mining

Came up in a discussion with a friend regarding trying to supplement colony building using manual laser mining and the new refinery contacts. Currently manually mining materials for colony building suffers from similar time efficiency issues to trying to manually mine your own fuel. It just...

Did a spot of core mining last night, my first since maybe 6 weeks ago. I eventually spotted that the collectors now fly in a (weird :)) circular pattern beneath the ship when not busy. Must be new with Trailblazers I guess? But the very first thing I noticed was the noise. OMG. They are so...

I'm not much of a miner when it comes to ED but have been doing a fair bit recently while my notoriety is high (had to murder Sirius Corp employees to unlock Uma Laszlo). Anyway, once the asteroid is broken the surface deposits won't dislodge from the fragments when using the abrasion blaster...

Basically the title , it is extremely frustrating and downright insulting to have POWERPLAY 2.0 at the state it is right now. I will just summarize my experience so far as a returning player to elite after 4 years. I am sorry if it sounds extremely negative or disjointed. But it has to be said...

SLF loadouts for mining would be a fantastic addition, particularly for larger mining ships like the Anaconda or Type-9. While it would be fantastic if NPCs could make use of them, just having the loadouts themselves would be fantastic. Potential loadout ideas: Abrasion blaster, mining laser &...

Once upon a time there were a subsurface mining patch, where deposits spits chunks like crazy... It was hilarious, people who newer went to mine rushed to see the wonder. The bad thing with that it led to hard nerf because this mechanics tied to void opal and VO price was high in hell (maybe...

Good afternoon! This is my first time posting here. I've played Elite Dangerous for around 5 years and in that time I've mostly enjoyed it. I have a few suggestions for mining, I was unable to find anything on them in the search.. Mining platform(s) which players can leave to mine...

Right now to gain merits doing mining you have to sell at the system you mine at and it also has to be your powers system. Because of this right now in LYR there effectively is only ONE system to mine platinium at. If the demand on this system goes down and the price drops there literally isnt...

Dear Elite Dangerous developers, I love the game, but I have been waiting for new ideas for a long time. Here are some suggestions that would be great for the game: 1st Stage: All planets outside the human bubble could have minerals that players can mine on foot using a drill. 2nd Stage: The...

So I returned in Elite after a really big amount of time. I want to grind some money with mining but I'm not sure what to choose. What is more profitable?

Please for the love of god please fix the 95% rate of false positives while using the pulse wave scanner, I swear about 95% of what LOOKS like a bright glowing asteroid is nothing but junk and is 100% NOT a node that can be cracked open to harvest. I have now wasted over 100 limpets on nodes...

The icing on the cockpit appear to be bugged, it's purplish and that might indicate a missing albedo texture (icing.jpg). The problem was noticed just on "ASP Explorer" ship and it's consistent, can't fix it by anything like: Switching ships jumping in-out of asteroit field relogging Haven't...

Just noticed this on Steam, Starminer, ship building, combat and etc, may interest some people here; https://store.steampowered.com/app/1116050/Starminer/

Went out to go core mining, with two seismic launchers, two abrasion blasters, and a mining laser. Got scanned by a rat. Then I noticed some ships firing at it. For grins, I practiced fixed-weapons targeting on it with my mining laser. And, scored a 430,000 cr bounty reward :D

Hi all, I recently purchased a carrier, and want to know if I can "call" the carrier to my current system. What I mean is I'm mining, and I'd like to be able to call the carrier to me. It seems reasonable, so I hope it's somewhere counter intuitive, and I just have found out where. Thanks

I'm looking for some advice to get me started doing a bit of mining in Colonia. What type of mining, what ship, and where? I play ED sporadically - I've recently completed a trip to Colonia. I'll probably head on to Sag A after a bit, but want to break up the journey for now. I've never done...

o7, fellow CMDRs, as stated above, I am aware that there are posts about mining in this forum, but my search for it got a bit overwhelming for me. I am new to Elite and just a few hours in. I play Horizons on an asthmatic laptop with an XBox 360 game pad. As of now, I play solo, as my combat...

