14 hadenit rock

[royal spear]

Someone's having fun

[hollow sedge]

its funny when i am in a difrent ship ther is always allot of hadenit around me

[north oyster]

Yes, NPCs will spawn to attack you. I had one spawn on me when I had dropped down from an orbital marker on Aberdeen. I was able evade and escape (I do not have any guns on the Prospector)

[silent flare]

best place to mine stable rocks? not the dangerous stuff?

[thin escarp]

daymar and yela have some of the decent stuff

[cold gorge]

has anyone managed to actually make a decent profit from trading? I know you calculate circular routes that involve multiple commodities but I can't find anything decent. If anyone knows any decent routes, please send me a DM

[thin escarp]

aberdeen

trading is very sus rn

@cold gorge

[cold gorge]

rip

[cold gorge]

guess my c2 is useless

[thin escarp]

mine. and trade refining goods

refined mining goods

[cold gorge]

don't know jack about mining xD

know any good resources?

[slim atlas]

dont expect massive profits on trade its slow steady work

[thin escarp]

@cold gorgedm'd you a bunch of info

[native cedar]

Hi @thin escarp , do you think I can also get some info on mining?

[paper hill]

@thin escarp same here. can you send me some info too? thanks

[fresh ivy]

what should I put on a Prospector? I heard a Helix, but

now it seems to be Lancet?

[thin escarp]

lancet

get surge and brandt

modules

[snow flare]

how much does a ROC pull in for profit per load?

[bright star]

Full Hadanite = 220k aUEC
Full Aphorite = 112k aUEC
Full Dolovine = 110k aUEC

Hadanite = 275 aUEC per unit
Aphorite = 140 aUEC per unit
Dolovine = 110 aUEC per unit

[fresh ivy]

Can I buy those in Lorville?

Lancet mining head, modules, etc?

[olive wagon]

So if I store hadanite in a outpost it should stay there right?

[bleak edge]

Is it completely impossible to mine quantanium with stock prospector? 2mil aUEC away from buying one but trying to mine quantanium with the rented prospector until that time

Would be nice to get this rock but its impossible

[open pebble]

Anything good in the asteroid field between microtech and the inner planets?

[bleak edge]

Well u will find quantanium etc but u wont be able to mine it if u use the rented prospector

[worthy scroll]

I just realized that box missions aren't spawning for me anymore.

[open pebble]

I have my own prospector, not rented

Whoops...

So.. rock blew up in my face, ship isn't destroyed, but engines and weapons don't work

[worthy scroll]

I take it the deploy probe missions don't work either. It isn't registering that I grabbed it, even though I have it in my ship.

[native cedar]

Hey guys, quick question. I'm trying to by mining heads at HUR L1, but I cant access them through the terminal/kiosk. Is there another way that I am supposed to buy them?

[ripe thorn]

What mining modules should I be using on the Prospector when mining Quantanium? and how (would be helpful)

[open pebble]

Helix or Lancet

[native cedar]

Lancet

[open pebble]

If Lancet you'll need a surge module

[native cedar]

or sorry thought you talking to me

[open pebble]

Speaking of, anyone know how much space the mining heads take up in a ship's inventory? I want to buy a bunch from PO and bring them to microtech

[native cedar]

Nvm, you have to scroll the mouse wheel on the kiosk main menu

[solid citrus]

where is the ""No Questions Asked" Trading Console
Stanton > CRU L5 > CRU-L5 Beautiful Glen Station" I found a admin console but doesn't let me sell SLAM

[ember star]

Near the lockers

[solid citrus]

hmm... doesn't let me sell it

[bleak edge]

U have to lobbyhop like 5 times to sell all

[paper hill]

where can I buy the Lancet mining head

[fresh ivy]

I just picked one up in Lorville, I think you can also get them in New Babbage

[quick isle]

thats my problem no matter where i go i cant sell the stuff and its legal things too just wont let me sell only buy

[hollow sedge]

Soooo I just mined my first quantinium and got half a prospector full I started to panic and flew back to the station

Hafing half a prospector full of quantinium is good right

[main saddle]

funny thing, if I'm not looking for quantanium, i'll find it. Had to leave some behind, because I had 31.5 SCU of it in my prospector. The other .5 was beryl because i had tapped the mining laser to get it to scan a chunk.

that'll be my best quant haul ever

[hollow sedge]

Nice

[main saddle]

one rock was 47% and the other rock was some smaller percentage

took patience. I had a Lancet and no modules

[main saddle]

yeah, that's a decent haul, esp after refining it

[hollow sedge]

How much is it worth after refining it

[main saddle]

Just leave all the chunks floating until you're ready to vacuum them all up at once. 88 auec/unit, unless that's changed recently

[tame apex]

Is cargo any good? Im new and bought the avenger bundle

[main saddle]

so, 1600 units would be about 140k, minus your refining cost

[hollow sedge]

Wow

[main saddle]

with the Avenger, the margin on cargo will be slim due to the lack of space to carry much bulk -- unless you want to deal in vice

[tame apex]

Well im just starting out sooo any ammount is good haha

[main saddle]

you could do delivery missions, which pay 8k to deliver 3 boxes -- without out of pocket expense

[tame apex]

Good idea, im new so once I find the mission I jsut load them in the cargo bay?

[main saddle]

yeah you can carry them in the ship and set them down

[tame apex]

kk ty

[worthy scroll]

Ships with smaller cargo will probably get a lot more profitable once we get actual cargo missions in the game.

[main saddle]

yeah

[hollow sedge]

On the display of the refinery it stayed 1544 does that mean that I will get 140k or is some being lost

[main saddle]

depending on the refining method, you'll get some yield loss

[hollow sedge]

I did the dixyl or however it's called

[main saddle]

the cheapest method is Dinyx Solvenation, but it takes about 24 hours to process

[hollow sedge]

But gives high yield

[main saddle]

yeah

I did an analysis a while back on the different methods using Laranite. Ferron Exchange was 97% the profit of Dinyx Solvenation, but in 33% of the time required.

[royal lark]

hi guys, I've been ROC mining a bit now and wanna try ship mining. Is it pretty much the same when it comes to the process (how to mine, sell, etc.) or is there something important I should know?

[main saddle]

mining is similar UI. However, you'll take your ore to a Refinery. You can sell raw for half the potential profit, or you can refine it for maximum profit by selling the refined ore at somewhere like Lorville or A18 at the trade center. You'll need a ship with enough cargo space to transport the refined ore. You can rent ships at the refinery.

[royal lark]

aight I see ty!

[solid citrus]

Do I have to keep doing lobbyhop to be able to sell all my cargo every time?...

[rain ice]

how does splitting profits work if it's a crew of random players (in say, a mole?)

[tulip dune]

Hey I was thinking about setting up a cargo company, anyone thinking this way?

[west rapids]

Any sugar space daddies wanna help a new player buy a prospector? 😍🤣

[tulip dune]

lol

[marble crater]

as someone who has been mining in a Prospector for a little bit (since 3.12) is it worth trying out solo Mole mining? Bit hesitant to drop $5M auec to try it if it's a major hassle

[tulip dune]

I wish it'd be possible to do deliveries for people that like mining. Working like a truck

[snow flare]

any of you solo the ROC -DS? how is it if so? is it a pain?

[restive sorrel]

They should let you deliver goods for players from station to station as a way of moving inventory and making remote purchases

And valet services would be cool

[supple palm]

hey, I'm relatively new to the game and questioned myself it it's actually worth it to search for valuable ores when ship mining with the rental prospector or if I should just scoop up literally everything to make the money trough a large quantity of refined ores
cause I find it quite challenging to first of all find valuable ores and second of all to find the ones that I can actually mine
the goal is an own prospector so I can actually mine quantanium and earn money

[raw shell]

It has problems. Changed from 3.15. Planet side mining is a mess. The turret jitters all over the place, messing with the laser power, then there is some graphical bug that makes it look like the ship is crashing into the ground but its not. The graphics snap back but it's stressful. Planet side has the spawns that can make use of the MOLE cargo size. Halo mining isn't fked up like planet mining but the spawns are smaller and harder to find.

I'll probably get one in hopes they fix the mole issues. There is a issues council thread open on it.

[marble crater]

appreciate the info. might stick with my Prospector for a bit longer for solo then until they patch some of the problems I think

[raw shell]

Income with the prospector has been steady and relatively stress free compared to my experience with the mole when I got the free rental

[humble magnet]

@supple palm I found the rented Prospector with the default mining head to be pretty limited and useless. You really need to be able to change the mining head and use some of the consumable mods to get that Quant You def need something better than the rental default. I ended pledging for a prospector in the end...

[sudden dawn]

can ROC mining laser be changed and is it necessary to do so if so?

[supple palm]

the problem is I'm deadass broke both ingame and irl xD

so paying for the prospector is not an option :c

but I found mining to be the best option to make money with low effort and low risk of dying

I tried trading as well but it's not really worth it unless you can spend 6 figures worth of ores and stuff

so my current plan is probably mining untill I have enough money to just trade my way up I guess

[woeful bloom]

Just started mining in a Prospector for the first time. Where would I go for the most profitable non-splody ore?

