I really got discouraged when trying to laser mine, I've been core mining before. I tried following this guide and to no avail. I only ended up with 25 diamonds in like 1 hour and 30. I then went and sold it. I decided to give it another try and then ended up with 115 diamonds in an hour and a half. I was pretty surprised, and cheered up because I thought it'd be a waste of time. Thanks for the guide!

[@jaredfieseler6654]

It legitimately is skill based to a point of spotting the deep core asteroids, you’ll get faster at it

[@kalebmearite4126]

Ive just started elite dangerous like 3 days ago and tried watching so many tutorials on how things work. This is the first video that ive actually been able to comprehend and i thank you so very much for that.

[@darkzide7558]

As an alternative method to adding a fuel scoop to your mining ship. I built a second ship, stripped down for range with the same cargo hold and a class 6 fuel scoop. I park it at a system next door and when I'm done mining, I swap ships and cargo to cut down on the time required to jump to the best sell station.

[@WarHawkAU24]

That's a really good idea. Thank you!

[@The_Mighty_Quinn]

Yeah this does seem like the perfect excuse to build a purpose built transport ship and spec it for range/speed and defense.This works perfectly given that the best hotspot doesn't move so is easy to park it next to my mining ship

[@darrylbradshaw216]

You can do that now?

Great tip about pointing the ship at an angle, while firing at the lower half of the rock. From the looks of your collectors there, it must be a reduction in grind time! Thanks Astro! It's people like you in this community that make the game worthwhile.

It's nonsense. You will get far better results core mining. Trust me on this. Laser mined 4 rocks last night for 7 tons of LT diamonds. The same 4 rocks would release 30+ tons core mining 👍

[@rmj2n]

The Python is all I use now. I'm thinking about selling all of my ships even my Anaconda. I never have time to fill it's cargo so I rarely use it.

[@Gorf1234]

I have a python miner on all three of my CMDRs and a cargo cutter on two of them. When a python is full I transfer its cargo to a cutter and replace it with limpets from the cutter. The original idea was to make a billion per full cutter when void opals were a thing. I've just started transferring the cargo back to the python before sale - since the nerf, the more cargo you carry, the less you get for it. A good rule of thumb is to carry less than 10% of the station's demand.

Very informative, thank you. I just go to a station next door and throw in a fuel scoop and guardian fsd booster I've left stored.

[@Scalpaxos]

Hi guys, this is probably old news for most of you but I think it's worth mentioning, the selling prices are linked to your cargo size: after some testing I noticed a loss of around 200.000Cr per unit when loaded with 500t of LTD, that's a net loss of more than 100 millions. A cargo size of ~250t seems to be the sweet spot. Don't know if this is station specific or a general mechanic though.

[@TheAnhydrite]

It depends on the Demand at the station and its relation to your cargo size. If the demand is high enough, 500 tons wont get hit with the bulk tax.

[@jco2641]

That is why hes recommending a demand at least 20x your cargo capacity.

[@LordRaptorJesus]

*PRO TIP* You dont necessarily need a fuel scoop when your mining at Borann, what I do is fly to the Brother's Installation right next to the LTD Triple Hotspot and drop of my Fuel Scoop and grab my Refinery. After I'm done mining I stop at Brother's Installation swap my Refinery out for my Fuel Scoop then go make Bank! Also been using my Corvette as a Mining Ship and soo far its actually been really good. Currently make about 250+million per trip + 1hour worth of mining=1 Happy CMDR >_

Is that guide with the tripple overlapping hotspot viable even if borann at one point will drop down in system reserve? Or to ask differently, is the tripple hotspot more important than system reserve, or does it also work on a pristine system with a single non overlapping hotspot?

[@Snake1257]

Great Video, gonna start up my Cutter and see if I can't get the billions flying in again. 😁 Edit: I just wanted to check the link with the Mining Cutter Build but it would seem the Website is down?

[@Priotech]

Just because no-one seems to mention it, but Torval's Power Play module, the Mining Lance, lets you shoot rocks form 2km away. I've found these things speed up mining as you can start stripping a rock as you fly up to it instead of having to kiss it with your ship first. Give them a look.

