More is caught than taught but you will want to look up Red Monster SC on youtube for excellent guides. You will also want to learn about Radar Ping active angle control as well as the bands of Aaron's Halo. Lyria is a good spot also but I think the cat's meow is found in the Halo.
As you mine in the halo, the quick calculator I use for value of a Quan asteroid is:
10% = 80K aUEC value
20% = 160K aUEC Value
30% = 260K aUEC value of more

north oyster
You can't collect if it is orange
You ONLY use surge on the first crack, and understand if you apply surge late in the process you will probably blow yourself up into space debris.
Crack everything down first (that has Quan) before you start scooping. Your timer starts as soon as you collect the first amount of Quantainium. Roughly 15 minutes. If you land really rough, that can also trigger an explosion.
mint elbow
does anyone have a writen guide or explanation on pinging for roc mining
north oyster
You don't really need to do active angle ping, just set it for 179 or 90. The TRICK is knowing what you are looking for in small deposits
The large deposits appear way out up to 15k or so. But they will vanish near 2200 meters as you close in. however the small gem deposits only show up when you are at 2000ish meters and do not vanish as you approach them.
mint elbow
so just fly at stuff aand if it stays under 2k meters its probably what im looking for?
instability and % of what i am looking for dosent matter in roc mining either right?
north oyster
Correct, all that stuff means nothing at this time for gem mining. And over 90% of the time any ping returns that are in the "sweet zone" of 2000 meters to 1000 meters is probably gems. If the Scan doesn't work, then an instability of 1.01 to 1.99 is hadanite. Above is dolivine trash or below is the other gem (halfway worth harvesting).
Also if scan doesn't work, you can zoom in and look at the deposit. Hadanite has a pinkish/purplish(?) vein on the rock

not really, you can have a ton of orders refining as long as you are willing to wait a day or 2 to get your pay and it takes virtually the same amount of time to set up the work order vs selling raw
north oyster
ohhh didnt realize you can have multiple refiniery orders going at once
Yes, there is no limit as to the number of refinery jobs you can have stacked. Or how long before you pickup and sell.
However a new patch will wipe all refinery jobs and reset all ships.
I once had 30 refinery jobs to deliver to TDD. A few days ago I had 16 before I sold that to market

The cheapest per SCU cargo ship for now is the Freelancer MAX at 2.2M aUEC for 120 SCU of cargo space. Not as pretty as the MSR but with MSR's 5M aUEC price for only 114 SCU, the MAX is a better business decision. Then after letting the MAX carry all the refinery jobs to the TDD, you can buy the MSR with no problems. Just an idea
north oyster

you can use multiple modules though to offset that
things like optimax + boremax or boremax + waveshift

scanning mode gives more info the closer you are to an object, so at a distance you'll see mass but less than 300M you'll get all the graphic details

dapper mesa
on the boremax when it says optimal charge rate -50% what does that mean exactly
That means the green will fill half as fast. So you don't want to use it if you're relying on a lancet/ surge/ stampede build, as it will be much harder to finish the green out.

You can only haul same as you deposited it to refine
Like 32 mixed scu - get 30 refined. Have 15 scu empty - get nothing, 30scu or none.
cinder solstice
You can only haul same as you deposited it to refine
So what if I have 2 work orders with 10 and 15 titanium for instance? Can I haul 15 titanium then? If I understand you correctly your work order is grouped together in the same "crate" and when you haul it to sell you can only take the whole crate?
And I can't rent the constellation. I started like 2 days ago and only yesterday did I manage to do something profitable. I think I have about 15k. I went to bed in my prospector hoping it would be there when I woke up, but loading screen hangs so that probably means I'll be back at base with no ship except starter and 15k. Sigh
Yey! Loading screen unhung itself and prospector still there!
topaz burrow
cutty black can fit 46 SCU. Dont overthink it. You can't split work orders so you need to be able to fit entire order in one go. so if you have 3 orders of 15SCU each that's 45SCU and cutty will fit it. but if you have 30 in one and 30 in other you need to do two runs