[fickle scaffold]

I found a could of 30-50 % quantainium rocks but I cant seem to mine them

the meter kinda just stops at 10-30 %

(I'm in a stock prospector)

is it because of the mass of the rocks?

they are around 4500-5000k mass with around 0.3 resistance

[open pebble]

You need a better mining laser, or the surge component

[fickle scaffold]

Aah, how much does that cost?

And what is the best mining laser? I see people recommend lancet, but it has lower power transfer than arbor

@sysdrift any other things that are worthwhile to mine in stock prospector? I dont have money for any upgrades (i only have 8k)

[ruby moth]

Helix will give you the most power. But if you are looking to do Quant the Lancet gives you a bigger green area. That's why people recommend it for quant.

[fickle scaffold]

@ruby moth Aah, okay. So lancet for green area and surge modules for more juice?

[ruby moth]

yep. Keep in mind you'll still have issues breaking LARGE quant rocks with a lancet

[fickle scaffold]

So the large rocks are just out there teasing everyone?

[ruby moth]

put your laser right up touching the rock

I haven't used the prospector in a while, not sure what the actual limit on size would be solo. we just mole mine mostly now

[fickle scaffold]

Aah, so you are in like an org that goes mining together?

[ruby moth]

yea. less of an org that just a community of people since orgs aren't really a thing yet

actualy probably have guys from multiple orgs lol

also- some guys will dual prospector.

that teamwork really solves the big rock issues

[fickle scaffold]

Aah, cool, didnt know that

[unique scaffold]

im looking for one other who owns a prospector to go prospector mining, NA servers, dm if interested

[subtle cradle]

I never mined anything bigger than a 5122 mass rock with a prospector. Don't really need to either since a 30%+ quan or so fills it up completely

[dim igloo]

are there trade terminals at port tressler?

[woeful bloom]

So if my prospector blows up I lose my mining laser modules?

[raw shell]

Yep

[burnt wigeon]

Hey all, so... I'm in New Babbage with my Cutlass and recently purchased ROC. Where do I pick up the ROC and shove it into my cargo bay?

[scarlet rover]

I think you can land near the surface entrance and spawn it in the garage

it's by the Commons

and another by the Promenade

I got a question too. I'm newbie space miner - where should I check for asteroids? Nearest belt?

[verbal cargo]

You can pick up the roc on any outpost on moons.

[main saddle]

I found it to kind of be a hassle. Asteroids float out of range of the laser, so you have to climb back up to the pilot seat and readjust position. If you're trying to vacuum up quant, this will be added time as well, if you have to reposition after already getting some in the hold.

[void tendon]

can you not change the head on a rental?

[main saddle]

nope

[void tendon]

oh sad, was gunna rent one to try some quant mining but I guess not now

[main saddle]

people used to get around that by loading up the personal hangar, but the personal hangars aren't active now

[void tendon]

so whats up with roc mining? Why would I ever use an ROC over just hand mining?

they cant fit in caves, and generally the suction mode is kinda worthless cause it just scatters the ore all over the place

I was hoping the ROC would be able to mine the big rocks the prospector can but no...

[main saddle]

when it all worked, ROC mining could get you a pretty good profit on just one cluster of hadanite or even dolivine. I never filled mine up. After I mined a cluster, I'd fly to the outpost and sell it straight away.

[void tendon]

when it all worked?

did they ruin it recently?

[main saddle]

i heard it's been wonky, but haven't tried it yet on 3.15 yet to know what exactly is the issue

i dunno. maybe since bounties are janked at the moment, i'll rent a ROC today

[void tendon]

I'd love to know how it goes for you. I've been mining on Aberdeen and getting ~20k per deposit when I find one

they just seem really hard to find, fly around for 20+ min and I find maybe 1 cluster

[main saddle]

yeah, the detection range is dismally low

[scarlet rover]

I'm using a ship but when I target an asteroid with the laser, it doesn't give any scan results. Am I doing something wrong?

[main saddle]

are they dud asteroids?

some clusters aren't scannable and you have to move on to another. If you know they should be, you can pop the rock with the mining laser and it might scan

by pop, I mean tap

[amber path]

anyone have nice trade runs site ?

[main saddle]

This is the one usually recommended here:

[blissful steeple]

Re Lancet vs Arbor (and even Helix) power levels... Mining laser power going up is to penetrate high resistance. In any high resistance rock (like quantanium) the lancet has more effective power than any other laser, the broadening of the optimal zone is just icing on the cake. In a dual mining scenario, a lancet/lancet is better than lancet/arbor, but lancet/helix is better than lancet/lancet.

[paper hill]

hello all, mining noob here. Got bored of slapping Idris and Hammerheads with my Ares Ion. Looking for something else to eventually bore me. Decided to take up mining. Bought myself a Prospector and read about the Lancet mining head over the Helix for Quantanium. I heard that they sell the Lancet at Tammany and Sons on Lorville. So, i'm here on Lorville at Tand S but the only thing that i see is clothing line and when I go into the terminal the only thing it offers is their clothing line. Am i missing something here?

[blissful oxide]

scroll

in the "headline"

[paper hill]

thanks thhat helped. I feel like an dork.

[blissful oxide]

😄

Just got a good mining run

25m run, for 82scu Quantanium
I hoped I had that more often x)

[void tendon]

damn whats the $$$ on that?

[blissful oxide]

around 700k I'd say

[void tendon]

holy shit

[blissful oxide]

4d of refining though x)

[void tendon]

if only you could switch the mining heads on the rental 😭

[paper hill]

another question from the noob miner here, what modules should i be getting for the mining head?

[void tendon]

I heard torrent III is good for quant

with stampede and uhhh forgot the other one

[blissful oxide]

Surge + Stampede + Optimium
That way you can mine any rock solo

maybe replace stampede or Optimium with torrent III

[void tendon]

can you mine any rock with 2 prospectors?

[blissful oxide]

Yup

[void tendon]

hmm might have to get me and a friend to rent one lol

[blissful oxide]

With only 1 prospector you need modules though

Ah, with default lasers I dunno

[void tendon]

oh I see

[blissful oxide]

The Arbor is pretty hard to mine Quanta :/ The instability is pretty high

[void tendon]

yeah I'm trying to find ways to fund a prospector for myself lol

[west rapids]

I pledged with a freelancer, but I really wanna get into mining and the rental prospector is doodoo.....id rather not spend $200 on a prospector, so would upgrading my freelancer to one, and then making money to buy another freelancer in game be worth it?

[blissful oxide]

for 100% quanta rock it's a pain

[void tendon]

you can always rent the ROC hahahaa 😭

[blissful oxide]

It could
but keep in mind Mining require lots of experience to be more profitable than bounty/mercenary

[west rapids]

ROC isnt bad, but its pennies compared to a proper prospector run

[void tendon]

I dont see why I'd ever use an ROC over hand mining tbh

[blissful oxide]

Roc is pretty buggued too 😦

[west rapids]

i was doing well with a ROC, the worst part I find is actually extracting, the gems fly all over the place

[void tendon]

yeah

[blissful oxide]

yeah, it collects 1 by 1 :/

[west rapids]

unless someone wants to loan me auec for a prospector and ill pay it back as I make it 😛

[blissful oxide]

Just bought a Mole, I'm poor now x)
all my money is in the refinery 😂

[void tendon]

bought a mole in game?

lucky

need someone to man a turret?

[hazy ice]

this happens sometimes with server lag

[blissful steeple]

I have a prospector and 400i pledged. I mined and sold 1 load at a time until I could buy a taurus, now I'm buying a MOLE as soon as my quant comes out of the oven this evening. Then I can work toward a caterpillar or C2 with the proceeds from the MOLE. Not entirely sure what to do after that

I haven't done any ROC mining since 3.13, but in my experience you can prevent throwing the hadenite all over the place if you schlorp it up slowly, waiting for the first piece to get pulled up before you move on to the rest.

It's def a lag thing

[royal spear]

Is it worth pledging for a prospector or do I just rent them until I can buy with aUEC?

[raw shell]

I rented then bought it in game

[blissful steeple]

The issue with Renting is that you can't (or at least you aren't supposed to be able to...) change the mining head, so you can't mine quant without help. The next most valuable mineral is Bexalite (at half the value) but it's exceedingly rare. If you already have a cargo ship, then you can probably get by renting the prospector and mining laranite or something to grind out your own prospector, but it would be a lot more effective to own a prospector with a lancet, and rent the cargo ship when you need it. That said, I'm not going to tell you how to have fun, or suggest anyone spend any more real money on this game than they absolutely have to, so "do you" and have fun.

[west rapids]

where do i find the lancet mh1 on cru l1? theres only rental and clothing screens in the refinery store

[blissful steeple]

Scroll down while you hover over the item headers in the console

then you'll see the utility header, which contains the mining heads and modules

[west rapids]

amazing thank you

[blissful steeple]

o7

[royal spear]

I think I'll only really get excited about mining when there are functional waypoints and/or being able to transfer mined cargo to a hauler friend and keep mining. It is really off-putting finding some good shit with a full hold and having to way to get back to it.

