[humble stump]

are low mass rocks lower explosions or something? the one I did was over 6 tons

I really need to earn a little so I can buy a better quantum and shiled

[crude palm]

Is the Mole still broken?

[real rover]

Yes

[humble stump]

And is there a particular spot on lyria that's best?

[humble stump]

my ship overheated and I don't get why. especially on an ice planet.

I wasn't using mining laser or anything. I was just hovering. 😐

[boreal haven]

How do you enter the C2 Herc turrets?

[humble stump]

There is a remote turret station. try f+rightclick from it

[boreal haven]

Where's it located?

the station

[humble stump]

cockpit

[boreal haven]

If it's the two stations behind the seats, those dont work

[sudden bridge]

idk what im doing wrong but i was trying to mine a rock in the asteroid belt and nothing was happening. i had power at 100% and was 60m from the rock but the charge level wasnt going up. am i missing something?

[boreal haven]

did it scan?

[sudden bridge]

yeah

[boreal haven]

try closer than 60m, cause i know the laser i use requires 30m for optimal

[sudden bridge]

it said optimal on the left. thats what i thought the problem was at first too

[boreal haven]

what's your setup?

[sudden bridge]

just a base argo mole xD idk what im doing. just sort of tested it on the way to buy an XL1

[boreal haven]

sorry, meant to tab back over and look rofl.

i would upgrade the laser and modules

[calm hazel]

Seems to me like a boremax would let you mine some hella big rocks, then maybe use your modules to make it easier

[vestal cairn]

Thinking of getting a Carrack
Have dreams of being self sufficient living on the crystal beds of wala. Also being able to use as a quant hauler when needed.
My only concern is that it has no real way of protecting it self as I only play solo. My question is if carry another small ship inside like Merlin will it provide me with some protection against AI pirates or is it too folly to think that I could have enough time to run into one while being attacked
Thanks

[calm hazel]

I haven't tried it, but using a boremax, sabir, and waveshift on the same rock seems like it would give you great stability and power on even huge rocks, but it would probably take a while. Add in some modules to expand max window and/or laser power and I wouldn't be suprised if you could crack monsters.

I'd like to try it out eventually

[humble stump]

Carrack is one of the fastest large ships. You run.

Lots of qaunt too.

[vestal cairn]

feasible to switch to snub while being attacked or not likely ?

[humble stump]

Don't... Just run

It's fast and has a ton of fuel

Unless you have a godly pilot who can win 1v3 in the 85x or m50s, you just run

Same with msr

[vestal cairn]

okay thanks for the explanation very helpful

[humble stump]

The hanger in Carrack is mainly because it's a pain to land on planets. Probably especially after they rework atmospheric flight where some ships will struggle to or not even be able to lift off from certain bodies.

Most large ships besides the Starlifter are a pain to take off from planets as it is. And it's only as easy as it is now for playability sake with the limited content.

[long lake]

what do i put on my prospector?

[calm hazel]

lancet

either atlas or VK-00

atlas if you want to go super long ways reasonably fast, VK if you want to only go from l1 to a planet or the halo belt super fast

[cold thorn]

My Caterpillar guzzles quantum fuel and I was hoping to find something a little more efficient. Any suggestions?

[calm hazel]

atlas

wait is cata size 1 quant?

[cold thorn]

3

[calm hazel]

oh then nvm

[calm hazel]

I bought 3 atlas engines, seemed prudent

[calm hazel]

I hope they eventually do something with roc mining that lets you, you know... just mine with the roc

loading it in and out of a ship is cool enough, but it would be nice just to be able to stay on the ground

[vivid sorrel]

Just use !erkul and it will show you fuel distance, speed etc per Q drive

[wary tusk]

#DPSCalculator

• Calculator • Shops • Ships • Weapons •

[humble stump]

What is the "instability" stat with mining?

[vivid sorrel]

The laser power you put into a rock will fluctuate a lot more the higher the instability is.

Or hmm good english word would be volatility i think?

[cold thorn]

With the DPS calculator, would I be looking at the "Efficiency" stat? I am assuming I want a higher number? Like .2 instead of .15

[vivid sorrel]

Well for range it's bascially the same, but max distance

[humble stump]

just look at max range (and speed). max range is a product of efficiency but easier to read.

[cold thorn]

Ok cool. Thanks

[flint trench]

is it just me or the speaker voice in refineries sounds like donald trump?

[vivid sorrel]

Just you 😄

[sterile skiff]

anyone know where the best place to sell medical supplies as uex is not accurate

[vivid sorrel]

Best i can do is where they buy & sell them

https://sc-trade.tools/commodities/Medical Supplies

Because players influence stock buy\sell levels it's impossible to know where they need stock

[river cove]

best sub item slot in prospector?

[vivid sorrel]

for mining what\where, and with what laser?

[river cove]

lancet quatium

[vivid sorrel]

in halo? Lyria?

[river cove]

well prosp quatium halo I think would be best start

[vivid sorrel]

In that case you don't really need any modules, as a naked lancet will crack anything there. If you want to just crack faster id' go with a surge for fill %, and stampede for faster green chargerate. Last slot whatever, though i throw on a Vaux-C3 for a tiny bit less instability

[river cove]

@vivid sorrelthank you

[topaz burrow]

I had a table somewhere but I cant find it anymore. Whats the Mass/Quant% ratio I should be aiming at with a Prospector to fill up?

[vivid sorrel]

Bottom of these charts

https://redmonstergaming.com/mining-cheat-sheets/

Or you can use https://uexcorp.space/mining to input the specific rock, but it won't be accurate on the trash material you'll scoop up with the Quant, because it doesn't know how it will crack

[sand heath]

to all the miners out there. I have a couple of questions.

Do you guys transfer the cargo of the ROC into your ship to stay out longer, or do you just fill it up and fly back each time? If so, do you have any tricks to transfer faster?
Is the tractor beam of the ROC AOE or very pin-pointy? I feel like sometimes when I start it in the middle of a cluster it could potentially suck up a lot of stuff around the center immediately, but other times I have to strafe it back and forth over a single rock several times before it picks it up?

[vivid sorrel]

Never transfer from ROC to ship for two reasons, first being it would take forever moving 1 hadanite at a time, and secondly server issues could make you lose it all.
Tractor beam sucks up all around it on first activation, but then you need to hold it still over a new area for it to slowly scoop up all around it, then move to new area, hold still etc.

Probaly server issues that makes some scoops go fast and some slow

[sand heath]

ahh

the losing it part isn't really an issue for me, I'm just in it for the fun. don't need the money really

but I see your point tho, it's not very efficient

[rose root]

Anyone else having issues with the Raft elevator not being interactable with?

[river cove]

so apart the mining laser is worth it to change any other modules in the prospector?

[calm hazel]

❤️ 7000 mass 47% quant rocks when mining with friends

[zinc eagle]

Should I rent the prospector?

[calm hazel]

most likely no

you can't swap out the laser and mining quant with default laser sucks

[zinc eagle]

Is there a cheaper version then?

[prime nimbus]

UM

boremax has an optimal charge rate of -50% and sabir also has -50% does that mean you cannot mine it at all

welp, testing it rn

[rain lava]

I think it will do a total of -75%

But not sure how it work

I have see some guy stack some gadget on rock and mine the rock with multitool

[prime nimbus]

i can mine it, but it goes SLOW AFG

still, 0.29 instabiliy with liottle resistance

[rain lava]

XD

[flint trench]

is there a way to know how many charges are left on the module on my ship?

[prime nimbus]

RIP gadgets

cant find them in space

[rain lava]

https://youtu.be/8KaQSLcaEJk

I found the video of the guy trying some weird think with mining gadget

[rain lava]

Sad

[prime nimbus]

can you see m ?

[rain lava]

No

[prime nimbus]

sad

[rain lava]

Did they have like a number of utilisation limit ?

[prime nimbus]

??

you mean utility module limit ?

[rain lava]

Like you can use it 3 time then it don't work

[prime nimbus]

y

it says it on the utility itself

[rain lava]

Ho ok

[river cove]

so we cant buy mining moduls at raffinery

[prime nimbus]

you can but

you can only buy what is on display

[river cove]

ya I'm at mcl1 not the one I want

[neat vault]

So hows prospector mining holding up to VHRT money making wise? Haven't mined in a long time.