Like Capsel mentioned, trade isn't in a good place. Trade does work but it favors only the largest carriers (C2, CAT, etc).
About this time next year it will be a different story.
The days off making 80k per trip in the MAX is over until then
But trade is there, you just have to research it out. Jack Axton's video on trade refresher course is a good start. About 6 months old but still valid
The MAX is great for the illegal monitoring mission

Yep, Aberdeen and daymar are really good for hadanite mining, sells for 275/unit. Aberdeen though you need a Pembroke armour and Pembroke or heavy helmet because its hot AF (hur L1 station, refinery deck shop)

3.17.2 was suppose to be out by end of month and it will be fixed then, however it was released to the NDA group (called Evocati) and it going through patches to resolve other issues. I'm think it won't make the drop before end of month but rather sometimes around July 7th. This is purely my speculation

try Astitine out of Woodruff in Ida or Titanium & Laranite from Bezdek on Arial
Trade currently only favors the largest of ships (C2, CAT, etc). You use to be able to make 80K or more with the MAX but that was over two years ago during the heydays of Trade runners back when Laranite was king.

you can do it with undersuit if you take breaks every 4-5min. but Pembroke is the ideal for high temp

out of the heat. into your ship or enclosed space

Band 4 works pretty good. I think the bands are mirrored from in to out (i.e. 1=8, 2=7, etc)

I avoid 5 because too dense and more duds, but that's just me
I have had fantastic luck at killing my jump right at 12M Km (stopping normally around 11,865,000 KM)
CRU-L1 to ARC-L3
I normally set my QT marker back to CRU-L1, run uncoupled at about 180km (right on the red/white line) and begin to scan for targets of opportunity as I drift. From almost 12K you can determine duds and other types of asteroids. When I hit a Quan, I close in until I get about 8Kish. From there you can normally get the Instability. If it is high (above 5 or so) then it is promising. Get use to looking at that so eventually you will know if the Quan is worth scanning.

Bunker missions for sure if you use a 2 SCU crate and sell items you can't buy to other players. Surface mining is probably more reliable though
Once you get to the 90k bunker missions then that for sure
royal flower
Okay thank it’s been a little since I’ve been on so I’m basically trying to re figure out the game

Even 60k bunkers at tier 2 would be more profitable. Can run one in about 8 minutes. Knock 2 out before you even get the roc in your ship to start mining

rugged axle
Do them
royal flower
Okay are they under mercenary?

royal flower
Okay do you have to do a lot before you tier up for them?

Should start with a contract. Then "assist in defending site" which are 15k bunkers.
Then "defend against threat", which are 60k
Tier 0 to 1 is like 5. Tier 1 to 2 is 10(15 total). I think 20 for tier 2 to 3
royal flower
Okay thank you so if I grind out for like 2 hours I can be at tier 3

what percentage of each mineral should I mine? For instance if I found a rock wi...
You want at least 15% or more. My rule of thumb is
10% = 80K aUEC
20% = 160K aUEC
30% = 250K aUEC

double check at the ASOP terminal to make sure its at the same station
and not back at whatever your home planet is
which freighter did you grab?

The Black Cutlass
Also please don't shorten the words, I have no clue what the "ASOP" terminal is.
scarlet rover
to be fair neither do I. It's the yellow kiosk you use to retrieve ships
by the hangar elevators
pliant spruce
Nevermind, It is not stored here.
scarlet rover
you can request it transferred
by default, most ships and items you rent or pledge will be sent to your home planet
pliant spruce
Ah okay.
scarlet rover
once the Cutty arrives at that station, you can transfer the load from the refinery to it

So I got 14 minutes until my quant reaches critical, what does that mean?
scarlet rover
it will explode if you don't store it at a station by then

Alright I'm probably going to spend all day ROC mining hadanite to afford a prospector
scarlet rover
Oh I should go then
Next time, look for a cluster of Q. Break each rock down first, THEN start extracting only once you've gotten them down to purple. Starting with the highest %

We can use our combined knowledge in order to form an average miner.