[west rapids]

so i headed to port olisar to buy an Atlas QD as its suppose to be at Dumpers Depot, but its not in the list

[worthy scroll]

Atlas is only sold at HUR L5.

[west rapids]

ah the wiki is out of date i suppose

[royal spear]

I use this https://finder.cornerstonebase.space/

[worthy scroll]

I just use Erkul

https://www.erkul.games/

[royal spear]

didn't know Erkul gave you location to buy 😮

is there any value in changing mining arms on ROC?

[worthy scroll]

Yep. You can even build up a "shopping cart" and then use that for quick access to where to buy the parts for your loadout.

[royal spear]

Seems to easy to crack rocks with the stock one

[west rapids]

thanks again friends!

[worthy scroll]

You can do this once you've made a loadout, then instead of clicking everything to see where to buy it, you can just look in your cart.

[royal spear]

niice

Anything else worth changing on Prospector other than the laser?

and maybe qt

[worthy scroll]

Used to be shield as well in case you crack something too close to yourself.

I used to take the guns/gimbals off to save on power, since those really aren't going to help you much anyway.

[main saddle]

Best Prospector haul I've had. Found an asteroid yesterday that was 47% Quantainium. Filled the Prospector and had to leave some of it behind. Had 4 units of Beryl or it would have been 100% Quantainium in the bags.

Used a Lancet with no modules. I wasn't actually trying to find Quant at the the time.

[royal spear]

What shield you recommend?

[worthy scroll]

Probably Palisade, that's the strongest. Used to be the old recommended one too.

[royal spear]

Yeah was thinking Palisade

[main saddle]

Yeah, just need it as strong as possible to take that hit. Recharge rates, etc., aren't really a factor.

[royal spear]

hmm Erkul not counting Lancet as non stock item so not adding to basket 😦

[worthy scroll]

Just look in the info part of the screen to see where to buy it.

[royal spear]

pretty sure it's any refinery

hmm maybe not

[balmy nymph]

Oh hell yes, my first proper quant (this is with the lancet already on it)

Also got a perfect break with 100% quant in two fragments. Hnnnggggg

[hollow sedge]

Wer do I finde qanntinium

[royal spear]

What consumables for quant mining?

[slim atlas]

bah I bought scrap and now wondering are there any of the salvage places detecting ships lol been to two and no luck

[hollow sedge]

I bought back my Orion and I want to mine in the mole. Anyone wanna join?

[void tendon]

do we get a cut?

[hollow sedge]

Yeah. That’s how I like to run stuff wouldn’t be fair otherwise

[void tendon]

Ill pass for now cause I'm busy with irl stuff 😦

[peak grove]

Hello, Roc mining is brocken? I can’t use track to beam to harvest minerals 🤔

[rose root]

Hi amms? have you got it set to the right mode?

[balmy nymph]

Haven't used a Roc, but I assume that the mining laser works the same. Two modes: 'mining' and 'extraction'. Mining mode fractures rocks into smaller pieces, when the border is purple you can use extraction mode to actually pull materials out.

Note that with the Prospector swapping in/out of mining laser mode can bug out the UI and you may have a fracture laser with an extraction mode hud sometimes...

[peak grove]

Yes

Extraction mode

[balmy nymph]

Is the rock border purple?

[atomic lark]

What mining laser is working for everyone now, been out of the mining game for awhile

Helix still the best?

[royal spear]

Lancet afaik

Are passive modules consumed or only active ones?

[atomic lark]

The lancet can crack quant rocks with a prospector?

[balmy nymph]

Yep.

[atomic lark]

Thought only the helix could do that

Wild

[royal spear]

yep

[balmy nymph]

I cracked the one in my screenshot above with a Lancet, didn't use any of the modules either.

[atomic lark]

Well dope the lancet is cheaper too isnt it?

[royal spear]

I believe so

[atomic lark]

Cool i last remembered having to use a helix and stampede to crack the quant rocks

So good to know things changed alot

Thx

[tall rune]

I had this idea of a two seater mining ship from Greycat Industrial. 48 SCU two size 1 mining heads maybe?

[royal spear]

A minimole

I think 2 prospectors would be better tho

[balmy nymph]

i've been using a lancet, with a surge, stampede, and brandt. never used the brandt though.

[royal spear]

I've been kitting mine out today went for Surge, Focus 3 and Torrent 3. Will report back tomorrow when I get a chance to try it

[balmy nymph]

Interesting idea with the focus/torrent, let us know. I tend to think the Surge is kinda mandatory for big rocks, but the stampede is more of a 'do eeet faster' module, and the brandt is... well, a quality of life, i guess. even 100% quant is crackable with a lancet and a bit of care.

[tall rune]

What do they do again?

[tall rune]

I usually use the filter XL and two that increase the optimal window by 8%

[clever flint]

anyone want to go roc mining

[tall rune]

Ah I see

[tall rune]

2% doesn't seem like a lot tho

[royal spear]

Yeah dno if it's worth but I usually like to be quite switched off while mining and the more passives the merrier 😛

[balmy nymph]

i'd probably favor the lowest instability possible if you want to just cruise. that way you don't get the random instability kicking up power into a feedback loop, which is Exciting.

[royal spear]

That might be an issue but so far had no issues with instability so didn't really think it would be an issue 😛 we'll see if I blow up 😛

[tall rune]

Which mining head do you guys usually use and why? I currently really like the lancet one

[royal spear]

I did get a palisade for that very eventuality.

[royal spear]

From what I can tell Lancet is just the meta.

anyway bed time. Safe flying o7

[silk crescent]

quick Q: is hauling worth it in a Titan or should I keep doing other stuff until I can save up for something with more space to rent/buy?

I realize multiplication helps with larger loads equaling larger payouts

[atomic lark]

No, titan doesnt hold enough cargo to be worth it

Fuel would cost more than your gains

[valid shoal]

hey is there cargo missions, like transport to do with a good cargo ship that are worth the time/money?

[silk crescent]

Didn't consider fuel, makes sense then

But perhaps if running something else in the area it could be a bonus thing

[atomic lark]

You can do delivery missions

[silk crescent]

yesterday I did a derelict mission and a party formed while I was flying there. Two of them met me and one decided to load up my titan with the random boxes while I was in the wreck in case I wanted them

[valid shoal]

yeah but its only lil packages, does it get better as my reputation go up? like vehicles

[atomic lark]

Pretty sure you can sell those

[silk crescent]

I sold a handful of them for 18 credits each lol. There was some minerals worth about 300, so that paid for fuel

Some scrap and waste is just trash, sadly

[atomic lark]

No idea, I don’t think so

[silk crescent]

I saw someone comment that you can get 45k delivery package jobs once you have better rep

[atomic lark]

Not sure if any of them are worth it, not sure how to id whats inside until you get to a terminal

[silk crescent]

you can tell what type they are

Anything biohazard or recycle logos ignore

[atomic lark]

Makes sense

[silk crescent]

I might nab the boxes labeled "crystalline minerals" or whatever it is

little bonus here and there

[atomic lark]

Each box is 1scu right?

[silk crescent]

less

SCU is the large crates in the cargo area

IIRC

[balmy nymph]

those FPS boxes aren't really SCU cargo. you can throw them anywhere in the ship, doesn't use cargo space. but you need to have an interior to put them in, so i don't think you can put them in fighters.

well, the hand delivery boxes i mean.

(nfi about the ones you find in wrecks, i assumed they were garbage and left them, maybe i should have loaded some up and looked, eh?)

[silk crescent]

I always ignored them before, but because someone else loaded me up I took them to NB and sold them at the trading console

[balmy nymph]

did the trading console detect them if they were just chucked on the beds or whatever?

[silk crescent]

Only the minerals (same stuff as minable goods basically) were worth anything

Yeah, they were loose in the cargo area and it recognized that they were available from my stored Titan

[balmy nymph]

Cool, that's good to know. I'll try that next time, see how it goes 🙂

[silk crescent]

I do recall that on one of the missions to a derelict where there were bad guys, I found a package that was clearly meant to look like drugs

I've not done any illegal cargo missions, so I have no idea of the worth, but potentially that could be a route to money

[balmy nymph]

could also be a route to jail 😛

[silk crescent]

exactly why I left it there lol

[spark cradle]

Hello, I'm trying to mine quantanium. I tried Yela, Clio and Euterpe moon during more than 5 hours and I never found a rock with quantanium... But I've found on a website that quantanium can be found on these moons. Is it buggued ? Where can I find quantanium ? Thanks

[balmy nymph]

Thinking of something to buy with aUEC that would be a good cheap runabout. I have a pledged Prospector and an Andromeda, so I have a lot of bases covered, but I want something that's easy to get in/out of, has a bit of cargo, can do a little pew pew in a pinch, quick to claim if I need it somewhere, and cheap. I was thinking of either the 100i or the Titan. Thoughts?

