Abrasion blaster not working

[Robingoodfellows]

Hey commanders.
I was mining for some Tritium and found a nice rocks with Ltds and brommelite. After cracking them open, my abrasion blaster could not free chunks from the cracked asteroid.
The abrasion blaster works well on normal asteroid surface deposits but not on the cracked ones.

Not a miner (yet) but from what I've seen since the most recent patch on here there's been a bug with that so you won't be the only one, hopefully you'll see it fixed soon

It is a known bug i think mate. Either that or "working as intended"

 

[Robingoodfellows]

Yeah I guessed its the patch that broke it, but its annoying as hell. Just wondered if anyone else had the problem. Not to mention the whole tritium deposits on asteroids are truly diminished. 4 hours of mining on a tritium hotspot and got 145 t. How does frontier suppose I'll fly my carrier without fuel. Now I got a fleet carrier worth a bloody 5 billion credits and can't use it as planned as there isn't tritium anywhere.

The old rule, if it ain't broke dont fix it comes to mind. Couldn't frontier just tweak the price on Ltds like they did with painite?

I found a motherload asteroid with monazite, 200k per unit. Abrasion blaster was useless. I am sad.

I found the Issue Tracker and you have four votes to prioritize important issues.

Yep. Just ran into that. F-ing ANNOYING! It only appeared to fail after blowing the core. The AB worked fine before that. Thanks Sgtstumpy for the Issue Tracker link. My vote is counted.

UPDATE: So the first LTD I cracked I did so AFTER I harvested surface deposits and tried to extract subsurface deposits. Then I tried to extract the surface deposits with the abrasion blaster and nothing dislodged. This time I cracked the LTD core BEFORE extracting anything and the AB worked fine!

CONFIRMATION: Just confirmed my suspicion. If you use the abrasion blaster to dislodge surface deposits BEFORE you crack the core, it causes the AB to fail to dislodge anything after you crack the core.

Should be fixed in the update coming tomorrow. It's in the patch notes.

Not fixed

 

[GraphiteGB]

Fixed the cause is no longer... shooting AB first... the issue was another cause..

It's sad to hear if long standing bug in the "old" version of the game still isn't fixed and surely won't be fixed now!

Over the years, I went mining many times, trying out most of the mining tools in the game, but I found most of them to be either extremely awkward to use or downright broken!

Indeed I could never get the deep core demolition tool to work right, among other tools, so generally stuck with "old fashioned" mining lasers, which have seemingly always worked perfectly and gathered plenty with them...

But indeed, if tools are in a game, especially for a long time, they SHOULD work! ...

Similarly I and many others had and most still have bugs in Cyberpunk 2077 related to the in game phone which can make the entire game or large sections of it unplayable!

For example, in Cyberpunk, I have a phone related bug going back about three years which followed me from the PS4 version of game to the PS5, which for months or years at a time, I can't make or receive calls in game, meaning many quests can't be progressed or completed!...

Anyway, back to this issue, "at least" a bug fixing patch or three for "legacy" would be very welcome, especially if they have fixed such issues in the "live" game! .

Noo i found plenty of Monazite right now

You honestly think they care about us,if they haven't fixed it by now,it ain't getting fixed. Am I wrong ?
