Hi! Resource extraction at the intersection of 2 or 3 hotspots is the use of game bugs?
Multi hotspots
- Thread starter Serganidzel
- Start date
There are specific rules for how the overlap of hotspots behaves, and it's a relatively minor boost over just having one. Go ahead and use them if you can find them; for some sorts of mining single hotspot + a RES site is likely to be better anyway.
They used to be considerably more powerful when overlapped, which probably also wasn't a bug, but was powerful enough that Frontier eventually rebalanced them; nowadays, no issue at all.

Overlapped hotspots were nerfed into oblivion in the summer of 2020
Now, the only way an overlap is better than a single hotspot is if they're almost perfect overlaps and you mine in an area that is less than 10% distance from any of the hotspot centers.
If the overlaps happen at more than 10% from Hotspot center, don't bother, you'd get similar or even better results by mining at the center of a single hotspot.
Regarding your question... If i understand the question: there is bug-use involved here. No cheating, no exploiting.
Mining a High Res or a Haz Res located near the center of a hotspot in a pristine ring is the most lucrative possible mining endeavour
You need a triple over layer laser mined hotspot items with in 10% distance from centre of the hot spots of each other to equal Haz res laser mining collection rate...
None have been found and people have looked for years... this year in july it was the 3rd year since the rebalance....
As the rebalance was done before 3.8 and 4.0 split it effects all versions of the game the same...

Thanks friends! You convinced me. Since I found a double hotspot, then there is a triple one. Will seek.
Col 359 Sector ND-Y c15-17 5 is New Eldorado who interesting.

Thanks! I'll take a look. Although I plan to do bromellite.
I need to complete statistical calculations using EDDiscovery. Previously, it turns out that this point gives 15% more platinum than the single one I know. I'm trying to assemble a team of enthusiasts who like to search. It's a little boring to be alone.
I hope that Frontier take another look at the overlapping hotspot effects at some point to restore some of the buffs they brought. It was a good way to discover something special out in the black and they made reasonable sense if it were considered that the rings could be derived from Roche limit interactions, where the core or particular part of a single or multiple body could have ended up next to each other, which would yield a potentially 2x+ buff to a given element in that region. I still think the nerf hammer hit too hard on this one.
Well, I'm not doing this for mining - I just found two planets with a single point that have very high characteristics. At the same time, both of them are located near stars of spectral class K7. And I decided to find a third one to understand the pattern. Now I've found this planet and my research is heading in a different direction.
Yea - think about all the effort to map all those rings to find hotspots and overlaps, only to get the nerfbat
Maybe it can be. But the main thing is the search process. You can dig up some platinum at any point.Yea - think about all the effort to map all those rings to find hotspots and overlaps, only to get the nerfbat
but it's so much easier to alter income in one activity than refactor the game's economy to deal with proper supply and demand at a galaxy scale vs the nonsensical system scale type they have now that can only be effective if players had 15ly jump ranges.Yea - think about all the effort to map all those rings to find hotspots and overlaps, only to get the nerfbat
I found a double for low-temperature diamonds in a neighboring system. We'll have to check them, too...
I would hope that when/if Frontier do return to look at the hotspots, the other things you mention will get some consideration too. I don't know if I would want mining to be the feature overhaul at this point compared to some other things, but I wouldn't complain either tbh.
I believe that making platinum the most profitable product was not quite the right decision. Core mining is much more exciting.
It is, though it's somewhat more finicky compared to laser mining if you're just wanting to get what you need. Ultimately, I'd love the asteroids to be fully made with voxels or overlaid with a voxel layer for more interactive laser mining and make all of them explodable. o7
Absolutely hopeless, I think it doesn't work for them.