Damgot: You may have just had bugged rocks. Look at the rock if you can't scan it and see if it has orange bits on it. If it does, it's quant and it's bugged out. Some servers do that more than others.

[verbal cargo]

Can confirm this is the case. Great way to make quick cash once you build the rep

[silk crescent]

Nice, thanks. Might have to grind

[silk crescent]

I pledged with the Titan and I'm very happy with it so far. It was that or the 100i which I really liked, but I ended up with the Titan for the additional weapon mount and cargo space. I also like that it has entry via both ladder and ramp

From what I hear, the 100i is great with fuel, which is nice

[balmy nymph]

Yeah, I liked that about the Titan when I tried it during IAE - just being able to jump into it like a fighter.

[silk crescent]

The ramp helps a lot during EVA too

carrying boxes of armor out of the 890j anyway 😉

[marble crater]

Titan would be a good pick. A bonus for the 100i series is that you can spawn them at the small ground outpost pads as an emergency vehicle.

[silk crescent]

^^

[marble crater]

I grabbed a 125a just for box deliveries and as that emergency outpost option. Have had to call it in twice already after having my ship blown up on the pad by a player lmao

[silk crescent]

I'm going to jinx myself but I've not had that happen yet. No griefing at all, in fact

[balmy nymph]

Really? The 100i is small enough to do that with? That's interesting.

[silk crescent]

My first ingame purchase is probably going to be a cutlass black, just the usual upgrade path

[balmy nymph]

I don't need much cargo, just some in case I have a desire to do some box missions. If I want bulk cargo, I've got the Andromeda.

[silk crescent]

If not a prospector so I can mine my way to getting both lol

[silk crescent]

If it's just box delivery then the 100i is the winner IMO, but if you need actual SCU cargo, then the Titan has way more

it's like.. 2 in the 100i vs. 8 in the Titan

[balmy nymph]

I was thinking the cuttie, but it's too much of a halfway. I have a need for something small with short claim time, quick and easy to get in/out of etc.

[silk crescent]

48 seconds or so for the Titan. I'm sure the 100i is similar

[balmy nymph]

(oh, and also something that's effective with the default loadout because it'll be getting claimed a lot :P). Yeah, I think it's down to either the Titan or the 100i. I don't think any others really fit the bill for what I'm after, and... err I don't like the Aurora 😛

[silk crescent]

I didn't either lol

Last few days of the Expo I specifically rented the C8X Pisces, Titan, and 100i and did some test flights

[marble crater]

300i/325a is another decent option to the Titan

[silk crescent]

I liked them all for different reasons, but the Titan won out. Bed inside, Cargo/interior access, Default Weapons, Access choices, and price. Complete package

[marble crater]

Also the Nomad

which can also carry a ROC if you're into that

[silk crescent]

Counterpoint: I dislike the Nomad.

[marble crater]

fair enough

[silk crescent]

But each to their own; it's a fair choice for similar feature sets if those interest someone

And definitely a good ship with plenty of cargo and weapons for flexibility

[marble crater]

Reliant Kore is cool but had a very buggy time with it in 3.14 spawning on the pad in upright mode. Not sure if that's fixed

[silk crescent]

I saw a post today on reddit so I'm pretty sure it's still having issues

[marble crater]

but I really enjoyed that ship when it worked

[silk crescent]

I flew one during expo, it was neat

[spark cradle]

Hello, where did you find quantanium ? I'm trying to find one quantanium rock during 6 hours on Yela, Clio, Euterpe and Lyria and I could not find any ? Aaron belt is still a good choice ? Thanks

[wooden trellis]

Hey folks! I'm new to mining and have a mole. I got the lancet and I'm not sure if i should get any other lasers. can anyone give me a pointer into what I should do?

[blissful steeple]

Any L3 station has quantanium floating around near it. From what i understand, scanners are wonky on terrestrial surfaces right now, so mining for quantanium on moons will be slow going for now.

[blissful steeple]

Lancet/helix is the best possible combination, with lancet/lancet coming up just behind. There's nothing in the game you can't crack with two lancets.

[wooden trellis]

Thank you! ❤️

[atomic lark]

Where you buy surge? Cant find anywhere

[balmy nymph]

HUR-L1

[atomic lark]

Thx

[balmy nymph]

you know about the clothing shop 'trick' in the refineries right?

[royal lark]

Hi guys, I've been thinking of upgrading my Nomad to a RAFT but I've got three questions:

• Can you load an ROC onto it?
• Can it be flown solo or is the second person necessary
• I hear people saying the cargo container stuff is good, but what is the point of the containers? Does it allow for some missions or what?

[balmy nymph]

the raft doesn't have internal cargo, it has containers, which aren't implemented right now, so it's just got 'fake' cargo capacity. i don't think you can load any vehicle onto it.

[royal lark]

Alright thanks

[balmy nymph]

in theory the idea is that it should be able to transfer cargo quickly by just dumping the containers off instead of unloading the boxes, but none of that physicalized cargo loading/unloading is implemented yet.

[royal lark]

Oh okay so as of right now there's not much reason to really think about whether a ship can carry containers or not?

[silk crescent]

At this point, correct

[open pebble]

There used to be an asteroid field around here

Looks pretty empty though

[marble crater]

closer to the solid inside circle line

the line closer to the sun

[open pebble]

So, the line that HUR L3/4/5 are on?

Or the CRU ones?

[marble crater]

CRU L5 line

[open pebble]

Gotcha, thanks

Also, what's a faster quantum drive I can put in a prospector that has good range?

[marble crater]

Atlas or Voyage

[worthy scroll]

Atlas is the recommended one due to fuel efficiency and speed.

[marble crater]

Voyage is a little faster but uses more fuel. Can still make the longest jumps in 1 go

[open pebble]

I'll check those out, thanks

[worthy scroll]

Picking drives is like picking a car engine for fuel efficiency. The faster it goes, the more fuel it uses, so you get less distance.

[marble crater]

I tend to mine close to the Refinery so use Military drives for the speed

[wild nacelle]

Is there any way for somebody else to freight your refined ores?

[open pebble]

Ok, so my first time mining quant.. how the hell do I actually get to a refinery in time?

[wild nacelle]

Only pick up the purple rock stuff once you are ready to leave then hustle

[open pebble]

Mmm yea I was thinking that as well

Also, jettison cargo doesn't seem to work

[wild nacelle]

Alt J?

[open pebble]

Yea, nothing happens

[wild nacelle]

Sorry, I can't help as I'm still earning enough to hire a transport ship so I can sell my material

[open pebble]

Yea, I've got that part covered, just need to actually reach a refinery before my cargo goes poof

Btw, I don't know why people say not to use a Helix laser for mining quant, worked great for me

[rose root]

is there a general timer on quant?

[verbal cargo]

you have to hold alt+J for a few seconds once the timer starts beeping for volatile cargo

[verbal cargo]

about 14 min

[open pebble]

So I can only jettison if I have volatile cargo?

[verbal cargo]

yes, for now anyway

[crystal owl]

Are you using any modules?

[open pebble]

Yea, just the Brandt when cracking the smaller chunks

Also, anyone know if the FLTR-XL module stacks?

[main saddle]

You want to be half way between the displayed belt and the CRU L5 line (also Crusader's line)

Using that info, one can plot a course from any point to another point and drop out of QT at that halfway point.

[delicate girder]

I believe they do stack, but they're very expensive to loose so I usually don't. Plus I want other things like surges.

Are there any good pointers on locating good roids in a belt vs going to Lyria? I tried it a couple days ago and was not very productive. Miss the technique you could use in 3.14 which seems to be dead now.

[delicate girder]

1. no, 2) Yes, but I don't think there are any guns for the pilot, 3) Not at this time.

I'd rather buy the cheapest Connie for a little more.

[spark cradle]

Thanks a lot

[delicate girder]

Never had much luck in 3.13 and 3.14 finding much quant near the refineries. Is it more prevalent in 3.15?

[blissful steeple]

no L3 stations have refineries, those are mostly at L1 stations.

[thin escarp]

hur l2 also has refinery

[delicate girder]

Ah, yeah. How is the likelyhood of finding quant near an L3 station compared to finding it in Aron Halo in 3.15? Not counting the security differences of the two and challenge of hitting the sweet spot in the Halo.

[thin escarp]

cru l3 is good hur l3 is good

stay about 70-100 km from it

[delicate girder]

For security?

The other night I was not having a bit of luck in the Halo but I'll give the L3 locations a shot before going back to Lyria.

[thin escarp]

@delicate girder nah just seems to be where the rocks start to form

[delicate girder]

In 3.13 and 3.14 it used to be that I could make a pseudo stealth build of the Prospector and stay more hidden form PKs and NPCs, but I wonder if that's valid any more given the EM is so high in 3.15.

[ancient ivy]

Is this the visual technique for spotting clusters you mean?

[real carbon]

Hi which is the best location/route for roc mining?

[hollow sedge]

There's a couple of pinned messages to this thread.