Want to mine that volatile mineral together?
I just finished it, it was only a bit of quant, sorry. after I store this if you still want to sure

Once the next patch is released, the multi-crew miner will be working again

Mass ~0.8 are minable by the ROC
anything larger than that cannot be mined by the ROC

if you enjoy mining then the Prospector is great
watch some videos on mining & see if it's something you'd like to do
vale oracle
alright thx
north oyster
is it worth to upgrade the ROC?
Yes, upgrading the components to the next class up appears to really help with resilience of the ROC. If you don't upgrade, be sure to swap out the ROC every two or three mining trips before the components fail.
Also, upgrades are pretty cheap for the ROC and they can be found at Omega at the Commons in New Babbage.

is the prospector worth it?
The Prospector is the Goose that lays the Golden Eggs in this game. It prints money
In two evenings, I made 16 runs (grant it, I'm not a greenie using it) and made over 3.5M aUEC
You can figure every time you go out in a Prospector you are making from 230K to 275K aUEC per trip

mining in space or in planets?
because ik a decent bit of roc mining but not much from the prospector

Both

They are very similar unless you use modules.
One bit that is different is the extraction though.
You extract from the smaller rocks instead of having them fly onto the ground.
Also replace the mining head with the lancet.

Would anyone be down to show me the ropes to mining? im new and confused lol

how does one spot mineable minerals for ROC in lyria? Are all <3km signals minerals and then just need to be scanned from close up?

you want quant yes?
topaz burrow
you want quant yes?
No. Minerals for ROC mining. For Quant i've got prospector and mole
meager wharf
which minerals do you want to mine?
topaz burrow
Hadanite, others are not worth it
meager wharf
lyria is not a good choice for that
topaz burrow
yes you are right. My bad I meant Aberdeen :c
meager wharf
daymar aberdeen
topaz burrow
spent too much time in lyria lol
meager wharf
yeah, i used to mine with a roc but i realise that roc is more unstable than the quant XD
topaz burrow
haha yeah i get that lol
I wanted to get two ROCs and go for some adventures with my mate. Just with the new angle scanning, I get all that for Quant. Just wanted to ask for easy mineral spotting
meager wharf
if you are scanning try changing the fov and see if you have found a patch or a single rock
topaz burrow
ok i looked it up. rocks that pop between 3/4km are minerals and over are ores. case closed
compact hemlock
can i please have some help with scanning rocks
no matter how close i get or how long i hold the scan
i can NEVER get RS information
what do i havr to press??
wary maple
you needto press V to go into scan mode
topaz burrow
M to get mining laser oot and point at rock at around 500m
wary maple
are you in a ROC or a ship when trying to scan?
compact hemlock
im in a ship
i saw on youtube videos people get an "RS" signature from ages away
and i cant get that to happen
topaz burrow
you need to be in mining mode not scanning mode
unless you are using different technique then I dont know.
compact hemlock
is it okay to link a video here?
wary maple
are those the vids where they narrow the angle to get the longer range?
compact hemlock
youtube link

at around 3:30 ish he scans it from miles away and gets "RS" signature
topaz burrow

i mine 99% of times in AAron halo. with new angle scanning you can see what rock it is from 12km away. made me nearly a multi millionaire. This vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLOx_bfg_eM
compact hemlock

this shows u the type so quant is q type for example
but u will still have to get closer to see if it is actually quant??
and so basically u dont use "V" anymore?
topaz burrow
yes you do. But i noticed the small details like instability will come up at around 4km and anything with 7.0 and over in instability is a good rock worth coming in closer to otherwise just fly by
No need for V anymore
topaz burrow
it worked for me thus far
but i encourage you to observe those stats and make your own assumptions
compact hemlock
okay
compact hemlock
thanks very much
is 15% quant worth mining?
someone told me dont go below 30? is that right?
topaz burrow
yeah 30% is really the minimum
if you look at that table if rock has a mass of 5000 it needs to be 32% minimum to fully fill your prospector.
zenith crag
Store it, unequip it and equip it again. Bugs out sometimes
compact hemlock
ffs
zenith crag
yeah 30% is really the minimum
Whats the math behind it? Isnt it mass x % and that divided by 50?
compact hemlock
how do i stop the asteroid from damaging my ship when they crack open?
topaz burrow
Im not sure about the math, I just use that table lol
zenith crag
Nevermind it is that. I just figured it out
topaz burrow
how do i stop the asteroid from damaging my ship when they crack open?
Don't let it go to red even for one bit. If you do hit reverse and wait for the rock to cool down

