Hey bud, love your content (and your South African accent). Keep it up! I did want to mention that it sounds like you may be clicking the mouse to deactivate the laser beam after cracking and extracting the rocks. You don't actually have to do that since the game automatically does it for you. I noticed once in this video that you actually inadvertently turned your extraction laser back on after the game turned it off for you as a result of your unnecessary click. Just figured I'd mention it since it seems maybe you are not aware that the game does turn it off for you automagically.

You’re the only KZbinr on the planet that doesn’t do 5 minute introductions telling us your life story and reading a 30 minute add read and then begging for likes and subscribes. Thank you for this content dude. It’s awesome.

[@TheCoreGameplay]

I'm happy you enjoy the content, I'm a bit paranoid sometimes that people won't stick around so I try to get going as fast as possible and cut the boring things out

[@garywilburn7384]

And I 100% appreciate that shit

[@unit335]

Not sure how I haven't come across your videos before, but this content is so good you have just won another subscriber! Thank you for the clear, direct information.

[@billypog]

Keep pumping the content dude.

[@CaptElfimis]

Finally a sensible mining guide for newer players to get going that doesn't have a 45mintue life story with only 5 minutes of mining. Thank you so much for this, the clarity and delivery of necessary info is a 10/10.

[@TheCoreGameplay]

I’m glad you liked it :) maybe I'll tell my story some other time 🤣

[@uther10]

Now this is great freaking content. Straight to the point and full of great information.

[@telum9861]

First mining video I've watched. Very well done and easy to follow. Putting the keys on the screen for the various functions is quite helpful. Thank you!

[@hebraist]

This was EXACTLY what I needed to know! I am recording Ep. 4 of Zero to Hero on my channel and it's so difficult! Thanks for leading the way. I'm going to do this tonight.

[@jenn280]

bookmarking for tomorrow. thank you for posting!!

[@ronniejamesdio6350]

i rented the ship for astroid mining, i even rented the cargo ship. i had 8 transactions in the refinery. they were finished after a day and i died suddenly while unloading them on the ship where i went to sell them. of course the goods on the ship and in the elevator were trashed. all those hours of labor were wasted.

[@3go3versor]

Yup sounds like star citizen.

[@BishopHeahmund]

I feel your pain. I’ve realized recently that this is a game better suited for just dicking around with friends than trying to seriously play and progress. it’s too janky and frustrating. I tried to sell a bunch of drugs and scrap last night and not a single freight elevator was working

[@ronniejamesdio6350]

@BishopHeahmund my refund has been approved. I'll check back in five years, maybe.

[@travissgrey]

Another awesome one, perfect timing, i’m just about to rent a Prospector.

[@klostrogames]

1. U can find a station with the starmap searchbar 2. U dont have to haul ur ore cuz u can sell it directly in tdd. just choose ur hangar in the desk.

[@SwedishLatino]

Multiply what you get for it raw with 2, and that's what you get when refined mate!

[@mephisto8101]

Excellent guide, thank you. Quick question: How much money can you make on average with a Prospector in 3.24.3? How much money can you make on average with a Vulture in 3.24.3? How much money can you make on average with a ROC in 3.24.3? All the numbers I have with a ROC and a Vulture are from 2023, and I get the sense that earnings did go down quite a lot.

[@cavok_o7]

I love this video. I will try mining with your knowledge 😊 thanks

[@CecilIsANerd]

Been banging my head trying to figure out why I cant sell ore I refined at NB.. That's my home location & I had no clue I couldn't sell there.. Thank you for mentioning that in your video. Kind of an important thing to know if you ask me. I can imagine a crap load of people are homing at NB for IAE and there is a mining badge you could earn for a reward. I imagine a great deal of them are mining, refining and trying to sell there near NB - and getting frustrated in the process. Luckily I didn't actually have to sell for the badge but still I wasted a lot of time and effort on trying to.. O.o

[@ytth439]

New player thanks so much for the guide. I did buy the Sabir but you dont use it in the video. I could not figure out what I was supposed to do with it.

[@RaymondMinnaar]

awesome vid, so glad i'm seeing a lot more South African's playing this game

[@bastiandoen2583]

I like the voice and accent, it makes it really easy to understand for me :)

[@turbo111777]

Can you do a 3.24.2 controls guide? Everything useful for PU? I feel like a lot of stuff I see is combat oriented or leaves a lot of controls out of the picture

[@JCKER48]

Great guide

[@LordCritish]

CiG updating game with new features ... completely breaking another, completely unrelated game loop. This is CiGs trademark.