[rose root]

ok made it to the halo.....but cant scan the rocks in the prospector lol

[real carbon]

ok thx I didn't know that

[hollow sedge]

No worries, it took me a little while to find them which is why I took a screen shot.

https://youtu.be/jGtxFUIMya8

These are where I got some tips from.

The ROC does fit in the Nomad, which I think is the smallest cheapest in game ship you can use.

[mortal furnace]

can i use mole for solo mining?

[pallid temple]

No

[mortal furnace]

why?

[pallid temple]

The clue is in the name MOLE - "Multi Operator Laser Extractor"

[hollow sedge]

Some people do. Have a look on YouTube for guides. I think you have to switch seats a lot.

[mortal furnace]

so every mining head used to do different thing?

[hollow sedge]

I think it's more about no single mining head has enough power to crack a rock.
Personally I prefer the ROC for mining.
Waiting for 3.16 and mining gadgets, it might improve things for the MOLE

[mortal furnace]

i see thanks~

[strange flume]

wow trading is painfully slow. trying to sell WiDoW and boy do i regret buying it

[mortal furnace]

why widow tho xd

[strange flume]

it was close, cheap and reasonable payback for a 4 minute trip, and i only had 4 SCU space at the time. i didnt realise it only update to require 10cscu at a time :l

[delicate girder]

yes

[delicate girder]

That's not true. A single Prospector can crack a rock up to about 5700 mass with surge. Add to that, you can usually share bigger rocks with friends or players you meet on the server at the moment. Now a unmodified rental. Yes, it can't crack shit without a friend.

[still hedge]

Anyone tips for mining when all your stuff wont scan rocks anymore,

Have jumped servers many many time and then i can do 1 or 2 rocks of scaning and then it stopped working.

The server bwin and out are droping very low and wont come up.

Any tips ?

With this i have trown away money on a rent if i cant mine 😭

[delicate girder]

You talking a Prospector?

[still hedge]

Yes

[delicate girder]

If you can't scan any more, press M to drop the head and M again to bring it back up. See if that helps. There are dud/unscannable rocks too.

[still hedge]

I have tryed that alraidy sadly but no luck

[delicate girder]

On multiple rocks in different clusters?

[still hedge]

Yes i have flown to cluster and cluster and tryed

I have been doing it for 2 or 3 hours now 😭

[delicate girder]

Multiple server logins (different servers)?

[still hedge]

Done that also

[delicate girder]

An unmodified rental Prospector does suck (for breaking rocks) but the scanning should be the same with all mining heads I think. Could be wrong.

[still hedge]

It should be the same at my knowlige also, oh well now i need to earn 50k again with somthing else 🤣

Thanks for the help

[delicate girder]

Package delivery missions and/or satellite missions.

[still hedge]

Im going back to bountys again to earn it back

[delicate girder]

I would have said bounty missions, but bounty missions are often broken in 3.15 so far.

[still hedge]

The certivication are the only broke thing for me with bountys

[strange flume]

does trading actually work in this patch as a viable money maker?

[blissful oxide]

You can, lots of people do
it's even more profitable than Prospector

though, it's more tedious, require a bit more of experience, and not friendly

[delicate girder]

Yes, it works much better than in comparison to the last few patches, but is still one of the harder ways to make money.

[strange flume]

other than the risk of losing the ship (which happens when bounty hunting) and cargo investment, what makes it harder? the buying and selling stocks?

[delicate girder]

High investment cost, low margins, unpredictable supply.

You either have to invest a lot of time making smaller loads profitable or use the two biggest ships and hope for large loads.

[tall rune]

My issue with cargo hauling usually is that it doesn't pay off until you go 500+ SCU

[strange flume]

i dont mind the smaller margins of profit, i only have 499000 to invest max

just wanted something a bit different to bounty hunting for a while

and I dont overly enjoy mining at all

[tall rune]

I do enjoy mining. I spend an hour mining and get at least 150k

If I'm lucky I get 250k. Though that is the mining time. Not the refining

[ancient ivy]

I’ve had exactly the same I can’t see any rocks with the visual method anymore which has destroyed my income from Aaron halo mining. I’m mining on Lyria now where we’ve had the most success

[carmine quartz]

does anyone find it hard getting their ship to show up at the orphanage

[strange flume]

i think i had issues there the other day, gave up in the end

[delicate girder]

To show up? Like the ship is invisible? I've just been mining in asteroid belts so far in 3.15. Is this a surface mining bug I haven't seen yet?

[tall rune]

I don't think that spawning your ship has anything to do with mining

[delicate girder]

Highly organized Mole mining like the good groups can do can do better per person, but it's depressing that bounty hunting can still beat it event with occasional bugged missions.

[tall rune]

Right now I'm so annoyed at the bounty missions that I went back to mining.
It's so buggy lol

And with mining, the prospector hud has a bright UI glitch.
The mole keeps bouncing up and down in atmo if there is no pilot.

And on top of that, the glitchy UI

[delicate girder]

Yeah, CIG really rushed 3.15 for IAE with an obvious fuck it we have to ship it kinda attitude!

[tall rune]

IAE worked pretty well tbh

All things considered. Servers are very stable

Fps is decent

[delicate girder]

Yes, it did!

[tall rune]

It's just bugs that are annoying rn

[delicate girder]

3.15 is definately not all bad!

[carmine quartz]

i go to the orphanage to sell laranite but when i try to select a ship neither of them show up

[woeful moss]

For me it helped playing on an australian server. The time difference is so amazing that the 270 ping doesn't feel bad. Usually I play on servers with 5 - 16 people due to time difference

and then scanning works fine

although I avoid Aaron anyways because I don't seem to find much there

[hollow sedge]

I think it's a know bug. They show up at the Arcorp/HDMS ones not the independent ones.

[delicate girder]

I assume you mine at Lyria or do you have luck with asteroid mining in other locations such as the L3 sites?

[marble crater]

Yeah the terminal at Orphanage hasn't worked for me either

[raw shell]

there are threads open on the issues council regarding scanning issues.. the more people that contribute to the issue the better visibility it will have to be fixed. There's also one open on the MOLE's jittering UI issue and 'crashing to the ground' graphic bug

[open pebble]

Thanks! I found it, and managed to find good quant roids every time

What's a cSCU? Also, is refined quantanium unstable?

[raw shell]

refined quantanium is stable

SCU centiSCU (cSCU) microSCU (μSCU)
1 100 1000000

[hollow sedge]

Can anybody help I have an lacet laser but can't get the quantinium rocks on lyria I had a surge but that disappeared for some reason. What do I need to mine ther

[open pebble]

Yea, you need the surge charge or a Helix laser

[hollow sedge]

I had a surge but even with the surge it was to weak

[woeful moss]

TBH I go to the L3 sites. the one by crusader is great. Can't see the star map right now to check but I think there is a L1 right next to crusader and from there "east" on the map. It's a short jump. But I fly around there and find 25%+ 5000 mass quant rocks fairly often

[devout pasture]

do the gems i mine with the ROC respawn in the same spot? how long do they take to respawn

[open pebble]

Someone told me that ship components (including mining lasers and mods) have no physical inventory and can only be transferred by attaching to a ship...

[pallid temple]

Was a real surprise for me too

[open pebble]

I'm about to try to transfer 10 Brandt mods from PO to MIC L1

[pallid temple]

Really useful if you buy the surge, stampede and optimum modules, but buy like 20 of each

[open pebble]

I use the Helix laser, so I don't usually need the surge. Brandt is very handy though

Lol this is awesome

Also, throwing an XL-1 in my MSR makes it so much more useful

[pallid temple]

That it does

[woeful moss]

Yeah I noticed the ability to transport mining utils too. That's really awesome. Did anybody try with other ship components?

[pallid temple]

It looks like its mining components only currently

[open pebble]

Huzzah!

I'll need to test the lasers with a bigger ship, I didn't have enough space in my MSR

[crystal owl]

what mass quantanium are you able to mine with that setup?

[open pebble]

Last one I did was a pretty big 18% quant, I don't remember the mass

[crystal owl]

let me know if you can bust rocks over 6000 mass

[woeful moss]

why would you want to? Or are you guys talking about Mole / multi prospector mining?

I can fill my prospector with a 30% ca 5000 mass rock

And those I can easily break with the lancet

[crystal owl]

It’s a fair point. Do you use surges and brandts?

[clever lagoon]

So if there was a patch today will I lose my ore work orders?

[raw shell]

Nah

[woeful moss]

I could use surges but I'm too lazy to buy them. I do use stampedes though

I have one of the filters although that's pretty senseless since most chunks I take in are 100% quant

I could probably speed it up with more consumable stuff but since you can only use one at a time I'm content with that

[carmine quartz]

anybody wanna mine?

[woeful moss]

try lfg @carmine quartz

[open pebble]

Erm.. no it's not?

[royal spear]

How long does it take for quant to explode?

[open pebble]

About 14 minutes

[lilac hedge]

What the hell is that?!

[open pebble]

Lancet mining laser purchased at PO that I was trying to transport to MIC L1

It only takes up 29% of the ship's inventory, but it won't let me move it. Doing this with mining modules works fine

[lilac hedge]

How did you even move it into the interface?

