I believe area 18 and Loreville for rentals
Any mining place
With the changes you should probably try and find the most inhospitable planets to spawn
So how much does the vehicle make an hour?
I need to know all details.
But I was clearing anywhere between 120-140k an hour
Before 3.11
Shouldn’t be too different now if you’re focused on hadanite deposites
Ah so do scans point it out?
Point what out?
The type of rocks.
If you scan them fully yes
Right click will scan locations
Left click will scan rocks
Once you’re close enough
How does the collection process work?
Swap to collect then leave the beam on over the rocks (purple) until you generate enough suction to pull them up
Takes anywhere between 2-10 seconds
Fancy.
Also I’d recommend setting aside 15k for Novikov or Pembroke armors
Would area 18 be a good mining spot?
You can find decent locations on Microtech. But as I mentioned, as per 3.11 the spawn rate of certain types of mineables increases with how inhospitable a planet is
Hmm.
(The harder it is to survive on the surface the rarer the mineral)
So Lorville somewhere.
Hot plate planet sure
How much does the mining gun make?
As in the greycat multitool? That entirely depends on what you mine and how much
Like how much is one rock of laranite worth?
You can't really calculate that
What’s the most you can make from one rock.
Again you can't really calculate it, there's a lot of variables to consider
For real what’s the average.
Average Prospector run if you don't touch Quantanium is around 80k
Yeah if you buy the greycat multitool, you can't mine Laranite or Agricium
Ah ok.
You can only mine Hadanite, Aphorite or Dolivine
I will try YELA to mine.
If you're going FPS mining, you'll need to go to caves on planets or moons
What does FPS stand for?
First Person Shooter
@hollow sedge If you feel like it, you can gauge the relative "ore richness" of locations here: https://sc-trade.tools/mining
Is it good to have a second armor set for mining?
@coarse cape
Actually, good to have two separate sets. The hot environment suit, and the cold environment suit. Can get both at Tammany and Sons in Lorville, ~15k each
You can't get both at Lorville
Looking for people for cargo
Dm me
What planet has the best surface rocks for hand mining?
Or moon.
FPS mineable rocks on the surface of moons/planets are very rare
FPS mining is done in caves
Caves aren't marked, you accept investigation contracts that lead you to a cave
I don’t get those.
ROC still decent in 3.11? Ik ore gen got a nerf but not to what extent
looks like no ammo @hollow sedge
It uses ammo?
@hollow sedge What's your SC handle?
Aw man.
It doesn't use ammo
then what is the 0?
Its bugged out, but I have a spare multitool you can have
lmao
I just bought it.
nms
How do I turn it on?
You need the mining attachment
go to #flight-combat-racing
Oh there’s an attachment?
Yes
Does it come with the gun?
ROC still decent in 3.11? IK ore gen got a nerf but not to what extent
;^(
No @hollow sedge
I can give the spare one to you
How?
trade
In game?
We can meet up in the same server and then assuming it doesn't freak out, I can just equip the mining attachment onto my tool and then drop it
Is it good to get aphorite when mining?
Yes
Nice thanks
What do you guys think a Prospector could make on average an hour?
I'm just about to head to PO, just picking up the new weapons at GrimHEX @hollow sedge
What server are you in?
We can party launch together, my server's full
Going to main menu.
What's your SC handle?
What does that mean?
Alright, you can add me as a friend from the main menu, my SC handle is Doctor-Introvertsius
I sent you a party invite
I got it.
So you want me to give you the gun I bought so you can give me the one with the attachment correct?
I’m in some port.
Port ollisar.
Want to meet up some where?
How do I open party chat?
Nvm.
I just got a cutlass black. Should I even bother running cargo for profit? Does it have enough room?
@mossy meteor i was pulling roughly 80k/hr on prospector
How do you take minerals out of the ROC?
Cargo hatch on the back
Also where can you buy it?
I have 200K when I used to have 40K
Thanks man.
You helped me a lot.
You don’t have to take the roc in a ship to sell the stuff right?
I hope not.
No
Good.
Ok now how do I scan with the ROC?
press tab then hold right click until the circle completes then release right click
Help I can’t flip the roc back over.
Arial is best planet for mining with roc?
Ok let’s talk the ROC and Freelancer. I know it doesn’t fit properly but has anyone been able to jank it in? I’m curious
Speaking of ROC. Since Arial isn't the hotspot anymore. Can I now be able to viably mine anywhere?
It fits
Holy shit I’m surprised how well that worked
Very minor jank, just be careful going up the ramp but once the front tires are entering the actual cargo area gun it a little to get past the ramp hydraulics.
Tip: there is a line painted on the interior door leading out of the cargo hold in the Freelancer; make sure tour reticule is centered while in the ROC (press F and release) and line that up exactly with the line in that door
When taking it out, reverse immediately after turning on the engine so it doesn’t start sliding; don’t be careful backing it out, just full reverse immediately.
@hollow sedge as I mentioned earlier, the fix seems to be to get in and power it down. It should right itself
Ok I have been looking around for hours for a hot spot for medium node, but I can’t find non.
@hollow sedge Yelp works. Aberdeen and Ariel are also good spots.
on aberdeen can i call the roc?
anywhere that has a Platinum Bay(the blue building at the outpost) will let you spawn it
Is there a point in aberdeen with the blue house?
I can't remember tbh
but I believe so
I remember spawning a ROC at one of the outposts in 3.10
Anderson should have it
After updating, me Helix is gone on Prospector... And can't modify ship as it's locked...? Any suggestions??
Roc is buggy atm tho
It will bounce around and do awful things on you.
When you spawn it in, it can be floating in the air.
It just shot me through the core of Aberdeen and into space
I have been working for 7 hours, and haven’t made a profit because everything I do blows up in my face.
I keep having 30000 errors, my ROC keeps flipping, and it just self destructed for no reason which is a terrible design for a damn rover.
What’s the best mining facility on Hurston for my ROC?
it's pretty random bud, just fly around and scout.
ive been doing titanium from handek to lorville for a while but does anyone know anything else for better profit?
just spawned a fresh ROC, can't get the mining laser to fire. Settings are as they were, can't figure out the issue.
Guys, AM I right if I do trade route for example HDMS-Bezdek -> CBD-Lorville and bezdek has no laranite its just bad luck and have to find other route or am I doing something wrong ? Can SCtools show me available comodity in real time?
Hey there, I'm denym and I started recently doing cargo hauls since mining by hand took more than just my ingame assets from me. Yesterday I started out with my Freelancer and humble 20_000 UEC to haul for some profit when suddenly I got randomly disconnected (not even 30k) while waiting to sell my Medical Supplies at Bud's Growery. Naturally I woke up at Port Olisar and had left 8 UEC in my pockets. I'm hereby asking for a small loan of 10_000 UEC to start over again. I hope someone will be able to provide me that service. o/
Feelsbadman @sullen sand Ill help you out
hey wants to play/
anyone have a recommendation of where to mine with the roc?
Give Arial a try @spare mulch
anyone have a recommendation of where to mine with the roc?
@spare mulch
Damn useful tool. The creator is here often too. I find Aberdeen, on the side that doesn't have a lot of QT beacons, has been quite profitable for me so far, but my experience is limited
I’m making more money off FPS mining than using the ROC.
