Development Notice: Mining Update

Uncut Diamonds

[+]Uncut Diamonds - Omega-11

MAIN - Bretonia - New London - Waterloo Station - $8337
ALT - Gallia - Lyonnais - Roanne Production Facility - $13132

Main route is only 4 systems? how come? maybe you should change this to Liberty or Kusari.

Short ore routes are a general issue because they make cooperative flying unattractive and it benefits those most that just quickly want to get the fill, run there, get back fast in a credits / second race. In contrast, long ore routes are a lot more dangerous and they therefore make running together (and wasting some time in the progress) a lot more feasible. They enable players to engage in dialogues on the way and are better for gameplay in pretty much all aspects.

Therefore I am very much in favour of lengthening the really short ore routes.

Beryllium/Niobium from Tau 23 to New Paris is another one that could be +1 or even +2 system longer to make it more fun and in general more attractive (+ it would lengthen flying time in Gallia, which is also a good aspect).

15 minute(main) / 25 min (alt)from the field to selling point

niobium ore 10 min(main) to selling point(18min alternative)

How could you say its a short route ????

Question, but since it isn't listed I assume you havn't looked at / changed regular Helium at all? I ask because from what I've seen with the mining rates and the in system sellpoint of roughly 950 per unit, I think it may actually be one of the highest profit per second routes in the game. This is especially true considering the small system it's located in and the nearly absolute safey (from the field a stationary battleship is only 10k away).

I'll take a look at normal Helium soon.

OP updated, by the way.
Once @"King Boo" puts them on the server, this should be in effect.

Be patient for at least one more day (for the server to restart again) before you ask about wrong prices on the server side of things.

Thank you for fixing Cobalt mining in O3.
Also a good call to add a 3rd lawful selling point back again. Should "unscrew" quite a lot of factions.

Looking forward to the Iridium mining especially in the near future. This could be a lot of fun.

Awesome !

That is the crux of the matter.
If you aid us, and you aid them, you are the enemy.
If you do not aid them, you are worthless outside of extortion potential.
If you aid us, you will be treated with respect.

DHC faction would like to thank you, @"LordVipex" , for continuing efforts in the field of fixing and improving disco mining system. Please don't pay attention to the haters, qqers and naysayers who seem to populate this thread. It is an obvious and expected thing when you nerf overpowered mining systems and/or factions, some groups will dislike the fact you're taking away their (undeserved) toys.


Keep up the good work!

hey @"LordVipex" , can you please tell me the new drop rates in gold ore field for BMM, IMG and Mollys? also, there is no much rocks in the field as before, is the field got nerfed as well? Thanks.

[Jazzi]

Just a thought.... perhaps it's due to the poor trade routes and drop rate for Flourine that Planetform employs Welsh Slave labour?

Was just reviewing all routes and prices. As far as I can tell there are only three price irregularities at the moment.

- Aluminum Ore, Narita (~740 rather than 640). You know about this one, just a reminder.
- Platinum Ore, Kyoto (~500 rather than 445). Likely doesn't account for recent system changes. Other Platinum routes from Nagano also appear to be affected although the differences are minimal compared to Kyoto.
- Silver Ore, Canterbury (~819 rather than 640). Possibly incorrectly sourcing from Humboldt rather than O-7? That would match the numbers.
Edit: And something I missed earlier: Colorado (~734 rather than 640) is also incorrectly sourcing Silver Ore, this time from O-7 instead of Humboldt. Again, the price checks out for O-7.
