true, I've watched atleast 5 different videos about mining guides and I still can't find void opals after scanning and searching more than atleast 100+ stones, that's either my luck or all of my hotspots are garbage

Of course, it does not matter if one career is ten times (or more) as profitable the way it was two weeks ago, or of it is 10% more profitable, the crybabies will still complain that there is only one valid way to play the game. One interesting immediate effect of fixing the _bug_ that painite demand was resetting too fast is that painite top selling prices are not lasting for very long anymore, which is as it should be. The issue is however they rarely last more than minutes, and then need days to recover. The supply/demand of Elite Dangerous is built on a single player game mechanics, which does not work well in a multiplayer environment.

[@ZeroJ]

The best part about this video is that they are nerfing mining as we speak without balancing everything else. They are just nerfing mining right now and then they're going to visit the other things later. So we're going to have a state in the game where nothing makes good money

[@melhiore]

@@ZeroJ That is my worry too. I have a funny feeling that after mining nerf, other things - if those ever get any attention - will be bumped 10% maybe and left like that... I have enough money to survive for a while but new players seeing this will just abandon the game and find something better to do... I may even come back to NMS full time...

[@mlblaca]

@@melhiore Mining deserves to be nerfed. It's insane how much money one can make with it even at an intermediate level. And one way or another, this is what combat fanatics wanted. They were constantly complaining about being forced to mine to make top credits. If mining isn't more profitable than anything else then they aren't forced to do it. New players, who abandon the game because they can't make tons of credits in a short time, wouldn't have lasted for too long anyway. Quitters are quitters, no matter what.

[@melhiore]

@@mlblaca For me FDev started to do balancing wrong way round. Instead of nerfing mining that is currently the only way to make money really, they should buff the other stuff, verify and then balance things if needed. I am telling you that we are going to be left with broken game balanced in the wrong way... You see I hate mining - there are others like me, I do that only if I really have to so having other ways to make reasonable money will sort our mining problem in no time...

Although Yamiks is more irreverant/flippant side, this is still a horribly technical game, but with massive potential when you know what you're doing (I'm doing laps round Davs Hope to pickup matierals).

[@matejschwartz6900]

I think after rebalance the mining will be in a good spot. Yes standard laser mining of painite was paying too much compared to everything else. And deep core pays too little for mining. Haz RES overlap mining is in correct spot as the ship needs to be able to do some combat and is more risky. The price rebalance will reduce Painite and LTD prices and also keep VO in line however it seems to hint that other deep core minerals are receiving a buff (Serendibite, alexandrite, benitoite, grandiderite, monazite, musgravite)

[@user-jm8sy5ox2j]

[@DangStank]

For people wondering about the fissure asteroid shape: Metal fissure rocks look like a big, chubby spear head. Icy fissure rocks look like a piece of popcorn. Your welcome for this description that doesn’t really help without visuals

[@jorginho1800]

I've seriously done everything, arrived at atleast more than 10 planets with rings and I've scanned their rings for opal hotspots, searched the hotspots and tried the method where they say oh the more yellow the rock is the more probability to find a fisure with something inside, I'm seriously trying to enjoy the game but the fact that I've spent more than 10 hours trying to find atleast 1 void opal which isn't really that rare or atleast it shouldn't be for the ammount I've mined it's seriously making me not wanting to play the game, and I was enjoying it alot :(

[@lt.k4t503]

Void opals hotspots can only be found in ICY rings and when using pulsewave scanner look for a CONSISTENT bright glowing rock once ur used to seeing non core rocks u can easily spot the core rock, and when you see it commit its shape to memory. For finding core asteroids, they have to be big or medium big and NOT the huge chunky ones and some of them look spiky, and it needs have some rough spots around it use NIGHT VISION to easily see the fissures (Note when u see smooth surface on the rock ignore its 100% NOT a core rock) , and when u finally see a core asteroid look for LOW strength fissures or AVERAGE, shoot the LOW strength with HIGH strength shots with seismic charge so that u only need to set up around 2-3 seismic charges in total to get on the sweet spot. Use websites like eddb.io to find an icy ring just hit your reference system (where u are currently) and set the ring type to ICY, the system reserves doesn't matter when it comes to core mining. Good luck cmdr o7

[@jigsawalwayswins8636]

Agreed mining is aids and this game doesnt help at all. Seems like something only people with money can enjoy

[@DavidSmith-nn6kl]

You are officially my favorite elite dangerous captain I love your commentary

[@serperiorkal8142]

One thing that might help with deep core mining is to have a ship faster than a T-9, or if you can engineer the T-9 above a snail's pace. I had trouble with it because I spent so much more time between asteroids and it was less profitable than my python despite the increased cargo space as a result. I imagine it still works great with laser mining though, or if you get lucky in an overlapped hotspot as you don't have to move around as much with either (I mostly do deep core for the big boom, so I don't know laser as well).