@mossy meteor @hollow sedge thank you so much that helps me gettign back on my feet 🙂
Dude I got 250K credits worth of rocks from mining.
anyone know where the illegal trade terminals are at the new stations? Specifically Everus Harbor.
anyone else notice that the ARGO MOLE UI is kinda bugged
the main one
you can't see the percentages of each ore
if everybody could pls upvote this issue
it's a really annoying bug
rule 6 and #bug-hunt-chat my dude
my bad, didn't know sorry
Guys anyone want's to do some roc runs with me?
Hey,
If I go somewhere that’s farther away from where I mined will the value go up?
no, right now mineral prices are the same everywhere
Best argo mining location?
What’s the cheapest space mining vehicle?
The prospector
Bruh.
I now have 430K 300I here we go.
Nice
Just from FPS mining.
That’s pretty good
I just wish I could sell it out of my backpack faster.
Hmm I sell the dolivine, and the other minerals value goes up.
That’s cool.
The values don't change
ok WTF. Thanks to the honorable Donators (@uncut krakenie @hollow sedge ) I was able to get my cargo hauling business up and running again. Unfortunately the QT decided the best way to get to a point is through a planet... I'm kinda done with this game tbh. Just FYI Cellin OM1 to Hickes Research Outpost seems to broken....
Yeah.
That’s happens.
@sullen sand if u need a couple more credits just send me a text
yeh kinda 😦 This time I woke up with 2 UEC. If it doesn't hurt your pocket since I can't promise to pay back in time I would appreciate another loan
is the QT Planet hit just a rare bug or something I have to expect more often?
It never happen to me
So no idea
I built it up to 50K for a 30000 error to happen...

@sullen sand cargo is not worth the risk to make money. Try deliveries or mining, bounty hunting, ANYTHING but cargo, with every new update it takes a few patches to resolve bugs and then the game is enjoyable to play again,
Hey don’t spend all your money on buying a trade.
Use like half.
Or less.
Just in case.
That’s what I did.
made enough money off ROC mining to buy a cutty and prospector and still have 1,000,000 left over, no investment to worry about losing to 30k or bugs
with all the roc bugs now i'm not even bothering to play until they release a patch or two to stabilize 3.11, not worth my time and frustration
Yeah unfortunately I took the risk to pay back my loan. I have to find some better strategies. And mining is currently no option because I need a ship first and mining by hand killed me already 5 times.
30K is stupid.
take the freelancer out and grind those 8k delivery missions
though about this but getting to a constellation with that seems impossible. So I though I give hauling a try and I get aroudn to see alot of locations
i miss the old new babbage rooftop deliveries, cleared about 100k in a run which was great for starting out. hope they bring them back one day
@sullen sand sent a friend request. I'll send ya some cash, go rent a prospector for a day and make some cash
@verbal cargo thank you very much. I will do that. I will check some guides and helpers to not screw this up
Same, @sullen sand , i will send a friend request and some money
@hollow sedge Also a big thank you to you too
Does the space station orbiting crusader have food?
@hollow sedge should be food in the gun shop, water in casaba
If the water in casaba is empty to outside and on the other hub
i think i just lost 700k in the most shameful way
don't say cargo 😂
oof, thats a tough punch to the gut
it stored on the moon with cargo in it
whoever was complaining about QT into moons earlier, that happened to me the other day.
got QT'd into an asteroid chasing a bounty
30K YOOORAY!
you cant claim a ship on a moon right?
@sullen sand Your welcome to join me and friends on a Trading journey so you can save up some cash
UwU
@mossy meteor thanks for the offer I'm finished for tonight but added you to join up sometimes 🙂
Besides Crusader, has anyone had any luck ROC mining for Hadanite somewhere else?
Arial around Hurston used to spawn exclusively hadanite
It doesn't anymore, but I doubt it got removed fully. Unsure if it has anything special like higher spawn rates or not
Arial was useful because despite how few and far between nodes were they were always hadanite
Now you're better off just going yo Daymar and filling up your hold with whatever you find
Takes like fourty minutes yo fill up like that for 100-150k
Regarding the prospector, I assume changing saddlebags still aren't implemented?
Don't believe so
Where's good to ROC mine currently? actually, is it viable to mine on planets?
I'm hearing some bad reports of the whole ROC experience being buggy, but if you can make it work then Arial is still good, and Amberdeen (sp?) possibly. But lots of bugs.
You can sort of mitigate the bug with parking by engaging and disengaging the mining laser
But some folks aren't getting it to work at all, some can't get it to pick up the goodies
I couldn't get anything to go well except figuring out the parking game
Am I missing something? Currently in the biz district at Lorville, Prospector filled up on minerals.
Ahhhh alright thanks @dense crescent
np, good luck!
Is there a list of everywhere that hadanite exists?
Whats the best thing to do with a rented prospector atm? Im just looking for diamond and titanium at daymar but i dunno
Daymar, Yela, Cellin, and the asteroids around Grim Hex are all good spots
Look for laranite and agricium when you can get it (rare) and diamond, titanium, and gold otherwise but only in pure quantities (it’s worth it to pick up a rock that maybe only has 50% laranite but not gold, you want near 100% purity for more common stuff)
Not sure I’d mine anywhere near Grim Hex at the moment
Is there a list of everywhere that hadanite exists?
@tacit mauve
Right here: https://sc-trade.tools/mining
And for the record, Dolovine is not as good, but it is still stupidly valuable compared to anything that can be mined with a ship.
not really cargo or mining...but does anyone know how the Terrapin scanning chair is SUPPOSED to work?
right now it gives you the turret UI without putting you in a remote turret so you're stairing at the pilots chair unable to do anything but hey, you got the turret UI....
i dont think the scanning/pathfinding thing has been added to any of the scanning ships yet, they are all just placeholders
Holy moly ROC mining is straight impossible for me lol
My ROC's collision is completely broken
No matter where or how I spawn it in, it's clipping or floating
Gonna have to wait for a fix on that
Can you still land at the microtech garage outside and sell?
I tried but the kiosk gave me an error
Yeah ROC mining is full of bugs. Avoid. Assuming it doesn't noclip into the floor it may also just randomly despawn (and you can't retrieve it from vehicle console until you character reset). My third and final ROC run had it just not turn up on the console so I couldn't sell its full load of hadinite. Stick to prospector mining, it's less consistent but quicker and of course actually works.
What do you mean exactly by less consistent? @turbid bay (I'm a noob jw)
@earnest halo Mining in the ROC is more consistent because the places where the best ore is located, are places where it is one of two possible ores. There is also the fact that FPS and ROC mining do not include "inert material" which takes up space in your cargo and is worth 0.02 UEC per unit. This means at the end of a ROC mining run, you should be able to have 100% Hadinite every time
Prospector mining on the other hand there are about 3/4 desirable ores. Inert material is a factor unless you nitpick which only adds time thus making it ineffective at times. Etc
Hope that explains
It does thank you very much!
Yea sadly ROC mining just should be avoided for now. I've been able to work around several of the bugs, but I can't get the damn thing to fire.
actually nitpicking in the prospector saves time, and maximizes profit
it's in your best interest to ignore anythingthat's not agrecium or better
I'm also having the issue of the ROC not firing (outside of armistic zones), while e.g. laster throtteling works. Is there a known workaoround for it?
How is cargo running these days? Still have a 90% chance of losing everything to server hiccups?