[@PaulMEdwards]

Regressions happen... Turns out making games (and software in general) is hard. I'm a Senior Software QA Engineer specializing in Test Automation with almost 30 years experience. I've seen a LOT of regressions. Test Automation can help catch them. CIG announced they were working on automating their tests, but I haven't heard anything about that effort in a couple years. Maybe it didn't pan out?

[@MasteryGuns]

@@PaulMEdwardspeople have no idea that there is thousands lines of code behind this.. shit can break it’s just sad they constantly blame the devs for it.. or am I thinking to simple?

[@CrunchyJoints]

How many other games have developers that dont break dozens or hundreds of unrelated mechanics every time they add content or push a patch? I have never played another game with such bad version control, not even remotely close, and I LIVE in early access, alpha and beta games. I love this game in particular but I'm tired of making excuses for their mistakes and decisions. ​@MasteryGuns

[@MasteryGuns]

@@CrunchyJoints yeah makes sense I just noticed that all they want is to push more and more things to the game like ships, pyro.. but they forget how buggy the base game already is.. I know what you mean

[@LordCritish]

@@MasteryGuns No shit doesn't break when established rules are followed. I work in software development since the early 2000s. For me it looks like at CiG they either don't care if something breaks (they can call it an "alpha" indefinitely after all and break features as they please, even in live builds) or they have such high overturn that there is no time to tell new engineers what to do and how to do it. CiG seems to completely lack any sort of testing system, unit tests, regression tests, etc. they just release an update on that 500 different engineers worked and none of them knows what the other is doing.

[@tatsumakijim]

@4:29 new to the game here: but with regards to density. Isn't SCU a measure of volume, while Density speaks to mass. Doesn't that simply mean that high density means you need more of it to create 1 SCU? Kind of like gold having a density of 630. You'd have to find 6x more gold than aluminum to have the same SCU, wouldn't you? Low density would fill up your cargo hold faster.

[@grichguy]

I don't think density comes into the equation as the compositions shows total scu and then a percentage of what that scu contains. Also if you split it it is possible to roll a good split I would have definaly split that first bex asteroid

[@sylekin]

yeah i would have split some of what he skipped to check too, good guide overall though as usual

[@grichguy]

@@sylekin Agreed

[@luka5games308]

Great video! What's going to happen if I try quantanium? I should rush?

[@mustrumridcully3853]

Find a friend with a Mole - "borrow" 4 of his bigger bags which gives you 48 scu instead of 32 scu.

[@timmbobb]

You can also just buy the bigger bags and put them on

[@mustrumridcully3853]

@@timmbobb Doesnt work for me, you cant pull them out of the store.

[@timmbobb]

@@mustrumridcully3853 use the elevator

[@theOzz13]

Bit confused.. this video suggests to avoid Titanium with a density of 151 but Teranite of 341 or gold of 630, etc are more favorable. If the density is avoided due to storage it doesn't make sense to strictly go by density. It has to be sell value vs cargo storage.. so, any clarification on this would be cool, thanks,

[@squantson]

Can you tractor-beam components (lasers/QD'etc) on / off a _rented_ prospector?

[@vanityvoodoo969]

Or get a vulture and with 13 scu make close to 180k-190k very fast. Mining used to be great when Yela had a lot of quantanium. Then they changed how mining works and cut down how much you get for quantanium by more than half. Honestly, these days, if you want auec, just do salvage, if you want free armor, do bunkers. Hauling isn't profitable, even when you have max rep, same with bounties.

[@timmbobb]

It's kind of funny, Hauling and Commodities trading died in the "Cargo Empires" update....

[@friggenbozo4495]

for a while, just cash out on the spot. It's only half, but too many glitches plus an update is coming any minute. Even small updates wipe out your mining orders. Nothing like doing 4-5 mining runs to log in and see an update wiped out your orders. Then a week later happens again lol

[@carlosespinal1434]

ty sir

[@aso6437]

Good video.. GG's

[@TacoBoy_123]

Is gold still prfitable ?

[@SuperPope69]

Yes. Especially when processed

[@Mullins23]

Is there any way to auto unload or sell from a C2?

[@timmbobb]

Autoloading/Unloading is broken right now, and it also costs so much that it usually makes what you're hauling unprofitable.

[@Nesha96Alt]

Why it cant mine quantinium ? and What to do with the gadget ?

[@TheCoreGameplay]

Gadget is a little bit broken right now, that's why I didn't use it. Quantanium rocks come in all sizes, probably found a big one where you need a group to help break it.