[@TheAnhydrite]

They don't speed up mining. If you use 2 medium mining lasers you will strip a rock faster then if you used 5 Mining Lances. The range does not make up for the slow speed they mine at. Also, if you start lasering from 2k away your limpets will take forever to collect those fragments. Limpet travel is what makes the largest contribution to efficiency when trying to speed up mining. Medium Lasers are also more efficient with heat and Power Distro usage.

[@s3ra9h1m]

Go to Borann, Planet A2, look for 3 low temperature diamond hotspots together and mine it from the sweat spot where they all overlap. Use whatever ship and layout that maximizes your load (I use a Python) and ed tools to find the best place to sell.

[@Khunvyel]

A note on refinery: I wouldn't recommend "any" which is quite a noticeable flaw in your video that has to be adressed. *Every size 4 Refinery is simply useless* . A full 4A refinery has 10 bins, thus capable of holding extra 10 tons of material... whereas a size 4 Cargo rack holds 16. That's a net loss. 3A refinery holds 8 tons, which is on par with a Size 3 Cargo rack. So you can treat it like a two-in-one module. 2A Refinery is simply made out of magic stuff. A size 2 cargo module holds 4 tons, whereas a 2A refinery holds 6 bins. If you only go hunting for a single material, that's the thing to populate a free slot for. 1A Refinery is not just magic stuff, but bends the fabric of space and time itself. While it "only" holds 4 bins, that's twice the capacity of a size 1 cargo bay. If you only hunt for one - and exactly one - material like in this case, then by all means, go for the SMALLEST A-type refinery you can get and fill the rest with bigger cargo bays. You can get away with a 1A prospector if you keep your situational awareness, which is not a given if you, the esteemed reader aka new player, just wants to start out. (( Also, dear new player: do not get fooled by the "Imperial Cutter". You're not going to get the rank for that for a while. Adapt ships as necessary.)) Get yourself landmarks (planets, moons, suns, nebulae, everything works) to orient yourself so you know you always mine in one specific direction and everything behind you is safely disregarded as "empty." You can also mark a destination that you set as "this is the direction I want to plow through" like the video host has, which is conveniently going to be your exit point too after you're done. Also, do not worry to jettison excess limpets if you're fighting with free space. The money "lost" on them is not worth a thought because your time is far more valuable. Get rid of excess limpets so your collectors never stop delivering. Buy more limpets if you're uncertain, and ditch excess limpets as you get the hang of it. The key is also to minimize downtime. If you do laser mining, don't be picky. Grab one rock after the other. If you're careful with your positioning (aka you're not out of range to your limpets) you can even start chewing on the next rock while your other limpets are still trying to clean up the mess you did at the previous rock :) And if you take note about how the chunks are spewing out of the rock you notice there is a pattern that is dependant on the angle you shoot at the rock, and the rotational speed of it. If you place yourself in a way that the chunks fly directly under you, then your limpets will have the least traveltime, thus the fastest delivery. If you start to mine in a type-10 , you will appreciate that :)

[@ChrisFaulkner]

yup, a refinery as a "cargo hold" is very nice

[@sbf2557]

It isn't about how many tons it holds, it's how many materials the refinery can process at once. But for mining like this, you only need a small one

[@Khunvyel]

@@sbf2557 That is exactly what I said above: "If you only hunt for one - and exactly one - material like in this case, then by all means, go for the SMALLEST A-type refinery you can get and fill the rest with bigger cargo bays." :) And even for people doing multiple materials and rocks, it still holds true that any size 4 refinery remains useless.

[@belliott538]

WOW! As a Beta Commander, I feel silly for Missing this... Well Done!

[@Gorf1234]

Yep ^ this. A 1a or 2a refinery has two more bins than the equivalent size cargo hold. A 3a refinery has the same capacity as the same size cargo hold.

[@noahhull3390]

That's a lie, Cutter is the best

[@foreverspellman]

I own a corvette and never even wanted a cutter. Like what you like, but I enjoy the maneuverability over the straight line speed a cutter is known for. I also enjoy the 2 huge hardpoints much more than I would on a cutter, despite the lesser cargo capacity. I vote for fun to fly over statistically capable. The ship is a tool, the skill comes from me. I'd rather have the ability to turn quicker to obliterate them than excel at running away. Just my two cents.

[@noahhull3390]

The Corvette can't compete outside of combat, the cutter is objectively better in every other application, and it can still hold its own in combat. Fly what you want, but if you are a new player looking for an endgame ship, the Cutter is all you will ever need.