[@voltage2576]

Something to add, when deep core mining, having someone in the gunner role is very beneficial. They see the pulse wave, but their view isn’t limited to the cockpit. The gunner can see all around the ship.

[@Xostriyad]

I suggest Type 9 (when you get enough money just to have dedicated ships laying around) and run flight assist off so you have some gameplay when zapping asteroids.

lol, man I love your videos! well done on this particular one, this is actually a great guide which wont bored you.

[@rumekfuria6037]

The thing about night vision is not used to find rocks, it's to confirm them. After some time you will notice certain shades and other things on how the rock glows with the scanner. And some of them are more likely to have a core. But a chance. So if you don't want to waste your prospectors, you aproach the suspect, and check if you can spot the fissures with are somewhat visible with NV. They have a specific almost cobweb look to them this way

[@jamespike5161]

I use night mode when it’s … dark as shit out and I can’t see what I’m trying to blow up / what’s trying to blow me up. That’s a good tip to know for if I ever go mining.

Came for the mining tutorial Stayed for the innuendo and entertainment

[@Pitchlock8251]

Yeah I'd always recommend a shield, At very least if you happen get interdicted, it buys you time until you can jump again. Or as I found out the hard way, not all asteroids spawn in at once when you cruising looking for cores. Was cruising along had 4 pips to engine to cover the most ground, saw a possible core light up, turned in to get a better look. I was flying straight for it and a asteroid literally just popped in right in front of me, rammed right into it, and lost 50% of my hull. Lesson learned.

@@TheYamiks hi. Thanks for your reply. That's the database I mentioned. But when I type in my Starsystem and prospecting limpets then it gives me so many places I've never heard before... Maybe I'm using it wrong :/

[@voneeto]

You crack me up.

[@petezzzz]

So what you said about avoiding NPCs, at the end. Does flying away also work if you have rocks on-board or only if you are empty? If I even have just one commodity I'm attacked immediately. Sure I blow them to shit and take their stuff, but still.

[@ThePlayerOfGames]

Only if your cargo is empty, though sometimes if you drop cargo fast enough the NPCs will be distracted and take that as payment Refinery contents don't count

[@Jolskie]

how do i send a probe out of my Detailed surface scanner? It just "scans" i dont understand.

[@caltheuntitled8021]

First, make sure you have one installed and set it to a fire group by itself. While in supercruise, go to that fire group and go into analysis mode. If it shows as red, you are either too far away or moving too fast (it will tell you which). Once you are in range and going slow enough, fire it and you will enter a special interface where you can fire probes. For the purposes of mining rings, you want to aim so that it says “ring” below your pointer and then use the same button to fire. The scanner will only hold 3 probes, but your ship will automatically fabricate more of them out of nothing so you have unlimited shots. Scanning rings usually only takes one probe anyway. Also, make sure that you aren’t confusing it with the discovery scanner, which shows up as “D-Scanner” when selected.

What about edtools.cc ?

At 5:22, you said that limpets are odd sized number so I should skip somethin? WTF does that even mean? I need major help with fire group assignment, etc etc.

[@TheYamiks]

limpet controler modules come in odd number module sizes... so size compartments 1-3-5-7 ... so yeah yu can install a size 3 in a compartment size4.

I stuffed a fighter bay and a cap 32 cargo bay in my Keelback to deep core. I do a decent job on hauls, but need protection because I have no offensive stuff.

[@Gore-okami]

can we mine with basic starter ship?

[@isaacsharpe3672]

The sidewinder 'can' mine, but it has no medium hardpoints, meaning no seismic charge launcher. I would suggest upgrading before attempting core or subsurface mining. Even a cheap ship like an adder can core mine, so long as it has a medium hardpoint. Personally, I run an adder for core mining as I am relatively new. brings in roughly 1-3mil per run if you mine in alexandrite or void opal hotspots on icy rings. Use the only T3 optional slot for a T3 cargo rack, with another T2, as well as a T2 refinery and T1 limpet controllers. You don't have space for auto docking computer or supercruise assist, so practice both manually too. Hope this helps!

How do I get the collector limpet back into my ship

[@regentalguide]

Once you deploy limpets, you cant get it back. But often you can bring a fraction(I go like a third) of your cargo hold with limpets and be fine for your entire mining trip

[@jason-qc5lr]

bruh im so confused why my missile bouncing off the rock? is it not lined up ?

[@CluelessGuyAXI]

Point deffense system near cargo rack. U don't want to get fucked by a hatchbreaker and lose loads of cargo. Also, core asteroids can typically be cracked open w/ a couple of charges at max intensity in LOW resistance fissures, and a low intensity charge in a HIGH resistance one.

LTD has, indeed, suffered a massive nerf, but I think that, for now at least, void opals are more profitable than painite, or am I wrong ?

[@michelrekoert5458]

Only if you get lucky or are able to recognize cores, otherwise lazer painine is more profitable

[@jake413]

With the current state of the pulse wave analyser, painite is currently better. However, with the balances coming it looks like core mining will be back on top once the PWA gets fixed.
