Automated Mining Made Easy - Unlocking Ice & Asteroid Drills | Reforged Eden 1.8 | Empyrion Galactic

In this video I spend some time walking you through all the steps needed to both unlock the schematics for the Automated Ice & Asteroid Drills, and show you how to purchase them without unlocking the quest. Overall, this is a very easy task, although a little time consuming. This video will clear up any questions you have & get you mining very soon!
Enjoy!

Really useful, thank you for taking the time to make the video.

[@mov4do]

You are very welcome!

[@levelcapgames8524]

Thanks for this video. Love it! New sub here!

[@gonewildwithlovehjq]

very nice, thank you for the video my friend

[@michaelyang3088]

非常詳細的解說 , Very good. Thank you very much.

[@samsquatch7285]

It's like ur a mind reader. I was just thinking about adding these to my mining ship!

[@mov4do]

Sam I am

[@samsquatch7285]

Also., for the scrap yards, always turn your turrets Off and let the scrap yard kill the attackers. You can accidentally hot the POI if your turrets are shooting at them and then youre instantly unfriendly with the colonists... Ive had it happen to me and at least two other ppl I've played with.

[@mov4do]

@@samsquatch7285 Great tip!

[@TheGirDraxon]

Nice video overall. I thought it would be about using the turrets since setting them up is a bit goofy but its good material for a second video.

[@mov4do]

Thanks! And yes, I actually have that on my list for an upcoming video! But I do appreciate the suggestion!

[@roberthungerford9019]

I would like to see a video of you building the turrets and using each type, the other newer video skips this part

Very helpful!

[@da_blade5040]

Awesome, I knew there was a quest to unlock them but was unsure exactly the steps to do it!! Can you get those big auto miners for planets? and do they mine more ore? That would be worth if it's better then the standard auto miners! 👍😀💯

[@mov4do]

Thank you & yes you can get those big miners for the planet. There is a drawback though. They mine at a slower rate than an advanced auto miner, and requires the industrial fuel. The upside is one fuel fill lasts many days, so you’re not having to keep coming back.

[@da_blade5040]

@@mov4do so it is worth...very interesting! I'll have to look move in-depth into this!! Thx!! 👍💯😀

[@nemesismaj]

thank you

[@ffforazon]

Thanks you may want to bring an extra 3 million with you if you want to buy the blueprint for the industrial autominers but the advanced are the most efficient.

[@Ultravis66]

There is another way to get the rich asteroid mining drills, I remember unlocking the automated rich asteroid miner and excavator but never actually did this quest. Maybe lucky random drop...

[@mov4do]

Yeah they can drop from Ultra Rare loot boxes. I believe they have a low drop rate, so up to you. You can roll the dice & hope to get it quickly from drops, or do the quest to guarantee it.

[@fightingfortruth9806]

Eleon needs to improve their mining. #1 - There should be Auto Miners that work on asteroids. #2 - There should be an easier way to transport said materials across the galaxy. The current system discourages exploration because you're constantly having to run back to pick up resources.

[@mov4do]

Yeah, to a certain extent this is true. You can place a small teleport base at an auto miner deposit that has a container controller and store the resources in that, which will allow you to significantly reduce your ship trips to that miner. But yeah, you are still stuck to come back to that location. The other way to look at it, is to place a few miners on pentaxid, then warping across the galaxy & back is no big deal. It doesn’t take long for the miners to quickly outpace your galactic travels, and you’ll be sitting on 10’s of thousands of refined pentaxid in no time.

[@ClarksonNo1]

Surely it encourages exploration because instead of going back you have to find those matierials out there.

[@livinglifeinanrv5473]

how does one get the silver powder needed to build the (non ice) auto drills? I have the ice drillls but not sure how to get the silver powder?

[@mov4do]

The PDA will tell you where it can be found.

[@ilya1o]

Stupid question... Why I should I bother with these new fancy asteroid mining+? Does it give any unique resources? Or... does it give lots of resources in some very convenient way?

[@mov4do]

It’s not a stupid question at all. Yeah, there are benefits to mining them, and each resource yields different benefits. Some of them yield the rarest resources! I do plan another video for that though. Hopefully soon!

[@ffforazon]

It's the best way to get some materials that are very rare and yields lots of promethium also. You can get magnatite from some dense asteroids too.

[@jaffamanchang]

😀

[@thesirboo112]

How do I complete the quantum core quest?

[@mov4do]

I’ve never done that quest, so I’m not sure. Sorry.

[@mugennam1]

does the scrapyard sell rich drills?

[@mov4do]

If you're asking about the Rich Asteroid Turrets, no. They only sell Ice.

[@zipmangaming657]

some of us do not have the super warp drive engines to get to the Forge. Is there a good route to take to get out that far?

[@mov4do]

All galaxies are randomly generated. You have to map your own route. And you don’t need a special warp drive. Any will do.

[@TheGirDraxon]

Navigational data should not be sold. It should be turned in for warp distance improvements. Far better ways to make money.

[@mov4do]

Yeah, I agree. I don’t think I suggested selling it? I only mentioned you can get them from free as drops, from that one guy.

[@TheGirDraxon]

@@mov4do True, you only mentioned they were worth a lot of money which implied that was their primary value. I probably assumed too much.
