Mining CG

[drkaii]

Hi guys,

Just letting you know there's a mining CG going on right now.

I've said in the past, mining and exploring go hand in hand, especially seeing as mining is now awesome, hence the relevence.

Hey if there was a mining forum I'd post it there.

Anyway, last day is tomorrow. No idea how they expected it to get to tier 10 lol

I've been trying to get FDev to look at the tiers before it ends. It isn't even going to break Tier 1, which means no rewards.

I'm in Top 5% with about 280t Osmium. I've learnt how to mine efficiently so I can get about 1MCr/hr from pristine metallic rings.

Last night I mined 30t of Painite along with various other metals. That was 1MCr for the Painite alone.

Cool man. Last night I made about 2.5 million in an hour because I took about 15 missions before I left and handed them all in when I got back. Only problem is, that run brought in only 1 painite, and the next run brought none in. So I have 3 missions that're going to expire. I handed in some Osmium, took ages to get there from my mining location and found out the ridiculous tier system and wished I hadn't.

Seems not a lot of thought has been put into this one.

Speaking of efficient mining - I've found that getting a large prospecting module isn't worth it as the stupid game destroys the most recent prospector - unless I'm not understanding the mechanic?

Having 4 collectors is REALLY useful though. Collection happens in seconds. Almost too efficient - I can't give them enough to do