Hi, I just started to play again after a very long break. I’ve never really mined in the past since I was just exploring in the bubble and doing some random missions. However, the grind was boring and I left. Now I’m back I do my know for how long, but I just took a mining mission with my...

My concept is a ship suitable for long-distance travel, that can mine out in the black. My ideas for this ship are mining tritium to help rescue carriers, visiting and working at the Azura Initiative, and possibly future CGs. Should I go for a modified explorer with a AspX or Phantom? Go...

I thought that by logging in and playing the game I would earn a small amount of arx, but in 2 weeks of mining with over 1000 limpets spent I haven't gotten more than a couple, and that was for the few jumps I did going between mining spots. Is this an oversight? Miners deserve arx too ✌️

I'm not a regular sub-surface miner but decided to do some out in unpopulated space around 3.5 kly from Sol. I've been using a ring with a single tritium hotspot and on the most recent visit I dropped fairly close to the centre (less than 10% of the hotspot diameter away, or around 600 km). I've...

Why are these two modules not combined ? Are there people who use THIS separately ? This will be a new module for mining without removing the old modules. Like a docking computer and improved docking computer. If someone doesn't like it, no one is forcing them to use it. Just like the...

I don't know why they didn't fix the collection limpet mechanism. They are stupid AF. If a chunk is "inside" an asteroide they will all go for it, one after another, granting us with the nice "collection failed". Just make the ressource chunk able to interact physically with asteroid instead of...

Hello! I’m back again. I’ve got a fresh new profile, with updated info and all that jazz. I didn’t expect anyone to see my recent posts, so I figured I’d say hi rather than posting my links and letting my account stay a husk. Today’s article is something I’m actually pretty unfamiliar with -...

Is it just me or have the hot spots recently been not so hot. Meaning that there are deep core asteroids but not necessarily matching the hotspot mineral. Lately I have been getting a lot of minerals other than what the hotpot is for. Most recently in a Musgravite hotspot with the...

Is this all real … ugh? Source: https://youtu.be/vIcAxmcWALY oh well add your suggestions to make this all better. \o/ Flimley

I can live with the new way that the surface scanner works and doesn't provide specific locations for surface mineral mining. However, I think to offset this our ships should come with the ability to detect mining objects on the ground so we can cover area more quickly, landing only to hop into...

Noob question. just started mining and starting to getting the hang of it, on the surface as well in flight. As for the last, when i’m mining an asteroid sometimes materials show up on the surface of the asteroid (i.e. nickel, chromium, iron, etc.) My question, how do i collect them? Collector...

That would be awesome if we'll able to depart from a ship in a space suit, land on an asteroid with a powerful charge, place it in a specific weak spot, then run away fast to the ship and watch how it's exploded (should be more awesome than the seismic charges). It can be either the same core...

Can we have some dedicated stations out there, in the bubble and in Colonia, that are always stocked with Tritium for sale, even if you up the price, double the galactic average, even triple? I recently headed back to populated space after an excursion into the black with my carrier, Tritium...

So, my refinery (I think 3A, maybe 4? - it has 7 slots) works very slowly at times. The ore is at 100% and it just won't refine, sometimes for a pretty long time, while my drones bore themselves to death - literally. Also, When I liberate an extra slot for an ore I'm mining at high speed...

Just started mining stuff this past week and a bit. Wondering what the numbers should officially be, for each type hotspot and material type. And hotspot with resource extraction area and different lvl values. Edit:Found this, not exactly what I was looking for but someone may find it useful.

Do multiple ships in the same instance who are not in a wing generate fragments from the same asteroid from independent pools or from a collective pool? e.g: One miner laser mines an asteroid and generates 25 fragments. Two miners wing up and both laser the same asteroid: each miner generates...
