[shell edge]

have you tried to look at SC-trade tools where the deposits are? https://sc-trade.tools/deposits/Asteroid (Q-Type) for asteroids and https://sc-trade.tools/deposits/Quantainium Deposit for deposits?

[teal wing]

This has been my luck so far at Lyria, I came across about 18 quant deposits on the 55 minute trip and all of them were 4% or lower, with one 11% iirc

[raw shell]

I haven't seen that. I've just been going to lyria and the halo based on thw people are saying. Thanks! I'll try those locations

[teal wing]

HUR-L3 is also pretty good in my experience, I swap between there and Lyria depending on whether I wanna do space or planet mining

[raw shell]

If that site you posted is accurate, microtech moons are the place to go

[gilded bluff]

god I love this game but its fking testing my patience to the limits. I do my work, land with the quant on the pad and something glitches in the seat exiting animation, I get stuck in the chair and cant get out while quant proceeds to explode.

[raw shell]

If that happens, suicide. It should store your ship

You wake up in bed, ship and cargo safely stored

[gilded bluff]

god damn I didn't know that but I was screaming at my screen, that's for sure.

[raw shell]

I can relate. I love it when you're rushing in with the yellow alarm blaring and the request to land glitches

[gilded bluff]

its a rush hehe

[solar cargo]

Hey, is ROC mining bugged?

showing no mass and no increase to laser effect or scanning

[simple hawk]

Have to find the sweet spot on eatch rock now

[solar cargo]

i know they have a hit box.. but its smaller now*

[hollow sedge]

lyria full quantanium

[undone palm]

Is trading anything to go for or is it mining thats best?

[hollow sedge]

trading is dead

..

I wanted to do it too but the materials are still empty

[gilded bluff]

... right now. Trading is not good ... right now he means.

[undone palm]

if trading would give us atleast 40-50scu of worthy materials we could trade to bigger cities whitout waiting an half an hour it would be great but ocnt is on high demand now so even area 18 is full more or less constant

[hollow sedge]

Trading still broken? I havent played SC heavily in a few months cause none of the gameplay loops in game are something i want to do. Every once a while i hop into my freelancer and do a trade run but the profit is meh at best.

[gilded bluff]

haha! First 100% quant!

[fringe kettle]

Niiiice!

[bright flame]

Sweet

I imagine that came with leaving some lesser chunks behind, which sucks, but that's Prospect'n for you!

[manic whale]

Its not broken

[gilded bluff]

oh yeah, there are always chunks left if you find a big nice rock for quant

[bright flame]

And that's why I solo MOLE mine!

[gilded bluff]

Im saving for a MOLE right now, love that ship

[desert loom]

if you have a surge module with 3 charges used, how do you swap it for a full one

[thin escarp]

tonight 10pm est mining operation! if you need money this is for you! no exp or ship needed. equal cuts for all and paid after every run! dm for details!

if you wanna learn mining this is your chance. :)

[hollow sedge]

@manic whale You mean they fixed the supply/demand issue?

[north oyster]

Trade is fubar, it's not totally broken. It's about as functional as tits on a boar hog

It functions in some rudimentary fashion but it's not really a game loop

[hollow sedge]

@gilded bluff Even if udont glitch in ur seat killing youself spawns you closer to the elevator to refinery and can shave a few seconds off each trip

[gilded bluff]

does the ship get impounded or stored?

[simple hawk]

Both

[gilded bluff]

so if you land and kill yourself in the ship it gets impounded? hmm

[simple hawk]

Dont need to kill you’reself. Just hover over a pad until impounded and you’re inside.

[gilded bluff]

oh I know the classic impound mechanic. You land without permission, get teleported inside and need to pay the fine.

[wild summit]

yo

are rocks with orange bits quantanium?

[pallid temple]

Orange bits?

[delicate girder]

Yes, rusty rocks.

[wild summit]

oh

[wild summit]

well it doesn't matter now I got teleported to port olisar

[wild summit]

because I tried to leave and re-enter my ship to fizx the scannre

DO you get the same amount of money mining on a planet as you do in space?

[torn glade]

is it normal for a greycat ROC ds to have no hud when in the drill?

[delicate girder]

Yes, it doesn't matter where you got the quant just how much there is of it.

[wild summit]

ah ok

[wild summit]

would you recommend space or ground?

[wild summit]

im kinda new so I don't know which is easier

[simple hawk]

I would go to Lyria with a MH1Laser on the prospector. Math; full prospector is 32scu
32 scu is 1600kg. So when mass is 5000 and amount of minerals are 10% its 500kg.

[proper hound]

is it normal for quantum that i literally just harvest explode straight away?

because mine one just explode and took out my Qt

there goes 40% rock

[simple hawk]

Yes quantanium takes practice and the right laser⬆️

[proper hound]

what

what do you mean i am done this for weeks now. This is the first time it explode like that

and the countdown didnt go down

it go up lol

[simple hawk]

Ohh,, mega lag?? Sry

[wild summit]

uh ok

scanning is a nightmare

[cedar flower]

15 SCU of E'tam that I simply struggle to sell, because the storage capacity of the shops is shared across all players and its constantly bought up

Worth of the cargo is like 150k, initially I had 35 SCUs though

[weak osprey]

so theres this contract i need to that the package but the package is an enormous rock how do i do that?https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/82210365147979776/878747947511214181/unknown.png

[wild summit]

how do you get cargo like that?

[weak osprey]

can anyone help me

[proper hound]

i guess they want you to mine it

[pallid temple]

The rock ain't the package

[weak osprey]

what is it

[weak osprey]

o

how tho

hm

do you need like a special ship?

[proper hound]

maybe you missed something shopkeeper say that is not the package

so maybe look around

otherwise you need mining ship for it

[weak osprey]

o frick

well

probably a mining ship but i have a normal

ship

[proper hound]

there is mining ship in free fly

[pallid temple]

There aren't any mining contracts to begin with, you probably just didn't look at the big massive marker to your right

[weak osprey]

the massive green marcker has a rock on it and its saying 17m

theres 2 of them

one is 17m and the other 1km

something

[wild summit]

also is 37% quantanium good?

[cedar flower]

places where you can get drugs

Arccom - Lyria - "The orphanage"

1 SCU is 85-90 Credis
and it sells for about 100

[wild summit]

oh is that illegal stuff

[cedar flower]

currently its not market illegal

[proper hound]

oh my freaking god. the game keep removing my consumable on the prospector

been playing this game for 2 months, i see the prospector is the most buggy ship in the game

[wild summit]

man I can't get the charge to optimal lmao

[lament smelt]

You getting blown up / using them all?

[proper hound]

after getting blow up by that ass bug. it remove all my consumable

could be intentional but that is such an ass bug for miner @lament smelt

[lament smelt]

Yeh I think you loose all consumables if you 30k or blow up etc. I know I have lost a fair few good ones to 30k`s

[wild summit]

do I have to go to a refinery to sell my stuff?

[proper hound]

no you go to refine to "Refine your stuff"

then you use cargo ship deliver it to city that want to buy your stuff

@wild summit

[lament smelt]

You can sell the raw minerals at the refinery or refine them and sell them as commodities on planet. You can also sell ore at outposts on some planets/moons , unless that has changed

[delicate girder]

Yes, as long as you're reading that with the mining head scanning.

Does SC correctly keep track of how many times you've used a mining serge between game sessions or does it reset if the serge isn't completely used?