How is cargo running these days? Still have a 90% chance of losing everything to server hiccups?
@severe peak In my personal experience I get a lot less 30ks, but there are still a bit too many other issues that will fuck you.
For one I have experienced a lot more client crashes
Today I did like 15 cargo runs without problems
I just had a 30k not delete my load, felt gud
so.... watched a few tutorials, rented a prospector... and turns out that now that you can't modify rental ships at all, it's actually a bit pointless
is there any point to renting a prospector right now? any idea how I could reasonably make back the rental fee? :p
Just fps mine up to maybe 150k to 200k and then use the freelancer to run cargo until you can afford a bigger cargo, or, a prospector of your own @burnt sedge
I'm in the same boat as you, followed the same video probably, now I'm broke fps mining again lol
ROC would be a suggestion but, it's way bugged rn, always clips into the ground
I've got almost 100k and an avenger titan
guess I should run combat to 200k
Hopefully won't take too long to get a prospector of my own! 😢
is the earnings of the roc gonna get nerfed soon? im contemplating melting my prospecter for 1
Well they already nerfed the ROC
rly? dam friend made a bomb off it yesterday so guess im melting my prospecter
whats the best location for prospector mining?
whats the best location for prospector mining?
@gritty zephyr
Check that. Avoid the area around Crusader for now, there's a lot of people hanging out there for the 50 kills challenge and the prospector is not good in a fight.
ah great, full freelancer, go to dock at area 18, while landing, I just 'teleport' inside area 18, apparently no ship on pad....
not turning out to be the best of days
Mining laser option is greyed out, any workaround?
did they remove the hangar version of this exploit as well?
Probably
When they fixed the exploit that allowed you to hotswap components in flight
yeah you can't put a new mining laser on a rented prospector anymore, which makes rented versions useless
found this out the hard way earlier
did hand mining improve?
I wonder if you can handmine your way to a ROC and then mine your way to a prospector with that
@ornate rock I don't think hand mining changed + apparently the ROC is very glitchy atm
is it possible to dump excess stuff on prospector or not yet?
you can jettison cargo, but that's an all or nothing choice
and I think only works if you have some volatile cargo (or at least the game thinks you do)
Anyone have any idea where the refinery terminal in area 18 is?
ty
@burnt sedge why are you looking for the terminal there
You definitely should not be trying to refine there
trying to sell the stuff in the cargo of a ship I can't get into for some reason
ANyone has cutlass black? I have a ROC and if we could mine together we can share 50/50
...which is not a great bug. Went to land in area 18, teleported inside out of my ship. Apparently the ship wasn't destroyed, can call it, but it seems to be missing various key parts and I can't board it... what.
store it and redeploy
Tried that twice now 😦 have even logged out and back in too
Can't do Cutlass/ROC atm I think, everything disappears on deploying ROC from cutlass
Well they already nerfed the ROC
@pallid temple how so?
Any of you guys currently in yela Belt and experienced a explosion?
no idea what the ship was. some redish with a separate mining seat
You realize we'd have to also be in your server right
Trying to ROC mine, but my ROC never picks up the rocks, what should i do
the ROC now takes several seconds to pick up gems
depending on server performance as well
I'm trying to mine with the stock prospector right, And i keep coming across deposits that for some reason i can't mine. Even with 100% laser i cant seem to break the deposits. Is this a mechanic of sorts? Any help would be appreciated
certain minerals can't be mined with a stock laser, you need to upgrade it
the only thing people are trading this patch are kills 
don't think much has changed, the only big change was the removal of two hidden terminals making slam trading impossible
^Haven't flown into any planets with Quantem yet so thats that
Okay so I'm now 4 hours into my rented prospector. 20k income and died twice from pvp. How do you actually make money with a stock prospector? The only thing minable are low quality Corrundrum and Aluminium astroids.
planet mining
try daymar or yela in the crusader system @sullen sand
@sullen sand look for rocks with less then 4000 mass and 30-40 resistance
I'd not go mining around crusader right now
yep and they are corrundrum and aluminium. After 2 hours of scanning I settled with a 5% copper 70^ corrundrum and made 5k out of it
I check out planet mining now but I dont think that prospector rent should be recommended. If you own one with beefed up laser then its sure a nice ship for mining
are the agricium rocks too big for stock or just not finding any?
cellin supposed to have nice laranite deposits
best I found was titanium/diamon but was to heavy
and bit annoying that approx 40% if the astroids you find are not scannable 🙂
Is it true that an exploded cargo ship full of cargo will drop boxes in 3.11?
and it only drops like 10% anyway
Less than 10
in tiny boxes, so you'd be trying to EVA that into your ship forever, no one would ever bother doing that... except they are very bored.
The one trade run I tried had been maxed out, so do your research and go off the beaten path for other materials.
@digital thorn cant wait for physicalized damage
Also what mining is there around crusader thats good
Regarding the roc not picking up gems, I usually just "swipes" the laser over the gems back and forth and then it picks it up in scoops. Takes a few seconds tho. But it's alright, got 100k in hadanite/dolomite in 15-20 min with it.
And since it can export out the cargo hold in a box and store it on the ship, it's no cargo limit, really.
anyway to QT to a friend in the party thats jumped out the ship and floating in space?
@soft rain let him die. Thats what he gets
what do u mean let him die? then he has to spawn waaaaay back in loreville
But heres an answer
Qt back the way you came
And cancel the qt to jump out near him. Watch the speed
With skill you can jump out of qt on him
@soft rain
I use it to jump out of qt in the secret asteroid field
What does a ROC fit in? Cutlass?
Yes
Cutlass is good for it. And if, like me, you manage to get it turned sideways in the hold, you can open the side door and just go out that way!
Any short cargo runs around Microtech creating profit?
All of them
@wet trench https://sc-trade.tools/trade-routes
You can select all of the mT locations and only search for routes in that area if you want
Caterpillar still useless?
If it's rented, or it's not stored, you cannot modify the loadout
hey can anyone give me some tips on making money i have no clue what im doing and youtube videos arent helping much
Where can I find the updated spreadsheet for mining ores?
Hey all, im just wondering about this website i found called sc trade tools
there is a mining section on the website and it tells me the best place to mine is aberdeen?
but i havent hear a single miner say aberdeen is good to mine on lol
so im really confused
similarily it says the best place for roc mining is also aberdeen 🤔
like is this information wrong or something?? or is aberdeen actually a good place to mine
Im thinking of buyiing a roc but i dont know where i would be able to use it any tips?
What site is that@golden eagle
So is the ROC really better than the upgraded Prospector?
In terms on money per time spent
Yes
Just FYI a Prospector full with Laranite and soem Quantium is not fast enough to stop when requested and when it stopped there will be no scan and the 20k fine bascially eats up your profit 🙂
Is there a way of getting un-scannable asteroids somehow active? They just don't turn yellow when I find them and mining scanner does not pop. Because I'm now 20 asteroids in and none of them are scannable
Nevermind its an acknowledged issue. Just another reason to avoid renting a Prospector
I can get unscannable asteroids to scan by exiting the ship and then re-entering. It doesn't fix it for long though.
looking for a partner who can scout with his cutlass black and I do the mining with ROC
We will share 50/50 if that's allright
where is the caves located? Is there some missions that lead to them i heard?
cant even get my roc into the freelancer anymore...
https://starcitizen.tools/IronBand
Bought this cool helmet, guess for cave mining. But cant outfit it. Is just a static object per now?
