[keen garden]

at least, i'm using that strategy going forward, after having to fly around looking for orders this morning

[narrow hare]

That do be me

Can you complete the new missions for BPs in Nyx?

[keen garden]

the rockbreaker one yea

just need shubin rep

[narrow hare]

Suppose it's time to head to nyx

I prefer the blue over the green anyway

Beating a dead horse, but I miss the old sky box

[keen garden]

i never saw it, started playin last may

[narrow hare]

It was dark, not nearly as colorful/cloudy.

[whole fable]

you guys notice that the private rockbreaker missions have better quality than the public?

[iron gorge]

Can someone give me a good Prospector/Golem loadout. Or even a Mole if it is more efficient?

[agile oyster]

This has all the mining info and crafting info

https://scmdb.net/?page=mine

[narrow hare]

high quality Ice have a good use or just sell?

[regal tide]

I had my mining ship in my Carrack'n and while warping it Vanished how do I get it back?

[spare cloud]

Find it on the starmap and QT to it, or claim it.

[regal tide]

Thing is I had ore on it but I'm trying to recover and I'm hoping that the ship since it wasn't destroyed will spawn back at the station

[spare cloud]

It's where you "left" it

[regal tide]

I didn't actually leave it anywhere it was in The Hanger of my Carrack while in QT it vanished.

[spare cloud]

That's why it's in quotes...

[trail vector]

Is quality really better in pyro?

[glass dust]

What is good mole set up for crew of 3 in 4.7?

[heady quail]

New to mining. Is there a way to speed the process up? Breaking a rock seems to take very long. I stay in the green, and still. I think I'm missing something. I use stock equipment. Is that it?

Also, what are those gadget tablet thing? There's a specific inventory slot for it now

[unique ridge]

you need to buy better mining lasers, modules for the lasers, and gadgets to put on the rocks you want to break, you should probably watch some videos on how to mine

[sleek bridge]

So ores with quality above 850 is the best, but what about quant? Should I pickup 300 400 quality quant too?

And what happens if the timer runs out when I have it in my cargo?

[long grail]

whats the best place in stanton for hadanite?

[long grail]

ngl idk. got my best stuff in Stanton

[storm storm]

i think it was aberdeen / daymar

[storm storm]

yeah from my feeling yes

[pearl juniper]

There are a couple of items that improve charge rate, but usually not worth giving up something else for in my opinion. You do have to hold it in the green for a bit to break

[keen garden]

That’s not something I noticed on ptu, both seemed the same. But I haven’t done shared on live

[keen garden]

If you are in a mole, there’s some things you can do to help with that, but in a prospecto/golem you’re usually too power limited to give up power for convenience

Hofstead has its own bonus to green zone speed, and the torrent module applies a multiplier to this value, I run one on every hofstead I put on my mole to speed things up

[echo lodge]

depends on what you are mining

[glass dust]

Crafting materials would be the aim

[echo lodge]

If you are going for ores that arre more common, so not quant stileron or savrilium, a helix and 2 hofstedes is a good kit that should handle most situations

module wise, helix with a rieger c3 and 2 surges would be good

than the hofstedes can have what you prefer

reiger and surge for more power, or focus 3 and xtrxl for more window

can go for torrent and fltrxl as well if you want charge rate for speed and better filtering of inert

hofstedes are also nice because they have the largest range for breaking small rocks too

[glass dust]

This is awesome thank you 😍

[echo lodge]

https://regolith.rocks/loadouts/calculator

this is a good resource for kits to see what does what

https://scmdb.net/?page=fab

this works too but can be more confusing

[craggy tapir]

88264.....

[echo lodge]

88k for 37 scu rock is just sad nowadays

thats used to be 200 scus dammit

[narrow hare]

anyone else having trouble selling ores? Just keep getting the one error, even after sending them down the elevator

[agile oyster]

Is the sell price of ore different for different quality?

[craggy tapir]

nope
as commodities have a quality of 0

not sure if thats intended tho

[agile oyster]

It sucks and now the refinery takes half of the little bit of ore you find
A rock that size should fill up a mole and golem
I guess have to wait for the Arrastra to mine 200 scu rocks again

[echo lodge]

refining always had a yield like that

and yea, im a little annoyed they made some rocks massive but didnt release a ship that can handle it easily

[narrow hare]

I imagine it's for that one RSI ship

[echo lodge]

yea, quant mining jut dont hit the same because you cant really find rocks that are soloable anymore. Its either .2 scu or 100k mass

[agile oyster]

Before 4.4 refinery gave 90% back

[agile oyster]

Yeah so where is the arrastra I want to mine 100k rocks solo

[narrow hare]

I dunno if it's even been announced it's being worked on

[noble pier]

wait if you cancel a refinement all the ore goes into a box and you can't do anything with it ?

[keen garden]

Everything that is done gets sent to boxes like usual, everything that isn’t should be lost/deleted

[noble pier]

Ah interesting I cancelled it when it did 6/500 and got 11 boxes of stuff

[visual moss]

@dawn urchin what do i do if i quite literally dont get assigned a box like hailing didnt go through

hail again?

[dawn urchin]

Always do the fly 10km away and come back whenever it fails

[visual moss]

roger

[dawn urchin]

you can just spam the call and they'll give you it

but you'll always run the risk of being silently impounded when you do that

[visual moss]

thank you

[dawn urchin]

there are some days when I just care a tiny bit less and risk the impound

[visual moss]

thats how i feel most times but for rn im not

i forget, arent there ai pirates?

[dawn urchin]

They exist technically but you can 100% ignore them and just jump through them

[visual moss]

they generally arent strong enough to do anything to me?

[dawn urchin]

not unless the AI pathing particullarly hates you that day and they fly right into you at mach jesus

[visual moss]

well.........

that happens to me in the arrow more than i care to admit

i qt in and they are beaming towards me

[dawn urchin]

how are you at flying uncoupled

[visual moss]

i always fly uncoupled

[dawn urchin]

yay

[visual moss]

feel to restricted when i fly coupled

i geenrally strafe hard with the arrow

i havethe mobility wing

[dawn urchin]

so your giant ass hull-c engines let you just burn in a straight line away, then you uncouple and rotate around and get free very easy shots on the AI because they always fly in a straight line when they're playing catch-up

[visual moss]

gotcha i see, what size are my guns and should i even bother upgrading like shields adn shit

[dawn urchin]

You 100% should always just burn away, realign and jump again

but sometimes you just kinda enjoy aura farming on lil pirates

[dawn urchin]

size 3's so they're not awful

they're also chin mounted right under the cockpit so they have decent convergence and don't hit two different parts of the target

[visual moss]

i love convergence, the arrow feels perfect and the scorp loves big targets

anyways so is there an optimal distance that i should hail cargo to minimize no box?

[dawn urchin]

that generally leans into the superstition bug-work-arounds

some people will swear by calling the cargo when you're at the bottom of the space-station so you're far away from players

but personally I haven't actually had any repeatable results

You can start calling as soon as you're in radio range, I usually come in hot off to the side of the station and spin around uncoupled and then afterburn brake till im beside the station

and if they don't give me a cargo box I'm already facing the right way to burn away from it again

[visual moss]

gotcha gotcha

thank ya much

[fickle night]

yo yo, whats the best solo mining ship? would like to be able to use it for the asteroid missions too in a group etc

[plain canyon]

I made a Google docs sheet when you type signature it tells you what kind of rock it is and how many rocks in the cluster if anyone's intrested

[plain canyon]

You can solo in a mole if ur patient

[fickle night]

haha i havent done it before, so maybe something to work up too

[plain canyon]

I have a mole but not outfitted yet

I just came back lol

[fickle night]

gotcha i was looking at the golem / prospector but not sure if ones actually better than the other or something

[plain canyon]

Tbh in depends on the heads you attach

That's why mole is slightly better

You can have 3 diffrent heads

Only hassle is switching seats

But if u have a friend its not that bad

[plain canyon]

U want a sheet i made with chat gbt?

It tells you what kind of rock and the amount in it

[fickle night]

yeah that'd be dope

[plain canyon]

Ok ill dm u

[keen garden]

Golem is fine, and simple because you can’t change the laser

But you will run into a math problem with the golem (and prospector as well,) given they can’t break rocks as big as the mole can, you will run into a lot of rocks you’ll just have to skip when solo

For our group stuff what works best is 1 solo mole and then a bunch of people scouting in whatever mining ship they like

Other moles, golem, prospector, doesn’t matter, they just look for high quality stuff and when someone finds something with high quality that they can’t break, a mole is called over

[regal tide]

What's the difference between ore and raw? Isn't everything just ore

[regal tide]

so wild can't even get the ore bags out of the new lift in the mole lol

[last marsh]

Hey, anyone got a general Mole build for mining anything

[whole fable]

fair enough

[wild meteor]

it seems to me even with helix 2 i can’t mine bigger rocks, what other modules and gadgets i can use to mine them?