[coarse cape]

it tracks

but pretty sure you can get around it by un equipping

[lyric sleet]

i've been giving the prospector ago and enjoying it, where's a good place to get better mining heads and what not

[wild summit]

Ah ok thanks guys

Is it worth getting anything other than quantanium?

[crimson mantle]

You can look at these prices and decide for yourself: https://sc-trade.tools/ores/Spaceship
The other ores don't have a time limit, so it's more relaxed.

(I would avoid borase, as it clumps really poorly)

[echo umbra]

anyone know any good places to find decent quantanium rocks? I can only seem to find ones with low amounts

[marble crater]

yeah it seems like the spawn rates have dropped, was alot easier before last patch

[coarse cape]

They prob want people to focus on combat more

[marble crater]

was thinking that, makes sense with the new capacitor/weapon changes

[coarse cape]

maybe in a .x patch they might up spawn rates

and hopefully make trading better for NT

[spare flint]

What does "NT" mean?

[coarse cape]

nine tails

[cosmic spoke]

so is mining bugged

i mined some stuff in a ROC and I couldnt sell any of it

like the trading thing

[spare flint]

Trading is now server synced

[cosmic spoke]

i'd be clicking select a location and it does nothing

what doesthat mean

itsmyfirst day so

has anyone else experienced this

I know of 4 other people who have

[marble crater]

I haven't been able to sell any fps mined stuff in backpack at any planet mining outpost. Haven't tried ROC

have heard you can sell at a Spaceport with a refinery? might be worth a shot

[cosmic spoke]

i couldnt sell my handmined stuff either

refinery didnt work either

[marble crater]

yeah all the trade terminals at mining outposts didn't give me an option either

[cosmic spoke]

wth man

[marble crater]

also tried in the Prospector

[cosmic spoke]

bogus lol

[spare flint]

'

[cosmic spoke]

?

[solar cargo]

anyone been able to mine with ROC today?

[spare flint]

fat fingered the chat my bad

[main saddle]

I mined in a ROC this evening. Found 5 Hadanite rocks in a cluster and mined them. Sold the Hadanite at Woodruff on Ita.

Gotta fly low and slow to find the gems though. I was in my Taurus.

[solar cargo]

thanks mate..havent been able to last 2 days.. no numbers or scanning available on any nodes i visit..can only do it with Ship and not asteroids either

[main saddle]

i saw a cluster of dolivine, but passed it up. Wasn't scanning. I had started at Woodruff and just started cruising west.

the diamonds popped up and I swung back around. had to ping to relocate them though. a very small box displayed. had to get within a couple hundred meters for diamonds to show back up

dust storm dropped my fps to about 10, so it was fun mining the hadanite 😅

[slim atlas]

has anyone been able to sell stuff in the trading consoles? My ships aren't showing up

[restive ice]

does cargo in my ship disappear when i leave the game?

[pallid temple]

Yeup

[simple hawk]

No, but If you have to claim it it dissapears

Or ypu crash it or blows up it dessapears ofcourse

[restive ice]

but retrieving the ship with the cargo on works?

[spare flint]

nope

the cargo goes bye bye

[pallid temple]

No it doesn't

[spare flint]

I retrieve it on a different planet and it all goes bye bye

thats BS

[foggy iron]

If you log out properly at a port (or after getting landing permission) or bed log then cargo should remain but just exiting the game from your cockpit mid space will lose the cargo.

[coarse cape]

not really bs

cuz if you could just pull it out on another planet running cargo would be pointless

and pirates wouldnt have things to do

[quasi pagoda]

Yeah, and you can't just accidentally retrieve it on another planet, you have to claim it.

I just wish you wouldn't lose your cargo after a 30k

[shell edge]

You can mitigiate the risk against 30k a bit....request landing at at space station (but do not land) before you head to your final destination. This updates the spawn point, and should in case of a 30k also save your ship there (in a retrievable state). The biggest risk when trading is then from the outpost to the first space station you can request landing at). For moving refined goods, just request landing before you leave the refinery.

I did a lot of trading (when trading was good, but 30k's was worse), and this often did the trick.

[quasi pagoda]

Thanks for the tip, lost 300k worth of cargo last night and I have another 1m to transport today. I'll definitely be more careful next time.

[coarse cape]

once server meshing and insurance comes out that shouldnt be too much of a problem iirc

cuz i know when insurance comes out depending on the insurance you got depends on how much cargo you can get back in cash i think

or in the boxes

[quasi pagoda]

Yeah, definitely. But we have a ways to go. Can't wait, but at least 12 months.

[coarse cape]

yeah

[gray osprey]

I've been trying to mine quantanium but everytime I find a rock and scan it, it says 'Max rs signature 5000' and then I can't do anything to it

Any idea why?

Nevermind, I got out of my Prospector and it kept bouncing me out everytime I tried to get back in and then it killed me

[quasi pagoda]

You need to be within 5km.

Usually it says that for me when I am looking at a box icon, not a rock icon.

[quasi pagoda]

.

[haughty anvil]

I've found that crouching at that ladder helps with that

wonder if the mole is viable as a single player

[pallid temple]

It is not

Clue is in the name Multi Operator Laser Extractor

[teal wing]

Possible in space, less so planetside due to wind and general bugginess

[wild summit]

I gotta say its quite hard finding quantanium on Lyria

[wild summit]

how many rocks fills a prospector?

like full rocks

thats probably a stupid question

[pallid temple]

Depends on what you find

[wild summit]

quantanium

[cosmic spoke]

Is anyone else able to sell the stuff they mine with a ROC?

When at the mining stations,the sell “select a location” button does nothing

so I’m not able to sell anything I mined

[wild summit]

Is 8.75SCU good?

[obsidian stone]

Good for what?

[mild geyser]

same issue if you try to sell from your backpack: STARC-12823

[wild summit]

I don't know

[wild summit]

I thought it was like an amoutn

[thorny copper]

In current game anything under like 400scu is pretty much worthless

[marble crater]

If you're looking for something to move the Quantainium you mined 1 Prospector load is around 30-33 SCU when refined I've found

[wild summit]

how much money is that?

[wild summit]

IG it doesn't matter now cuz we 30k'd whilst I was delivering it

[mild geyser]

Before you quantum away from your origin, call the station for landing permission. If you 30k you will still be stored there.

[nocturne ivy]

what's the default button to use mining modules?

[proper hound]

ALT + 1 or 2 or 3

[lucid ridge]

mining is still bugged?

just asking for some info

[proper hound]

works for me

[gilded bluff]

prospector mining works for me to.

how is ROC mining?

[teal ridge]

Hi, haven't played in months around the time cargo was broken. Is cargo missions still broke?

[slim atlas]

the missions are better but glitchy at times

[teal ridge]

I was doing the bounty missions that gave good cash if I remember

Are we able to sell ships yet?