btw is the mole completely broken or is there a workaround

Borked to death atm

this would be easy if it actually let me buy the modules i want
topaz burrow
:) I don't use any modules for Aaron, just Lancet. All rocks in Aaron are at max of 5122 mass which you can crack without mods
compact hemlock
<@244941346123546625> do you use the lancet mining head
i have this i want stampede
zenith crag
if you have issue with the green zone get brandt module
and honestly, go blow up the prospector, claim it so it is at a factory setting and equip the modules again
compact hemlock
when i buy modules from a shop and they go to my local inventory
do i have to go back there
to get them??
or is there anyway i can access them from elsewhere
topaz burrow
Should be easier when they fix the terminals
humble stump
Incase you needed to know what rock is worth mining
Don't need a chart it's pretty simple math. divide the % by the difference of 5000 and that's the scu.
ie 5000/50*0.32 = 32 scu. 4612/50*0.34=31.3616 scu. 8000/50*0.47 = 75.2 scu.
can eyeball it easily knowing 1% of 5000 is 1 scu.
compact hemlock
hi
when i crack open quantanium
do i only wanna grab the stuff that is 100% quantanium?
or do i grab everything??
topaz burrow
grab quant first
compact hemlock
but i do get everything?
topaz burrow
you can only refine one thing and rest is discarded, so if you pick up quant and quartz, when you refine quant it will discard quartz
vivid sorrel
The goal is to fill up 100% of Quant, but depending on the crack and % Quant you might not get that
compact hemlock
cos some of these booulders are like 100% inert materials
vivid sorrel
100% inert cracks are the best! Beacuse that often mean a good crack 😄 (AKA other will be pure(er) Quant)
vivid sorrel
you can only refine one thing and rest is discarded, so if you pick up quant and...
You can refine multiple things in the refinery from the same load, but, the extra cost and time for low value materials make it often not worth it. And you have to ship the load too. So unless it's like borase or similar i just don't
compact hemlock
how can i check when my quant gonna go bang bang
vivid sorrel
And later yellow warning sign and alarm, and then red and alarm
compact hemlock
okay cool thanks
compact hemlock
so if my ship doesnt die
do i keep the brandt and surge moules
modules
or do i have to keep replacing them??
vivid sorrel
Until the charges are spent (5 charges)
compact hemlock
i see
vivid sorrel
Then they kinda explode off your ship, literally
compact hemlock
and rest stations fixed when??

u cant buy modules from the refine stations atm
topaz burrow
terminals will be fixed with patch. End of june
compact hemlock
i literally
am gonna ubinstall this game
i landed
tried to get elevator
get stuck
and cant dock it
vivid sorrel
can't dock?
You need to better explain
If your ship is landed, and you've encountered a bug, you should be able to return to menu and ship should be automatically stored. Unless that bugs out too.
There are lots of bugs in this game, and if you have low tolerance for it, this might not be the game for you.
compact hemlock
i landed it on a landing pad
and when i pressed the elevator button i got stuck inside the walls of CRU
so i couldnt go inside to store it
vivid sorrel
ESC- Return to menu, login again, when you come back, check terminal, too see if ship is stored
If so, just go to refinery as normal
topaz burrow
^^ if it's landed it should store when you exit to main menu
compact hemlock
but will the cargo still b there
vivid sorrel
If it's stored, yes.
compact hemlock
thats the thing it isnt
vivid sorrel
If you need to claim it, no.
compact hemlock
its landed, not stored
vivid sorrel
Have you checked the terminal?
compact hemlock
so i would need to press "store" on the console
vivid sorrel
Please re-read what we said
compact hemlock
Have you checked the terminal?
before i couldnt check the terminal - i was stuck in space
topaz burrow
bruh the time is ticking get that ship stored
cause only wheels will stay on landing pad
compact hemlock
exactly its why i just held backspace
which refining method gives the most profit/money
idc about cost or time
topaz burrow
dynix, will take about 40hrs for 32scu Quant
compact hemlock
okay, thanks v much
have they patched the thing where if u spam left click u make multiple orders??