[keen garden]

yup. helix on front, hofsteads on sides, two impacts preloaded with rieger c3's on grid

i usually run with one of the hofsteads swapped with an impact when i'm solo

[keen garden]

i've found a good number of rocks in pyro that i couldn't break with three mole lasers, needed help from scout ships

[wild meteor]

im totally new to mining, so once equipped these, the person firing laser has to click something to make it work or is it passive

[keen garden]

might have been able to break them if i ran surges on the impacts too, but, i don't tend to run more than one laser with active modules, just to avoid needing to manage multiple people using modules

the rieger-c3's are passive, so you don't need to do anything to enable them

[wild meteor]

so its me and my friend in mole, if me and him both sit in laser, we can melt those rocks?

[cerulean dove]

Has anyone had luck with the rayari quests?

[keen garden]

with two players, you can probably do, i'd estimate, around 50-60k? maybe?

depends on the resistance and if you use gadgets

[wild meteor]

should i swap stampede with rigers?

[keen garden]

i usually run a rieger-c3 + surge + stampede on the helix

[wild meteor]

so how exactly does gadget works, i have to be on foot and do like remote bomb type of thing?

[keen garden]

yup, just walk up and place it on the rock, then adjust the little sliders to get the % to 90 or above

there's no benefit to going beyond 90

and if you have two players, you can place two gadgets. just have to place them at the same time, do a countdown

[wild meteor]

whats the timer?

[keen garden]

not sure tbh, but it's never failed for us so it seems to be pretty lenient

[wild meteor]

so pretty much, place it set it to 90%, run back to ship and wait

[keen garden]

run back to ship, and crack the rock with your lasers like normal

the gadget applies a multiplier to the rocks stats, similar to how your laser does

[wild meteor]

OHHH

and how do riger and stampede goes together?

[keen garden]

im not sure in what specific order, but they each multiply the laser's power

2350(or whatever the base power of the laser is) * 135% * 25%

goes up to 6903

(this is also why more module slots = way more potential power)

i'm not sure what order these multipliers apply, i'd assume slot 1 2 then 3, etc

[wild meteor]

hmm okay

thanks, will message if got more questions

[hoary dragon]

Refineries will make mined materials have higher quality right?
did rockbreaker and got like, a bit of 300-400ish quality
sub-par
so im hoping refining it will make it better

[jovial matrix]

nope

[hoary dragon]

thats fucked.
How tf we supposed to get high quality shit from Rockbreaker then?

[tired inlet]

Do the pvp version, the rock has higher quality gems than those Shubin sells as exclusive claims

[hoary dragon]

fuckin seriously?
gotta be kiddin me...

[rose goblet]

Anyone know why my hand mining laser doesn't respond to mouse wheel? I left click to turn on, nothing changes

[mild cloud]

Ok I just ran another 1hr moth session, it still doesn't seem that profitable

[rose goblet]

And is there a trick to finding the cave exit 🙁

[young basin]

are you using Lalt+scrollwheel?

[rose goblet]

oh!! I was just using scroll wheel!

THAT DID IT omg

[shut elbow]

honestly i think CIG is genius putting 99% of the high quality ore behind fps content. everyone know the thing that industrial gamers/miners enjoy most about mining is the..... guns. 😂 gotta love those goobers chris hired.

[agile oyster]

It’s so much better than Aline and mine being able to only have PVE so you can do it solo or with a few people
You have to fight off 3 idris and 15 fighters at Hathor you need a org to do it
But having to fight NPCs for all the new missions or best loot sense 4.0 is interesting
it’s fun but for every new mission is unnecessary something deferent would be nice

[rose goblet]

Next question: I made some ammo (fabricator in my hanger) and told it to send to the fabricator tray - tray pops out. Nothing there. What?

[dreamy scaffold]

Anybody got a good build for the prospector mining heads? I’m thinking helix and 2 focus?

[frail cypress]

When doing the ship mining contracts, do i have to deliver the exact amount of ore? Since refinery gives me 4 scu boxes and quest needs 2 scu, is there a way to split the 4 into 2x2?

[spare cloud]

Deliver 4SCU, it'll hand you back the leftover.

[sleek bridge]

What happens when the perfentage on my quantanium runs down to zero when i have it stored in my golem?

And should I mine quant of any quality lvl?

[frail cypress]

If by perfentage you mean timer, then your golem goes boom.
Unles you store the ship, in that case the timer stops.

[sleek bridge]

Is there a way to get more quant before I go boom?

The timer isnt that long

[frail cypress]

Sure, mine more before the timer reaches zero.

[sleek bridge]

From what quality lvl onwards should I mine ores in general?

[frail cypress]

I know very little, since i just came back after a year. But from what i read it looks like this:
below 500: sell to TDD or mining contracts
500-800: crafting
above 800: sell to players.
Quant is probably the exception. If players are still buying it for wikelo stuff, then any quality.

Someone more knowledgeable please correct me if i'm wrong.

[random patrol]

I dont keep anything below 800

[sleek bridge]

Aight thanks

[frail cypress]

That sounds reasonable, now if only i could find anything above 750 i'd do that too 🙂

[random patrol]

Yeah its painful. Ive been grinding bp's for a few days but ill go back to mining soon enough

[cold plume]

how should i set up my mole to solo mine anything? plz help

[sleek bridge]

Ive been flying around cellin for 40min, scanned every rock... I didnt find any wuant and only shit quality ores

[cold plume]

wuant?

quant?

[cold plume]

https://scmdb.net/?page=mine

o7

[sleek bridge]

Im looking for anything usefull but only found shit:/

[cold plume]

use that link i sent in chat it tells you the chance of finding every ore and where

https://scmdb.net/?page=mine

this one^

[sleek bridge]

What about quality?

[cold plume]

it says that to

[sleek bridge]

Thanks!

[cold plume]

np o7

[sleek bridge]

What ores are best to sell to other players atm? Besides quant

[cold plume]

i have no clue XD, but 500 - 800 quality

[cold plume]

@sleek bridge maybe this

[sleek bridge]

Thanks bro

[cold plume]

sorry its not much help

[sleek bridge]

I know now more than before so thats good enough for me

[blazing patio]

best place to find gold and tungsten?

[random patrol]

WIP from my org

[half heath]

i want to start prospector mining, whats a good ore to mine

[blazing patio]

Anything that is small enough.

Pretty much all pre is in demand by players now

[half heath]

oh so i could just sell the ores to players for some profit

[olive gull]

AWESOME job!, thanks for sharing 💙

now that Regolith is shutting down we miners need all the help we get

[random patrol]

Being part of an industry related org has its benefits 🫡

[dusky harness]

So... I'm trying surface mining with a Prospector and a Golem. They're fine breaking small rocks, but their extraction mode are not working for me... Tried everything, like on/off mining mode, powering on/off the ship, remove then reattach the ore pods, even server hopping and reclaiming the ships. Any ideas?

[dusky harness]

Resolved: need to hand mine, or use ROC/Geo

[pearl juniper]

ahh, you need to find rocks, not gems, to use the ships. There are plenty of them on most planets and moons, just need to find the right ones.

[hoary dragon]

How the hell are people finding 800+ quality rocks? Been doing this shit for hours and havent found a single rock with a quality higher than 600. Even then, that concentration is only like 6%, with the other 40-60% being like, 200-300 quality shit.

[keen garden]

The more rocks you check per hour, the more high quality you will find

For 800+, it has to be the primary material

You won’t find 800+ aslarite on titanium rocks, for example

My strategy is scanning from 8km up

[hoary dragon]

thats what im doing.
Looking for anything, Im sticking strictly to the rocks that have it as the main. In this case, Heph.
I just cant find anything above 600

[keen garden]

Only diving to the surface if the frequency matches my target

There’s no real trick to it

Having more people in your crew scanning rocks helps a lot

All about number of rocks checked per hour

This also means some moons are better than others, due to atmo slowing you down rather than just chance for the rock you want

[broken lion]

Is there any chance to mine Lindinium solo? Did someone find any rock in Nyx that can be mined? Tried in ARGO Mole with Helix 2 and attachments on almost +85% power in total, with any rock attachments I could get. No progress bar filling at all. What am I doing wrong? Do I really need to recruit 1 or 2 people to do this? Is this the only option I have?

[keen garden]

Got a screenshot of the rock?

You can play around with potential loadouts here if you plug in the rock stats https://rockbreaker.peacefroggaming.com/

[broken lion]

No, unfortunately. But it's not hard to find. Lindinium spawns at Nyx and always have 25000+ mass, and high instability

Oh, ty for resource. Will check it.

[keen garden]

25k shouldn’t be too hard for a helix, but the instability would be rough

[broken lion]

Can put some rock attachment to make it lower

[keen garden]

If you can place a gadget, yea, boremax would help a lot

Impact should be able to break that rock too, and it also reduces instability

But it doesn’t reduce resistance, so you’ll want a surge

[blazing patio]

Can you explain this frequency to me in dm

[keen garden]

I’d rather not, can probably find a guide to share,

[blazing patio]

That works too

[keen garden]

—> https://youtu.be/jGyzbp7Zr_Q?t=189

I’d generally prefer using an impact if it can break the rock

Just generally safer than a helix

Only resort to my helix when it’s a very safe rock, or the impact can’t handle it

[celest sable]

So, is selling refined ore just super tedius now?