[feral portal]

messing around with the Roc, is there any location that works well for ROC mining on Daymar?

[vivid sorrel]

!itemfinder

[wary tusk]

Universal Item Finder

Use the website to search for any item (and where to buy them) in-game.

[vivid sorrel]

Don't look at orbital stations, as mining shop terminal is bugged

[river cove]

@vivid sorrelya I know thanks for the link

ok I'm at one of the lacations with the modules but I can see only 3 😦

uufffffffffffffffffffffffff

[sand heath]

how much over capacity can you get the ROC?

I just finished mining a couple of nodes and i got it to 84/80

[high wren]

Any timeline on terminal fix at refinery to buy gadgets etc?

[junior edge]

hey guys ive been grinding on a grey cat to make some money for hadanite on damar, b ut last 24 hours havent seen a single one, only been finding the al one

any tips?

[vivid sorrel]

no, but !itemfinder and planet stores

[wary tusk]

Universal Item Finder

Use the website to search for any item (and where to buy them) in-game.

[junior edge]

doesnt work

for gem mining

with a greycat

[vivid sorrel]

?

[junior edge]

tried using universal item finder to find nodes

but doesnt work

[vivid sorrel]

nodes? I don't understand what you're talking about

[junior edge]

wish there was like in other mmos, where they have locations of clusters so you know best place to search

[vivid sorrel]

Item finder is for items, not gem or ore deposits

[junior edge]

yes and wouldnt it be nice if it could do MORE!!!!!

[frail jolt]

Can you mine quad with a roc ? Really stupid question but just curious if it would work

[digital kestrel]

Is roc mining on daymar worth it

Someone in game said that daymar was thee best

[junior edge]

umm for about an hour or two of work, i can earn around 100k off a grey cat mining hadanite aphorite and the other ore

800k into my saving up for a freelancer

[frail jolt]

If your gunna do mining if save up for the prospector and do quant runs

[prime nimbus]

guys 3 work orders complete, 6 in progress should i continue to fill it up ? im afraid for the workers

[vivid sorrel]

Gotta make em work 😄

[prime nimbus]

if only i had a mule AND quantanium was NOT volatile

[vivid sorrel]

Halo hate me today, taking forever to find stuff, i missed a part with large quant, and quantum travel crash at end

[prime nimbus]

but i assume most pplk go to the aaron belt for quantanium

and eventually i am like, were are the lite ores ?

[vivid sorrel]

Lyria is pretty popular too

[prime nimbus]

but mining belt is safer

[vivid sorrel]

i haven't done much Lyria mining, so can't say how often pirates or player griefers show up on Lyria, but in halo 100% safe

[prime nimbus]

but its impossible on the aaron belt

btw i was thinking of something, take a BIG cargo ship ( something like the origin cuz of 400+ cargo) and load then up a smaller ship with the mule for easier transport once everything is persistant

[glossy forge]

Rent

A prospector rent is 50k

You can get 40k at the minimum back from one piece of minable roc that has 10% of the good stuff

[frail jolt]

But you can’t upgrade or add modules on rented ships can you ?

[glossy forge]

Takes a while 10 mins

You don’t need to

It’s still solid to mine w

[frail jolt]

Ok might have to try it

[glossy forge]

Yeah you can’t upgrade but u can keep renting and get like hundreds of k of profit per day of rent

[prime nimbus]

you cannot upgrade a rented ship

[glossy forge]

I’ll drop an example. A 4300k rock w 10% quantaniim and other mineables will set u with the rent cost alone

I focus on mining for rocks that have 20%

[vivid sorrel]

And enjoy the massive terribad instability?

[frail jolt]

Yea I’ve yet to do mining sadly but I might give it a shot tonight

Sounds very profitable especially with the prospector

[prime nimbus]

i cant find ANY rock

i have it at 90 degrees

maybe this is the game saying stop mining'

[frail jolt]

Where are you ?

[prime nimbus]

aaron belt

[frail jolt]

Ohh damn 😂

That’s the gods saying your shit outta luck

[prime nimbus]

YA

[vivid sorrel]

you too?

[prime nimbus]

NO rocks over a duration of 50 km

[vivid sorrel]

Ah, in that case do a quick jump

restart spawn "logic"

[prime nimbus]

ah i see why

]i am bugged

[vivid sorrel]

Could be server too i suppose

[prime nimbus]

i cannot exit my seat

[vivid sorrel]

...i got ambushed in quantum with my freelancer and i was alt-tabbed 😛 When i tabbed back i see myself getting rammed by a ship, then lost half my engines and torque spinning...Quantum jammed, rip my full load of quant.

[round inlet]

what is the best mining gadget for do big quantum rock with prosp?

[prime nimbus]

dont alt tab when you doig caro

[vivid sorrel]

eh, i have sound on so i usually hear it, but this time i heard nothing

[prime nimbus]

first mining head: lancet, then gadget boremax (instability -75% MEANING more stable and sabir -75% resistance (meaning ieasier to fill it up)

[glossy forge]

Yep

[twin marsh]

which module for prospector do you recommend?

[round inlet]

oh so i can put more of that on one rock

can i use it again after one use? @prime nimbus

[prime nimbus]

gadgets are a multiuse

also i was in the shower

if you need any idea on how to mine i can show you how to mine in a prospector

[arctic haven]

can you reasonably fill a MOLE's cargo hold with quant?

[prime nimbus]

no

once you mine ur first quant you are on a 15m timer

[arctic haven]

right, I was thinking about the fact that I've never seen quant rocks big enough to get, what? 64 scu? of quant in one crack

maaaaaybe if you found 2 fatty 8k rocks at like 40% quant each right next to each other but that begs the question... with mining modules on a prospector whats the point of a MOLE?

[prime nimbus]

96 cargo

[prime nimbus]

more cargo, and you do not need to mine quantanium itself, try laranite for example

[arctic haven]

gotcha, is that nearly as lucrative? I've only ever mined quant

[prime nimbus]

its half of quantanium but its not unstable

but you should know you are only limited to the amout of cargo your ship has, so for 96 cargo you need a ship that has the capacity for it

[viral lark]

Is there anywhere I can sell fruit, decari pods, and/or clothing?

[prime nimbus]

fruits ?????? idk what decari pods are and clothing yes, on gallerias (everywere) just no medical gowns

[viral lark]

Like Oza, Blue Bilva, Lunes, etc.

[prime nimbus]

HUH

how did you get that ?

[viral lark]

They're lootables

Technically they're called harvestables

[prime nimbus]

ah

i do not think so then

[topaz burrow]

woooo just cracked my first quant!

[viral lark]

Is ROC mining worth it if you don't have a ship to carry your ROC?

Was thinking about just getting my ROC from the mining area 141 on Daymar and driving around

Also do ground vehicles currently have infinite fuel?

[arctic haven]

they do have infinite fuel as far as ive experienced

my friends ROC mine and its been pretty lucrative for them, about 150k an hour as you average it out

[north oyster]

If say you definitely need a ship. If you rent the ROC, Cutty and buy the Pembroke armor, you're in about 50k. I've trip can get you about 200k

[arctic haven]

I have a Connie as well so I can haul no problem - but that's interesting I imagine it's about as lucrative as hunting down quant may even out for the time commitment of flying around lyria looking for quant rocks

[prime nimbus]

i have about 24 SCU cargo

of quantanium

[keen zinc]

whats a good planet to mine on with a rented prospector, aberdine was nice but is there a better planet?

[strange cypress]

with a rented one? i dont think so

[keen zinc]

alright

and another thing, i have a completed work order but i cant put only part of the scu in my aurora

i dont know how to lower the amount i want to take with me

[strange cypress]

mmm maybe u dont have enough SCU if not idrk

[topaz burrow]

Aurora doesnt have cargo space. well it has 3 SCU

[keen zinc]

it has space for 300scu

but i got 1500 to transport

[topaz burrow]

3scu 300uSCU

[strange cypress]

thats true

[keen zinc]

it says 1581/300

its refined ores

[topaz burrow]

yeah you cant split cargo, you need a ship that can take whole cargo

gotta rent the drake cutty

[strange cypress]

get a cutty

[keen zinc]

fml

[strange cypress]

its a nice choice to start

[keen zinc]

ill probs lose money on this but alright

[sonic laurel]

How many SCU do you have to move?