[cosmic spoke]

hey why when i try to sell my hadanite

it says insufficient stock

[slim atlas]

where are you trying to sell it?

ano no cant sell ships

[cosmic spoke]

im at a HDMS station

[slim atlas]

it has a limited amount they can buy

[cosmic spoke]

where do i see the amount

[slim atlas]

it wont tell you, it either works or doesnt but I dont think you can even sell it there

[cosmic spoke]

like whenever i try to sell any amount

it just says insufficient stock

[slim atlas]

try selling on like one of the big citys at the trade centers

[cosmic spoke]

whats a city near hurston i can sell to

[slim atlas]

lorville

on hurtson

[cosmic spoke]

tyhomie

[maiden cedar]

my biggest haul yet

[proper hound]

hope you make it save to the station

[maiden cedar]

thankfully i did, im more worried about selling it since thats when i normally have problems

[haughty anvil]

somebody posted a vid showing how to ensure against 30k when delivering cargo

[proper hound]

really? I never had?
I had five full runs from prospector refined then load it into the star runnter (which was almost full) and flew to lorvill to sell at the tdd in business district

[proper hound]

if the trouble is because of 30k then just hail the station again to ask for landing permission, after you recive the confirmation you fly away and be save. If 30k happens you ll haver your ship back at the station you hailed last

[maiden cedar]

good to know thx!

[gilded bluff]

looks good man, you mining alone?

[haughty anvil]

hmm my station blockaded

those missions pay?

[haughty anvil]

i'm on a hammerhead in a turret

[languid notch]

soon stuck

[wild summit]

Yeah I saw that. Is that when you have to call the station so it saves ur last location?

[haughty anvil]

yup

[wild summit]

Oh and also have any of you ever got a bug where your mining laser acts like your original laser?

Or is that just me

Cuz it’s really annoying

And I’ve yet to sell my first batch yet

Even deliver to the station because of stupid problems and bugs like these

[delicate girder]

Is there another good quant location other than ARC L3, Aron Halo and Lyria which I should try. CRU L1 is quantum blockaded yet again.

[mighty thunder]

can you not sell minerals at orison yet?

[delicate girder]

In reality, how much can you make doing the medical supplies runs for the event? I expect the answer is not much because it's bugged or something? In other words the typical for CIG.

[gilded bluff]

I cant get a solid answer myself about the profitability of the event.

[obsidian stone]

20k

[gilded bluff]

20k for what exactly

[obsidian stone]

https://youtu.be/-yfqD36cEQw

[gilded bluff]

Ill watch, ty

[wanton ibex]

what modules should I run mining quant?

[lyric sleet]

is 21% quantanium a good asteroid

[finite siren]

Mass?

u need 1600 mass 100% quant to fill prospector

[lyric sleet]

4931 mass

[finite siren]

thats 1k mass quant aka 20scu

and u wont have time to find another one so your choice

[lyric sleet]

there's actually a cluster of them this one was just the highest %

[finite siren]

just found a perfect rock with 2k mass pure quant and then got 30k 😂

[thorny sandal]

hey, anyone have this bug where you can't sell anything on trade terminals ?

I've been mining a lot lately because of the free prospector

[teal wing]

That may be because there is no demand, and you need to wait for the stock to refresh

[thorny sandal]

and I managed to get 2 full cargos of quant

but no way to sell it at arccorp or anywhere else.

nah, I can't even select the quantainium

[teal wing]

Are you at the Trade and Development Division consoles?

[thorny sandal]

I get this everywhere

yeah I tried at area18, NB and just now at ARC L1 just to check

haven't tried with another ship, but I'd need another refinery order done for that

[teal wing]

There isn't a TDD console at ARC L1, so you definitely can't sell quant there

[thorny sandal]

understandable

but shouldn't something at least pop up on the screen at area18's TDD ?

I've been trying for 2 days

[teal wing]

Yeah, it should, a screencap of trying to sell at a TDD screen would be more helpful, as it's hard to tell what the problem might be

[thorny sandal]

exactly the same screen

I can go back there if you want but it's the same problem

[wild summit]

Oh well

[teal wing]

[wild summit]

I lost all my money on mining stuff and it all disappeared again

Great game

Literally 200k

Wasted

[thorny sandal]

I found a ticket in the issue council about it, but it only has 4 confirms out of 10 so it's pretty rare it seems

[teal wing]

Definitely worth updooting and adding evidence if possible, in that case

[thorny sandal]

yeah because it's very very annoying

[teal wing]

Usually it's people trying to sell refined minerals at an admin console or something, that was my first thought

[thorny sandal]

I was already planning on buying an actual prospector too, but no

[wild summit]

Does anyone else get this bud where all their mining stuff disappears after they die?

[thorny sandal]

just so we're clear

[teal wing]

That's a feature, active and passive modules are lost when the ship is claimed or explodes, but you keep the mining laser itself

[thorny sandal]

TDD is next to the habs at area18 plaza, and you have to go up the stairs on the sides to access 4 monitors right ?

[wild summit]

Yeah but the mining laser kinda transformed into the default one. It has the exact same stats but with a different name

[teal wing]

It's on the right as you leave the shuttle area, you go down a flight of stairs and there are about 20 monitors to use

[wild summit]

I’ve also spent 200k on new heads that don’t even show up in my prospector so now I’m truly broke

[thorny sandal]

oh so THAT's why I lost my modules

[teal wing]

Are you buying size 1 or size 2 mining heads?

[thorny sandal]

uhhh ok let me check I might be stupid

[wild summit]

The game just doesn’t wanna work for me lol

[wild summit]

Yeah it’s weird that that happens I’m not sure what causes it

I don’t mean the modules I mean the weird but I get with the mining head

[teal wing]

Yeah, sounds like a bug, just thought the other mining heads might be missing as they might be the wrong size, and therefore wouldn't show up ^^

[thorny sandal]

oh my fucking god...

I've even been there before, I knew something was off

[teal wing]

[thorny sandal]

that step wasn't inscluded in the mining tutorial I watched

well, thank you for your help

[teal wing]

No problem ^^

[thorny sandal]

I'm gonna tell the other 3 guys from the issue council where the TDD is

also, is 166K for 20scu of refined quant a good price ?

I don't know what's high and what's low yet

[teal wing]

Value of 1 cSCU of refined quantanium moves between 81 and 88 usually, and typically sits at about 83 this patch. 32 SCU of quant sells for about 250k, so yeah, 166k is about right

[thorny sandal]

alright thank you

[teal wing]

For context, the next most valuable mineral (bexalite) is worth about 44 per 1 cSCU of refined

iirc

[thorny sandal]

that's crazy actually

that you can't really make money fast with anything else

[teal wing]

Yeah, I mostly stick to quant now unless I want a chill MOLE mining run somewhere

[wild summit]

It said size 2

I’ve yet to refine my first load yet

Because of all the bugs

And crashes

And 30k’s

And getting lost

Lmao

[teal wing]

Yeah, Prospector can only mount size 1 lasers, size 2 are for the MOLE

[lyric sleet]

Not so much you can't, more like you'll spend much longer for the same return

[wild summit]

Oh.

[wild summit]

I’ve spent like 100k on all of that stuff

[sage spire]

Is there something going on with titanium in regards to the trading aspect of the game?

[ebon anchor]

Hello everyone. I purchased a C2 to have something I can mine/trade with but I just realized that the C2 doesn't have a utility slot for turrets. What do you guys recommend instead?

[wanton ibex]

Prospector and MOLE are the only two miners in the game ATM

prospector is good for solo mining, MOLE can solo mine but its much better if you have friends

[ebon anchor]

Thanks for the information. Do you know if the Mole is good for transport/trading as well?

[wanton ibex]

neither of them can carry any cargo aside from the raw ores that they mined, so you'll need a seperate ship to deliver the refined metals

freelancer or similar is enough for that, the herc is a great cargo ship but neither of those will produce so much cargo that you'd need it

[delicate girder]

Never seen a pure quant roid. Most I've seen is high 40%s.