[keen garden]

yup

[celest sable]

Thats awful.

[frail cypress]

How can i even see quality of Heph? For me the material name text covers the quality number, so i can't tell what i got.

[keen garden]

I installed a language pack that fixes it

[celest sable]

I wish there was a language pack to fix selling ore lol

[rancid stone]

Hello, is it possible to find beryl in Pyro ? On which planet ? Did not find any 🙁

[royal spear]

ye reading now

[random patrol]

Now people will actually ahve to do their own research

[frail cypress]

Is that the one by ExoAE, that shortens the name to Heph?
Does it work well, without causing any UI issues elsewhere?

[royal spear]

sadge. I highly doubt CIG will provide anything worth a damn in game for these game loops but hopefully we'll see more people in the community step up

[keen garden]

I use the one from MrKraken

[frail cypress]

Thanks, i'll try that.

[keen garden]

I mean… it feels as though they’ve significantly simplified the ore distribution, from what I’ve seen I don’t really see a point in the survey corps bit continuing, I’d love to see a new tool that can handle tracking found rocks and refinery orders over time, but the current in game UX makes that pretty difficult

I want to see the game UX improved so that we can get all of the data for a given refinery order in a code friendly format

Even just sending them to the game log would suffice

Though… less convenient than a screen capture

[celest sable]

Did you click on the planets in the in-game map and view the descrpition? Ive found these to be the only accurate listings

[rancid stone]

Yes, i only saw beryl listed on Wela, but since Pyro seems to offer better quality, i hope i can find some there too (but not listed on any planet tooltip)

[mild cloud]

Can anyone tell me what's going on here?

[tired inlet]

I can confirm you took a photo of your pc monitor with your phone and then uploaded it to discord

[mild cloud]

Lol very funny

Also it's anyone else unable to undock?

[tired inlet]

Um, but otherwise no help here. Search issue council for keywords Invalid Quantity Error?

[tired inlet]

But for real why

[mild cloud]

I can't sell any on my cm

Of*

[celest sable]

Prob not then. I havent found any ores not listed on the planet in-game. let me know if you do though

SC Trade Tools shows New Babbage wants to buy Taranite, but they don't... yay

[keen garden]

Bug

[celest sable]

Does anyone have a listing, site, or resource on selling raw ores?

[mild cloud]

Any ideas? Think it will work if I load them on to a ship and take them somewhere else or should I just chuck them? It's $480k

[keen garden]

can try, but i've never gotten past that error. tbf, i haven't tried very hard, it was on PTU

haven't tried to sell anything on live, because the ptu experience of selling things to a TDD (for mining specifically) was pretty bad

[near swallow]

Raw unrefined ore can only be sold at refineries. There is normally a terminal near the refining terminals for that purpose, and also for getting rid of inert material left behind. You don't get as much by selling raw ores though.

[near swallow]

Sell the ore boxes one at a time, or at least one size at a time. Don't use the Max button. I think the kiosk needs some updating to handle SCU boxes that are not completely full.

[sage geyser]

any one got good location of ouratite? like decent quality?

[distant forge]

Anyone up for co pilot doing transport runs in my raft?

[keen garden]

i liked mining it on one of the pyro V moons, forget wh ich

wait... no that' can't be right

i'd probably do aberdeen

[distant forge]

The journal will tell you where to find minable stuff

[rose goblet]

Is there a way to get individual gems to stack? I harvest a bunch and they've all ended up single items

[steady tangle]

hull c the best cargo hauler? or is a C2 more worth it

[toxic ice]

Largest mass rocks people have been mining as solo mole?

[distant forge]

c2 is way better id rather have the raft than hull c

i busted a 55k yesterday. lindinium in nyx

[blazing patio]

42k

[toxic ice]

How...

[blazing patio]

Helix plus dial surge modules. Plus rieger module

Extremely hard to control due to stability but each surge add 50% to laser power per use. And rieger adds passive 25%

[merry cipher]

All this mining is giving me the urge to break out the alt and second pc

[blazing patio]

Had the perfect gif for that. But gif are blocked

[merry cipher]

No fun allowed

[blazing patio]

Sad

[rancid stone]

Tried Ignis and Vatra that were supposed to have the highest chances for beryl according to what i found on google, but no beryl in sight after 30-45mn of roaming over each of them 🙁
So for now i'm going to Wela for Beryl, i also read that stanton ore is about the same quality or even higher than the one in pyro (i read the opposite a few days ago :D)

[celest sable]

I wasn't talking about Google. I was talking about the in-game star map.

The in-game star map is the most accurate and up to date that I've found.

Even the journal has incorrect entries

[rancid stone]

Yes me too, no planet/moons in Pyro seems to have Beryl according to in-game information
On the web i found several people or spreadsheets that were claiming beryl can indeed be found in pyro.
But after roaming around to find beryl myself there i did not found any.
So i'll go to Wela since its the only orbital body with beryl listed in the information tooltip in-game i found

[keen garden]

Yeah, 40-50k

Largest I’ve popped on a prospector was 24k, but there was room to go a bit higher (could replace the reiger-c3 with an active)

[celest sable]

Yeah, if you do find something not listed on the in-game star map that would be interesting to know. So far, I haven't.

[keen garden]

I haven’t really pushed the limits of the mole yet for solo breaks since 4.7, I’ve always had a buddy nearby and thus had no reason to go 3x surge

Prior to 4.7 my biggest break was a 60k 40% quant rock

[ashen quail]

So how do yall earn efficient money with the reclaimer

[rancid stone]

will do 🫡

[keen garden]

To overcome the reclaimer’s downsides, you need bulk

[celest sable]

Take the mission, fracture, refine, profit. Like 2m a trip.

Also check for cargo too. Sometimes find oodles of it

[ashen quail]

That was the plan but i cant find any stations where i can unload and refine at the same station

[keen garden]

You can jump to pyro,

Or levski

When dealing with a full reclaimer, that trip is probably worth it

[celest sable]

We normally switch ship while it's refining to a normal scu box one

It's like 4m total but we split it 50/50. We break maybe 2-3 ships.

[ashen quail]

so i should use some other ship that can be in a hangar and move the cargo around or just refine in pyro?

[keen garden]

Or get a buddy to help you load an external elevator

[celest sable]

We haven't gone to Pyro to do it. Just unload the boxes into the warehouse and then into something else. Way easier with 2 ppl. Worth splitting it tbh

[ashen quail]

and one full reclaimer load is 2x240scu right

so optimally id need a cargo ship with at least that capacity

[celest sable]

We don't fit it based on that tbh

[keen garden]

240 in hopper + 1600 off grid and whatever you can fit on grid in salvage processing

[ashen quail]

ah yeah

what 2nd ship did u use for the transport part?

u think a raft is enough?

[keen garden]

Note that 1600 requires no empty bottles lieing around

[celest sable]

Last time we did it I want to say catapillar? Like 5 boxes per area and it has 3 areas?

We only printed the biggest boxes.

[ashen quail]

yeah we prolly wont do 1600 for the first time

[ashen quail]

ah ok ill look at it

and the RCM is less/not worth it?

[keen garden]

Reclaimer is probably the ship where the rmc is worth the most per hour? Simply due to its scrape speed, but one or the other will be the more profitable option

I don’t do cmats unless I have a buddy to help move boxes that day

[bronze dirge]

Is solo reclaimer still the best Auec/hour or has some form of solo mining supplanted that with the new changes?

[ashen quail]

yeah ill go with a friend

[keen garden]

Depends, do you consider the player market as a place to make aUEC?

[celest sable]

+1 for with a friend. It makes each step more than 2x as fast

[bronze dirge]

I did okay with small quantities of quant pre 4.7

[keen garden]

Strictly ignoring the player market I’d still expect mining to be better at a certain point, but that requires player efficiency far more than salvaging does, and prep

[celest sable]

I made decent money selling refined ore out of a rented prospector yesterday. Like 200k per SCU refined ore. But I think the ore prices fluctuate

[bronze dirge]

I play pretty sporadically currently and am trying to decide between hull-c shipping and salvaging as my quiet solo moneymaker

Wastn sure how mining affected the solo loop yet, though I never really got into it. Spent more time setting up my mothership than actually mining

[celest sable]

My one friend said the same thing, but I didn't have to set anything up. I just went mining? lol

[bronze dirge]

I had been taking out an m2 with extra bags and a golem. Sometimes just the golem if I didnt have much time

[celest sable]

an m2? Sorry I dont know all the ships. I did it with a prosp yesterday, gonna do a golem today and a mole later

[keen garden]

Hull c shipping is a dead end atm

Unless you want to move boxes with a tractor beam

It’ll work sometimes, but bugs will significantly cut into your hourly profits

[bronze dirge]

Thats what I was afraid of. Thank you

[keen garden]

Mining is my loop, even though I don’t do it for profit, but happy to answer questions on that

[mild cloud]

is reclaimer bedlogging broken?

[keen garden]

No

Not any more broken than logging out on any other ship that is, armor often gets in the way

[mild cloud]

thats what i thought but its not even giving me the option, i can find the prompt but logout just isnt there. ived tried every bunk, what one do you usually use?