Its a clothing item, not an armour item
So you need to remove your flight suit... which you need on to survive in space
@golden eagle in context that chart kinda shows the total value in minerals on each planet, but there are other factors to consider.
Aberdeen is really mountainous. Even in flat areas roc minables are sometimes on a hill which can be really annoying as the fractured minerals fall downhill and go everywhere. You also need the pembroke armor to survive.
That said, Ive only tried Aberdeen since 3.11 live and Im still able to bring in full Hadenite hauls in my Roc.
@golden eagle Those charts are correct: Hurston moons are the best places to mine overall if you mine every mineral.
If you want to focus on the high-end stuff, or quantainium, you can filter the commodities on the left and see if the other places are best.
General recommendation I've used in the past to add on to that: anything less valuable than Hephestanite (normally I don't go below Agricium myself) is really not worth mining if you have other options. The SC Trade Tools sheet has a list of ore sell prices, you can see for yourself how the various ores stack up. 8aUEC per unit vs 24? No contest
did they changed value for mining? I made a run got agricium quant and laranite for like 45% and the rest with various minerals and only got 21k from it
with 60% agricium I was doing around 60k some month ago
@crimson mantle any plans on including gravity wells?
awesome tool by the way
what minerals combined in the prospector cargo makes the quantanium dissipate really fast?
@fickle zephyr Do you mean the Lagrange points?
They're in there already :D
The concentration of mineral is just lower than on planets, but with filters you can see where's best to mine while staying in space.
i have selected every type and every location with "only selection" and i still dont get them in the bottom of the list even
If you click the link you can see what I did to make them show up in the locations filter.
I'll try to think of something to make it more usable, thanks for the feedback.
Ah I see :)
The website only shows the top 12 answers to stay optimized and keep the database load manageable.
I guess burying that info at the bottom of https://sc-trade.tools/home#faq isn't quite good enough 😄
Correct. Levski is located directly in it.
how can it have so low values?
Mostly because of ore density: on a planet, there's rocks every 3km, but in space it's more like every 10-20km
I'm not sure how their probability volumes work, but that's what the data shows :/
makes sense
Mining in space is actually quite profitable still
yes
and griefer safe
i love that it has accurate trading info also
gallog is a mess
Thanks, I do my best 🙂
great work and thank you
space mining with a party where one mining ship goes back and forth to the refinery with the quantinium while the other(s) find and fracture quantinium and picks upp 100% chunks of laranite when there is time
its effective when the party beacons work
have a mole go back and forth and a couple of prospectors go scanning and fracturing
Is asteroid mining worth ?
What is the intended restock rate of a trading console?
@hollow sedge right I see. Would u recommend arial instead?
Hello citizen! Are you tired of getting shafted by your mining org? Look no further than joining my ship, today. We're taking off in about 15 minutes in the Argo Mole. What it lacks in defenses it makes up for in sweet sweet mineral capacity. So hop on board and mine with us, where you'll make a fair 25% cut, every time!
Life cannot be guaranteed. Some citizens may experience vision loss, deafness and other life threatening diseases, like death on this vessel
whats a good planet to mine hadenite rocks on daymar is too buggy at the moment i keep getting server kicked when on that planet
@odd rose Looking at https://sc-trade.tools/mining, Aberdeen and Arial
@mortal cargo Yes, asteroid mining is quite profitable
@earnest halo You can see how much inventory refreshes per shop here: https://sc-trade.tools/shops
thanks this is very helpful
what should I mine and where ?
I'm on that site, it tells you the max amount the console can have, and how long that total takes to restock, but it doesn't give the amount per increment, and how long those increments are
For example if you empty a shop, and wait a while, it doesn't go instantly back to fully stocked, there's a timer or something that it refills a portion of the full stock
I'm trying to plan out trips that might involve a little waiting time next to a console and buying as it refills (to compete with the other local traders)
So like, example would be: 5-10% of max stock every 10 -15 minutes? Just wondering that type of value if anyone knows how to find it
sc tools shows this information. Left side click Miscellaneous and then Show stock details. You get something like Max 80,000 units + 1,300/min
That's the max stock over max time
I know that part, that's not what I'm looking for, ty though
The console doesn't just wait 1300 minutes and then suddenly have 80,000 units, there's increments that it slowly builds up
Its 1300 per minute up to 80,000
so 10 minutes its 13,000
At least that's how I read it. so I know full stock is after approx. 1 hour
I guess you can go over to sc-tools and their github and request a feature to show it in percentage.
its not exact though like i waited 15 minutes at one console and it produced ~350, then waited another 15 minutes, nothing, another 10 went by and it produced 1220
is that server tick issues ? or something intended?
another 12 minutes passed and it just produced 1280
so maybe its just partially random? or maybe thats just buggy behavior idk
Keep in mind, stock is shared across servers. You're not the only one trading at that console
is that for sure? ive server hopped to avoid empty stock consoles before..
@golden eagle I did try Arial but only for a little bit. I like to keep searching until I find 4+ hadenite which I couldn’t find on arial. Im not sure if thats efficient or not. I do find groups 7-9 hadenites rocks on Aberdeen but only after searching for a good while. So Id pick the planet based on your style/patience. Im not sure which is more $$/hour.
ah i see
i was mainly asking for prospector mining lol
but thanks for the response 😄
So i just crashed, while at a trading console on the moon Cellin, when i logged back on, Im back at Port Olisar, the trading console at port olisar doesnt have the ability to sell my cargo I had on my freelancer :/
I went back to the same trading console, my ship isnt here, but, the console here recognizes my freelancer and says my stuff is still in my ship
is there.. any way to save it?
If i go claim it back to port olisar (where i took off from initially) will it be inside?
If you do a claim, you lose cargo
Pretty much sadly.
If you can sell it from the terminal that says it's recognized, do that. Trade risk is very high right now
i bought the stuff from that console :/
unfortunately
so i cant sell it back
so the ROC just wont work for me.. it always clips into the ground or gets stuck in a wheely
and cargo missions risk me losing all my money which ive done 3 times now xD
so how do you make money right now in the game ?
Can always run combat missions, that's my go to
Also, rule of thumb: never invest more than 50% of your money at a time into cargo. That way if you lose, you don't lose everything
Lol yeah I did that twice, once cause of a server crash and once because I was busy eating breakfast and crashed into area 18 when trying to land at the space port
Cargo guys just as a poll because I've not run cargo in a long time, lost it one too many times, how often are you losing cargo to bugs alone these days?
so is console stock shared across all servers? or just regions? like would EU have the same quantity as USA?
It's all servers across all regions
then isnt the stock kinda getting low for the playerbase? at least at peak hours a lot of em are just all waiting games
2 or 3 players at one spot
waiting to hit the console first
Do they want us to float above outposts on moons and blow up any player that comes near it like its Rust ? lol
does anyone find a region that has less 30k crashes or it dont matter? seems like whenever i roc mine (server knows im tryna make $$$) i get 30 to 40% full and i get a 30k crash. alot this week
I found setting region to “Best” rather than to whatever you want to play on gives more stability overall, only had one 30k last night compared to the four or five the night before
Guys, any idea why my multitool won't mine? I'm a noob. I have the rucksack but it told me I have no inventory armor. Left click doesnt do anything
i had to drop mine then pick it up for it to work
but it didnt work cause the rock was too big i think
lol
oh wait no i didnt know i had to mouse wheel to adjust the laser at the time and gave up after nothign happened
but it was still a big rock
Works now, had to log out, back in, unequip, requip
Why wont the back tires of my ROC stay on the ground
?
this doesnt happen to you guys every single time you try to go mining?
thats not moving btw
thats completely stationary nothing being clicked or held
And it does this to me, every single time I spawn one, but people keep saying it's working just fine for them and they're making 100 to 200k/hr using it
Something I'm doing wrong?