[spiral olive]

Anyone know how to make it so when im looking at a rock I can see the charge levels? It keeps disappearing

[delicate girder]

That and the quant going instantly critical are the two mining bugs I think I hate the most in this release.

[spiral olive]

i fucking finally find a rock and i cant mine it because ill blow myself up

-_-

[wanton ibex]

that one's desync for sure

I've had non quant jump immediately to critical

you usually get a slight warning if the laser heat freezes for a few seconds

that means the server hamster is dying and that its about to shoot up and maybe explode as soon as it unfreezes

[delicate girder]

That's not what I'm talking about.

[wanton ibex]

oh, you mean in cargo?

never seen that

[delicate girder]

Yes, I'm talking about right after you extract the first one or two rocks, it goes critical and explodes your ship without a minute.

I've gotten to where I'll find the first tiny bit of quant and extract it then wait a few seconds. That way the ship won't completely explode if it happens and I can continue to extract.

[ebon anchor]

Last question (I think). Would you recommend swapping the C2 for a Mole? I generally play by myself.

[spiral olive]

I'd say get a prospector for solo. Then you have some money for a different ship

[delicate girder]

Two different types of ships.

[spiral olive]

@delicate girder luckily, I was able to get it in a sweet spot and hold steady and i got the rock

[ebon anchor]

Yeah. I didn't realize you couldn't get a mining laser for the C2.

[wanton ibex]

yeah, MOLE can solo mine but its really not recommended, and its honestly worse than a prospector by itself

mostly because you have to run back and forth from the pilot's chair to the laser seat

the only real advantage it has over the prospector is it can hold a little more raw ore

if you had other people manning all the laser turrets then its better than the prospector, but til they add NPC crew a solo player should just stick with a prospector

[delicate girder]

Yeah, this ain't Elite Dangerous where nearly every ship can be made to do anything.

[ebon anchor]

I'm a fool! Thanks guys

[wanton ibex]

quite the opposite, most ships can only do one thing really well

but they are very good at that one thing

[ebon anchor]

I'll get one. Thanks a lot

[gilded bluff]

for quant I think two people are perfect for the mole. 3 or 4 is overkill since you cant find huge rocks to full the carge all the time.
actually, is there any scenario where 3 or 4 people in mole are more efficient then two?

if you take some kind of average profit per run or hour or whatever

[wanton ibex]

maybe if you have a lot of clustered asteroids or a really, really big one

[gilded bluff]

but you get that rarely.

[wanton ibex]

but you do have to consider that you have to pay them too, unless they are being charitable

[gilded bluff]

and if you man 3-4 people you are not going to have enough of those

yeah

that's what I mean

its a shame really, one would think manning all of the ships stations would be optimal. I really hope there is a gamplay at some point where utilising ship to its full potential gives you advantage.

if you have 4 people in the team Id say it would be better to run two man MOLE and two prospectors so you can scan the rocks faster

[spiral olive]

Whats the best refining process to use?

[wanton ibex]

depends on what you want

some are very expensive and very fast

with a moderate yield

some are more expensive, slow with high yield, others are slow, cheap, and have a high yield

each one tells you what they do when you select it

[spiral olive]

Ah ok. So if it doesnt matter the rock ill just use diniyx

or however you spell

[wanton ibex]

yeah, its just time/money/amount

if you're willing to spend lots of time you can save money and get a high amount

[spiral olive]

K. thx

[proper hound]

Always go high yield if you have the time. If give you back like 95% of what you mined

I went on mining for 1 day (around 10 hours play) and 2 days later come back and sold the quant for more than 1 milion

10k worth of quant= 800k cash

[marble crater]

you mined Quant for 10 hours and only made $1M?

[thin escarp]

i average around 600k a run in the mole.

25-40 minutes a run.

always down to train and help others.

[proper hound]

@marble crater that is including the numbee of bug i encounter with prospector

And 30k and randomly blow up after harvest quant

[marble crater]

ahhh fair enough haha, yeah bugs can be very annoying

[proper hound]

The door on prospector is deadly. Got killed twice when try to get out

@thin escarp solo mole?

[thin escarp]

@proper hound nah my org is pretty damn active so there isn't a need to go solo.

to lazy myself to go solo anyway. i'm already pretty modestly rich on here.

[proper hound]

Oh good for you

My boi only play at night

[thin escarp]

Just trying to help others enjoy the game 🙂

[proper hound]

So prospec for me but that thing is a nightmare

[thin escarp]

you can always ride with us

[proper hound]

Mind if i tag along?

[thin escarp]

i'll send ya a invite

[proper hound]

Tks

[lyric sleet]

I found if you open the ladder on the prospector and then get in it doesn't seem to get as angry lol

[slender kayak]

Where do i sell refined minerals?

[crimson mantle]

Depends on what you have: https://sc-trade.tools/best-buyer

[lyric sleet]

I usually just hit up lorville and sell there

[crimson mantle]

Right, you are correct: all the big cities will buy refined ores.
Some will buy much more though, usually meaning a better price 😄

[lyric sleet]

They all seem to pay the same for quantanium

[proper hound]

At the moment yes

[pliant fjord]

Is there a faster way to find Quantanium lol

i be takin a long ass time to find some in the spot 12,500,000km from ARC L3

[bright flame]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RadGv7QVcJw

[pliant fjord]

Thanks

[bright flame]

It takes some getting used to, but I usually find a cluster within 5 minutes using this method. They are fairly often unscannable, but when they are scannable, you'll usually get at least one good rock, and often multiple.

[proper hound]

Cool thanks for sharing

[marble crater]

nice vid! seems to be a much more efficient way

[bright flame]

Yep! Just did a mining run and found a cluster within 5 minutes. It wasn't great, but it had 8 rocks and I got almost 30 SCU from it.

[proper hound]

Finding 1 rock on planet is already hard but you found a cluster in 5m is very very profitable

[bright flame]

Learning how to identify the quant clusters over the other clusters takes quite a bit of practice, and picking them out from all the other dots, but boy is it effective once you get used to it.

[quasi pagoda]

Yeah I made about 1m worth of quant in 2 hours doing this. Definitely worthwhile

[proper hound]

anyone know why i cant scan those?

is this starbugtizen all over again?

[quasi pagoda]

Yeah, plenty of rocks are bugged. You just have to move on.

[proper hound]

i see

[proper hound]

so i guess this method is dead as well

5 cluster all dead lol

[quasi pagoda]

Wow that's really unlucky. About 1 in 5 are unscannable for me.

Could you scan any rocks?

[proper hound]

this is the 8th one

cant scan it

[lyric sleet]

Sometimes it's like that, others it's the first cluster you find that's what you're after

[proper hound]

man

if those rock work properly i would prob have like milion now

god dam mechanic never work when you need it

me and my friends literally take 2h

for none-profit

[lyric sleet]

So I had a surge, stampede, and filter module on my mining head, stored it and ran nine tails, but, when I got my prospector back out, all the modules are gone.

When I do bust a rock and go to collect it seems to filter out inert like I still have the module though

As far as scanning goes, I've had the best luck going from cru l1 to arc l3 and dropping at about 12.3 million km

[proper hound]

good for you

[raw shell]

Thanks for posting that!

[proper hound]

my 10th run lol

all unscanable. what is this

[lyric sleet]

Maybe server hop and try again

[empty ravine]

^ Yea this is worth a try.