[keen garden]

The captains, but if you aren’t getting a prompt…

[celest sable]

Some of them have multiple F locations, and even then you have to right-click on the correct one. Like the Cutlass Black. IDK about the Reclaimer specifically though.

[keen garden]

That’s usually a case of there’s another get up button you need to use

[mild cloud]

ah

[bronze dirge]

I've noticed sometimes I cant turn my head far enough to bring the main button into view.

[keen garden]

Sleeping on the mole/moth is the easiest

Just sit on the left bed and use the logout button on the bed across the way

[loud bluff]

where can i buy some high quality ores, is anyone here selling?

[keen garden]

Market street, uex, but not here

[agile oyster]

How many shubim mining missions do I need to do to unlock rock breaker ?

[loud bluff]

thanks ,market is pretty cluttered

[willow fable]

hey guys , what are some good website for freight trade ? i saw gallog.co but i wanna ask here if its up to date and stuff

[spare cloud]

!cargo ⬇️

[fallen badge]

Resources for cargo trading

These websites can be used for finding/planning trade routes, simulating trade prices, and more:
• SC Trade Tools
• United Express Corp (UEX)
• Galactic Logistics
• Cargo Grid planner

Also check out the #industrial-professions channel for questions about cargo running, recommended ships, etc

[spare cloud]

I'm actually surprised people still use gallog

[willow fable]

thanks

[willow fable]

i js saw an old video explaining how hull C was working and the guys used that website but when i look at the administration stuff its more expensive or out of stop

[keen garden]

Enough to get jr contractor

[celest sable]

Today my ship isnt showing up in the refiner ui. 😐

[olive gull]

swap servers

[keen garden]

Make sure you stored it

[celest sable]

Yeah, That helped it.

[celest sable]

It was, swapping made it appear though.

Moving all these crates is going to be a pain in the ass tho

Its gonna be like 4 SCU in 16 containers lol

[willow fable]

its my first time doing trading cargo , and it tells me to go in a cargo manager stuff , and i dont understand how it works

can someone explain it quickly

[celest sable]

I dont know what a cargo manager is tbh

[willow fable]

like the freight manager stuff

[celest sable]

Yeah, I don't know what youre referring to. Maybe I just call it something else?

[willow fable]

well anyway , just it says "unclaimed cargo awaiting transwer" and idk how to get the cargo

[celest sable]

Are you doing a mission?

[willow fable]

no

js buying somewhere and selling somewhere else

[celest sable]

Okay. So, you buy it at a terminal, go to your hangar and use the elevator to bring it up.

[willow fable]

im in hull C i cant load when elevator

[olive gull]

• you buy the stuff in a Commodity terminal
• go to your hangar, call your ship
• use the Freight Elevator in your hangar to call out the cargo
• take the cargo to the destination

[keen garden]

I’d advise not using the hull c for that

[olive gull]

sometimes cargo can be autoloaded, sometimes it doesnt

[keen garden]

But if you want to try anyway…

[celest sable]

Oh if youre in hull-c you need to lead with that tbh

[olive gull]

yeah, throw Hull C to garbage, its broken

[keen garden]

Buy it with the hull c selected, then get in your hull c, hail cargo, and fly into the box. Wait, and pray it actually loads all the stuff you bought,

[willow fable]

oh

[olive gull]

and CIG have no intention to fix it anytime soon, or at all

[keen garden]

And… the reverse at the destination

With a similar chance of losing cargo

The external freight elevators work fine tho

Just don’t leave your ship door open, and hope no one comes by and takes your cargo

Since it isn’t bound to you

[willow fable]

i dont even see the box

[olive gull]

Piracy oportunities ...

[willow fable]

i cant hail cargo and i dont see no box

if i cant do that with hull C whats the biggest ship i can do that with ?

[keen garden]

Currently, C2

But also with it I’d avoid auto loading

It likes to do weird stacking that can cause issues

[bronze dirge]

huh. Honestly I didn't know you COULD autoload anything but a Hull-C

[keen garden]

Works the same way kinda, except there’s no green box and it works at any station

Store ship, buy to that ship, pay the auto load fee, and it’ll load it up

[bronze dirge]

cool

[keen garden]

The bug that happens is it’ll sometimes stack boxes inside each other

Which can cause explosive unstacking

[bronze dirge]

oof. I mean I've gotten myself stuck in cargo boxes, but I don't think Ive seen that yet

[olive gull]

think autoloading was introduced on 4.6, but its not fully reliable

[bronze dirge]

lets see where I spawn. My internet has been out for the last hour.

I joined during the last few weeks of 4.6

[olive gull]

if you dont have many boxes its kinda safe

[keen garden]

It’s been around for quite a while I think

Only works with refinery orders and commodity buying/selling

[celest sable]

The boxes can explode and kill you too, its a lot of fun

[spare cloud]

3.23

[fossil glen]

So how can I trade this to other players? i don't see it in my inventory at all?

[keen garden]

Trade what

[fossil glen]

The Sav

[keen garden]

Should be able to see it in the freight elevator ui

[fossil glen]

interesting..

[celest sable]

Its in the warehouse or in the fabcriator machine

[fossil glen]

I also have some ore that won't let me do a work order on it, just says error invalid

I see it in my invt but it just says Ore Pod but shows the Quality and the ore inside

[echo harness]

Best mole build for RB? 😊

[keen garden]

RB?

And why 4.8?

for rockbreaker all you need is an impact with reigers and you can break everything rockbreaker throws at you

Hofstead on the other side makes breaking the smaller rocks easier

[echo harness]

🙏 thanks lol - my first go was a bit too strong. So thought I’d ask 🙂

[keen garden]

But if I’m gonna solo it, I think I’d want to do it in a prospector

Because getting in and out of a mole laser 20 times to scoop up tiny rocks is annoying

But I haven’t actually used a prospector there to see whet the realities are for the high resist and instability saveillium and torite have

Maybe I’ll do that tonight

[echo harness]

Was gunna do a lotr mining gif but can’t do that lol

[keen garden]

Last night I had a prospector session on calliope, it was smoooth

[echo harness]

What did you run on it? - I’ve been wanting to try out the prospector

[keen garden]

Helix rieger-c3 surge

[echo harness]

Noice, imma try that out later this week. It’ll be fun

[keen garden]

Only problem is the tiny green window on quant

For rockbreaker I’d probably bring an impact instead of a helix on a prospector

[echo harness]

I don’t mine quant, it freaks me out

[keen garden]

Or a hofstead

Would need to do some math

I want to say 15k is the biggest I’ve seen there, and with a surge + hofstead you can eliminate most of the resistance, but would you have enough power

[toxic ice]

Ways to get around atls geo storage bug? (i filled it up, emptied it, then the UI didnt update so it thinks its full but its not, and thus wont let me mine any more)

Appreciate "store it" will fix it but im talking about while im on the planet surface

[keen garden]

You can’t completely avoid it, but you can make it take longer to bother you

Don’t let it get more than 80% full, empty it into your backpack

Once it stops sucking while empty, throw the box away and use a new box

[toxic ice]

Oh I can buy spare boxes?

[keen garden]

Yup

[toxic ice]

Well fuck me. That kinda solves my issue I guess

[keen garden]

What’s happening is the game thinks the box is full still

[toxic ice]

Yeh I get it, was just curious if there was a way to workaround

[keen garden]

You know how sometimes an scu box in inventory can get to 150% displayed capacity

Same bug

[toxic ice]

But I'll just buy a bunch of empties

So that box will be forever fucked?

[keen garden]

You empty it and it’s left at 50% capacity

Repeat a few times and you’ll end up past 100%, box is broke till next patch

But they’re cheap enough

[toxic ice]

Ok I'll keep the broken boxes then if hopefully gets fixed

[keen garden]

Just load up a 1 or 2 scu box with them

[toxic ice]

Yeh that's the plan

Ty

[grand shuttle]

Did we get any actual new info on the hull b in the inside ships episode or was it entirely April fool's jokes

Hull bee looks like it might have a cockpit closer to hull a than a narrow mail slot style

[olive gull]

it was a joke all of it
the Hull Z (Zombie themed... 🤣 )

[mild pumice]

If yo wanna make some easy money (if you have Pyro Master Hauling Rep) these missions are broken and you only have to pick up from one location and drop off (seems to always be the bottom location) It used to Spawn about the same cargo per location but for once a nice bug lol

[opal valve]

lol perfect

[mild pumice]

well jokes on me I didn't get paid 😄

[opal valve]

RIP

[covert dome]

did it not work LOL

[mild pumice]

It completed but no pay lol. Previous one paid out so just usual SC stuff

Waiting on the next mission pack,courier missions, etc.

[covert dome]

interesting

[fresh mango]

For mining lasers/gadgets, do active gadgets stack? I.E. if you pop 3 Rimes off at once do they all apply?