[prime nimbus]

is it normal that i do not see scu crates on the rented freelancer >?

[north oyster]

Most any moon or planet. You want any type of rock that is NOT Quantainium. Yela is pretty good for agricium and laranite

you can also mine in Aaron's Halo

This will show you how to get to the Halo

@noble viper I have made a request but I have not received any acknowledgement from a Moderator. I am trying to avoid doing a DM because that is the job of this bot.

[north oyster]

you can stack your refinery jobs so you do not have to rent the cutty or FL until you have a bunch to move. I waited until I had about 25 refinery jobs. Now, with the cutty you will be able to move roughly one job at a time. With the Freelancer, you can probably squeeze two jobs (as long as not above max SCU cargo for the FL).

[hollow sedge]

i just brought a prospector and a lancet mh1, went to Lyria to mine quantanium am scanning and scanning and can`t find any good deposits anyone can help me?

[cerulean lichen]

Like can’t find quant deposits at all or just poor deposits like 2%?

[sonic laurel]

The Aaron Halo is a lie

Been there and it's full of glitched rocks

[glossy forge]

what am i supposed to do w the inert materials from mining, it wont let me refine it

[grand steppe]

so I want to get into mining more, should I A) buy a Prospector, or B) Buy a ROC with upgrades and put it in my Cutty Black?

[vivid sorrel]

Quant doesn't show in boxes (yet)

[vivid sorrel]

Well the ROC is cheap to buy if you already got a ship to carry it around, so why not start there?

[grand steppe]

ya I just think it may be a pain to do solo

Probably just do the ROC

[keen zinc]

how much did you roughly make with that?

[vivid sorrel]

I mean you can just buy a Prospector a bit later as well, after testing ROC mining. It's not like you HAVE to do only one thing 😄

[grand steppe]

ya true

[north oyster]

It was around 5m aUEC, I don't recall at the moment the exact

[keen zinc]

holy shit

thats more enough to buy the ship

what type of ore did you mine mostly

[abstract cobalt]

wheres the best place to mine? Like for starters, wanna go rent a roc and cutty to go mining (usually just get a roc and join a mate to mine but he does all the flying and stuff)

[hollow sedge]

yeah...

[north oyster]

Quantainium is the only ore you mine in the game currently.

[north oyster]

Aberdeen, you will need Pembroke Armor

[abstract cobalt]

what happens if I dont have pembroke armor?

[north oyster]

You should be able to make back twice your expenses in one trip

You go to Daymar or you die

[abstract cobalt]

pembroke it is xD thanks

[north oyster]

Here’s another tip: if you jump to OM-1 and dive to the surface there, it is always daylight there

Be sure to not crash and crater on the surface

[abstract cobalt]

will give that a go, thanks for the advice

[vivid sorrel]

hmm...anyone else seeing alot of invisible gem deposits when roc mining recently?

[celest otter]

Perhaps someone came across this, I rented a prospector for few days and sometimes I sold materials directly to the trading console to get some money, however since today i'm not able anymore to sell ore to the trading console, I always store my ship but I cannot select the prospector anymore! however if i use the refine terminal I can select it just fine.

[vivid sorrel]

what material is it?

@celest otter Most likely the load in the prospect does not contain any material classified as "ore" in that cause you have to refine it to sell it.

[celest otter]

Agricium? Bexalite?

[weak hound]

Anyone need a scout?

[round inlet]

why refinery terminal aren't working?

[north oyster]

The store or the refinery console to refine ore?

[round inlet]

yeh

to buy gadget

just black screen

[north oyster]

that's been an issue since 3.17 dropped unfortunately. What are you trying to get, I think I can find a alternate store

[round inlet]

is the second time in a row in 2 times

[round inlet]

vaux but i just remember i got some on area 18

[north oyster]

ah, rgr. Port Olisar has Surge and Lancet

[round inlet]

anyway damn if i lost all my gadget i have to wait for them to fix it?

[north oyster]

Shubin in New Babbage Commons has the Stampede

You loose everything if you have to claim the ship (except the laser head)

[round inlet]

yeh

indeed random explosion are kinda common

[north oyster]

3.17.1 is a dumpster fire

[round inlet]

is that bad? i don't play since the day before they release it

3.17

[north oyster]

The list is long. I know that it was rushed for Invictus Week and it wasn't ready

[round inlet]

idk about 3.17.1

[north oyster]

I'm confident that 3.17.2 will be pretty stable and back to normal "life in the 'verse"

but that isn't until the end of June

I expect it to be in PTU next week

[round inlet]

damn

[north oyster]

I've held off getting back into my industrial mode of mining.

I usually try to turn a million or two per day but now it's nothing for the past couple of weeks

The Halo hasn't been kind to me either since 3.17.1 ... all the rolls for the asteroids have been below 10%

Fortunately others have had better luck

[faint river]

Hey guys. I haven’t mine in a while. What are the best locations so far to min quant except Lyria? I heard around microtech was good but I never tried.

[topaz burrow]

Hi! Has anyone got a similar table for what rock mass/quant% will fill a mole?

[toxic citrus]

Too bad that mole doesnt work rn

[topaz burrow]

Yeh, just planning for future:)

[prisma raven]

What’s a good site for trading/cargo hauling ?

[toxic citrus]

None are better from each other

They all will just give a basic idea for commodity prices

[river cove]

how do I turn on the mining modules?

[toxic citrus]

They are on automatically

Unless you mean the limited use ones

[river cove]

uhmm nop some say offline

surge and stampeed

ya they off

[prisma raven]

Ok I saw some agricium runs from Arial… might try that

[river cove]

whats the best mats to mine after quantium?

[humble stump]

Are there weak spots on asteroids? feels like my mining laser does more damage aming at certain spots

[river cove]

@humble stumpya but depend mass of rock too

fisrt think I learn

[valid quail]

anywhere to get stampede? refinery computers are bugged

[river cove]

you have to get it at ather places

one sec

https://finder.cstone.space/ShipMiningMods

[humble stump]

why is lancet so op o_o hmmm

[crimson rapids]

wym

i just bought one

[humble stump]

What is a "deposits charge rate"?

people say surge+stampede with lancet.

[river cove]

I tried stampeed it but hell is hard to controll

I think need some stabilizer or somthing anyone?

also my mods are gone??????????? wtf

[rose cedar]

stampede is for when you are in the green zone to boost the green charge. Surge is to one-shot it to up close to green zone.

Brandt stabilizes the green charge rate, but it is hella slow

[last maple]

Made my first Mil earlier today, who's got an idea as to how I turn that in to 2 mil without setting foot in a bunker again

Hauling would be the obvious one to spiral the cash but my ship only has 96scu so that's not gonna happen

Buying prospector worth or best just eating it and saving to get Mole?

[river cove]

I think solo would be the same?

[rose cedar]

get prospector, as the mole is broken

[river cove]

u can rent a black for hulage

[rose cedar]

invest in small cargoer with that money

[river cove]

I have a max cheap

[humble stump]

What do you do to make the scanner work?

[last maple]

Small cargoer? I got a connie

The returns on anything under 400 scu seems not worth the time investment

[rose cedar]

sometimes turn the laser on/off to scan it

or use V

[humble stump]

V isn't doing it either

[river cove]

ok so what the best way to use lancet solo quantium surge? and waht else ?

[rose cedar]

then it is an unscannable rock, move on

[winter mica]

any point to mining for anything other than Quantanium besides just for fun?

[rose cedar]

shit wrong person reply

if it doesnt scan on either, move onto another rock

its known bug

[rose cedar]

you can do Beryl if you cannot find enough quant

its not like an amazing adventure, i use it to chill and make money

[winter mica]

i see

ty

[humble stump]

other asteroids are scanning but not this one

[rose cedar]

its a bugged rock then

move on

[humble stump]

I could see Beryl being worth it in the MOLE with the bigger capacity, but in prospector bleh noty

[rose cedar]

i go for other good paying ore if the quant goddess is shunning me

rather than wasting more time

[river cove]

Still wait for help on mods

I really not sure how to uyse surge I tried and boom

[crimson rapids]

sure is just a power dump

so if your halveway in green and use it youll overcharge to the max and the rock with go boom

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

watch that @river cove

[river cove]

Thanks that was great help

[calm hazel]

has anyone done number analysis on the different mining modules?