Ive heard people call it,then imediatly store it and recall it to get around this bug
But the arm likes to bug out
i just tried that and now its driving, INTO the ground , by itself on the pad
im just gonna try a different location to spawn it from, ive tried HDMS anderson every time
maybe thats my issue
yeah i tried to do it on Daymar and had that issue too
the ground just schlooped it out of existence.
I got one working on daymar earlier today
Pure luck
Have not experienced any changes in the bug's frequency when going to other sites, sadly @earnest halo
It might honestly be a case of respawning/'rerolling' till you get a functional one
lol i finally got a good roll
then i accidentally hit it with my freelancer and it flew off into the stars
okayyy , finallyy, a sucessful run, ran out of water though and died but thats okay, got the hadanite home lol
would be sweet to be able to sell all the items u buy in game. for example a Helix laser
Only solution is a character reset or go back to the exact PB pad you stored it on
This is part of the reason why I say to stay away from ROC mining for now
Until they patch it
I even bought a 2nd ROC and the same thing happened
Just stick to prospector
Anyone know how to move the HUD/Screens? or is it not possible. Cant see all the numbers in the front laser in the Argo :/ I can see them better in extraction mode. But still.. not very good interface at the moment. Good HUD on the side turrets
Use the scanner on tab, hold M1 while looking at the deposit
Dont use the mining laser scanner
@earnest halo I just got a ROC, got any tips? Never tried mining till now
@north temple
- Try https://sc-trade.tools/mining to find mining spots
- After loading the ROC into a vehicle, turn off the weapons to prevent the mining arm to glitch
- If the ROC glitches in your ship, quickly turn the mining arm on/off with "M"
Ahhh, awesome, I'll give that a try, thank you!
@earnest halo go to microtech and retrieve the roc from the ground vehicle garage
What mining glitch is prevented by turning off the weapons?
It prevents the arm of the l roc from glitching when inside a ship. Do not power the roc off when you exit it
Ah okay.
With regards to the ROC's mining arm issue, if it snaps into its glitched position, just enable and disable mining mode to fix the arm, then press P to power down the weapons, which disables the mining arm. When stowing, make sure to leave the ROC powered on with weapons disabled, and hop out. This will prevent the arm from snapping into the glitched position when you hop back into it. Just simply re-enable weapons (P again) after unpacking the ROC from your ship.
you know the arm is glitched when your ROC starts dancing
It's a feature!
its so many issues around the whole ROC mining process that i have given up on ROC
if the ROC works it will be cutlass door that stop working
i just mined some quantaniam and my prospector blew up cuz i took to long to get to port to sell WTF
I just mined agricium and my prospector blew up on the pad anyway
where can i find hand mineables? do they still spawn only in the caves?
thanks buddy
My power just went out so I guess I’m done for the night @fading copper
i just mined some quantaniam and my prospector blew up cuz i took to long to get to port to sell WTF
@odd rose
Yeah, that's how Q works. When you see that little blinking light in the corner change from yellow, you'd best be at or near a refinery terminal already
whats going on with daymar i keep getting server disconnected while mining there its happened everyday for me now doesnt happen anywhere else
Go mine Aberdeen for a week, that'll change. Server disconnects happen regularly, the servers are unstable
ya i get that but i have mined daymar for weeks at times with no disconnects and now its a daily thing since this update i already submitted a ticket for it so we ll see what happens
Aynone know much about fps mining in 3.11? I saw a post on reddit that said there should be lots of hind minables everywhere now. Has this been confirmed? Can I use my SEN to scan and then hand mine on the surface of moons like Aberdeen? I did a quick test... found some rocks that were too large, and then I found some small rocks that had gem icons on them. I wasn't able to mine them with the hand tool though. The rocks had some kind of crystals attached to them, so maybe weren't normal rocks even though they scanned as Hadanite.
I saw plenty of hand mineable rocks on Arial last night all over the planet
@raw palm
The hand mineables will have a mass around 0.1 whereas the ROC mineables will have a mass around 0.75. I've found hand mineables just about everywhere so far this patch.
ty @worldly vector and @distant sapphire ! Good to know!
and they show up on scanners I assume?
(like the SEN scanner)?
if you scan with ship scanner, it will show you composition and mass so you'll know before even getting out of the pilot seat
@raw palm
Yes they show up on ship scanner but make sure you are going slow or stop. They are small and can easily be missed.
Quantanium is bonkers, holy cow. Set myself up very carefully, sucked up as much as I could as fast as I could, and off-loaded. 33% of my cargo hold resulted in 51k UEC
I just got the Prospector today and I'm getting absolute ass profits compared to the Greycat ROC
Where should I be mining?
@earnest halo Goto a diffrent station and claim it
Can someone ping that solution untill we get a fix
If your ship is stated as un-retreivable goto a different station and make a claim
@hollow sedge feel free to play around with https://sc-trade.tools/mining
N.B. you'll need to upgrade the mining laser to crack the hardest rocks
How often are 30k now? I might get back into trading a bit if it's not too bad
Notice something weird with the scanner on the SEN, if I hover over a rock it says shows the scanning circle but it never shows the results of the scan 😦 Someone on the server said it works in their prospector and freelancer. But doesn’t seem to work for me in the SEN.
Other than the helix head, what are the best attachments?
Oh sorry - for a prospector. I know the cooler, engine, qd is not necessary but i want to pamper my moneymaking ship
Helix really is the most important thing. Beyond that, update your QD if you can, shorter travel times will be appreciated
Anyone know if the connie comfortably fits the roc?
it fits good but i know in 3.10 it was bugging out and bouncing when you lifft the elevator not sure if its fixed yet
cutty is your best bet honestly
@raw palm with the scanner open, hold down left mouse button when you see the scanning circle to give you the node composition. works for every ship right now
I find it fits horribly in a black
wut
Spazzes out everytime
It's the mining laser bug. Normally the cutty is great. ROCs are cursed for many right now. I cannot fire the lasers on any that I spawn.
You can get around the issue of parking in a cutty by engaging and disengaging the mining laser, just fyi
Have it disengaged while on the ramp, basically.
ty @distant sapphire - I got the scanner to work, I didn't remember having to click left button when I did it before, but its been a few patches... so I'm rusty. However, I've spent a couple hours on Aberdeen and can't find any rocks I can hand mine. Consistently, the smallest rock I've found is .75 - never below .75, but I've found several .75. In fact, the small ones (the ones that have the gem icon) seems to always be between .75 and .85.
Here's an example video.
Am I missing something?
First few days it was really stable, but I think they are testing some backend stuff which is causing 30ks
The greycat ROC is so buggy, just constantly flipping when I use it. Any ideas on a solution?