Also, those buffs are multiplicative, not additive right? Like multiple -resistance ones are multiplicative and not additive

[keen garden]

some do, but apparently some don't

stampede doesn't seem to?

can definitely stack surges

[maiden iris]

do people make good money looting oynx facilities as a loop?
Nothing ive seen sells for anything really to vendors

[keen garden]

it's mostly about getting the rcmbnts from hyperion

asd armor used to be good, but now you can just craft it so

backpacks still sought after probably

[quartz hornet]

Anybody have any luck with gadget

I’ve only been able to add the to rocks when they where first introduced. Cant fit the life of me stretch them to rocks now

[keen garden]

Not in space no, they rarely attach for me

I primarily do surface mining

[quartz hornet]

And you have joy with surface mining?

[keen garden]

Definitely

Both in a prospector and in a mole

It’s my main game loop

[quartz hornet]

Any tips to get them to stick to the rock?

[keen garden]

On the surface, it just kinda always works for me, get into place mode, find the holograph, and put it on the rock

In space… idk. It’s so weird in Eva

[quartz hornet]

Bought me hundreds of sabirs and been unsuccessful

[keen garden]

I’ve had them “place” on the rock floating 10m away

[quartz hornet]

Right ok. Look for the holograph not just spam click and run around the rock like a loon

[keen garden]

Yup

[quartz hornet]

Thanks 🙏

[keen garden]

Just like placing a Cruz bottle

[quartz hornet]

You find the cluster modify being effective. It never really worked in the initial patches

Cluster together all this top quality mats

[keen garden]

I don’t bother with it

Quantities are so small now it doesn’t hurt to just take the whole rock

Think about it this way, the more time you spend per rock trying to only get the good stuff, the less rocks total you’ll see that night

Crack scoop go

[quartz hornet]

Makes sense

I was aiming for a bar of 750+ but found that I spent 5 hours “exploring” and 5min mining. As a miner this sucked. So putting the bar down to 600 means I’m actually doing the profession I like. It’s just when you hit those 40+ scu rocks that you can’t smash with a helix 2 + 2x surge + focus 3 is when those gadgets come in.

[blazing patio]

so do ores respawn over time?

thanks bro

[rancid stone]

Some knows where lindinium is minable please ? I do not find it in the in game tooltips on any planet in the map 🙁

[true skiff]

am i crazy? Or does anyone else feel like mining in pyro and stanton is exactly the same when it comes to how frequently you get high quality minerals? ive been mining in pyro for 2 days straight now, and ive found a total of 2 rocks with 900+ quality
and both of them werent even big enough to crack. they were already small enough to just extract. so it was like 0.08scu

[keen garden]

Nyx

[keen garden]

It feels the same to me

[true skiff]

im at the point where im asking myself "why did i even bother going to pyro?"

[keen garden]

Pyro has better options for some resources

[true skiff]

maybe the resources themselves, but not for higher quality, which defeats the purpose of going to a more dangerous place, IMO

[rancid stone]

Since there is no planet we can quantum to yet, where i can find minable rocks ? Asteroid ? Where do i need to go to find asteroids in Nyx ? Ty ! 🙂

[keen garden]

Anywhere in the ring basically

Or around any of the stations

You can take contracts to get a quantum marker out in the ring if you want

[rancid stone]

Thank you very much !

[keen garden]

Def prefer the inner ring

Outer ring is very sparse unless you’re near one of the stations

[mild cloud]

Moth only printing 1 scu boxes for anyone else?

[grand shuttle]

It does that if you leave auoeject on and then qt i think

I turn that off , qt, .manually eject and I get 8scu, the. Enable auto eject

[upbeat vale]

Yeah Reclaimer has the same issue

sometimes if you dont turn off auto eject before heading out the Reclaimer dispenser will just fail all together

[mild cloud]

So it's if you do it in qt eh?

[cerulean bridge]

i don't understand how to deliver 0/2 copper for the XS purchase order: ship mined ore. I have refind copper now in various SCU boxes. But sending them down the frieght elevator does nothing

[mild cloud]

It was super annoying because it printed everything in 1scu boxes and then my pilot seat got bugged so I couldn't call to land so I had to unload the full moth of 1scu crates to an external elevator

[keen garden]

are they full boxes?

we had a problem last night where it wouldn't let us submit full boxes, and swapping servers fixed it.

you can't submit partial boxes

[crimson sierra]

is the hermes beam broken for boxes?

[keen garden]

Worked for me the other day

[blazing patio]

Is Sadaryx bugged. Only seem to find qual 0

[maiden iris]

4.7 has been brutal for hangar spawns, I lost 0 ships spawning in hangars in 4.6 with using the cargo auto loading feature

wish I could say the same for 4.7

has anyone found any way to make 4.7 smooth with auto loading on a stored ship

[keen garden]

Bugged, or not, but yes 0

Their only crafting use is a place where you can use aphorite instead

So…. Not a big deal

[blazing patio]

zenith requires it

or are you saying aphorite can be used in place of it for the zenith rifle craft

[keen garden]

Hmmm… I’m not sure on the zenith

I was told it could use aphorite

But maybe I was misinformed

Anyone else run into an issue where your prospector laser stops… working

[blazing patio]

i highly doubt you can

[blazing patio]

probably blew it up

weird no clue thrn unfortunatly

[marsh briar]

So question regarding refining on like the starfarer. is that gameplay implemented yet? and if and when it is all we do with the starfarer is go towards gases and suck these up to refine into hydrogen fuel??

[jovial matrix]

Its not ingame yet, and I don't think anyone knows how it'll work until we get in ingame

[keen garden]

it was user error, needed a bit more power

forgot i was using a sabir

def not bringing the prospector for this job anymore solo, mole is just safer

[marsh briar]

thats fair alright I was wanting to ask because I am gonna go the industrial route in-game so I am just seeing what everything has to offer etc

[mild cloud]

Yeah I've lost a bunch too

[rose goblet]

I'm liking my Titan for zipping around and putting a few gems in boxes to drop into mission locations - it's discreet and quick and carries a couple of SCU. Anything better for the job?

[maiden iris]

Have you ran into any losses with manual loading ?

[opaque tapir]

is there a way to "sell all" when im selling all my refine ore at the kiosk having to go through each ore individually is a pain..

[rose goblet]

Just a wee self bump in case anyone has any other good ship ideas I've forgotten

[keen garden]

TLDR mole is a far better option, the hofstead with reiger-c3+surge+stampede can break all the bigger rocks, I had an impact on as well but felt like I might aswell just use the helix when solo in that situation. YMMV. Prospector can solo break most of the rocks there but it requires gadget use which kinda eliminates all the efficiency gains you’d get from not having to hop in and out of lasers for half an hour. Prospector + buddy would be the ideal
Setup I think

[rose goblet]

I'm sorry for this kinda dumb question about mining heads: I set my heads like a random youtuber for 4.7. I have a heavy-hitter, a "team assist" head, and what I would call a generalist. My generalist head dials down to about 20% or maybe 10% (I forget what it is!), but I went to use the team assist head (has speed, has boost on width) and it only dials down to 30% or something, makes it kind of annoying for the sub breaks the other two heads risk overcooking, I couldn't dial it down enough for it to be gentle (but quick when in the wide green). Does anyone have a nice Mole setup which fixes my problem? 🙂

[celest sable]

Just the Cutter really

[jovial matrix]

I love the 100i series for this, its a damn shame they removed their intersceptor tuning recently though

[verbal lintel]

I imagine this gets asked pretty much every day, but since quality has become an option over quantity, is the mole still preferred even for solo players?

[jovial matrix]

I think a lot of people have been soloing moles in the event they find a high quality rock that the prospector can't crack, thats why I've been flying a mole

[verbal lintel]

Yeah that was my experience when I last took a prospector out a long time ago, struggled to find any rocks i could crack

[jovial matrix]

Idk what using the prospector is like right now, just been using the mole. I have heard that rocks got harder to crack overall this patch, cant confirm though

[rose goblet]

I really like my golem. If I can't crack a rock it's really quick to zip to another cluster and find more rocks.

But if you're trying to snipe quality - Mole it is

[frail cypress]

Mole, so i can bring my geo as well, to work on those hand mining contract blueprints.

[frank parcel]

Hello, could I get help with the go to loadout for a Prospector please?

[frail cypress]

A generic one would be helix with reiger and focus, and some gadgets in the backpack.

[frank parcel]

Thank you

[maiden steppe]

I haven't done mining since 3.18. I'm getting a golem in game. Is the teach's golem better than the one from new deal? I can't find anything that says what the actual upgrades are.

Just kidding. This Google search actually found something. I swear I did this before.