[humble stump]

so overcahrging weapons or overclocking the head do anything?

[patent fiber]

anyone know if the mole is operational again yet?

[calm hazel]

operational? yes. storage? no

[patent fiber]

lol so no then

[calm hazel]

we're mining with one now

one mole and two prospectors

[patent fiber]

mole to break, prospectors to suck?

[calm hazel]

ya

[cursive cave]

if I were to fill a roc with all hadanite how much would it sell for?

[winter mica]

depends where you sell it

[cursive cave]

hm, wheres the best place to sell? and how much could that get me

[last maple]

240k ish

[sonic laurel]

[crimson rapids]

ez pz

from a single rock too

[gray turtle]

are the refining kiosks working now

[pulsar marsh]

i know how to use the surge and stampede modules, but how do i use brandt?

[pulsar marsh]

no

[cosmic sparrow]

I haven't had an issue with them today

[patent fiber]

when you are having an issue with instability

[pulsar marsh]

does he mean the kiosks that let you refine, or the ones that you buy from in the refinery place

[cosmic sparrow]

he said "refining"

[brave pewter]

anyone have a good erkul page for the carrack?

[humble stump]

what do people mean when they mine in ring 1, or 3-4, of aarons?

[viral lark]

Can you sell food (the Sustenance category in the inventory) anywhere?

[valid quail]

cheers bud, i'll check it out

[viral lark]

Has anyone tried using the Raven's Roost trade terminal recently? My ship won't shop up for some reason

[humble stump]

https://dto9r5vaiz7bu.cloudfront.net/kn7zy42edv1cg/hub_large.png

How od I get into "band 5" of it?

how do I see my distance from stanton?

[pulsar marsh]

wait can you refine hadanite?

[humble stump]

is this band 5?

[fallen atlas]

any easy cargo runs y'all recommend for me in a titan?

[crimson rapids]

go to CRUL1 route to ARCL3 and drop out around 11.7-11.9

[crimson rapids]

run titanium diamond and laranite from all of arccorps moons and sell it at area 18

save for a better ship

easiest in the big ships but a good halveway point is the misc max

[fallen atlas]

Awesome thanks, I'll give that a shot.

[rotund flame]

is that semi decent profits?

[crimson rapids]

in a cat it can make up to 90k max

its like 88 or some shit

cargo is in a bad spot right now

[rotund flame]

Considering renting a hauler/cat and doing hadonite mining

[crimson rapids]

if your renting for money

rent a cutty black and a roc

do it for like 8-9hrs and you "should" have enough for a prospector

i think together they are around 50k for 1day

[humble stump]

but there's a whole ring around the star... i dont want just that point o_o

[crimson rapids]

you underestimate how huge the halo is

[river cove]

what metod to refine quantium is nest?

best?

or what do u like ?

[marble crater]

Ferron or Dinyx depending on how quick I want it done

[river cove]

well any difference if afster?

[marble crater]

Ferron costs more and is a bit quicker. Both options give the highest yield

[river cove]

cool I have no rush I strack a 49% at 4700 mass

man was yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

scoreeeeeeeeeee

didn t use the mods at all

ah so I can load directly to my max nice

[drowsy lion]

is that a prospector?

[crimson rapids]

yeah

[drowsy lion]

bet, buying one rn to start out mining, ty

[strange delta]

pls fix mole ty

[drowsy lion]

should i buy freelancer max and go for "space trucking" or go directly with the prospector for the chad mining strategy. upgrading my starter package and i don't know what to decide

[crimson rapids]

both

[drowsy lion]

i can only do one atm

[crimson rapids]

prospector

[drowsy lion]

okay, thanks

[crimson rapids]

im getting sick and tired of these fucking quant rocks not scanning

[willow rover]

How can I buy stuff to mine when the mining shop screens are broken

[crimson rapids]

swap servers

some work

some dont

[willow rover]

ok

[drowsy lion]

is my cutty going to be good enough for my prospectors refined items, atleast until i buy a larger scu capacity with aUEC

[crimson rapids]

black?

[drowsy lion]

correct

[crimson rapids]

ye

1 order per trip

[drowsy lion]

alright, about 5-10 runs?

[crimson rapids]

once you get bigger ship you wont really have an issue

1 full prospector load refined per trip

[drowsy lion]

true, that's my only issue with buying prospector over the max, but if my cutty is good enough for now i'll take it

[crimson rapids]

the max is around 2 mil if im not wrong

so it shouldnt take too long

if anything you could rent a bigger ship after you stack like 10-15 orders

[drowsy lion]

oh damn, i totally forgot about renting

definetly going to buy this prospector then, i appreciate the info

[north oyster]

I need to watch RedMonster's video on radar ping tuning. I'm thinking that'll up the game for asteroid miners

[river cove]

hey but my full load quantium the was no tiemer wtf???

[north oyster]

did you go bump?

[crimson rapids]

bro i just need them to fix scanning in general

ive seen three fucking rocks in a row that were quant but i couldnt scan them

[north oyster]

The Non-scans is a server mesh issue, it'll be next year before that is fixed

Todd Pappy said that a few weeks ago

[crimson rapids]

ah yes

horrible issue ruining one of the main money makers

thats next years problem

[north oyster]

Notice it isn't an issue on planet surfaces (for the vast majority)

[crimson rapids]

and if it is

you can just shoot the rock

and it will fix itself

[north oyster]

I just can't find anything over 10%, well I take that back, I found found ONE rock that was 10.48%. I was soo happy!! at least the 89K aUEC from it will pay for gas

[crimson rapids]

mine goes 2% for around 20mins

unscannable rock that prob has 60% then another 2% and then nothing for 10mins and then a 40

i found a 6.12

thats the best in almost halve an hour

nvm found a 6vein with a 22 and a 23

[willow rover]

Where can i get mining stuff when the terminals are glitched

[novel granite]

anoyne have tips for solo mole mining

[crimson rapids]

tip 1:dont

[novel granite]

damn

i keep finding rock that i cant take w prosp

[crimson rapids]

lmao

what like 6ks?

[novel granite]

5.5-7k

[north oyster]

what stuff are you looking for? Surge at Port Olisar but they were out of stock earlier. Also the Lancet there. Shubin in the Commons of New Babbage has the Stampede and a few other things.

finder.cstone.space is a good place to look

[cold thorn]

Absolute best advice for cargo hauling. Go!

[north oyster]

If you have a C2, CAT or Carrack ... then GO! Start with Scrap from Area18 TDD to ARC-L1. Astitine in Ida to Lorvile, Gold and Titanium on Lyria to A18 TDD

Or you can look up Jack Axton's Trade Refresher Course on YouTube. It's about 6 mths old but still very valid

[cold thorn]

Yes, I gotta Cat. I like your suggestions so far!

[north oyster]

Overall, trade isn't in the best place in the game. That will come around about this time next year

[north oyster]

With the Surge and Stampede, you can crack the larger rocks. But it will take some practice. Pretty risky overall.

[north oyster]

Nice, I've not seen that since 3.17.1 dropped.

BTW, worth a watch
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vz8TOCUa0Ms

[cold thorn]

I'll check it out. Thanks for your advice

[junior edge]

anyone know why my greycat is dead in the water and cant move

[spare fog]

Is it over heating?

What's a good ship to haul a full load of refined quant from a prosecutor that's on the cheaper end

[calm hazel]

lol medium missions have shown me how bad I am

10 minutes of jousting with a cutlass with nobody going down

[indigo wolf]

Probably one of the freelancers or Cutty black

[junior edge]

yes said overheating couldnt fix it or get it to move

[vivid sorrel]

It gets wear on the components, and repair on pads don't work. Sooo you need to claim every couple of runs

You can shoot the dead ROC and use a multitool tractor to take it's box with gems into the ship. Now you can try to sell those gems at a station with ship stored, but last time i had to do this, the box wasn't detected, and i had to move every hadanite manaully into my backpack to sell 😛

Don't try and "scoop" the roc in to the ship with your ramp, 99% you go boom

[river cove]

ok so wny cargo tradind good at the moment too?

hey guys question about raffinery anyone?

[vivid sorrel]

Just ask, and those around will answer if they can ^^

[river cove]

Ok so I have some quantium in rifine and did the load to my max so can I still use the max wile the quantium refine or have to stay in port?