I've had good luck in the ROC if I open the door first without getting in, and waiting for the animation to finish before then getting in the seat
stopped me from falling into the ground
@hollow sedge feel free to play around with https://sc-trade.tools/mining
N.B. you'll need to upgrade the mining laser to crack the hardest rocks
@crimson mantle Just to correct, because wrong Phantom pinged, it was for @sturdy pelican
Oh my bad, sorry!
hey is the roc purchasable in game yet?
where?
I believe you can find one at New Deal on Hurston.
thanks. I was looking on the wiki but the roc page and reddit dont seem to have any updates since august
Yup, no problem. I've purchased one in-game and have spent an... unfortunate amount of time in Lorville.
lol yea, hopefully time to leave soon. Execution warrents pay well but id like a less explosive line of work for a bit.
people still use prospectors to blow up ROC mineables?
or how am I supposed to see this?
Burst
anyone having trouble spawning there roc?
im trying to mine with my prospector but micro tech is annoying as hell cause my ship just wants to fall out the sky every thrre seconds. where should i be looking for quant?
i havent mined since a few releases back
also i found quant but my laser wouldnt get above 5% even when basically humping the rock, can i not break with defualt laser?
Two things.
One: https://sc-trade.tools/mining to help you find places.
Two: yes, some rocks are too large or too resistant to be broken by the default laser. Even with a Helix you have to practically shove the mining head inside the rock in order to actually break some of the largest ones.
In general, Yela tends to be a popular place, but not this month as it is dangerous there with the kill challenge going on
ok thanks, is it even worth trying to use the prospector on planets? cause it drives like shit and i hate it in atmo
or should i just stick to moons
yeah i spent 30 min on yela and didnt ping a single mineable
Never tried planets myself, I'd stick to moons or asteroids.
One thing you can do if need be is just land the ship and mine, rather than trying to fly and mine at the same time. Can help deal with weather issues and such.
yeah true. ok one last thing
is there an ore refine terminal at new babbage star port?
or do i ahve to go in to town?
Gotta go into town.
only super-convenient refinery is going to be either Port Olisar, or Levski.
Both will be faster than trying to hoof it into the city proper, but Olisar is dangerous right now and Levski a bit out of the way
yaaaay first 30k. Lost 180k xD
i wish they added terminals in hangers ;c
i mean, they really should have them there ;/
doesnt make sense that the refinery is in town
like for trade terminal. why going the opposite of the city to sell your cargo?
how long can i have quant in my hull before it blows?
yeah cargo should be a section of the spaceport too
not long. better start going back
sometimes bug™️ make it explode in the next minute
like when ships come in to port they dont move the cargo to a storage in the middle of the city
not long like 5min.. 10 min
noice
when not bugged how long on averg
kk ty i just read a guide about teh flashing colors and timers
anyway to fix when laser wont turn on with fracture mode? fresh ship too
Can someone tell me if this gameplay loop is doable?
- 3 party member group
- 2 people each with a ROC/transport 1 person with a ship that has SCU capability or a Cargo Grid
- when ROC is full, call 3rd person over to empty/transport from ROC to personal inventory-> drop onto grid of their ship.
-make rounds between both miners -> nearest port to sell.
I tried to do this with a random the other day, but said he wasn't' able to sell it.. So I tried it again on my own, and put it on a ship. When I landed and went to sell it said 0SCU, however was still able to select the ship, then sell. Has anyone tried this?
3rd person should also be your scout to help find the ROC mineables
he can sell it as long as he's the one who gets the box from the ROC
otherwise it'll show as illegal
So I need someone to try and take cargo from my ROC and see if it will allow them to do so
it will allow them do do so as its 'their cargo' being sold from their ship
and then they can use the money app to transfer spoils
and the ROC will open the back part up whether or not the person is in party
So party members can take cargo from ROCs? Reason I'm asking is I had tried this with a random and it didn't allow them to.. but he was fairly new.
even non party members can take from the ROC
back to your question, I'd use the 3rd guy to also scout
as soon as a deposit is found, go scout again
and I'd recommend using a 100 Series ship because of its AIR system
hmm.. i'll have to try to get someone to help again who knows bit more
if a person can handmine they can ROC mine
didn't help the last time I tried, I got 3 rocks opened, but couldn't use ROC to extract. :/ At least I know it's possible now..
the ROC has issues this patch
collection laser has to be held over the gems for a long time it seems
whether thats server related or not is unknown
Is there a list og what different ores are worth somewhere?
some moons have worse atmo than hurston
the place we have had the biggest profit opportunity with our test is mining quant around MT, but the problem is the time it takes from you have jumped to NB and untill you have gotten inside the vehicle terminal
if you are good at making that time short you will have good profit there with quant
is slam currently unsellable?
Refinery decks are on the docket for 3.12
so that will probably make it a lot easier at a number of space stations
I just got an ARGO mole
Im planning on doing multi crew mining
what lasers should I get?
Helix II
why is quantanium disaapearing from my prospector
even when im not mining anything else than quantanium
and even before the yellow light starts it can have dissapeared a large portion
I believe the MOLE comes with Helix IIs already
I don't believe Mole comes with the helix's
Starcitizen.tools suggests it does. I haven’t had a chance to look in-game.
It definately does not
100% mole does not come with Helix
where do you sell slam?
Anyone open to showing me some cargo routes later today?
@hollow sedge Did you try gallog and sctools?
where do you sell slam?
@dense fractal
You don't right now. The only slam buyers disappeared in 3.11.0 patch
any best way to make money rn
anyone got a build for a good Caterpillar?
I've never even really hauled cargo yet @sullen sand
This is what hell looks like with this collection laser
@hollow sedge You can explore your trade options here: https://sc-trade.tools/trade-routes
Is there a trick to getting the ROC out of the cutlass? It keeps wanting to float up. I can never get it out very easily.
When entering the roc, as soon as it moves take out the mining arm and put it back. That fixes it for me, and i'm able to just drive out.
Best option is to turn the mining arm off before ever getting into the Cutlasss
do that by pressing P
don't turn the mining arm back on until you're out of the Cutlass
Trade tools usually doesn't help with trade routes. Unless im doing something wrong
im having such a hard time try to trade in this patch
Oh I didn’t even know you could turn the arm off. Ty. Will try it.
I was just hitting M to toggle mining mode and that would jostle it around some.
anyone got a build for a good Caterpillar?
@spare flower stock is actually good
you can gain about 10% hp by upgrading shield
and you could upgrade speed on QT with the cost of range
a little
or put FR-86 if you plan on combat
expensive upgrades with little gain
and choose weapons if you plan on combat
or change QT to industrial like carrack have in stock and get huge range and loooooong spooling/calibration
i mean 1 tank with pontes(stock) will give you 5-10 fast long range jumps
Yea idk. I don’t see stock trading routes as being too lucrative atm
I’ve tried and tried, and between unavailable stock or sellers just not buying. I spend more time actually trying to find and trying to sell than I do actually running my route
it takes many tries to learn what you will be able to buy enough of and sell enough of
i have lost too much cargo to bugs and client crash this patch i aint gonna try any more
@hollow sedge What issue are you experiencing?