[craggy stone]

The perfect run took me today 20 min. First stones i found Xd

[open pebble]

Mining lasers and modules show up in your local inventory when purchased

[marble skiff]

What's the most affordable ship to get started with trading?

[open pebble]

Like with real money or in-game?

[marble skiff]

In game

[open pebble]

Freelancer max is 2.8 mil I think

[sonic laurel]

I wonder how much the raft will be in game

[royal spear]

can someone explain what it means by QTY and YIELD?

Like is 50 how much I mined and after the processing it will only manage to process 49?

[open pebble]

Qty = how much you have, Yield is how much you get after refining

[royal spear]

ah cool

ty

[open pebble]

Different mining processes will yield different amounts as well

[royal spear]

yeah doing the highest yield one

[open pebble]

Which?

[royal spear]

Diynx Solvency or wtv it's called xD

[open pebble]

That's the one I usually go with

[thin escarp]

@marble skiff trading is very sus

not a solid money making way rn

[marble skiff]

Then what is? Getting rep in bounty hunts is taking forever to reach missions that actually give decent money and quant mining needs over 2 million just to get a shitty prospector

[void tendon]

rent an ROC and a cutlass black, making good money doing that right now

I'm saving up for a prospector and it shouldnt take too long

do the 890jump missions when you see them, they are good pay and I've never had one bug out on me

[marble skiff]

It's bugged to hell

[void tendon]

no its not?

[marble skiff]

For me it is

[void tendon]

oh oof

[marble skiff]

Trying to suck the minerals up makes them go literally everywhere but the roc

I bought a roc so I wouldn't have to go rent it every time

[void tendon]

you gotta hold, they orbit around for a bit but will eventually get sucked in

[marble skiff]

And it never works right

I held for 18 min straight

I was with another player too

That just said I'm cursed

[void tendon]

ah, sometimes backing up a little will help make a bunch go in

oh damn

[marble skiff]

Why couldn't they just copy the ships version of the extractor is beyond me

It works flawlessly

But with the roc it fucks up

[void tendon]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[hollow sedge]

I hope not

Can that aktualy happen

[hollow sedge]

If this will be gone I will lose 4000 units of quantinium

damn not sure I can break that

[ember star]

I can help if you need

[royal spear]

If you wana.. there is a sizeable haul here

like 6 more rocks

[ember star]

Did you break that one?

[royal spear]

not quite AS good for the rest of them but..

noo

[ember star]

Send me a FR and I'll come over and break it with you

how do I send FR in game? 😛

What's your sn

[royal spear]

Same as here

[slim atlas]

anyone know if the salvage yards are working again?

[crimson oak]

nothing in the patch notes about scrap

[royal lark]

hey uh what do I do if the work order I made gives a bigger yield than anything I can use to carry it?

[verbal cargo]

rent a bigger ship

[royal spear]

Would you be able to load that into a friend's ship? Idk how cargo works if you are flying ships that aren't yours or parties with a friendly hauler.

[chilly notch]

hello fellow people im new to this game and wondering how in the hell to start getting money to get a new ship to mine and HOW IN HECK DO YOU GET MONEY FROM MINEING like plz explain thx (also what is the best equipment for mining)

[ember star]

No it needs to be your ship

A cutlass black has more SCU than your nomad and is only 50k or something to rent

[ember star]

The best way to start mining is make 60k aUEC, rent a cutlass black and a ROC. Make a day out of it so you can fill that ROC up and you’ll make around 200k from Hadenite. Keep doing that until you can afford a Prospector and a Lancet head

[thin escarp]

@chilly notch well i suggest tryin to pair with someone with a mining ship already

you cant just put mining lasers on any ship.

only the mole "4 man mining ship" the prospector "solo ship miner" and the roc "land miner"

can mine.

roc is the cheapest at 172k at lorville

but it takes some skill and rng to find the rocks. aswell as it can be very buggy

[tawny leaf]

Unfortunately you can't [yet] break up workorders. So you need a ship with a bigger cargo hold. Either by rental, a purchase, or a helpful friend.

Cutlasses are very common 'prospector-size cargo' transport ships if you need something on the cheaper end.

[royal lark]

alright ty for the help

[smoky remnant]

is sc trade tools out of date or smth?

The prices don't match in game

[void tendon]

they change based on demand

I think the prices on sc trade tools is optimal prices

aka sell points are full, and buy points are empty

[smoky remnant]

alr

Never used it before and I want to get into trading so

But thanks for clearing that up

[void tendon]

heres a tip, avoid all vice

every time I try trading it I always end up waiting because the place to sell it is always full

[smoky remnant]

Alr

[void tendon]

also avoid scrap, you currently can't sell scrap. Unless it was an unannounced change in todays patch

[smoky remnant]

Yeah I saw that

[void tendon]

for any trade route you do I would HIGHLY recommend you try it with only like 1-10 scu to begin with to make sure it can be done and no glitches n stuff happen along the way

[smoky remnant]

That's what I was planning on doing

[chilly notch]

thx for the help m8 same with @thin escarp but where and how do you sell it like i heard you can refine it should i worry about that when starting or what

[ember star]

You don’t refine ROC mineables, you just sell them at a mining outpost

[chilly notch]

thx man you really helped alot

[ember star]

That’s why I have the green role

[high bear]

what is the best place to get hedanite?

[royal lark]

Is trading just kinda bad in this game or am I doing something wrong? I load up my Nomad with 20scu of med supplies and yet I still get barely like 6k uec

I'd rather just run box missions if it's that little profit

[worthy scroll]

Trading is bad right now. It used to be king money maker, just not currently. Boxes are fine, just be careful with stairs.

[verbal cargo]

aberdeen

[high bear]

okay thanks

[royal lark]

Alright thanks, really wanna upgrade to a RAFT but if trading is kinda bad right now then I'll hold off

[worthy scroll]

That's pretty much what I do, just run boxes. Low stress, easy gameplay to have fun with.

Gives me plenty of time to talk in Discord and such 🙂

[royal lark]

Yup thank you, do you know approximately how many box missions it takes to upgrade to more than the 8k pay missions?

[worthy scroll]

Eh, that's the bad thing about box missions these days. You have the 3 box 8k payout ones, then 2 box quantum sensitive ones for 10k, then 1 box quantum sensitive ones around Hurston for 20k. Then there are 45k payout ones where you have to go into a bunker and find a few boxes. Those are FPS combat missions.

It doesn't take long at all to unlock the 45k ones.

Box missions just aren't good for money maker missions anymore. The payout is way too low for the time involved. But it's easy, no stress stuff. Until the stairs kill you.

[thin escarp]

@chilly notch refined mining goods you sell on planet major cities

like area 18

lorville

[split anchor]

Those stairs have taken way more people than the NPCs in the fps missions.

[worthy scroll]

Facts.

End game boss.

I've already had a few "Well I'm dead" moments since the patch, but somehow survived. I've been cannon launched out of habs a few times, shot out of the door of my 315p. Good times.

Once I dropped a box and it bumped into me and basically broke my legs. HP dropped to 45 and I started bleeding out, then it magically refilled and I was fine.

Just had a box launch itself when I tried to grab it. Landed 45m away.

That "Caution" at the top of the steps is no mere suggestion.

Aaand just got a trespassing violation for doing a normal box mission. The destination is private property. Nice.

It doesn't register that the box is there either.

[split anchor]

I got launched by the door once.

Also had the box clip into my arm.

Couldn't climb into my ship

[worthy scroll]

Well, box is there, so I'm calling this one a success.

Now I have to pay off a fine.

[split anchor]

Amen

[worthy scroll]

Didn't get a crime stat, so at least I have that going for me 🙂

[blissful steeple]

Ship components can't be moved from location to location in a cargo bay. They appear in your inventory, but they're not actually worked into the inventory system yet, that will come with the hangar app.

[split anchor]

Had your mom talk to the judge?

[worthy scroll]

Bummer that that's lost Huston rep though.

It just had to be the last box of the mission, so that's a bunch of time wasted.

[split anchor]

It always is

[open pebble]

Except I moved a bunch of Brandt modules from PO to MIC L1 and installed them on my prospector there

[blissful steeple]

Modules aren't ship components, they're consumables like food or meds.

[wild nacelle]

Anybody know if it matters which city I go to to sell ores (the refined ones)? I'm currently at ARC1 so Area18 is my closest

[ember star]

A18 is best

[raw shell]

nah doesn't matter. Same price everywhere. But a fun fact, you can land your cargo hauler at Baijini Point and fly something small down to Area 18 and sell your refined ores on the station

[ember star]

This isn't exactly true. While they all sell for the same price they all dont have the same limits. I have issues selling at NB and Orison due to their limitations. A18 has higher limitations than all the other cities, and Lorville seems to be ok to sell at as well

[wild nacelle]

Well I'll try Area18 for my first sale - hopefully it covers my rental costs!

[ember star]

You rented a Prospector?

[wild nacelle]

Nope a Cutty Black to transport

[ember star]

Oh.. are you talking ROC mining?