[ashen quail]

what s currently the best money making method with the reclaimer? Like which type of salvage and which types of missions

[dawn urchin]

Best raw pure $$$ is:

Hurston > contracts 10k-20k ships that hold a medium amount of cargo (not the Hull-C contracts they usually come with 32scu containers which you can't fit inside yourself at all) > pull up > open your lil butt door, cram any 16scu 3-5k resource in the salvage contract up the butt door, i.e. Tungsten, sit them all pretty off grid in the salvage hold, cram any 8scu 3-5k resource on your elevator, take it up to the cargo hold and fill that with on and off grid 8scu's > give the contract ship a quick wipe down with an abrade on both sides for a general amount of RMC, don't get too hung up on picking it clean, time is money, crush it for construction, repeat until your buffer is full, print your entire 240 buffer out into 16's until you can only print 8's, print 8's, toss them all about the salvage processing room, fill your buffer, print again, fill your buffer a third time but don't print, your cargo+salvage holds should be pretty full at this point, take the entire reclaimer down to Hurston's Tessa spaceport, cycle the cargo lift down and then up to make sure its refreshed, then toss everything onto it, repeat this loop forever

When you're done with the generating loop move onto the selling loop, bring up a hauling ship, take all the construction parts to a refinery and refine it on the slowest highest yield, while thats refining fly back and load up on your RMC and take the RMC to the highest selling RMC buyer at the time, then repeat the hauling with your cargo resources like Tungsten, if w/e best selling station you take it to is not buying at the time just keep the resources tucked away in that cargo lift and sell another time instead of dragging them around the verse looking for a seller

Due to Hull-C salvage contracts being laden with 32 SCU cargo right now though your reclaimers out aUEC/hour'd by a C2 just ripping resources off of them and then shooting the hull-C to complete the salvage contract and then selling 5-7 million of resources in one go

The reason why legal contracts are better aUEC/hour than illegal contracts with much stronger cargo drops is the same problem the C2 has right now with Hull-C salvage contracts also existing in the illegal cargo market basically every NQA you can jump to isn't taking any more SCU's of illicit cargo right now because everyone has the exact same plan of stripping that big bulk of 32scu illicit goods and selling them. So while illegal contracts technically make you more money it's just, good luck actually finding an hour of the day you can genuinely sell any of it, you'll be sitting checking the stations for days

[ashen quail]

Ahh alright thanks alot

[quartz hornet]

Does anybody know if I can attach two torrent 3 modules to the arbor size zero mining laser.

According to the stats it has two module slots

[raw shale]

Anyone here know how I can unlock higher cost unverified salvage contracts? Am stuck on the 5k ones and doesn't matter how many I do, I don't get the higher cost ones. Have also tried doing the other unverified salvage, where they pay you to get rid of the ship but that hasn't unlocked above 5k either

Last time I did such gameplay was 3.11 and I only just came back so I am likely doing something wrong

the other one is cargo grid viewer only

[quartz hornet]

To mine or buy?

[spare cloud]

Oh yeah I get it my bad.
I confused it with Astatine.

[stray tide]

no problem , i can understant it , ijust looked at them really fast soo , i can under stnad why you tht i skipped them

[spare cloud]

Aslarite is new of this patch I believe ? May be a RockBreaker ore.

[stray tide]

mine

[stray tide]

oh ok

[stray tide]

Fuego ?

[spare cloud]

Pyro V moon.

[quartz hornet]

It’s off pyro v

[stray tide]

ok

ok thnak you !

im more of a stanton guy , so dont know much about pyro

[spare cloud]

Oh yeah, name in "-ite" suggests it's ROC/Hand mineable.

[stray tide]

ok got it !

thanks !

[quartz hornet]

Ok - ita or Magda @stray tide - I just avoid those due to the wind

[stray tide]

thanks

[keen garden]

Just the reality of using a helix. Keep the helix, your job after the main break is to scoop while other lasers handle the sub breaks

[keen garden]

It’s fine, if you set up for minimizing the number of rocks you can’t crack

Helix plus rieger-c3/surge can handle the easier materials pretty easily up to around 24-26k, you just won’t do that well with rock that are high resist/instability

So pick your targets if you are running the prospector

I took it out for heph and iron on calliope and it was perfectly fine there

Even nabbed a decent amount of quant

If you have a friend or two mining on the same planet, they can just hop around and give you a bit more power too.

[orchid moth]

Greetings fellow chunky ship enjoyers, i want to upgrade my hauler, most recomends go into argo raft, wanted to know from the community if there's others to think about

[dawn urchin]

It's very hard to recommend anything other than the RAFT because of the 6x32scu it can load for the price

[orchid moth]

i see, lets future talk then, if i had a raft what would the upgrade to that be then?

[dawn urchin]

The current end-conclusion of all hauling is the C2, as it holds 20x32scu

The Hull-C on paper holds more but it's currently very very bugged that you need to be a special kind of dedicated hauler to put up with it

[orchid moth]

i refuse to dedicate!

xD

the C2 is the giant one from the pirate mission i think, let me check

i do have the c1 spirit and i love it

[shut elbow]

its interesting they didnt consider making the c2 cargo area just 5m taller. its at a height that makes stacking the 16/32scu crates annoying.

[dawn urchin]

Folk will try to talk you into the A2 or M2 for Protection and Just incase but personally in the C2, to this day, I've never been attacked by any of the boxes I've loaded so I haven't needed the extra shields or gun sizes to shoot any of the boxes dead in the hangars

[orchid moth]

im going to rent both and see which one i enjoy the most, i have 13mil atm, so i can rent and just buy whatever feels better, i was just looking for raft alternative (if it existed) tyvm for the tip/info

[shut elbow]

and the m2s hull is the exact same as the c2, you just lose the same snapping options as you near the ceiling. we measured 😂

[dawn urchin]

The hermes will be the Raft competition with 8x32scu instead of 6x32scu but it's currently only Pledge and not aUEC

[orchid moth]

the m2 and c2 look very similar

hermes, let me check

i have a salvation and a MDC with LTI on hold to upgrade into something one day, i want one of them to be a dedicated hauler since it's my fav loop

[spare cloud]

No hauler larger than the RAFT can be rented sadly. Ask someone who owns them in game to borrow them.

[grand shuttle]

hull-b will come out next week

[spare cloud]

Variants of the same ship.
Hercules Starlifter.
A2, M2 and C2. A2 isn't the right pick if cargo is your concern.

[grand shuttle]

its also worth pointing out that a2 and m2 are considerably more expensive than the c2

hull-b is external cargo and will likely be much cheaper than even c2 once its available for auec, right?

[spare cloud]

They're identical inside and outside, only difference is in loadout and turrets, and A2 has bomb racks on the inside taking a bit of space.
M2 grid is artificially reduced to 75% of the C2 one. And A2 is like 25% of it.

[orchid moth]

ye cargo is most of my focus, utility aswell, raft looks nice since it's slot in and move on

[spare cloud]

You'll want an ATLS if you get a Hercules, but they're definitely the hauler kings atm.

{{ATLS}}

[alpine orbit]

https://starcitizen.tools/ATLS

Star Citizen Wiki

ATLS

The ATLS (Assisted Transport and Loading System) is a power suit manufactured by Argo Astronautics. It is designed to assist individuals in lifting heavy loads when manual handling poses safety risks and the use of a vehicle is not feasible. This durable exo-frame incorporates a patented structural support mechanism along with a custom tractor system, which greatly enhances the user's strength, stability, and load-bearing capabilities.

[orchid moth]

ops i just crashed my fully loaded ship cause i was alt tabbed XD

i tried the ATLS i didnt like it, i felt like the big trackor beam is better

[grand shuttle]

theres a few tricks that make atls much better, like using free look

[shut elbow]

if they made the 3rd person camera adjustable in the atls, it would be so good.

[dawn urchin]

It's also worth noting that although the Starfarer (refuel ship) technically has a horrible horrible grid for bulk cargo, it actually has a very neat grid for lots of tiny cargo runs like Planetary local contracts where you bounce between two or three stops and can organise them all into their own spaces

You can take quite honestly every single Local contract on hurston between junior shipping and Senior shipping and fit it all in there

[orchid moth]

oh i see o.o

let me google that, im seing the hermes

the hermes looks like the apollo

[grand shuttle]

Its a "variant" of the same hull, but paints don't apply.

[orchid moth]

i like the layout of the apollo, if only there was any medical missions

with t1 beds everywhere nowadays, the medivac seems useless

but it's a gorgeous design

omg the C2 is 696 scu xD

it's 18mil though, i need some more farming, i decided on going for the c2 :3 tyvm for the info

[long frost]

You'll get used to it haha

[grand shuttle]

I want to do the embed gooble-gobble-one-of-us but it wont let me

[cerulean bridge]

I'll have to try again today. Initially I was definitely just throwing a mixture of boxes on there expecting the system to just sort it out but after that didn't work I did at one point send a single 1 SCU full box of copper down and still nothing.

[latent crag]

should i only run one hofstede or 2? my middle laser is a helix

[keen garden]

For 2 crew, I like to run 2 hofstead

For solo I run hofstead+impact

and when running crew or solo I keep unused heads on grid

2 impact 2 hofstead

[latent crag]

what do you use the impact for?

[keen garden]

That way if I find a really good rock and phone in a friend, I already have the lasers

Impact has an extra module slot compared to the hofstead, so it has a higher power potential. Aka, I use it for bigger rocks

When solo I tend to just not use it

If the helix can’t break it I can’t break it

There is a mid range where the impact is better than the helix because it has a bigger green zone, but I just deal with the small green zone to avoid needing to run down stairs

[latent crag]

do you think i'd be fine just having 2 hofstedes then?

id be doing a mix of crew and solo play

probably mostly solo tho

[keen garden]

yea that should be fine for most stuff

I keep the impacts on grid for crewed gameplay because sometimes you just need a little more power than those hofsteads can give you when team breaking

[latent crag]

gotcha ty

is there anywhere to mine in nyx that isnt rockbreaker?