[vivid sorrel]

If you collected/transferred a work order that was done\finished, it will be on the max, so losing it would mean losing that quant. If you chose a ship for a workorder in progress, but didn't chose to interrupt it to collect, it did not transfer anyhing, so it's fine.

[river cove]

so I chose to transfer it in the max withg the work order but will be finish tomorrow so is ok then

?

[vivid sorrel]

If the workorder is still in the refinery, you have not transferred it into the ship

If so the ship is free.

There's no way to "lock" the ship to the station, either the order is in the refinery, or it's on the ship

[river cove]

Ok but whne I look the work order look like they start transfer from the moment start to refine

[vivid sorrel]

No, that's just the UI. If you got out of the terminal and back in, you'll see you need to choose ship again

[river cove]

ok thanks I can look now

btw so wile I wait any hulage with my max to trade for creds or trading is bad?

[vivid sorrel]

I can't say

Try it out and tell me 😄

[river cove]

LOL

ok so in game where to look what we can trade I mean what and who need most?

there is a manifest or somthing?

[vivid sorrel]

https://sc-trade.tools/home
https://uexcorp.space/trade

Best i can do. But you can basically only trust the locations they give, meaning where they buy and sell the goods, you cannot trust stocklevels at all.

ah, and halo loves me again, first Q rock i scan 😄

[surreal granite]

dude how

i spend 40 min searching and couldnt find any over 2%

and then add the scanning bug on top smh

[vivid sorrel]

Ah, you need the scanning techniques one second to find vid

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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vz8TOCUa0Ms

You'll still be subject to RNJesus ofc, but it makes things alot easier to find and scan

[surreal granite]

cheers ill check them out

[viral lark]

Anyone know where I can sell multi-tools and med guns?

[vivid brook]

anyone got any tips when a cluster of asteroids won't scan? or is it a bust

[marble crater]

just gotta move on unfortunately. bugged asteroids are a common occurrence

[vivid brook]

dang

ty

[vivid sorrel]

Any place that sells them will buy them

[vivid sorrel]

If this is asteroid mining in the halo, then they are bugged, so ignore

[vivid brook]

okay my internet booting me out of the game twice in 30 min while trying to mine quant is a hint to give up for the night lol

[round inlet]

what is the best place in this update for quantum?

lyria seems empty

[sudden bridge]

is it me or is the stations for where you buy the modules bugged and they are just a black screen?

[viral lark]

I tried to sell Parameds at Grimhex but the pharmacy doesn't buy them, they only sell them

[vivid sorrel]

Okay? That's...off. Every other pharmacy would buy medguns

[earnest crystal]

How can I get started on the drug hauling business

I got a Connie

[north oyster]

Happy for you! I'm still one the hate list. Only found a 10.48% last night. Did you see the link earlier to the video by Red Monster SC? I'm going to start testing that, I least it will help process more rocks.

[vivid sorrel]

Yeah yesteday was terribad in halo

[north oyster]

The Dud-scans is a server meshing issue. So that will be with us until this time next year or later

[vivid sorrel]

I have watched the scanning vid, they're great - but sooo many bugged rocks you have to ignore sometimes...and sometimes takes forever to find any Quant rocks at all, and then sometimes you just get one handed to you 😄

[north oyster]

I'm thinking CIG has allowed a college intern to tweak with the spawn rate. Something is way off since 3.17 dropped.

[north oyster]

The refinery stores are messed up. 3.17.1 was a hot mess that they rushed out for the free fly. If you check this website, you can find alternate locations for what you are looking for
finder.cstone.space

[north oyster]

Vice is not in a good place, it is the worst of all trade options at the moment. The issue isn't buying the vice but the purchase rate is trash. If you get a big haul like with the connie, it would take you a week to sell it off.

[flint trench]

Hi, I'm having a problem with my prospector, I cannot store it, even if i land on the pad or hangar i will only have the option to claim it. anyway to work around this? It cost me a lot in modules before i figured it out...

[mental forge]

I had the same problem, it seems that the ship auto stores after a few mins

[flint trench]

thanks, but it also spawns like this every time:

no way to repair or anything

maybe it's related idk

[keen zinc]

anyone got any tips to make enough to buy the prospector?

[teal raft]

quick question about refining, i just set up my first refine order and am not sure whether i gotta leave my mining ship in storage so station has access to minerals or if they are autotransfered to station and ship is good to take out for another run?

nvm chat helped me out

[summer kelp]

can somebody help me with sc trade tools for a quick sec?

im in vc 4

[pastel flame]

Bounty hunting is good, but if you prefer mining, you could hand mine hadanite

[hardy mesa]

Rent an roc and a cutlass black 180k an hr mining hadenite

[rugged axle]

Yea roc mining. Even with aphorite I make 50k in 30 minutes. Not insane money but if you find hadanite you can bump it to almost quantanium.

[hollow sedge]

Is Aberdeen the best place?

[sonic laurel]

How do you scan down cave entrances?

[mental forge]

It’s the same for me, just ignore it, it doesn’t matter

[atomic lark]

Where all the quant rocks at now

[crimson rapids]

the unminable 32%

wooooo

[north oyster]

Right now just wait. The real fix is a character reset BUT it seems that is also hosed in this build.

[north oyster]

Aberdeen is the best for hadinite but you also need Pembroke armor

[chilly stag]

good mining day

[high wren]

@chilly stag where you mining at? for some reason my lyria runs for past few days have been horrible. no luck on any good rocks with quant. tons of 2% big rox or like 20% on 3k mass rocks. before (couple weeks ago) was finding plenty of 5k mass 30+% quant. not to mention the terminals to buy modules and gadgets on stations not working grrrrr

[vestal ravine]

Taking the Roc out twice found Dolovine and Hadanite both sessions game crashes. Bummed out a bit.

[buoyant cedar]

I about had a panic attack. full prospector of Quan. and the game crashed as i was returning to Arc-L1. when i logged back in i was already at L1 and my ship was stored. didn't see anything in the cargo, so I got the ship back out and BAM...still had 10 minutes before the Quan. became unstable. so i went back in and store it. now it's at the refinery. THANK GOODNESS!

[vestal ravine]

You are so lucky! Good going!

[buoyant cedar]

I thought i was going to log back in and have like 30 seconds before the ship blew up lol

[vestal ravine]

The Space God's are with you. Until tomorrow.

[ivory mango]

Wooo I found a cluster of 5 Quant rocks!!

Spoiler: they were all 2%

[buoyant cedar]

there's been a lot of that lately.

[chilly stag]

thats 50 bicycle crunches

[stone tinsel]

Do a character reset, I was hesitant but did it today. Cleared up all that crazy shit for me. Crashes, unclaimable ships, missing ore, missing jobs. So much better, IFW had my account messed up

[chilly stag]

i have no problems at all, only the 4 copies of my prospector are a little annoying

[patent fiber]

anyone know if moles can suck again?

[hardy mesa]

Last I saw no

[fallen pewter]

What planet is best for roc mining

[patent fiber]

last I checked, ROC mining is still broke

[chilly stag]

aberdeen

[sudden bridge]

How far away does the scan usually tell you what is in the rock? because i have to get super close to it

[gaunt fiber]

what's super close?

Should be able to scan, and get minable materials at about 200km or closer

[sudden bridge]

like 300m from it till it tells me what is in the rock

[gaunt fiber]

that sounds about right

you can get general info (mass, resistance, etc) farther away, which can be helpful if, for example, you're in a prospector and can only break rocks < 5K in mass

[sudden bridge]

Hmmm figured i could see what was in it from further becasue the video i watched scans it from like 3000m out

tol them what was in it too

[gaunt fiber]

you can also do a visual check of the rock, once you know what you're looking for. For example you can tell what a quantanium rock looks like from its tell tail golden veins

[gaunt fiber]

I've never known a scan to show the rock's minable materials from 3K out

If you're mining for QT on Lyria, you can tell it's QT if you see multiple star icons from the same box, but that will not actually show you the amount of QT in the rock, you still have to travel to the rock(s) to find out.

if you use your scanner (v) you can only get minable materials if you decrease the "noise" by getting closer to it

the outline of the rock will be purple until you get that "noise" amount down, then the outline will turn orange which will show you the minable material makeup

it could be that the particular rock was already scanned closer, then the material makeup will be remembered and it may show up from farther away

[sudden bridge]

Mmmm i will have to test it out. also some rock just dont want to scan either :/

spends 20mins looking for a decent rock

ive been scanning rocks for 30 mins and found nothing. half of them wont scan either

[gaunt fiber]

my scanning technique (on Lyria) is to get my prospector pretty high (alt is broken so just eyeball it) and then send out a 360 deg ping... any new box that shows up over 10km is a set of rocks or a cluster (which means they're QT)

I don't think scanning is broken for me, but I haven't done a mining trip today, so could be that scanning is just broken.