[wild nacelle]

I didn't realise you couldn't take the stuff in small bits so my 300i wouldn't cut it

Nope I'm using a Prospector (pledge bought)

[ember star]

Oh.. nevermind.. I see.. the rental is to transport the refined ore

[wild nacelle]

Yup - until I make enough to by a Starrunner

This run didn't make a profit (I'm new to this) as I was too pathetic to risk mining Quantanium. Hopefully I can get enough ore refining now to transport before my rental is up. If not I shouldn't have to work to hard to start turning a profit.

A question about rentals - 2 actually. Do you have to reurn them or they just disappear after the time is up? Second, do they always go to your home planet?

[ember star]

You don’t have to return them.. I’m not sure about #2

Quant is easy as long as you be careful and don’t waste time

Break up the rock as small as you can.. then retrieve the Quant all at once

Once you have it all get to a refinery quickly

[wild nacelle]

Thanks

[royal lark]

What ship is that? Looks cool

[cinder oracle]

is there any band of the arin halo that is better with like quant mining or anything or is it all gonna be the same

[hollow sedge]

where are all the prospector miners in hurston

asking for a friend

[wild nacelle]

Question for you expert miners. I have my Prospector and upgraded the Laser to a Lancet MH1. Now I don't seem to be able to get the rock heat bar to go up at all. Is that because I was too poor to upgrade my power plant at the same time or because I need extra modules?

[cinder oracle]

did you equip the lancet

[wild nacelle]

Yes

And am with 30m

[cinder oracle]

when it does that so far iv had to use a surge module

[wild nacelle]

OK. It works on a Diamond rock - I guess I need to be less cheap and buy the modules

thanks

[cinder oracle]

the only thing i have mined is quant so i dont know with anything else

[wild nacelle]

What modules and systems do you use?

[delicate girder]

I assume you're going to the CRU-L1 refinery and then jumping to HUR-L3 to find the roids.

[wild nacelle]

No, I chose ARC1 and Lyria (Is that the right spelling?)

[delicate girder]

I was replying to an earlier post @wild nacelle, but I beieve your spelling is right and you probably have the right idea with ARC-L1 and Lyria.

[wild nacelle]

My bad.

[delicate girder]

Are you mining now?

[wild nacelle]

Back at the station to dump the ore I had and look to see what I can afford

[delicate girder]

I'm about to get in. Do you have a Prospector? If so when I get in I'll come over to ARC-L1 and we can team up to crack bigger rocks if you want.

[wild nacelle]

If that works that would be great. I will need to break for dinner in a bit but shouldn't be long. My in game is Bipolar-Bear

[delicate girder]

I'll PM you now.

[woeful moss]

Yep

[tribal imp]

so roc extraction mode still make tornadoes of gems?

[rose root]

yes. todays patch was literally just EAC.

[native plank]

Is it true that all I really need for Prospector quant mining is Lancet mining head and vk00 Qt?

[cinder oracle]

i have a lancet mh1 and i use a surge module and a brandt module

[native plank]

Sorry I'm new to this whole thing. Modules?

[cinder oracle]

im new to it to, you can equip like limited use modules, the surge module will shoot up the energy point that the rock is that, getting rid of most of the wait time to get to green, and the brandt module will keep it there so it wont move around much

[native plank]

Wait so do I have to keep purchasing these modules everytime I mine to get these perks?

[cinder oracle]

yes or you can buy a bunch at once, they are way cheap though

[native plank]

Oh I see

[cinder oracle]

each one has like 5 uses

[native plank]

I see

Do you find they make much of a difference?

[cinder oracle]

they definitely do, the surge module speeds up the process and i use it a lot i use the brandt module less but if your having a rough time keeping it in the green you can use it and it makes it much easier

[native plank]

How are you finding qaunt mining so far? Profitable?

[cinder oracle]

seems to be again i just started, i had some mishaps so i havent had the best yield so far, i crashed my ship a few times and then i did a nice run and got out of my ship at the refinery to realise i wasnt wearing a helmet and died, but doing the math, you can make probably really close or more to a million credits with 4 good prospector runs

a full prospector with the slowest diynx refining process will give you about 250,000 auec of quant

which is just finding one good asteroid

iv been trying not to mine the asteroids unless they are up to 30 percent quant

but i chose to mine a few smaller ones anyway and thats where my lower yield is also coming from

[native plank]

How are you finding the refining process? I was a bit disappointed that you have to wait 12hrs min but then again it's mining.

[cinder oracle]

i dont mind the refining process, i go mine an asteroid, and if i get a full prospector of quant and choose the dinyx process its like a 48 hour process, and yea i have to wait two days, but you keep mining and then the income seems like it will just be regular

i dont mind waiting 48 hours if i get a bunch of rocks for a week and then sell it all for millions

[native plank]

Fair point

How much do the modules cost?

[cinder oracle]

i think the surge is more expensive costing like 2800 or something like that

very cheap

i think the brandt is like 1300

[void tendon]

I've heard some people use the helix head, why do you use the lancet?

[native plank]

Alrighty, thanks very much for the information, really appreciate it. About to purchase the prospector now.

[native plank]

Oh btw what qt drive do you use? I'm planning on getting the one recommended to me vk00.

[cinder oracle]

i havent upgraded the drive yet but i want to

i dont know what one to use

@void tendon honestly its just what i saw to use i dont know the differences

[native plank]

You could look at the one I was recommended I suppose

[west rapids]

Atlas qt drive is solid

[woeful moss]

lancet is more stable, helix has more power and jumps around more. It's a matter of preference. As boywhocried does, I use the same setup and am very happy with it. you could also install another passiv module since lancet has three slots. The actives ones can only be used one at a time

[real yew]

Lancet is the one you want for Quantainium

I used a Mole with Lancet on the center turret in the asteroid belt solo and it is very profitable. I don’t mind the waiting time. In between I go bounty hunting VHRTs around Yela with a Buccaneer which is just as profitable.

The Buccaneer is soo underrated. I was killing VHRTs with my half-destroyed Buccaneer for an hour and didn’t break a sweat.

[native plank]

Anyone know where I can purchase the Lancet Mining attachment for Prospector?

[royal spear]

Any refinery

Make sure to scroll on the tab at the top that say "Prsnl Weapons" "Undersuits" ect. You should be able to scroll across to one called "Utility" I believe

Are people managing to break 6k+ size stones with lancet? I've had real issues even with surge it was hit and miss

[royal spear]

Here is a sample of 2 ~15-20 min runs

[native plank]

Is the Atlas qt drive good for prospector?

[royal spear]

Atlas or Voyage are both great

[tribal imp]

for me I choose the fast QT drives for prospector when mining quantanium. So you can go to the refinery faster.

[half bane]

I usually need 2 surge and a brandt or stamped

[native plank]

What QT drive do you have?

[royal spear]

I mean I dno how far from refineries you are mining but in my experience anything more than Atlas or Voyage is overkill

[royal spear]

Doesn't 2 surge just blow it up? xD

[tribal imp]

depends on how far from I'm going to mine to the refinery.

[half bane]

not back to back, I use one (usually not enough to go in optimal), then I wait for bar to go to 40% white and fire the second surge, it often go to the minimum in overcharge, at this point as soon as it it the max of optimal I fire the stamped or the brandt

I've soloed in prospector 8k quanta rock like that a few times

[royal spear]

hmm interesting so you run surge, stamp and brandt on lancet?

[half bane]

that's right

[royal spear]

How do you tell how many charges you have left? The UI seems a bit fucked..

I also never know if I've restored charges when I go back to base

[half bane]

Most of the time never use any module, unless it's a 6K+ rock, but when I do it's max 2 surge / 2 brandt or Stamped

what I do is I fully unequip the module each time and save, then aquip back and save

I'm pretty sure it has reseted the number of charge a few times

[royal spear]

But the module you unequip just goes into the stack of the same modules... does it recharge or does it stay at low charges and you play the lottery every time you equip? xD

It's jankier than missiles xD

[half bane]

That the thing, I don't know because I have like 20 of them. but, one time I had only one brandt and I'm sure I used this guys more than 10 times before it was fully gone.

[royal spear]

xD

[open pebble]

How do you propose to sell it? Can't move it to a ships inventory, and can't drop it

[half bane]

I think you can use a large ship crate (the one you get when you destroy a ship with an inventory)

[open pebble]

Is that the only way to get one of these crates?

[pallid temple]

Yes

[open pebble]

Interesting, I'll have to try that. I've been trying to figure out a way to move some mining lasers from PO to MIC L1 without having to equip them

[half bane]

it does persist trough bed logoff, but it's a coinflip trough station storage

that's the way, I did use it to transfert large quantity (be ready to do a lot of drag and drop ...)

just be sure to NOT STORE the ship till you've finished the transfert

[open pebble]

So, to get the crate, could I just drop a helmet or something inside of a ship then self destruct?

