There are quite a few groups that have some success keeping their PoBs full of ores, but with a greater percentage of traders vs mining operation participants out there, the busiest stations often run dry pretty quickly. Gold/Alum alone keeps local corps scrambling to supply weekly.
The only suggestion I have is for those trading Barge owners to realize the issue they cause for mining bases and volunteer to supply them!
If your favorite base is owned by specific factions - join their Discord, offer to help!
It often only takes 1 or 2 people starting an op to get more to join and make it a good base fill!
Keep it fun! Those ops can be tedious otherwise!
Jump in a voice channel! Play some tunes!
Deck your mining transport out with crazy lights as a conversation starter!
Question the integrity and life choices of any FABulous pirates that show up to plunder your cargo!
Make friends with informative passers by who either want ore too or just to provide helpful propaganda before asking for donations!
If you give players a fun experience with such a mundane task, you can bet they'll watch for future fills to join...