[viral lark]

Ooo you can place boxes on the side racks of the mule

[sudden bridge]

where abouts do you mine on Lyria?

[weak hound]

If you'd like, I can join you and scout. Basically find the rocks for you

I won't charge either, I need the practice anyway

Just let me know if that's something that interests you

[gaunt fiber]

@sudden bridge I usually head to The Pit, but definitely do not stick around known jump points while mining

I'm happy to help as well, just DM me and I'll bring my Prospector and show you how I scout

[jaunty laurel]

I just go to a random spot on dayside, today I haven't found anything more than 5% though /=

[gaunt fiber]

yeah, good tip on the dayside comment... not fun mining in the dark

[sudden bridge]

We can @weak hound just wanted to test 1 rock but atm cant find anything xD i tried in the asteroid belt but found literally 0 rocks to mine

[willow rover]

IF I wanted to give my frined my refined quant to sell for me could I and how?

[patent fiber]

not yet, but soon

[weak hound]

Lol yeah that sounds about right

[willow rover]

So best betis just to rent a catapillar and sell it

[weak hound]

@sudden bridge found some good rocks

Down in the vibin vc

Want me to stay near them?

[hollow sedge]

Noted. Thank you.

[humble stump]

Anyone want to mine together? I think I'm ion a good spot

[north oyster]

My ship use to do that, it is a cosmetic issue. If it properly stows mined ore, then you are good.

[jaunty laurel]

Sure, I'm not having any luck at the moment d=

[north oyster]

I'm pretty sure a college intern at CIG screwed with the code for Quantainium, like they let one do for Trade last year.

[humble stump]

Oshirigami is my name in game. Add me and join on me.

[humble stump]

You can come too. easier to save spot with more people

I'm mining in band 5 near arc l1

[little pendant]

I've been mining on Lyria and refining at ARC-L1 but just noticed that CRU/MIC L1 have increased yields for quant. is there a different strategy I should be doing for mining/refining? I feel like it'd be way too risky to try to go from Lyria to those stations with volatile cargo

[humble stump]

You spend more time getting to the mining spots

longer quant travel

Anyone else want to come quant mine in band 5 near arc l1?

[weak hound]

I think the mole is bugged atm

[river cove]

@weak houndis broken

@humble stumphey still mining?

[weak hound]

?

Did you just attempt to insult me? Lol

[river cove]

@weak houndNo I want to buy one but someone here told me do not to becose is broken

[worn dock]

Just tried ROC mining for the first time last night, and wondering if there is a more efficient way than how I'm doing it.

[weak hound]

Ahh, ok

[humble stump]

add oshirigami/innociv.

[weak hound]

Probably not

[river cove]

@humble stumpAu servver?

[worn dock]

I use [tab] sensor set to 180 degrees. when something pops up at under 5000m, I get close enough to see if it is gems. IF so, I land, get the ROC out and check it. If it isn't Hadanite, I reload the ROC and look elsewhere

[gaunt fiber]

you can check if it's hadanite while still in your ship

[worn dock]

oh I was hoping that

[gaunt fiber]

and I'd check boxes under 1K km or closer

anything farther away is likely an ore minable

[humble stump]

I don't think so

[river cove]

@humble stumpis ok I add u then join your server

[worn dock]

oh wow that close? I thought anything that didn't pop at more than 1k was a hand minable

[flint trench]

@north oyster @mental forge ok thanks guys

[river cove]

@humble stumpsent

[humble stump]

chat seems to be dying

[river cove]

oh no

hey did they take the timer off with the quantium? yesterday I did a full load the was no timer

[little pendant]

definitely still a timer. game crashed as I was heading back from some quant mining and I loaded back in outside of my ship in space with a few mins left and the light lit up/beeping

[river cove]

oh

[humble stump]

Just try and join on me and no there is still timer

[river cove]

well defenetly wasnt not warning in my ship or timer going

@humble stumpok ill try get couple of mogules then back to rafinery

[crimson rapids]

some random shithead just torpedo'd my 32SCUs of raw quant on the landing pad

[river cove]

BASTARD

[toxic citrus]

Happens

[river cove]

hey what other mats are to mine in asteroid with soem profit?

[toxic citrus]

lemme see rq

Bexalite, Taranite, Borase

and the top three after quant

[river cove]

I find a shit load of tunghesten ..................

[toxic citrus]

crap

[river cove]

ya

[toxic citrus]

Bexalite, Taranite, Borase, Laranite and Agricium are the best 5 apart from quant

That's in value order

bexa being the best and agri worst

[river cove]

damn good mass rock quant 2.1% 😦

yetsrday I got 4700 mass 49.1% quant

[lethal aspen]

Where can I buy mining modules for my ship?

I'm at ARC L1 right now, refinery shop kiosks don't work.

[calm hazel]

someone posted their favorite halo locations the other day and I wish I copied the post :X

[river cove]

@lethal aspen go to cities or PO look the list here https://finder.cstone.space/ShipMiningMods

[pulsar marsh]

what do you guys use to transport your refined quantanium

or better question, i just got my prospector and started mining and refining quantanium, what ship should i rent to transport it now, and save up to buy later?

[calm hazel]

c2 feels too big imo

[humble stump]

What is best will likely change with the cargo refractor

Cause the argo and hull ones will likely become faster

[pulsar marsh]

what cargo refactor?

[humble stump]

Cargo will have to be physically loaded and take time

[pulsar marsh]

when is this?

[river cove]

@pulsar marshyou can rent a cutty black they cheap as per cheap cargo the max would do till u get more creds

[pulsar marsh]

ok thats good, because i still have a cutty black i rented a long time ago that is well into the negatives for time remaning
what should i save up for?

[humble stump]

Freelancer max it's the most cargo per credit cost

[river cove]

@pulsar marshI would save for a max more cargo space

[humble stump]

I want to get a railen

[pulsar marsh]

oh thats what you mean by 'the max would do till u get more creds'

i didnt know the max was a ship lol

[river cove]

same at prospector but much more space

and bright orange 🙂

[hardy mesa]

Argo colored freelancer

[river cove]

@pulsar marshremember to buy a lancet laser if you hown the ship also mining modules

[pulsar marsh]

thanks, i already have

[river cove]

@pulsar marshnice

[humble stump]

Where at area 18 do I actually sell this quantanium?

[calm hazel]

Go into the square from the train and it's the big complex on the right

I can't use my mining laser for some reason... neither right nor left click works. Persists through crashing the ship and relogging. Any way to fix?

Oh, somehow I lost the laser head

I didn't know that was possible

[river cove]

uhmmm collision with asteroid?

[calm hazel]

I've exploded it a fair few times but never lost a mining head until now

[river cove]

I loose the mining mods i die but laser never

[calm hazel]

yeah exactly first time

[river cove]

unless it happen when the laser was out but again I never experience that

[humble stump]

Not too bad I guess.

Railen needs to come out sooner.

[river cove]

you joiking ? lol not bad at all 😄

[pulsar marsh]

what mass and percentage do you guys look for when mining quant with prospector and lancent?

[river cove]

not over 5000 and with prosp I guess 35%

or over

some ppl want border under 40

but mass over 5 is difficolt even with modules

[pulsar marsh]

thanks. i thought it was around there. the first rock i found was like 5.5k and like 49% and i figured i was just lucky. i was able to get with brandt and surge

[river cove]

ya that what I do but sometime is hard to control surge lol

problem at that % cant load all but I have a little trick to mark the point and camback 🙂

[pulsar marsh]

how do you mark it?

[humble stump]

On that note, what cargo ship is best if you have to rent one?

to sell quant

[river cove]

@humble stumpidk what is the bigest ship can rent? not sure

[humble stump]

I don't know..

[river cove]

I thogt area 18 have a rent place in the spaceport?