[proper hound]

i look on council. quite a lot of people have same problem

man

[lyric sleet]

Sometimes increasing or decreasing my scan fov helps

[proper hound]

the problem is mining mode does not work as well

[lyric sleet]

For me, I completely circle the rock in mining mode, I've had several seem dead when in fact they just have one specific spot that will scan

[proper hound]

i see

[thin escarp]

@proper hound are u using mining mode

to scan

[proper hound]

it is pure bug, i check

[quasi pagoda]

Yeah, I'm having terrible luck with mining today. Not scannable in scanning or mining mode.

[proper hound]

restart pc help out

[quasi pagoda]

Tonight is worse than usual.

[slim atlas]

I can scan but lol the mining tool keeps loosing sync and rescanning

so had a 6000 with mostly quant blow up in my face

[coarse cape]

Same my keeps rescanning

[marble crater]

looks like I should skip mining for a bit

[lyric sleet]

I'll be taking my prospector out a little this evening hopefully I have some decent luck

[proper hound]

you should lol

[lyric sleet]

I'd like to at least match the 40 scu of Quant I got last night lol

[quasi pagoda]

I server hopped and had a lot more luck :)

[bright flame]

That often does the trick when mining gets very buggy, yep

[quasi pagoda]

And then 30k :P fun times 😭🤣

[mighty thunder]

any one need a extra body for a mole crew?

[gilded bluff]

hahaha I love it when you think you are ahead and the game just shoots you in the knee 😄
happens to me all the time

[mighty thunder]

i know that feeling lol

can you sell minerals on Orison yet?

[bright flame]

That is the definitive SC experience!

[lyric sleet]

My favorite is when my ship decides it's had enough of my crap and kills me off

[coarse cape]

My prospector is the opposite lmfao

It wants me to stay inside and traps me in the seat

[gilded bluff]

haha I knew I'm not alone! Killed me twice going in and twice trying to go out 😄

he is like "I see you having full cargo of quant, it would be so funny if you get stuck in your seat"

[finite siren]

30k's get expensive when mining with passive subs >_<

[mighty thunder]

suck when you go to Orison to sell but it doesnt work

[gilded bluff]

just died twice in a row trying to board the prospector, so annoying

[bright flame]

Yet another reason I love my MOLE. It's clunky and slow, but it only tries to sprain my ankles, not kill me outright.

[gilded bluff]

I'm farming in Prospector to buy a MOLE, cant skip a step here 🙂

[bright flame]

Sounds like a plan!

[hollow sedge]

who's a millionaire here with mining

[bright flame]

🖐️

[hollow sedge]

You start with what, because I'm brand new so I have nothing and I would like to make me a lot of money @bright flame

[bright flame]

Here's a guide on mining in 3.14: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=al97C_VdFUE

Here's another guide on how to find the Quant rocks that's difficult, but very effective once you get used to it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RadGv7QVcJw

[gilded bluff]

that's the spirit!

[hollow sedge]

@bright flame

which station is it

[empty ravine]

Prob dream station at CRU-L1 but, I am not sure

[bright flame]

CRU-L1, Though all of the -L1 stations have refineries.

[wild summit]

yesss finally

just found

quant

[wild summit]

Goatee video

I just got a 100% quant rock lets go

Noooooooo

I blew up

How am I not supposed to blow up

Honestly y

Why

I had 20SCU’s

I had so much

Man

[gilded bluff]

I found a decent one

[wild summit]

I thought I had some time

So deliver it

It gave me like 1 minute

It’s bud

BS

Are you not meant to scoop up 100%?

[hollow sedge]

is good to mining quantanium ?

[wild summit]

How do I not blow up. Do I have to install something?

[hollow sedge]

I lost my filter module because of a 30k

with quantanium you will explode no matter what @wild summit

[wild summit]

I thought I had some time to deliver it?

[hollow sedge]

if you don't arrive on time

[wild summit]

As soon as I started scooping I blew up

[hollow sedge]

15 lmin max

[wild summit]

I had 20SCU’s halfway full and the red alarm went of

I literally spent one minute

And it blew up

Am I missing something?

[hollow sedge]

exceed 15 minutes after extraction you explode

[wild summit]

Yeah

I only spent 1 minute

[hollow sedge]

it is done in prospector

[wild summit]

Not 15

[wild summit]

Yeah

[hollow sedge]

no rock

oh

[wild summit]

I had so much man

That’s really annoying

It’s the first time I found good quant

And I exploded

[hollow sedge]

your cargo or the pebbles that exploded?

[wild summit]

Cargo

Red light went off

Then

[finite siren]

Mining today is such a nightmare

[wild summit]

I just started scooping aswell

Is it a bug or am I just stupid

[finite siren]

Any workaround if you cant mine or scan a rock?

[wild summit]

Do it on land I guess

[hollow sedge]

arc L3 0 rock

wtf

I understand almost nothing of the video I'm not English, but going to 12.5 million there is no rock

@bright flame

[raw shell]

nice cluster, none of them scan

[gilded bluff]

sooo I pack full connie with quant and head to are18 to sell it ... my game desynced and I QT under the city and explode.
I spawn in my origin station and connie is claimable. Is the cargo gone if I claim? What are my options?

it was over mil worth of cargo I think

can I make a ticket somewhere? LOL

[grave edge]

you can make tickets at rsi's support page, idk if that'll help

https://support.robertsspaceindustries.com/

[gilded bluff]

gotcha

[ornate rock]

don't create tickets for that, support wont help you

the cargo is lost

[gilded bluff]

all that fking grinding

going trough all of the kinks, bugs, 30ks, crashing, getting stuck, getting killed just for a game to put you casually in the planet 😅

[ornate rock]

ye, can sometimes suck hard. gotta shrug it off and move on (or take a break)

but issues like this are why I usually advise against trading. it's not a very fleshed out loop to begin with and the frustration levels can be insane.

[delicate girder]

Don't fly your hard earned quant to the seller during peak playing hours and before to take off make sure the server is not packed to the gills with players. Get what looks like a good server on a server region which is close to you before going.

[raw shell]

anyone know of any workarounds or glitches to get rocks to scan?

like click control 3 times, get out of seat, sacrifice a virgin, sit back down and it magically works again?

[gilded bluff]

LOL thanks for the tips. My server wasn't full 45ish/60
And my region is always set on best, not much I could do

[delicate girder]

Yep, it happens to us all.

[gilded bluff]

maybe I should pack 1SCU in ships and transport one at time

[delicate girder]

Nope, but just leave those rocks and use this technique: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RadGv7QVcJw

[teal wing]

Servers are only up to 50, generally if the player limit appears to be over 50 it's an old server and you should take care

[delicate girder]

That or play on the server for about a half hour trying jumps and watching for desync before doing the transport. Maybe make the same jumps empty first to test it. Also, might reboot your network router and look into tweaks to make the network connection on your side better.

[wild summit]

Does your ship explode faster the more wuantanium you have on ur ship

[tame elbow]

No

[wild summit]

I had like 40SCU’s of quant and blew up instantly u

It didn’t even give me a chance

[tame elbow]

15 minute timer from the time you extract the first piece

[wild summit]

Guess it was just a bug

[tame elbow]

It can also blow up if you take damage or collide hard

[wild summit]

It was my first time finding 100% quant

[tame elbow]

Landing too hard can do it

[wild summit]

I didn’t touch anything though

I just scooped up the rest and it started beeping

It’s a real shame. I was excited to refine that

[bright flame]

https://cornerstonebase.space/login/articles/articles/36-refinery-to-aaron-halo-mining-routes-3-14-0-live-rel1-2

[wild summit]

How much is a full quant load on a prospector worth?