Im new and im probably doing something wrong but everytrade route on there has no supplies left so i wait but nothing pops up on the trade console
How is delamar for mining?
i have been collecting for like 10min now without a single reaction
@hollow sedge Try shops with at least a refresh rate of at least half your cargo capacity: https://i.imgur.com/3XNgXCy.png
@sterile trail You can check the best mining places here: https://sc-trade.tools/mining
Feel free to use the filters to limit your search ("Stanton > Crusader" for example)

Large scale trade back yet?... not talking about Freelancers... rather the 10x freelancer ship capacity vessels genuinely created for trade like the Caterpillar and Carrack... I am not quite sure how to term the verbiage such that the trolls don’t respond, but I still get a useful answer?!
Is the Caterpillar worthwhile again?... or can you not even fill a free Lancer still?
Not asking about scrap
👀
Profitable cargo?
?
Is Laranite, Agricium, Titanium, Diamonds... is there anywhere in-game that can fill a Caterpillar with expensive cargo?... FILL?
Where?
Agricium, I don’t actually know, been ages since I tried that.
I LOVE my Cat... but resent its current uselessness!
Bezdek/Lathan has laranite and titanium.
So you can by partial laranite and then titanium.
Or you could be a coward like me and just buy all titanium
Yeah that’s a thing.... but does.... this still work?
Welcome to my 2020 Star Citizen Gameplay footage where I show you how to NEVER loose your cargo to a 30k crash in Star Citizen 3.10.1! This 30k crash protection in Star Citizen works 100% of the time! I also show you how to set a priority setting on your Star Citizen .exe to k...
So... anyone tried this yet?
Currently?
Idk if I still works in 3.11, haven’t tried it.
Can I gather the Laranite from Bezdek + Latham + T&M and sell it all at Lorville and get 330,000 and still survive a 30k?... or has CIG “fixed” that?
I don’t recall it being mentioned in bug fixes for 3.11, but obviously not everything that gets changed is included in patch notes.
Ok.. I’ll try it as I can afford wasting $1,400,000 aUEC for the sake of distributable Knowledge!
ROC mining right now must be the most frustrating experience I've ever had
because the ROC won't sit still, so you have to keep adjusting just to keep your target in check, which is insufferable when you have to keep your collector laser pin pointed just to suck anything up
Mine depops when i open the ship’s cargo door. Also half the time i can’t mine with it. The rock just stays at 0% whatever i do.
That’s not counting the times where it just pops and goes down through the ground into oblivion or when i leave the ship and it turns upside down half buried.
I love my prospector...
Willing to bet the Prospector is faster than the ROC right now just because it's a smoother, more reliable experience
No comparison
Where to sell slam?
@rare quail You cannot sell SLAM anywhere right now.
Guys I'm new to the game. Finally earned a Caterpillar and so far this has been my experience:
First trip: ~500k aUEC of goods --> 30K crash lost it all,
Second trip: 70k profit
Third trip 647k aUEC of goods --> Ship Randomly blows up coming out of QT (See attached)
Now I'm going broke... Guys Is hauling not reliably possible in the current state of the game or am I having bad luck? I've lost 1.1Mil aUEC and made 70K...
I found a bug report about this from a year ago, dunno how common it is
@forest finch There are "tricks" to mitigate the impact of 30Ks, but the servers being unstable and the game being buggy, it's a risky business to run cargo.
What about my caterpillar randomly blowing up?
I found this, but is it common? https://robertsspaceindustries.com/community/issue-council/star-citizen-alpha-3/STARC-91885-Caterpillar_randomly_explodes_after_exiting_Quantum_Travel___ArcCorp_resulting_in_lost_cargo
- After exiting quantum travel from Wala to ArcCorp the ship immediately explodes before I even have control of it.
Reproduced a similar bug - exiting QT from Lyria orbit to Shubin SAL5 - the ship maintains crazy speeds and instantly travels over 100km into the planet's surfa...
Sounds like a bug 😦
Basically since I lost 2/3 of my trips to bugs I want to have an idea of if it's worth it to try to recoup my lost 1M or switch to mining or something
sometimes your ship takes damage and the server will only register it quite a while later. Could be that, or something else. You can add your reproduction to the ticket.
Mining might be safer: you'll still crash, but at least you won't lose capital.
I repaired and refueled, then QT'd and blew up before even getting control of the ship, I found a few threads on this happening to caterpillars https://reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/c0un4g/caterpillar_instantly_explodes_when_coming_out_of/
5 votes and 10 comments so far on Reddit
I'll add to the ticket, I guess hauling isn't great right now? I feel like maybe it's too risky with all the bugs
A lot of people are making the same assessment
Thanks for your input, is it possible to sell back my cat?
I'm too broke to buy a prospector now
You bought it in-game and want to sell it ingame?
in game ya
Not at the moment no
ok thanks
But you can try your hand at ROC mining, it's as profitable than prospector mining with 1/10 the investment.
Not bug-free though
ohhh this looks interesting!
All you need is 172k for the vehicle and 25k+5.2k for the pembroke armor
can that thing fit in the freelancer?
It's an easier fit in the cutlass. I've heard it can fit in the regular freelancer, but it's tricky.
Didn't try myself
Ok thanks for the suggestion I'll try this, looks fun
Less stress inducing than flying around my 500k cargo caterpillar that self distructs lmao

Amazing thank you!
is there good place in microtech sector for hadanite?
Okay, I've got some tips for people who are trying to ROC mine for a less frustrating experience
- When you're boarding your ship, press P to turn power off to your ROC's weapons. This will prevent nasty collision issues.
- When you're parked at a site, turn off your ROC's Engines (console on the left) so that your ROC doesn't try to wander and shake
- Avoid any planet with too much variable terrain. Lots of rocks or canyons is going to make it difficult to navigate and risk turtling yourself
and 4) for the love of ROC, avoid any amount of overcharge. With how long you have to hover over a gem to pick it up with the collector, if you have even 5% overcharge, you're going to spend 30 minutes trying to collect materials
is tram&myers diamonds fixed price this patch too?
i might try to trade again when i get more RAM
gold was also fixed price on several source locations last patch
and fixed at trade department
diamonds was not fixed price at trade departments
@last flame if you have gems spread out it might be a better option to get out of your seat and start stowing
or just leave it
I fully believe that.
Best to leave it if you're on the dark side of the planet, though
spotting hadanite in the dark is hell
i usually leave it
when the mineables is in a slope also i might have patience to pick up 75% of the gems
when it looks like that
Yeah, I posted an image last night of a similar hell
It'll be good when this is finally fixed
whenever you break them hadenite rocks hurry up and get em in your back pack cuz when the game crashes at least you wont lose em
Love the ROC, nice tumbling feature that just throws you over and glitches you through the planet 😄
@fickle zephyr Nothing has a fixed price. Some places simply have a very large refresh rate, making them "always full". Since price varies with supplies, they are more stable. You can see the refresh rates here: https://sc-trade.tools/shops
i have never bought diamonds for anything but 5.85 on tram&myers
or sold gold for anything but 6.41
titanium can tank pretty hard pretty fast on prime times
wonder how they'll adjust everything for 3.12 on trade
I'm just learning how to mine with the multi-tool. on foot. any suggestions appreciated. I have the big yellow backpack.
if you take those investigation missions to find missing people they usually lead to caves on daymar if you are near crusader
caves = minables
idk
Did they fix asteroid mining yet?
Looking for Mole crew
Anyone doing some mining runs?
I have Roc's, moles, whatever or will just be operator.
I am thinking of renting a Starfarer to do hydrogen refining. Is the refine working? Can you refuel other ships with it? Can you sell this harvested hydrogen?