[humble stump]

I'm no longer there

[river cove]

OH

Laranite?

I just cant fide quant'

[viral lark]

Does anyone know which refinery terminals are working? CRU-L1 does not appear to be

[calm hazel]

I hadn't realized those were borken

[north oyster]

did you get the option to press charges? Record his name, maybe we can put a bounty on them. I'm sure some of the LOST members would love to hunt down trash like that

[north oyster]

NB and Lorville, I think Orison too. I don't recall seeing a place at Ryker Spaceport

[scarlet rover]

Actually I was just filling up my ship at an outpost when I heard an explosion. Someone outside apparently ran his Carrack into it, and then pressed charges against me (outside my ship) for damaging his.

I lost my ship and got a CS, had to backspace to get away. Didn't realize you could do that to people.

[north oyster]

As bad as the ratios have been, I'm happy finding any thing over 10%. But that's just me because the dice gods hate me. A 10% is worth about 89K aUEC. You can quick calculate based off that. 20% ~180K, 30% is 270K aUEC and pretty much the maximum you will pull in a Prospector

[north oyster]

That trash had been fixed but is back in 3.17.1 which is nothing but a dumpster fire

[river cove]

ok so I have quant in my cargo but no timer or warning ??

[north oyster]

You have 15minutes as a rule

[river cove]

but not warning light?

[north oyster]

Normally the alarm will start going off. But 3.17.1 is such a crapfest that there is no telling

[river cove]

lol oh well

[hardy mesa]

I set a timer to let me know

[scarlet rover]

it was pretty depressing because I understand getting ganked by unlawfuls outside an armistice, that's part of the game. but having someone who's clearly got $$ going around destroying ships and pinning the victims with CS is pretty fucked

[hardy mesa]

Can't wait for expanse or orion so I can ignore the you will die crap

[north oyster]

I try to stay off the beaten paths, that's why I mine the Halo almost exclusively.

[river cove]

holly crap that was a bumpy landing I letf the chair wile landing lol

[north oyster]

landings like that will set off raw quantainium if you are in a mining ship. I've had it go volatile on me before because of a bad shake when exiting Quantum Jump one time

[river cove]

I know that but for no reason I left the chair

[north oyster]

I had something similar happen yesterday. I was hovering near Area19 space port (so I could access Inventory) and while in inventory view I saw the ship start to fall and my toon start stumbling

But it was stable when I left Inventory view

odd, thought I was crashing for a moment

[river cove]

well I was in space so fortunatly was a bumpy soft landing but ya scarry

[cerulean lichen]

Well my trade route is no longer lucrative. Need to find a new one. Could make 120k on my old route now the buy price is so high I would only make 30k a trip.

[keen merlin]

Is there any lucrative trading anymore?

[zenith sail]

the andromeda or the freelancer would be the biggest rentals available (if you havent answered this question yet)

[humble stump]

no freelancer max? that sucks.

freelacner is only like 66 iirc

[zenith sail]

andromeda is 96 at least

but yeah, from what i can tell, no max

[worn dock]

is 61% Hadanite worth ROC mining?

Was lucky to get some in the 90-99% range, wondering if I should save the cargo space

[hardy mesa]

Taurus is like 100+ the snub fighter room is hidden cargo so it's not listed as scu cant be scanned so it great for drug running

[weak hound]

When salvaging comes into play, who would be down to crew up with me?

[hardy mesa]

Hopefully the reclaimer is fixed by then

[weak hound]

Yeah no kidding

[scarlet rover]

After getting to crawl through it during DefenseCon I'm super tempted to jump on the Vulture now

[north oyster]

Don't pay attention to the % of the rocks, they all yield the same number of gems. So mine all rocks you find of hadinite

There is no refinery, and all gems are worth 270 aUEC (iirc)

A full ROC is about 200K aUEC haul

[north oyster]

I did get one, I'm an "Industry" type player so I have a Liberator to carry (hopefully) the Prospector, Vulture and Expanse. If the Expanse doesn't fit, I might have to upgrade to the Kracken

I hope CIG considers making a little bit larger carrier for one's fleet.

[weak hound]

I'm very tempted to save the money for a few other ships

[hollow drum]

Where do you guys find bexalite

[north oyster]

You can buy practically everything in game. I'm just wanted to try to position myself where I can bounce back faster after a wipe

[north oyster]

The Halo in Band 5 and 6 seemed to have a lot. If you check SC Trade Tools it might can give you the best planets that have it

[weak hound]

That's my line of thinking as well

[hollow drum]

I've been searching in 5 😦

[weak hound]

Bexalite isn't in the Halo from what I found. Check out Lyria. Do you have a MOLE?

[north oyster]

I use a Prospector

[weak hound]

Askin ben

[hollow drum]

Rented a prospector... too poor lol

[weak hound]

I have a MOLE we can take out sometime if you'd like

You'll keep all profit

[hollow drum]

You guys just go into mining mode and point at rocks to scan them right?

And you just ping to find boxes and then hopefully groups of rocks?

[weak hound]

Yeah. Lemme jump in game and add you, I'll scout for you

Same name as discord?

[hollow drum]

I technically afk on my phone right now

[weak hound]

Ah

[hollow drum]

But yeah same name

[weak hound]

Well hop in game

[hollow drum]

Technically also in game ha

[weak hound]

I'll fly around the planet for you and find rocks

[hollow drum]

Laying down in my prospector heh

Is that the technique that you use tho?

Just ping 360 and go to box icons?

[weak hound]

I scout yes

Basically I find the rocks for you, you go down and collect them

Usually a scout is paid but I'm not worried about it rn. Let's get you some good rocks and go from there

[north oyster]

Try this:

Bexilite list

[worn dock]

Thanks! I was afraid I'd be sucking up junk ore from those low-purity rocks

[hollow drum]

Is that real time numbers or something ?

[north oyster]

That's the list from the game servers. It seems Aberdeen might be the best place for Bexilite ore

[weak hound]

Ben, hop into my vc

[hollow drum]

I can do vc after the kids go to bed heh

Before that I'm just a lone wanderer and have to go afk like all the time haha

Usually I can do VC and focus on playing after like 11, in 3 hours from now for me

[north oyster]

If you have a rental, just jump to Aberdeen and see how that looks. I always go to Aberdeen for gems but I've never looked at what the large ore deposits were like

You can refine over a HUR-L2 (warning, there is no food there... I'm told that is a feature)

[scarlet rover]

"not a bug"

[blazing cedar]

I mean... Theres the energy bars in the refinery shop 😂

[humble stump]

So the more I learn of mining.. the more the MOLE actually seems to be really good.

[blazing cedar]

But all Lagrange 1 stations also have a refinery, so

[humble stump]

On Lyria you can find spots with 80+ SCU of quant when Prospector only holds 32. You can put FLTR on one head to get stuff the prospector can't without sacrificing anything.

It's only the visual of the cargo that's bugged right? It can still extract fine?

[surreal granite]

how the hell am i suppose to mine quant if the scanner mining mode doesn't work every time i find a cluster of quant

[humble stump]

change servers afaik is a bug

[worn dock]

Does Aberdeen need a special suit?

[blazing cedar]

Depends on your definition of "need"

But it's a very hostile atmosphere, you probably get about 10, 20 minutes without a Pembroke

[worn dock]

as in "do I need a Novi or Permbroke to ROC mine"

[blazing cedar]

Oh for ROC mining you're gonna need a Pembroke suit

[worn dock]

Now I have to remember where I left it 😛

[blazing cedar]

It's a Venus-like hothouse, so

Visibility is gonna be shit, be ready for it

[scarlet rover]

speaking of MOLE, did they ever fix its extraction/storage bug?

[worn dock]

now you have me wondering if I'm better off staying on Daymar

[tranquil anvil]

is mole mining busted this patch?

cant scan any rocks

[rose cedar]

mole is broken avoid it

[scarlet rover]

they broke a lot this patch, huh

MOLE can't mine, RAFT elevator busted, HH ports won't open

[junior edge]

is there a build for quantum mining for prospector

just got my prospector paid for ^^

[vestal ravine]

Is the green gem the lowest value?

Pink. Purple, green

[pulsar marsh]

you what a lancent mining head for sure, i also slapped a vk00 drive in mine because im cheap

what do you guys think is the best passive mining modules for a lancet and quant? right now i have a surge and brandt. i know some people use a stampede but id rather have a passive in that slot, any recommendations?