Approximately?

Bcuz I have no idea

[bright flame]

There's some maps to show distances between different points to find the Aaron Halo

[tame elbow]

32SCU = 3200 units

Quant is worth 44/unit raw
It's normally worth 88/unit refined but demand is terrible RN so it sells for 80

3200 x 80 = 250k aUEC

[wild summit]

Oh

Ohhh

Ok

[finite siren]

But takes about 1day 10hours to refine

[wild summit]

Oh lol

I just wanted a new ship lol

[tame elbow]

Yeah but you can spend that time gathering more

No big deal

[finite siren]

yeah absolutely

[wild summit]

So you can refine multiple at once?

[gilded bluff]

and while you transporting it, game could just desync and destroy your ship with it

[tame elbow]

Yeah. Someone in here had over 40 refinery jobs going at once

I don't know if there's a limit but I've never seen it

[finite siren]

dont think so

[wild summit]

K I’m travelling back to Lyria hopefully I find some good stiff@

Stuff

Also I think you can glitch it to multiply your order

On a video I saw him dupe it 9 times lmao

[tame elbow]

You can try but they claimed to have fixed that exploit in 3.14.1

[finite siren]

yeah i havent got duplicates now

[wild summit]

Oh

[tame elbow]

Also CIG wiped one of my org buddy's accounts for abusing exploits

Had billions of aUEC and now they have 25k lmao

[grave edge]

lmao

[wild summit]

Oh

[finite siren]

1d18hours 32scu

[wild summit]

I just want money lmao

I wanna get a cool ship

[finite siren]

which is that? :>

i think ive mined 3-4million in this free fly so far 🤔

think im gonna get freelancer max or andromeda or mercury star runner for hauling quant :p

[wild summit]

I don’t know yet

Just a cool one

[finite siren]

seriously this is so irritating. Every second trip i cant scan or mine rocks

[wild summit]

Yeah try mining on land

[finite siren]

hate it xD

[wild summit]

ooh I just found a huge deposit

6 quant rocks

hopefully it doesn't blow me up for no reason this time

[bright flame]

Yeah, the unscannable rocks is a real frustration and one that I'm eager to see fixed.

[zinc oriole]

YOU HAVE WHAT

[finite siren]

xD

its not that hard

[zinc oriole]

Youre joking

ok wait, did u just start during free flight?

[finite siren]

i got 2million worth refining right now

yeah i dont have own prospector

[zinc oriole]

you rented it

?

dude youre magic .. how on earth

like damn

[finite siren]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=al97C_VdFUE
Thats a good vid to get started

[zinc oriole]

oof

[finite siren]

1m per hour is not possible with current bugs id say

[zinc oriole]

this is crazy

hmmmmmmmmm

its something i could/should do

👀

[bright flame]

If you go flat out, it definitely is. I just sold 1.3 million of refined ore that took me about 45 minutes total to get through two runs with my MOLE, so it's certainly doable with a Propsector.

[finite siren]

well 1 mil is 4 trips with prospector and you gotta be lucky to find rocks almost instantly every time 🤷‍♂️

[wild summit]

Oh no

Please don’t say it did the glitch again

Noooo

I can be bothered

[bright flame]

Hmm, considering the time spent docking and going down to the refinery and back, probably closer to 1.5 hours to get a million in a Prospector.

[wild summit]

Why does it feel the need to change my mining head for no rewweon

[finite siren]

cluster of 9 best 16% -_-

[zinc oriole]

This video is awesome wow

ive seen others but they were... pretty bad xD

[bright flame]

Yeah, not every cluster is a winner, alas.

[pliant fjord]

The cluster next to my cursor 😏

hope to god they scan

[finite siren]

hehe same but different :p

[pliant fjord]

lets goo

[finite siren]

oh yeah cluster of 9 and cant scan

time to go to sleep

hope they get this fixed

[zinc oriole]

good night lol

[finite siren]

always remember to hail for landing when you leave station

now i can just alt f4 and my ship will be back at station tomorrow 🙂

[zinc oriole]

lmao

some 2000 iq shit

[wild summit]

great

no more mining for me

another glitch

[raw shell]

I was just able to bring in a full load of quantanium. There is still money that can be made.

That vid on finding clusters is a game changer.. necessary for this patch

[bright flame]

If I encounter two unscannable clusters in a row, I go back to station and dock, then log out and log back into a different server region.

[raw shell]

you don't log out in ship?

[bright flame]

As far as I'm aware, the infinite log-in screen bug is still a thing, and I figure if the server I'm on is buggy with the rocks, no sense tempting fate.

[raw shell]

I wasn't aware of that.. I log out in the halo pretty reguarly

[bright flame]

I'll give it a try next time and see how it goes.

[raw shell]

I did have a problem logging in on that E moon around microtech, awful weather on that one, but other moons I've logged out/in without issues. That E moon has been the only problem in weeks

[pliant fjord]

Only got 25SCU of quant because i missed one of the pure fragments, still a decent haul

[lyric sleet]

just had a haul of 20 scu and the refinery ate it

[pliant fjord]

F

[teal wing]

Yum yum yum

Will help the refinery grow up strong

[zinc oriole]

nomnom

ok srsly that sucks

[lyric sleet]

yeah but luckily i already had an order done and another one almost done

[proper hound]

so many unscanneable rock

[slim atlas]

yeah unfortunately

[lyric sleet]

i haven't had a problem with unscannable rocks luckily, just the refinery eating my ore

[proper hound]

11 cluster

none scannable

i dont know why it keep happening

[raw shell]

There is a thread in the issue council star citizen forum.. folks should pile on it to get visibility

Reg: scanning issues

[lyric sleet]

gonna try and get another 290k tomorrow so today was a mild success

[zinc oriole]

lit

[coarse cape]

are quant roids bugged or something

found 2 i cant scan

[bright flame]

Very. It seems to be a server-level issue, as some times I have no problems and other times every quant cluster is unscannable. I generally dock and log out then change to a different server region if I come across a bunch of unscannables.

[coarse cape]

yeah im doing that atm

[proper hound]

help out in council

the more people vote on the bug

the better dev will piority it

https://issue-council.robertsspaceindustries.com/projects/STAR-CITIZEN/issues/STARC-12226

[quick briar]

Is anyone else having issues with TDD? I cant get my ship to show up when I go to sell, Ive done this on both Arcorp and Hurston.

[delicate girder]

May mean you have nothing to sell.

Has anyone found a way to make dud asteroids (won't scan) come back to life so to speak? I have a custer which I know is a quant cluster if it was not bugged.

Damn cluster after cluster of these damn bugger roids!

[bright flame]

I've had a cluster start being scannable after getting about 500 meters away from a rock, but I've tried that on other clusters since then and it didn't work, so it seems to be quite random.

[lyric sleet]

Scanning is hit or miss atm

[quick briar]

The cargo is still in the ship, atleast visually. Ah well.

[mighty thunder]

well found a new bug, curse control doesnt work and my thrusters stay in one position lol

[delicate girder]

I fly completely out of scanner ranger and all the way back to 10 meters and nothing.