@soft coyote No use of Starfarer currently
What's the best planet to mine on?
Any of the moons should work, but the Hurston ones are more commonly recommended
on a server with only 6 people online right now, the collection arm is going too fast for the global inventory to handle and its literally vacuuming them up too fast
i had to inch in and grab them slowly or lose dozens because it litearlly sucks up 50 in 1 second
So it is done server side
It's.. amazing
I would record but I'm not risking any sort of cause to me DC'ing
And every single tick of my middle mouse wheelchanges the laser throttle % down to the .0X%
Now that's a greygasm
I had a server once where the laser throttle was actually smooth
damn 30 ppl just joined
and now its not workin right
sad day :/ was fun while it lasted
got 300 hadanite in no time at all
Ah well
Erm...... ROC spawn bugged?
https://streamable.com/9myg36
Have been having a weird issue with ROCs last few days- after breaking a few the ROC laser just stops working on anything. Am in a small group (one other person). The odd thing: when I fire the mining laser, the other guy sees the extraction beam. When I switch, he sees the laser and I see the extraction beam.
for those miners out there; confirmed, 3 roc can fit into a cutty black... 2 in the back, one in the cockpit.
what should i cargo run with my freelancer?
ah nv,, im gonna try lyria and wala laranite
So, is sc-trade.tools/mining accurate when it says that aberdeen has about 5 times more hadanite than most of the other planetary satellites?
Is Aberdeen huge? Or is it just loaded?
how do i find spots to mine?
With what ? Fps mining? ROC? @austere night
FPS mining
Guys, do asteroid minning work now?
Im with mole and scanning of asteroid does not start never...
@earnest halo It's accurate: Aberdeen has much more Hadanite than anywhere else.
@hollow sedge
@modern hedge
The problem with trade is that prices vary depending on stock, and stock is global across all servers: when a lot of people are trading, they deplete the inventory and raise the prices in all but the best "producers".
As there is currently no way to get the data from the LIVE servers (https://github.com/EtienneLamoureux/sc-trade-tools/issues/73), the website gets it from the static game's files (https://sc-trade.tools/home#faq).
If you trade only in places with large production, you'll see accurate prices on SC Trade Tools. Example: https://bit.ly/3k51hDP
It's a bit of a shame, but it's the best I can do for now :/
this was, a lot more than i expected
you literally explained eveything i was wondering about atm
My pleasure :)
The current system Star Citizen has is pretty obscure: there's a lot that's not obvious with it.
what do you recomended i start to trade with, im in a cutty. (i dont have a lot of cash, so im not gonna haul atm, but waht should i start with)
Are you around crusader, hurston?
If you have a cutty you can also try to work your way up to 172k to get a ROC mining buggy in-game
i would love to get the ROC, but i dont have anywhere to start atm, cuz im i have a team, (we are 2) so we are splitting up the cash
so i was just wondering at what time should i start to haul, 10k? 50k maybe?
Well, with 50k you can make 9.2k profit (in the best time) in a cutlass
In about 10 mins
those 10 min will prob be like 20 minutes in how i operate (: but that isnt a long time for 9k
If you want to avoid Port Olisar, or Crusader moons entirely, you can also filter them out
no, i dont mind those
Even titanium, wich is usually pretty stable priced, makes 8.2k profit
@lilac wigeon yes, Asteroid mining works. But you have to be in specific belts for there to be asteroids to mine. For instance, Delamer doesn't seem to have any minable deposits around it
meanwhile, a number of the Lagrange point space stations do
is there an updated spreadsheet on what minerals are on which planets and moons?
@dawn ermine There's something even better: https://sc-trade.tools/mining 🙂
Awesome, Thanks!
@crimson mantle
Per that tool, do you recommend Aberdeen? Or is there better places due to climate and terrain?
For roc mining
With a pembroke armor from Lorville Arberdeen is survivable, and it really is the best place right now.
That being said, if you want to avoid the hotspots, anything around Hurston is very good.
Alright thanks!
I tried aberdeen but kept running into minables on slopes/mountains so stuff kept getting everywhere. Might of just been where I was looking tho.
Also tried without pembroke armor at one point. Almost died of heatstroke or something lol. Was on 1% before I drank at a r&r.
Yeah, 218°C is kinda hot
is there a way to check how much laranite is left, or do i hav eto fly there and check manually
Gotta fly there
@modern hedge Serious Table is correct. The rule of thumb is that there is never any laranite anywhere. You can always try though, and the "Alternative commodities" will show you other things to fill your cargo hold with.
I mostly use Tungsten, Diamond or Astanite when there's only a sad amount of Laranite left
all three have a pretty fair share
Yeah, going off the beaten path, or picking up materials less commonly traded will serve you really well.
Everyone's chasing that fat pay off, but a little bit at a time might beat them out just because of how frequently people are buying out laranite
It's weird. I feel like in all my time attempting to chase Agricium or Laranite, etc, all the high paying ores, I could have hunted for Gold/Titanium/Diamonds, and filled up and off-loaded three times, and made more
what stat should I look at to mine the tougher rocks with the laser heads?
you need invest 108k in Helix mining head...
trade limits are too strict with all servers sharing the same stock and refill
I really enjoy mining but jesus christ, I keep getting attacked whenever I go out, It's really draining and frustrating
levski is reasonably peaceful
and aaron halo is 99.999% peaceful
i would prefer yela rings though but yeah, gladius everywhere
I've usually been okay on aberdeen but not since the mask challenhe came out
i have had success mining on aberdeen and selling on levski
but no quant on aberdeen
with ROC if you are far enough away from any outpost it should be ok
i prefer to stay >100km away from any outpost or >50km if im lazy
What kinda income range can I expect with a prospector? Like about how much uec and hour? (Ex: 30000-60000 uec/hr).
100-200k
mining not quantanium (safe, reliable) around 100k and mining quantanium around 200k
its not more profitable than ROC but variation is nice
and the Prospector is less buggy than the ROC right now
making around 30K-60K in one hour with the Prospector
depending on luck... sometimes it's really dry
where do you mine?
its not more profitable than ROC but variation is nice
@fickle zephyr
On this, didn't the roc get kinda nerfed because hardinite was replaced with dolerite or whatever.
it takes longer to fill the cargo with hadanite now yeah
I got a roc with uec but also the tractor beam is a bit gimped right now too.
Doesn't help I'm currently using a aquila to run it around either lol. I need to swap to a msr.
Do we have confirmation the MSR will have a vehicle bay?
@formal glacier I was on a server last night with only 8 ppl online and the tractor beam was literally instant! So yes it is borked, but somehow by network lag :o
Like I turned it on and within 1 second (no exaggerations) it picked up 50 hadanite
Yeah I heard it's server related
Yup. It’s been highlighted in the patch notes as a known bug for causing “player stalls”
Do we have confirmation the MSR will have a vehicle bay?
@last flame
I remember hearing that it used to not hold a rover, but now it will.
@crimson mantle thata unfortunate that Aberdeen is just soo much more loaded, I want a good reason to be able to not fly back to the exact same moon, every day I get on the game, just to make decent money
@earnest halo That's just the way it is this patch. I'm sure they'll keep balancing.
I’ll admit I’m in agreement. Getting really sick of Aberdeen. Lol
@last flame I posted a link to the msr question you had above
Appreciated