[keen garden]

Glacium ring is fine

Just take a few contracts to get a quantum marker somewhere on the same ring as levski

Or fly away from levski

[latent crag]

how far away from levski is it?

does it surround levski?

[keen garden]

Levski is within it

[abstract jetty]

Yes. I found some 960 quality iron recently about 50km from levski

[agile oyster]

How many hours of searching does it take to find 950+ quality ore ?

[keen garden]

0-10

I suppose it could take more than 10 if you are particularly inefficient or unlucky

[agile oyster]

So mining is just flying for hours now
It’s a bummer quality doesn’t show on normal ship scan the M50 would be perfect for searching for rocks

[keen garden]

🤷‍♂️

mining has been that ever since quant became useful for Polaris bits tbh

You target the good stuff and leave the junk

You can still mine for TDD value if you like, it’s unaffected by quality.

[agile oyster]

It didn’t usually take more than 45 minutes to find a good rock but I guess it’s not that different if you mining for money
But a least you only need like 1 scu to craft a lot of stuff

[keen garden]

That’s kinda what I mean, your definition of a good rock has just changed

finding a good quant rock pre crafting could take 45min or more easily

None of the others were “good” by that metric, but if you were mining for TDD value you could find a rock worth cracking in just a couple minutes

[cerulean bridge]

While the improved scanning QOL features are welcome, I can't wait for the day when we will have cool scanning abilities to help us locate the resources we need rather then flying around aimlessly searching. e.g. it'd be cool if a larger exploration ship could drop into orbit to scan the surface to help pinpoint where to focus your energies. Then more local scanning to pinpoint where to send the miners. They could do so much with scanning and scanning equipment on so many levels..

[keen garden]

I would like to see some kind of frequency tuning

Not necessarily a “I only want to see material x” precision, but maybe… cut out all frequencies above x and below y

[agile oyster]

Hopefully mining will be a lot better on Genesis planets you just have to find the place that has the good ore and keep coming back to that place in stead of rock being randomly scattered across planets

[keen garden]

Bit broken at the bottom end, “show me everything below 7k” and now you almost only see legendary rocks

[agile oyster]

Yeah we need to be able to set a filter on the scanner so you only see iron rocks of your looking for iron

[keen garden]

Frequency bands lets you use your knowledge of the game to improve your efficiency, for example if I know janalite only spawns in clusters of x to y, I can set my frequency band such that it’ll only see that range. Other non janalite will still appear if it’s in that range, but I’ll stop seeing raw ice.

[stray tide]

GUys , may be a dumb question , can golem mine hand minables?

[keen garden]

Technically it can

But it’ll almost always pop the rock and lose some material, and you still need to exit the ship to loot it

[stray tide]

ok got it !

Thanks!

[maiden iris]

how much faster can I unload a 640sku load in my c2 with an ATLS vs maxlift ?

does the main speed advantage come from moving 2 stacked skus at once ?

[keen garden]

It comes from being able to just point and click where the box will go then get rdy to grab the next while it’s moving

[maiden iris]

ohhh that sounds very useful! I just assumed it was like a ship tractor beam adding minimum change to speed

[keen garden]

Could be even faster if you don’t care about things landing on grid

[maiden iris]

Guess I need to go find an ATLS

[keen garden]

But, tbf maxlift is faster in that scenario too

[maiden iris]

maxlift is faster unloading a full c2?

[cerulean bridge]

ATLS is way faster. he meant you can move boxes faster (with either tool) if you don't care about landing things on grid. Not that maxlift was faster then ATLS.

[maiden iris]

ive been missing out lol, i have like 100 hours doing cargo hauls without ATLS

am I more suspectable to FPS pirates in atls , slower , no armor, cant shoot back?

[cerulean bridge]

yup pretty much.. ATLS is slow and you can't fight back while in it I don't think

You'd have to hop out to fight.. or bring a friend to cover you

[maiden iris]

i want an atls with bulletproof glass 🙂

then i can smack them down with boxes lol

[agile oyster]

I just want the cargo Atls with geo thrusters

[cerulean bridge]

it would be funny if you could fight by tossing boxes at pirates

[maiden iris]

is the CSV-SM good at all for loading a ship ?

[dawn urchin]

god no

They do so little they got their own meme in the april fools Hull Bee video

[maiden iris]

i was reading the bulletproof glass part for my pirate infested outposts and was interested

too bad they suck

oh god why does the atls move so slow

[cerulean bridge]

so that you can feel like you're Sigourney Weaver

[stray tide]

Quick question , if i mine 500 quality ore , will i get 500 quality refined product

[spare cloud]

That's how it works.

[stray tide]

ok thanks

is 500 good?

[keen garden]

You more or less can

Particularly if they leave their ship

[grizzled bronze]

haulers, miners and other trades of the verse, what do you have running in the background on your routes? Podcasts, music, streams, or are you rawdogging your trips in the verse?

[keen garden]

Usually hanging out with friends in discord, they talk too much for a video to run on the side

[grizzled bronze]

lmao fair enough

tryna find ways to pass time while repeating the same haul back and forth

[crisp iris]

I haven't used a prospector in a couple of years. Is there a current meta setup for the most efficient? With crafting it seems mining will be a bit more relevant.

[keen garden]

hofstead with reiger or helix with rieger + surge is what I run

[pearl juniper]

500 will craft items with the base stats, same as what you can loot or buy. Lower than 500 will craft worse items, above 500 give stat bonuses

[crisp iris]

Thank you. Does that do well for asteroids or mostly surface

[keen garden]

Either

[crisp iris]

Awesome. Thank you for the info

[crisp iris]

Is that a basic Rieger module or the Rieger C2 or C3?

[keen garden]

Best one you can afford

If money isn’t thing for you c3 on everything, but it pays for itself once you’re comfortable mining

[south basin]

Do caves only have one type of gem in them now?

[keen garden]

Nah

[south basin]

Finally found hadanite, can't turn in the mission for hand mined stuff. Put it on the elevator and it doesn't initiate the turn in. See you guys next patch!

[mild pumice]

I find those work best if you send them down in a box then move them to the left panel and bring up then send back down. A faff but pretty reliable

[tight hazel]

Would someone be able to explain why this rock won't even move?
Other head is an Impact II with 2 Reiger c3s and a Focus III, does that medium dificulty not take into considerationnthe resistance?

Okay so moving in closer than optimal it immediately started working

[keen garden]

Optimal is the line inside the orange area

The orange area is just the area within which the ship will take damage, but if shields are up you’ll generally be fine

Especially in a mole

[tight hazel]

Ahhh okay, thank you

[maiden iris]

is Taurus best anti pirate ship for loading cargo on planetary pyro outposts ?

my main threat seems to be FPS campers at the loading dock, and the grav turret seems rather safe

[keen garden]

probably something that would be a real pain to enter to turn off the power/shields, connies have easiliy accessible airlocks

[loud dove]

whats the best place to find 900+ iron and hephaestanite and how rare is it

[distant forge]

Take of two of those reiger modules and swap em for surge modules. 1 reiger two surge. The 22k mass is to much. I've broken 50k mass rocks with just those three modules together but you gotta be good with the laser and time it.

[tight hazel]

If one was to say... (hypothetically) get into a physcial altercation with the surface of the moon while flying a MOLE, and say, perhaps, the moon wins, what are the odds the ore bags will still be there, able to be scooped up with a tractor beam in a different ship? Or are those fuckers gone gone?

[distant forge]

Should be there. As long as no one is around to pick em up lol

Did it blow the ship up?

[tight hazel]

Well it certainly went boom, still a little hazy on the how, I was taking off but I don't think I was that close to the ground, no other ships nearby so I don't think it was the toob either

[distant forge]

Hypothetically if that has or ever will happen I usually don't go back unless it was 3/4 full of something really valuable. Lol hypothetically

Worth a shot to check either way. I personally haven't done it to know lol

[tight hazel]

I'll go and take a gander, cheers

[distant forge]

Let me know in case hypothetically it just so happens to be me next time 😂

[crisp iris]

Are there any materials that you mine usable for crafting in raw form does it all need to be refined?

[tight hazel]

Gems wouldn't need to be refined, other than that no

[crisp iris]

Great thank you!

I was reading something about quality of the materials. Is it worth refining mats with a quality lower than 500

[tight hazel]

Only for ammo, store bought items have a base qlty of 500, anything higher is buff, most people say less than 750 isn't worth grabbing

Personally I start grabbing around the 690 mark

[crisp iris]

Ah it looks like some of the stuff I have is 505-555 max. Still trying to figure this system out lol

[crimson mantle]

The RAFT has a tractor turret and no open doors/elevators when loading 🤔

[jovial matrix]

You can, if you hold right click while you've got a box tractored, the atlas will like "charge" its tractorbeam. Once you let go, it'll fling the box in whatever direction you're looking, and it can definitely kill people

[tight hazel]

You can also keep a flat piece of metal in your ship to live out your Captain America fantasies

[jovial matrix]

Arrow cockpits make great shields

[tall karma]

Is it even possible to attach mining gadgets to asteroids in EVA? The interface is absolutely broken if it ever worked.