[bright flame]

Yeah, probably good indication to dock (or try bed-logout if you're brave) and sign into a different server region and try again.

[proper hound]

There are no work around this except pure luck

Your best chance is to go into a fresh server

Old server have a very high chance for this to happen

[delicate girder]

Not going to try a bed logout until a I deliver a bunch of quant to market. Was planning on doing that though since CIG says it's fixed. I'll believe it when I see it.

[lyric sleet]

Be warned, bed logout is still bugged so muster your courage if you try

[coarse cape]

been working for me

[proper hound]

With the prospector? @coarse cape

[coarse cape]

Ye

[proper hound]

Oh dam will try

[coarse cape]

only time it hasnt worked was when i joined a server that instantly 30k

[proper hound]

So you just went to bed and hover mouse to log out, right? Any extra step?

I am too scared since last time i did with the vanguard. It make me loop loading

[coarse cape]

just pressed log out

[marble crater]

I've had the bed logout bug quite a bit, pretty annoying

[bright flame]

I've noticed something interesting:

When using the zoom method to look for quant rock clusters in the Aaron Halo, I've noticed that the rocks will vanish at about the 15k m mark then re-appear at about 12k. However, rocks that are unscannable do NOT disappear. Sort of serves as a means of spotting unscannables as I get close to them.

Not sure how useful this is, but It's been reliable for predicting unscannable rocks so far.

[proper hound]

That is kinda hard to detect

[bright flame]

Indeed, not all that useful

[trim marlin]

will ship cargo disappear after the free fly event if i do not own the ship?

[bright flame]

As the ship will disappear, yes, anything that was in the ship will be gone.

[delicate girder]

As a rule, you don't want to leave stuff in a ship very long anyway.

[trim marlin]

ahhh tough i bought too much slam before reading up on it

[delicate girder]

So you didn't ready the many coments in the forum saying cargo hauling of any kind sucks? 😉

[trim marlin]

LOL yeah my mind just brushed over it

only down 100,000 aeuc so its okay

[delicate girder]

The only cargo hauling I do is hauling my mined and refined quantanium to market because it's a necessary evil.

CIG better get the cargo hauling mess fixed by the time the really bug hauling ships arive!!!

[frail quarry]

anyone here run a big ship? 890 or something?

stuck on the end of the system with my ship. need a piggyback

[delicate girder]

I run a Herc C2.

[frail quarry]

i dont think thats big enough

[delicate girder]

A piggyback?

[frail quarry]

instead of riding along and doing a claim

need my whole ship stowed

[delicate girder]

What ship?

[frail quarry]

hawk

i just dont have the fuel range to make it out of micro tech back to the center of the system

[delicate girder]

Can't ya refuel at lagrange points or ports?

[frail quarry]

i dont see any between me and the nearest cluster

[delicate girder]

Where are you?

[frail quarry]

MIC l1

INS jericho

[delicate girder]

You bought a Hawk and didn't switch the drive to an Atlas?

[frail quarry]

i went with a faster drive with mil spec
sort of built it as strong as i could, didn't mind the jump range drop because once im out of micro i dont need the stores for this ship anymore

when im back on that end i can make all the jumps no issue

[delicate girder]

So you have no range to get to anything from where you are? Why don't you just self destruct?

[frail quarry]

that still leaves me stuck on this side of the star map

[delicate girder]

You have no other ships?

[frail quarry]

i mean i do

but the whole point is to avoid the claim fees or having to move ships around

its alright, I'll figure it out.

[delicate girder]

Claim fees are so small, you can make that kind of money back in the time you save.

Good luck.

[frail quarry]

yes, if i had the money id do it

[bright flame]

There are no claim fees if you just wait out the timer. Also, all stations can refuel.

[frail quarry]

theres no stations mid way to refuel at

[bright flame]

MIC L1 has a station in it

[frail quarry]

i thought it was the jericho

[bright flame]

Hawk claim timer should be 2 minutes at most

[frail quarry]

guess i missed it

my claim is 5 on the hawk

[bright flame]

Huh! Not sure what the means of determining that timer is.

[frail quarry]

yeah im not too sure either

cant be overall cost, i have more expensive shit with 2 minute timers

[bright flame]

Are you unable to fly close to the Jericho and hail ATC to get landing for refuel? I've never been there, so I'm not familiar with it.

[frail quarry]

found the station, thanks for telling me otherwise I would have never found it

yeah the jericho was for fleet week. i think its a static deco now

[bright flame]

Gotcha

[delicate girder]

@frail quarry, you can make it across the system in any ship with any drive given time and a number of stops.

[frail quarry]

once i found that second station i made it

thank you for your time, homie

[rocky coral]

Whats the first upgrade I should get for my prospector?

[bright flame]

Lancet mining head. Then Brandt consumable. Then Atlas quantum drive for speed. That's all you need, really. Consider some passive modules for the mining head after that.

[lofty dock]

Hey guys I know this has probably been asked before but I really want to get into the mining loop and get my first mining ship but I still have the starter ship. How can I get there?

[quasi pagoda]

You should have a prospector for free fly for the next couple of days.

Why not start now and make enough with the prospector to buy a prospector?

After that you can easily complete the monitor missions. 20k auec in about 10 mins.

Just speed around take out the monitors and jump out before the guards arrive.

[rocky coral]

wiki says that you can get the lancet head at the refinery level on cru l1 ... just see the helix and imact there... things change?

[delicate girder]

I have 1.3 million in quant to sell at NB and it's fucking making me sell it in bunches of 25k every 10 mins or so!!! CIG sux!

https://uexcorp.space/refining told me the best price was at NB but it was wrong on the price so it's probably wrong on other things. What's the price and demand at Area 18 and Loreville?

[foggy iron]

@Palis I have always bought my Lancets at CRU-L1. Pretty sure I had to do that in 3.14 after a bug screwed things up.

[quasi pagoda]

Yeah I bought a lancet at CRU-L1 last weekend.

[rocky coral]

Thanks .. I see three heads stuck on the wall two Helix and one Impact ... i guess thats where i look?

[foggy iron]

Look in the terminal

[raw shell]

Terminal says "clothing" but they sell equipment too

[terse creek]

question : If i refine QT, can i load it in any wait in a friend ship ? to do a kind of team mining crew

[obsidian stone]

Not at this current iteration

[terse creek]

not even by any manual exchange, loading boxes or any ?

[obsidian stone]

nope

[terse creek]

thanks for the answer !

[delicate girder]

Anyone else having a b!tch of a time selling quant? I can only sell about 25k worth every 10 mins or so at NB. Didn't have this problem a few days ago at NB.

[obsidian stone]

Try A18. Demand there is typically higher.

[dawn hemlock]

Is it still possible to overclock your mining laser/does it have any effect?

Also, does increasing capacitor power to weapons do anything for the mining laser?

[shell frost]

whats a solid quantum drive for hauling in the Catti?

[manic whale]

The default one, Pontes, is pretty good.

[raw shell]

another nice cluster of quantanium that won't scan.

[proper hound]

try server hoping

it help me

[ornate rock]

used to be possible to EVA out of the ship

leave pilot seat, exit ship to zero g, enter ship again, enter pilot seat, try scanning again.

[raw shell]

yikes that sounds scary. I guess as long as the ship isn't moving you can do that?