[junior edge]

can you upgrade the cargo, only has 32 scu a greycat had 80 was weird

[hardy mesa]

No cargo capacity upgrades

[rose cedar]

FLTR-XL to reduce inert, is really only passive i would use

[junior edge]

according to the guide, im meant to buy an stampede module and surge but im at arc 1 but cant see where to buy them and the screen at the refining shop doesnt work

[rose cedar]

sadly we have to currently fly out-of-the-way to get the mods now

we have to go to the galleria's or stores not associated with the refineries. i think port olisar sells surge for example

[junior edge]

hawks gaming says to use surge and stampede but another guide says to use vaux-c3

[rose cedar]

vaux?

never heard of that one, or havent looked at it

[junior edge]

Quantanium
Laser: Lancet 1

1. Modul: Vaux-C3
2. Modul: Vaux-C3
3. Modul: Vaux-C3

[rose cedar]

i only use surge, stampede, brandt + Lancet 1

just have to be quick on the mouse for instab

my issue is finding quant clusters in the halo that ARE scannable

but that is an issue already well known

[hollow drum]

I managed to find some random bexalite on Aberdeen but only got like 8SCU 😦

Why does no one tell you that the type of rock indicates what might be in it?

Saves ton of time knowing what kind of asteroid you're looking for

Or rock

Like obsidian

[junior edge]

any reason the screen doesnt work cant buy the modules i need due to this

[tranquil anvil]

yea they busted all the screens in refinery stores

[hardy mesa]

It's a known glitch no fix gotta wait for a fix

[rose cedar]

refinery store consoles are broken, gotta go elsewhere

for mods etc

[tranquil anvil]

mining just got kinda shafted this patch i guess

[junior edge]

where would i go to buy stampedge modules

ARC-L1 - Refinery - Service - Mining support center is where i tried

[rose cedar]

https://finder.cstone.space/ShipMiningMods1/1bb6ee6d-3930-4c03-b6c6-38aad3a4703b

[junior edge]

thats where i got arc l1 from

[scarlet rover]

prepping to push industrial players to salvage 😂

[rose cedar]

looking like microtech

NB

[hardy mesa]

Not if they don't fix the reclaimer

[pulsar marsh]

when completing a refinery work order, does the destination ship need to be stored or on the pad?

[jaunty laurel]

stored

[sonic flax]

I don't think it matters

Both worked for me

[north oyster]

Ok, at one time they had removed water and snacks out of the refinery store. Glad to know they are back

[pulsar marsh]

can i not load a work load onto my prospector? the only option i see is my pisces expedition which is way to small lol

[hardy mesa]

No that cargo space is for collected minerals only cant put refined goods back into it

I suggest renting a cutlass black

[pulsar marsh]

i would if i had enough lol guess i ahve some work to do

[lean oyster]

Are terminals bugged at every refinery?

[hardy mesa]

As far as I know yes

[lean oyster]

Any way around it?

need gadgets 😦

[scarlet rover]

...I was just flying down to a moon when my ship detonated in atmo

half full of laranite

this patch has been brutal

I need to just stop trying to trade

[hardy mesa]

A few shops on planet sell the gadgets I'm not sure witch ones waiting for them to fix mining in general before I start playing again

[lean oyster]

dafuk am i supposed to buy stuff for mining with busted terminals lol

[viral lark]

So it's my first time mining with a ROC and I came across a quartzite deposit but I can't mine it (the charge bar won't go up). Do I need a stronger laser or something?

[pulsar marsh]

only mine hadanite gems

[viral lark]

I know that but that doesn't answer my question

[lofty sluice]

I've found ROC mining to be much more lucrative compared to Quant mining this patch, anyone else feel the same?

[vestal ravine]

I love it also. Stevie: Only Chris Roberts can help you.

[lofty sluice]

Tips for ROC mining (based on Connie Taurus scanner)

1. Focus Hadanite for most profit
   a. Aberdeen is your best bet, otherwise try Arial

2. When you ping scan:
   a. Ignore if it shows the “rock” icon as that is only a ship mineable rock
   b. If you ping scan something that is within 4km and it remains as the cube icon and doesn’t show the “rock” icon or white pip, it’s a ROC mineable deposit
   c. The “diamond” icon(s) should show once within 500m, allowing you to scan for the type of rock, make sure the size is .84. If it’s .11 it is a hand mineable, not ROC.
   d. When scanning the node, it should show up with the type of rock (Hadanite, Dolivine, etc.) but another way to tell if it doesn’t give you the name, is if the instability is around 1.8, it’s Hadanite.

[junior edge]

is it better with the stampede and surge module
or the 3x vaux c3 module

[lean oyster]

Just mined a bunch of quant in my MOLE, went to refinery and "select material location" is not showing my mole (its stored)

[rose cedar]

bc mole is broken, anything you mine will not show up

[lean oyster]

dafuq? Its like the 1 ship i paid for with real money lol

[humble stump]

pretty sure it shows at refinery. Just not in your cargo. go test it

oh nvm apparently not

damn

[vivid sorrel]

Mole is bugged, can't extract

https://issue-council.robertsspaceindustries.com/projects/STAR-CITIZEN/issues/STARC-38161

[rose cedar]

i want to buy a mole, but holding off until it is fixed

[vivid sorrel]

It's "fixed" but only in their internal version, not in live

[humble stump]

I like 2 vaux 1 surge.

so 3.17.2?

[vivid sorrel]

likely

[junior edge]

great mobiglass bugged

cant open

[zinc eagle]

What budget mining ship should I get

Thats under 2 million

[humble stump]

transporting 1mil of quant to area 18 ... and just randomly explode while going into the hanger.

I wasn't going fast just boom

[vivid sorrel]

bug, or you hit something on the way in

[oak lake]

There are 3 mining options, the Roc, the Prospector, and the Mole, any of which are good but the mole is best with multiple people, more expensive = better

[humble stump]

if I hit something it shouldn't have blown me up at that speed. I went in pretty slowly.

must have been some bug but I really don't know what.

[vivid sorrel]

Shouldn't in SC is kinda fluid 😛

[humble stump]

it gave me 3rd person camera as I blew up and it didn't appear that I was hitting anything though my landing gear was deleted.

really sucks thuogh to lose 1mil like that 😦

[vivid sorrel]

I feel that for sure

[calm hazel]

is there any chance for a minor bug fix patch before 3.17.2 at the end of the month?

[vivid sorrel]

Hard to say...would lean towards probably not myself.

[calm hazel]

just the mole, the broken terminals, and the elevator to center mass on microtech would be enough for me for now :X

area 18

[humble stump]

They should fix me losing 1mil too >[

[vivid sorrel]

But game looks pretty! /s

[zinc eagle]

Im guessing prospector is best tho

[vivid sorrel]

for solo miners, yes, and mole bugged atm, so 100%.

[calm hazel]

I just listed what feels like super easy bugs to get in a small patch

there are definitly bigger more impactful bugs like broken rocks too

[vivid sorrel]

I personally agree, but CIG doesn't seem to work on same logic.

[calm hazel]

bleh 4631 15.39%.... right on the edge if I want ot harvest or not

[sonic laurel]

Skip

[prime nimbus]

reniary is broken, it does NOT see the freelancer in the refinary bay

[calm hazel]

Now what would make mining 10x more enjoyable for me, is a physical dial that I could turn that would match up absolutely to the mining laser's power

spinning wheel for relative control is just... not great

[marble crater]

I have the mining laser set to my sticks throttle. does make things easier

[calm hazel]

Does that work on absolute?

[marble crater]

it seems to be set to Relative

[vivid sorrel]

There's no freelancer there, but a prospector rented?

Sorry, wrong reply

[prime nimbus]

help

[marble crater]

you appear to have 2 Prospectors

[prime nimbus]

OH FCK

[marble crater]

there is no Freelancer

[calm hazel]

I have three :X

how do you collect dolvine in space?

[prime nimbus]

i thought i was renting a freelancer

[vivid sorrel]

With a multitool and mining laser on it i'd guess?

[calm hazel]

I did not bring one :X

[vivid sorrel]

I've seen some asteroids have gem deposits on them, but i never bother with them because not worth the time. It could be fun to do at times to get some variety at times.