[keen garden]

yes... ish

i've gotten them to "attach", floating a meter or two away from the rock

still affects the rock

generally best to avoid trying ot attach gadgets on asteroids

(kinda why i prefer surface)

[desert prism]

So, I have an XS ore deliver mission, calling for 2scu boxes. I’ve tried multiple times, on different servers, to turn in a 4scu box

It never registers for the contract

Is this another fun known issue?

[agile oyster]

Does pyro have better quality ore ?
And where is the good iron?
no iron worth mining on Magda

[lapis magnet]

Is there a workaround for the intro shubin mission not working?

Have the gems, can send down, but they won't count

[frail cypress]

Send down the gems in a box. Once it's down open the box and drag the gems to the left side, onto the elevator. Bring the elevator up, you should see the gems on it. Send the elevator down.
Some suggest waiting a few seconds between steps to make sure the server registers what's happening.

[lapis magnet]

didn't work

[frail cypress]

If you tried dropping them one by one from your backpack while standing on the elevator then sending it down, then try another region preferably a low pop server.

[lyric tusk]

ugh...so many damn Harvestables

[tall karma]

Trying to get Savrilium and that's only found in 2 spots, one of which is glaciem ring. We found one last night, and my mining partner and I couldn't crack it without gadgets (Sav is notoriously challenging), but I only managed to get one attached and we spent like an hour attempting. It was extremely frustrating.

[celest sable]

ANyone find a workaround to selling comoddities right now?

[celest sable]

You can use the starstrings language pack as a temp fix.

[errant kiln]

what ship should i get as a solo for mining, i just want crafting materials i dont care about the profits

[celest sable]

either golem or prospector

i like the prospector a lot better

[errant kiln]

Ok thank you

I’ll get that one

[celest sable]

it's upgradeable and has a full cabin.

[errant kiln]

Would a full haul of resources be able to craft a lot of stuff?

Idk how much resources crafting takes

[celest sable]

Yeah, crafting uses cSCU

[errant kiln]

Ok cool

[celest sable]

Like hundredths of SCU

1 SCU is enough to make like 40 items

[errant kiln]

Nice, thank you

Also can you still buy mole bags and put them on the prospector for more storage?

[foggy delta]

Is it normal to lose your shit in a Golem? Like I stored my Ship with 917 Gold yesterday and came on to go mine again but now its empty?

[celest sable]

I dont remember about which one can use the bigger bags

I think its the prospector that can have thebigger bags put on it

[errant kiln]

Yeah but idk if they patched that

[celest sable]

idk either 😐

[agile oyster]

Thanks I will download that
But I’m confused on how to
Do I just past the files from the zip into the live folder?

[celest sable]

It has step by step instructions on there if you scroll down with pictures and i believe also a video

[topaz burrow]

Is hauling dead in this patch then? Just tried a couple and the facilities were hostile

[latent crag]

does rock/ore type affect optimal laser range or is it dependent purely on the laser itself?

[raven canyon]

Anyone have any issues with mining gadets when astroid mining?

[pliant temple]

which minerals do i look for on planet surface to mine with the GEO? i know janalite is good but what else is good?

[celest sable]

Hadanite

[agile oyster]

Mining kind of sucks now
It took 2 hours to find .09 scu of 935 iron
And the stupid refinery took 0.06 of it

[foggy delta]

atleast u found that after 2 hours smh

[agile oyster]

There is definitely better ore in pyro
The first iron rock I scanned was 870 quality
Best I found after an hour and half on Magda was 750

[maiden iris]

nope, been doing it a lot

if you are hostile to a specific rep try doing a quest to gain rep back

[keen garden]

optimal range is purely laser based. but the orang area that shows in the same UX is rock/material based. This is the shatter range, the range within which your ship (and players outside) will take damage

[foggy delta]

Where did you look for Iron? All I found was this after like 5 hours of mining over 2 days

[keen garden]

This is what i got from an afternoon of prospector mining on calliope

[keen garden]

get a language pack

[foggy delta]

Whats that

[limpid sluice]

Long story short, instead on translating the game into another language, you can just make a language pack to edit the words in the game to whatever you want

I think saleemike recently highlighted one on his stream that's become very popular

[hollow sedge]

Can any give me some money please!! I need some for a ship my user is KING_REESE04

Got 877 iron and 834 hephaestanite from monox after 2 hours

[verbal lintel]

Any trick to getting your ship to scan a rock when it wont highlight it in mining mode?

never mind I dont think these rocks are real, can fly directly into them

[drifting tinsel]

how does a c1+atls pair?

is it good?

[long frost]

The grind is real

[grizzled bronze]

I'm looking to get a big hauler, would you guys say the C2 for most cargo space or the M2 for the increased survivability?

[spare cloud]

You're rarely ever going to need the toughness of the M2 doing only cargo.

So unless you plan to do some PvE with it and don't want to buy multiple Hercules, I'd get the C2.

[opal valve]

For cargo hauling contracts, how important is the timer? I was just going 6 of the member rank contracts in the raft and didn’t meet the timer for 2 of them but it still submitted. Is that timer just to pick up?

[opaque dock]

does installing a higher pip radar help with detecting signals on scan, like ores?

[opaque dock]

inert material filtering module works on fracturing or on extracting?>

[round inlet]

guys how many scu is a ship ammo container? i went into a place to collect some cargo but there was some extra cargo around and i lost count on which were mine

[sonic fiber]

Fcking mining missions dont work

See you in 4.8

[grizzled bronze]

ah alr, i'd seen some ppl recommending the m2 in case of pirate attacks or "all c2 players eventually get an m2 after one too many pirates and they've wasted their money on the c2 first" so i figured i'd double check

but it seems way more expensive and not too worth it

[spare cloud]

If pirates attack you (once every decade), the M2 will just make your death longer.

[grizzled bronze]

Ah fair enough

yeah i only think i've been attacked by pirates once and that was when I just started playing the game in my cutter, terrified me tho lmao didn't know what was going on

[covert dome]

my first experience in an asgard was getting hacked during free fly and griefers teleporting into my ship so i feel that

[spare cloud]

If they're idiots they won't have a QED and then you may the M2 may make it so you can escape more comfortably.

But really if there are pirates there's a QED and you're SOL.

[covert dome]

FWIW, my org mate just got pirated in an Asgard and sat behind the glass waiting for them to board one by one and die before self destructing and taking more out with him, then going back to kill more pirates aren't always good pirates

[grizzled bronze]

the jump from 12m to 28m for slight more survivability doesn't seem to worth it, but from what i can tell the M2 is more blacked out and looks sick tho.. 16m worth of aesthetics 🤤

[agile oyster]

Found 993 Hephaestanite

[foggy delta]

How much did you find

Only 0.13

[pearl juniper]

anyone found a decent source for high quality aluminum? None of the moons or planets in Pyro list aluminum as available. I'm sure I can find it in Stanton, but at theoretically lower quality

Heyo there ! 👋
What's the best mining head for prospector ? I'm too lazy to buy modules but I would like to buy a better mining head cause I have the base one and for example I cannot mine Laranite rocks, same for big rocks I can't mine those :/

There really is no best, plusses and minuses to all of them. Helix has the most power, but short range and tiny charge window. And pretty high minimum power. And now with how much you have to re-crack rocks into smaller pieces, that second break is going to be pretty difficult with a Helix I expect. I like the Hofstede for a middle ground. Big charge window, nice bonus against resistance, bonus to charge rate as well.

kk I will check that, thanks a lot !

Also, what are the best ores to mine for maximum profit ?

[agile oyster]

Is hadanite only in caves?

[agile oyster]

Never mind found it but of course it’s on the side of a cliff

[cerulean dove]

quantanium to sell to players

[sharp flicker]

ookk ! and if we talk not dangerous ores ? XD

[cerulean dove]

then idk about uec/hour in 4.7

I've only been mining for quality to put into crafting so far this patch

Whats a dangerous Ore

But best way is prob to farm high Quality mats in general for Player Eco not Quant tho since it isnt needed for BPS

[cerulean dove]

quant is still needed for polaris bits

and quality doesnt matter so it's more steady income than looking for 900+ quality iron or whatever

[sharp flicker]

Like Quantanium can explode no ?

And then what would be your go to spots for mining ? Like best spots for high values resources and best ores to get with high quality for crafting ?

[foggy delta]

They removed that for whatever reason this patch

[cerulean dove]

pyro tends to have higher quality stuff but you'll still see things in the 200s & 300s there. It'll still take a while to find 900+ of whatever you're looking for

I heard that was a bug in one of the PTU builds but it's fixed in live

Any tips for getting into my shielded mole that's hovering a few hundred meters off the surface of a moon with gravity?

[foggy delta]

Use another Ship to push it down

[foggy delta]

I barely found two things over 800 in 7 hours of Mining..

[cerulean dove]

Unlucky. The highest I've found is 969 copper so they exist

and be sure to upgrade your radar for higher RS sensitivity