[@Nesha96Alt]

@TheCoreGameplay ahh ok i got it..

[@christamez4147]

I’ve been trying to load my nomad ((24scu) but it doesn’t work. Does the game not give you smaller boxes to accommodate this? I bet it’s trying to spawn a 8scu box and failing…

[@InspectorV-fk7tq]

Can this be done with a rented prospector as well? Adding all the components and such.

[@PaulMEdwards]

​@_F_I_E_R_C_E_ modules can also be installed by tractoring them.

[@GutsGaming]

Great videos, or shall I say "superrrr decent"

[@TheCoreGameplay]

Thanks for the superrrr decent comment! 😂

[@Theos82]

here and there

[@mike_d_melb_music_fan5229]

Is planet mining still broken in 3.24.3 ? I was only able to find gems on Euterpe. I like planet surface mining because it's scenic .

[@ansonfluck2372]

Can i change Laser or Gadgeds ob e Rented Prospector? Maby not why u dont sai that? Not all Players know this

[@TheCoreGameplay]

You can change it but you have to unlock the ports, bring up the mining head on the elevator and swap it yourself.

[@ansonfluck2372]

@ oh oke thanks i will try next Time

[@buzbom1]

Just to be clear. Which Alt, left or right and is it right "click" while holding alt to switch to "Extraction" mode? I just zoom in when I right click. I'm stuck in fracture mode looking at this asteroid I just fractured. Thanks.

[@PaulMEdwards]

Left Alt + Left Mouse Button click You could've checked it yourself in Options > Keybinds > Advanced

[@buzbom1]

@@PaulMEdwards Ya, after 45 min of searching through options I finally stumbled on to it. I got used to the Vulture's setup, that this one had me for a loop. Thanks for the info. I'm writing this onto pages n pages of notes to hang in front of me. I've spent waay to much time searching how to play, instead of actually playing lol.

[@ryandevilly7468]

So as of now what is the best way to make money ?

[@dynamic5109]

Probably hauling. The amount that he made here mining for the time spent wasn’t worth it. Hauling can soon accumulate a lot if you link the deliveries

[@horacy86]

Secondary materials have nothing to do with cargo space, fragments will split and you just chose fragments with high bexalite content and low titanium. Secondary materials impact how hard it is to mine, they have diffrent resistance, stability and so on. As long as you get ~30% good primary mineral you go for it.

[@杨伟民-z3t]

They patch the prospecter using Mole bag thing. I tried two times and my prospecter enven lost its orinal bags. and also, my Mole doesn't allow me to go into side rooms to use those side lasers. so I play solo Mole, I can only use the front laser now!

[@jammer_5502]

Use the open exterior button while sitting in the pilot's seat, and it will open the doors in the arm by the turrets.

[@daveg1701]

Mole bags still work on the prospector but they won’t attach unless shoot the cages around the bags off.

[@杨伟民-z3t]

@@daveg1701 No! I did shoot brackets off and store the ship and save the change. when I shoot the bracket, massage said the ship has been inpond and need to pay 50K fine, or wait one hour. I did it twice in two hours and when I pull the ship, it come out with bracket but no bags on it. Test yoursalf please!

[@evilcitrus07]

I don't understand why he doesn't break up bexalite and titatium and hope to get bexalite out separately

[@Nerasgame24]

can we rent the ship and do modifications ?

[@Link9164]

Can't change the loadout of a rental.

[@smiluo]

hope roc mining gets fixed sucks u cant mine the gems

[@havoc-ado]

Am I crazy or do you sound like Nandor from What We Do In The Shadows

[@TheCoreGameplay]

I get that a lot actually

[@johndonovan7018]

so mining has been broken for 2 years now.. always something broken about it. great!

[@sandiguha]

Mining is broken - what do you mean?

[@TheCoreGameplay]

on moons and planets

[@Funkiyy]

Use the vulture it's easier

[@johni6138]

bunkers r busted atm and it's god mode where u don't die and neither do npcs unless u hand to hand kill them. bounties r a desync mess where ur targets jump all over the place and makes it almost unplayable... so I thought I'd give roc mining a try... I didn't know mining was broken. between my rented roc wheels melting into my cutty floor making it a bitch to unload and patches of ghosted hadanite that cannot be mined it has been very frustrating to say the least. to add insult to injury the one time I did manage to mine some rocks when I transferred them to an scu storage box and tried moving it to hangar storage the box literally fell thru the floor and was gone.. and I also had a bunch of guns in the box too. lost it all and fuck u very much cig 😖🔫