[lyric sleet]

Space walking around your ship is fun

Get a crew together and practice hitting those moving ships lol then you can catch your buddy if his ship explodes and they're falling to a planet lol

[raw shell]

does 'effective range' affect extraction at all?

thank you @ornate rock I'll try that the next time I find a good cluster like that

[quasi pagoda]

Yeah, laser power reduced with range. You can even modulate your power by moving back and forwards instead of with the mouse wheel.

[hollow sedge]

i dont quite get it im on Arial now with my ROC but smh when I scan for Ores everything is for prospector/Mole

It wasnt like that before normaly there were only ores for small Mining vehicles now its everything for big one

Is Arial generally a Big Mining Ship Planet now instead of a ROC Mining Planet ?

[raw shell]

in the Mole, is turret #1 the one below the bridge?

[proper hound]

yes

[quasi pagoda]

Crystals only show up at 1.5km. makes ROC mining difficult.

[hollow sedge]

Do they have some sort of special icon ?

Or do i have to check every ores till someone looks smaller ? @quasi pagoda

[quasi pagoda]

They appear as crystals instead of rocks.

[hollow sedge]

Thanks 🙂

[raw shell]

holy cow I just parked my mole, powered down, got of the ship and it floated away

[gilded bluff]

LOL is it windy where you parked?

even better, did you pull the handbreak?

[raw shell]

it was at PO. Handbreak?!

[wild summit]

hmm

Ive found a quant deposit

40%

but only one

should I take it or looks for a group

[raw shell]

in a prospector?

I'd take it in a prospector

might even fill it up depending on the mass

[wild summit]

oh ok

man

my helix isnt even working

how on eath

Is the dposit too dificult

[raw shell]

helix for quant? you like living on the edge my friend

[coarse cape]

What’s the mass

[wild summit]

I literally have a HELIX HEAD

5932

[coarse cape]

Huh

[raw shell]

nice rock

[wild summit]

my lancet mhead is so glitchy

[coarse cape]

Planet or roid

[wild summit]

planet

[coarse cape]

Obsidian?

[wild summit]

huh?

[coarse cape]

Is it black and red

[wild summit]

I lef ti cuz it wont let me mine

I think it was actually

[coarse cape]

Helix should be able to mine that if you punch a surge in it

What modules are you running

[wild summit]

I don't have modules cuz they keep disappearing

[coarse cape]

Ah

I recommend getting at least a surge

[wild summit]

And ive lost so much onney

ive lost 100k on equiptment that dont even work

[coarse cape]

Also were you in optimal range

[wild summit]

yeah

[coarse cape]

Usually a helix should crack a rock that size

Hm

[wild summit]

I try minng witha lancet and it doesn't break through nything

[coarse cape]

Prob server issues of its a very tough rock

[wild summit]

its like it acts like the default

niceee

my game crashed

gotta love it

[coarse cape]

F

[wild summit]

mining really isnt worth it for mr

me

Ive spent 2 days trying to mine

and got nothing

[bright flame]

Lancet with a Brandt consumable should crack almost any rock. Some of the biggest rocks on Lyra require at least two lasers, but any space rock will be cracked with that combo, so long as it isn't bugged.

[wild summit]

not 1 auec

[coarse cape]

I would try Aaron’s halo

[wild summit]

I tried it

but scanners never work

[coarse cape]

Huh

You’re prob getting unlucky with your servers

[finite siren]

asteroid mining is currently mostly bugged

[coarse cape]

It works though

Just takes a while to find a nice rock

[wild summit]

yeah Ig

[finite siren]

but cant mine or scan them 🙂

[wild summit]

I just wanted some money

[coarse cape]

Think after the first xeno they might do a small patch and fix some of the spawn rates

[wild summit]

I don't know how to make money tho

someone suggested roc mining

[coarse cape]

How long are you searching for

[wild summit]

and said it was kinda fun

[wild summit]

?

[coarse cape]

Like how long are your mining trips

[wild summit]

until I crash, or 30k, or my mining head doesn't want to work

[wild summit]

I always find quant

[coarse cape]

Huh ok

[wild summit]

once I found a full 100% quant

[coarse cape]

Nice

[wild summit]

I put it into my ship then it blew up without a countdown 😦

didnt even give me 10 seconds

[coarse cape]

Usually does that if you hit something or jerk around too hard

[wild summit]

; (

well im off to try again

hopefully please work

[coarse cape]

Good luck

Try Aaron’s halo

[wild summit]

Ill put my lancet back on

[coarse cape]

They’re easier to crack

[wild summit]

I think I wil actually

[coarse cape]

Leave from cru l1 and go to arc l3

And stop at 12.5mil km

[lyric sleet]

I drop at 12.3

How many refinery jobs can be active at once

[coarse cape]

Infinite

[wild summit]

k thanks

[coarse cape]

Until you char reset or patch update

[quasi pagoda]

I currently have 4. Can't see why there would be a limit.

[finite siren]

hmm interesting first time i lost quant whilst running from ship to refinery.. 3200 -> 2500 at refinery :/

[coarse cape]

You won’t get full quant

You usually lose a little depending on the method you use

[finite siren]

dinyx is 3040 refined

but i lost quant from cargo

[coarse cape]

I use ferron

[finite siren]

left planet with full 32scu and i had free space when i went to refine

[coarse cape]

Rip

[finite siren]

im gonna try aarons halo now i hate mining on planets

[wild summit]

well

im now in jail

[finite siren]

xD

[wild summit]

because I accidentally crashed into an 890 jump

at port olisar

[bright flame]

Ah, the definitive Star Citizen experience.

[lyric sleet]

Had 1 running and 1 finished yesterday and when I went to add a 3rd, said one of the ones I had would be lost

[finite siren]

refining?

[lyric sleet]

Yeah

[bright flame]

Huh. I've never seen that, and regularlly have 5+ refining jobs going.

[finite siren]

yeah i havent seen any limit either

[lyric sleet]

I'll try and see if I can get it to happen again this evening and post screens of it

It was just annoying cause it cost me 20 scu of Quant

[finite siren]

yup aarons halo not working again

oh wow 3rd cluster worked!

nvm can scan and get mining ui but cant generate any heat

[gilded bluff]

lol

bummer

[bright flame]

I had a heck of a time last night, but eventually managed to round up 42 SCU of the stuff. Some days it seems like it's particularly more broken than others.

[finite siren]

back to lyria :<

[lyric sleet]

I manage around 60-80 scu of Quant an hour minimum in the halo

An hour

[wild summit]

Im in jail for 4 hours

cuz I blasted a guy witha multi tool

[gilded bluff]

LOL what?

[wild summit]

I didnt realise you could kill people

[gilded bluff]

hahaha me neither

[wild summit]

so I blasted someone

[gilded bluff]

thats just great 😄

mining ad or tractor beam? 😄

or cutter daaamn

[lyric sleet]

Tractor beam obviously lol

[quasi pagoda]

Are you sure it said the order would be lost, and not that unselected materials would be lost?

[lyric sleet]

Maybe but I usually refine everything so shouldn't be any unselected material

[quasi pagoda]

Fair enough. I generally only select the quant, not worthwhile refining beryl and quartz.

[finite siren]

pfft now cant even mine at lyria >_<

[lyric sleet]

Since I usually stay space broke, I take everything I can get lol

[quasi pagoda]

Did it look like this?

[lyric sleet]

Maybe was in a hurry to get the order going so something may not have gotten checked off