[half bane]

when you have the crate in your ship, go near the port so you are ine local inventory range then transfert your stuff, then go to the place you want to move, DO NOT LAND AND CLAIM, stay close enough so you have the new place local inventory and transfert the stuff

[half bane]

Yes, but drop a core armor, helmet will generate a small crate, not a large

[open pebble]

Ah, ok

[half bane]

be sure to do that outside an armistice zone so you can use your tractor beam multitool to move the crate

there, check this > https://youtu.be/XDMMMIxaMmk

[open pebble]

Sweet, thanks

GH seems like it might be the best spot since it has a very small armistice zone

[half bane]

yeah, but you may find yourself disturbed by some guys RPlaying pirates

[open pebble]

Does this work with URSA rover?

Assuming so

[ember star]

Try it. That would be a good work around. Spawn it at an outpost and blow it up with your ship

[raven hill]

im looking to mine gems with a roc. what is a website to find good places to mine, or suggestions of places to go?

[subtle cradle]

Roc mining is absolutely terrible at the moment. The extractor beam is bugged so extraction takes ages.

where can i sell my refined ore around PO?>

[open pebble]

It works!

[half bane]

good to know, did you manage to transfert your stuff ?

[royal spear]

You can't, that's kinda the reason to own your own. That being said there is still plenty of money to make with a rented prospector mining Laranite and Borase

[open pebble]

Of course my ship got bugged out, so I'll have to try again

ProTip: If the Quantainium volatile alarm is flashing red and fast ... you need to turn off the QT engine before it will let you eject the cargo. ... not claiming I didn't realize that and blew up into a millions space particles, Just say'n

Yeah, subscribers get a free ship that rotates every month, and after that ship gets rotated out they get the opportunity to purchase it (if it isn't an anyways available ship).

No joy on moving mining lasers with the large cargo box

But hey, using a rover to get a box is very convenient if you have a ship that can fit one

[ember star]

I need to get a different armor set for my mining adventures

[lilac hedge]

God

I really can't wait until this is part of the game and not a janky ass work-around

3.18 can't come soon enough

[ember star]

I wonder if you got a smaller box because you did an Ursa and not a larger ship

[open pebble]

I think all the large boxes are the same capacity. This one is 1000K uSCU. I wasn't expecting this to work because I tried moving the laser into my C2 inventory, and it wouldn't let me despite having more than enough space.

And the C2 inventory is like 10x the size of the large box

[lilac hedge]

Isn't the 1scu a medium box?

There's a bigger one than that isn't there, a 2scu one?

or

1.75?

[open pebble]

Either way, the lasers are >2 SCU

[half bane]

That's strange because I could move one lancet and weapons in a large box, I self destroyed my C2 for this (there was 2 full looted armor with weapons in it)

[ember star]

This is why Im thinking larger ships mean larger boxes

Im going to experiment with this

[open pebble]

Question is, is there a ship that can fit a large box, that would fit inside the C2?

[half bane]

I think loot boxes can excess the capacity of the ship default storage

you can put multiple C2 large boxes in a C2 or any other ship that can accomodate them

[hardy goblet]

what am i supposed to do with the cargo i have? Altruciatoxin, SC trade tools said it would be a good route, but when i went to sell on grim hex, its full. am i just stuck with it for now?

When you think you hit the jackpot with 13 90%+ hadanite rocks, but then the ROC tractor beam just doesnt work 😦

didn't it show this warning?

you need to wait and have luck that no one else is also selling it

best to try at hours where less people are online, depending on your server region

[open pebble]

I've heard there's workarounds

Not sure what they are though

[iron badge]

I think, the oddysse won’t be able to sell the quantainium to a trade station , it can only mine and sent it to its own fuel tanks.. what do you guys think ? 💭

[split anchor]

I think this is the answer to just about every question and complaint here. Spawn rates are easily adjusted. It has nothing to do with being in Alpha stages. The viability of earning auec is not going to improve. It is the fundamental gacha mechanic to make in game achievements seem significantly more attainable than they really are. This gets people invested and more willing to spend real money that they would never have otherwise.

[subtle gazelle]

Swap modes once, turn mine mode off and on

And test it

Mine mode will show one mode visually and be in the opposite one sometimes

[brisk scaffold]

thanks keep at it lol

[brisk scaffold]

I got it to work by going out of the thing picking up a rock manually and putting in the cargo bay then going back in and trying again lmfao

[hollow sedge]

So I've used my ROC for 2 or 3 runs on Aberdeen. I decided to switch to Daymar after dying when I forgot to put my helmet on.
I'd almost filled my ROC it was 49 degrees heat and without warning the ROC overheats and shuts down! The engines wouldn't even start.
Any advice on what I should have done?

How is Laranite trading? Are too many people into it?

[brisk scaffold]

is there a way to transfer all of my hadanite into my ship from the roc?

[native plank]

So I recently purchased the Prospector and got the basic upgrades for it so I can now start quant mining. However I don't have a cargo ship and apparently you can't sell quantanium directly from the ship. Should I rent a cutlass black to transport my refined quantanium?

[delicate girder]

Yes, that's a good option. Just watch that timer in the rental.

[native plank]

Alrighty, thx

[delicate girder]

Wait to rent it until after all the refining is done.

[olive wagon]

So with the MOLE being the ship of the month for subscribers is there a way for us to change the mining head. I always forgot if we can change out stuff with subscriber ships

[ember star]

Yes you can it’s not a rental

Yep, it's "yours" for a while.

[olive wagon]

Ok thanks

[ancient star]

anyone wanna mine in a mole? got one so just testing out mining

[plain bane]

well i already applyed my upgrade from the carrack to oddy

so it best be worth

when is Q&A

[royal lark]

Hey if you're still available in about an hour I'm down to try it out... Want a break from my cutty for a bit

[native plank]

What key do I press to use mining modules like surge and brandt?

[delicate girder]

Left Alt - 1, 2 and 3 depending on what slot you got the module in.

[open pebble]

I'm trying ROC mining, and I've been flying around Aberdeen for like 20 minutes and haven't seen a single gem pop up. What an I doing wrong?

[delicate girder]

There's a definite technique for finding the gems, but I forget the finer points of it.

I don't find ROC mining worth the time lately.

[open pebble]

Well I've never done it, so I wanted to try it. But I can't find anything to mine

[humble magnet]

@native plank ALT + 1 / ALT+2 and ALT +3 depending to witch slot you loaded them into your mininghead slot

@open pebble you got to fly low overground and they only appear for a short time as near boxes, unually under the 1000 m range. So0 when I see one popping and its close by its usually ROC gems

[delicate girder]

If I recall correctly, you need to be traveling fairly slow and low and the diamond icons don't show up until you're practically on top of them. It used to be a lot easier in the past.

Sounds like my recallection jives with Dracu's. Cool!

[open pebble]

How slow? I was flying at about scm speed

[delicate girder]

Add to that challenge the current potential bugs with ROC mining and you have a fair iffy experience.

I vaguely recall that I was keeping it under 300 or so.

[humble magnet]

that why I ended up buying a prospector...

[open pebble]

I have a prospector, and a mole. Just want to try it out

[delicate girder]

In the past, there used to be the meta way of ROC mining which was for two players to hang a ROC out the back of a Nomad and one fly and the other mine without even having to constantly drive the ROC out and in the ship. I think that no longer works. It was sweet when I did though!

Where's your favorite location to ship mine in 3.15 guys? Lyria, the L3 locations, Aaron Halo, ...?

[scarlet rover]

How do you load a ROC in your Nomad? Like how do you spawn both and then load it up?

[humble magnet]

Lyria when its clear from idiot pirates and the Halo cos is sooo chilled

@scarlet rovertake your nomad to a mining station, they all have the ground vehicle spawning blue buildings - look for the 2 smaller pads at the station

then inside the building youll find the screens give you access to all your ground vehicles

spaw n load

[delicate girder]

Also, if you're loading the ROC in a Nomad, you need to back the ROC onto the "truck bed". At first it may seem like too much of a hassle, but as soon as you get used to using the F4 third person view to load the ROC it becomes just as easy (in my opinion to do that as to load it in other ships.

The agility of the Nomad makes scouting for gems sooooo much easier than using other bigger ships too.

[hollow sedge]

I didn't have any armour with me so no backpack. Transfering them would have taken hours even if I had a backpack

[ember star]

You can take the entire box out

Or you could

[native plank]

So I was extracting quantanium after having broken all the rocks and after extracting maybe my 3rd broken off rock I got the warning that cargo was unstable and should be jettisoned (no idea how to do that btw) gave me a few seconds, had no idea what to do so turned of engines, nothing oaky, guess that doesn't help, turned off power... nothing oh crap, BOOM. Any idea why this happened? Cargo wasn't full or anything as far I remember, had just started extraction.

[hollow sedge]

why did you delete it and then paste the same thing again

[delicate girder]

Wait! They have boxes working again? A couple weeks ago, all you could do was transfer gems one at a time.

[native plank]

Made typo, went to fix and it and killed it by accident, had it copied so just reposted it.

[ember star]

I havent tested since inventory was implemented though

[hollow sedge]

quantanium has like a 20 minute shelf life

you get it and gooo