[@Khunvyel]

@@noahhull3390 The question is, what are those "outside applications" for a dedicated warship, that isn't again outclassed by the Anaconda? I think I know where you are coming from and what you're getting at, so maybe it's good to spell it out for the doubtful player above. In the end, it's not always about numbers and values (even though that's fun too :D ) but what the individual person prefers. I can't stand certain cockpit layouts which makes flying an "objectively better" ship a bit of a chore. There are other things that drag down a personal player experience. For example, the Cutter is by far not as maneuverable as the Corvette. That's a no-go for a lot of people on it's own. Maneuverability has a clear use case outside of combat as well. So just by a few factors alone, the Imperial Cutter can not be the objectively better ship. It's by the nature of the word "objectively", simply impossible.

Agreed with comment above. Anyway, it's not just 5B, you will want to buy modules and those cost a lot too; do your math, they are crazy expensive, considering modules, upkeep and fuel (even if you mine it, it's still a lot and worth time and money). Moreover, if things don't change, you will never own a carrier, you just rent one, as long as you can afford it. On a side note, carriers are pretty useless right now, just a stupidly expensive menu.

As mentioned prior. There is something called Borann A2 B ring where you can mine LTDs in a spot where three hotspots overlap. Takes a bit of trying to find the perfect spot but I just started playing the game and once I learned the trick myself. I can fill up my mining python in about 45mins to an hr. Thats a little over 200million. 192T storage and an 2A refinery for 6 extra slots. Then I only sell to places where its over a mill per diamond. There is a miners tools if you google called edtools. I use it quite religiously.

[@dantheman9565]

@@svimle511 Yeah the reason I wasn't finding much was because I had just recently learned the void opal deep core farming method, where you have to be more specific in what you're targeting. With this method you just may as well prospect anything not spinning 200mph

dont target anything. If you target a fragment and send a limpet to get it, it will collect it and then suicide :c If you dont target any fragments and send some limpets out they will hang around and collect stuff for a few minutes.

[@K162KingPin]

Good Info thumbs up. That said you are missing some stuff I'd like to know. Maybe its addressed in another of your videos or maybe it can be addressed soon. First your link to your ship build isn't working "Error 502" or something. Also I use the same web site to price where to sell the ore. Two times now I have looked up the highest price relatively near where I'm mining. One for example was buying about 3,300 units for 1.25 mill / diamonds. I literally checked it just before leaving to fly there. The site says it updated 6 mins ago. I fly 8 jumps over there fast as I can and when I dock in the station the price is only 850k. I go back to the site it still says that station is buying them for 1.25 mill but clearly its not. I end up having to make about 30 more jumps to go to yet another station that is only paying around 1.1 mill, which was about 12 mill less on that rather small load than I would have gotten plus all the extra jumping to go to plan b, plan c, ect until finding a station actually paying what the web site says it is. I've had this happen to me twice out of only 3 loads of ore I've sold. Does this happen to you a lot? to everyone? Is there a way to prevent it? Im running the app thats supposed to let my client update the site but that doesn't work for places I'm not at. This is incredibly frustrating and cuts seriously into credits / hour when you are running around on a wild goose chase trying to find a buyer. Another thing you didn't mention much is deep core mining in your "ultimate" guide. Is it just not worth doing compared to the way you showed? I've only been doing deep core but I have a really hard time finding the deep core asteroids. I've watched every video I can find on the subject but while many people show a short clip of actually finding one NOBODY I can find has actually just gone from one to the next to the next to show how to find them. So for all I know they spend 30 mins between them trying to find the next one too. I don't know. If its still a viable mining method I'd like to see a more detailed video on hunting down the right rocks. Not just tiny clips of finally finding them. Finally the limpets. I found out that there is a way to tell them to only harvest certain things. But when I tried it all the stones coming out were a mixture of for example diamonds and water or something. So I found a stone that only had water in it and told them to ignore the water but they stopped picking up the diamonds too. What can be done about this so they arn't spending tons of time picking up stuff you are just going to eject into space. Is that what you do with everything but the diamonds? Dump it into space? Doesn't seem to me its worth the cargo space for what that trash sells for.

Any chance of a 2021 update to this video?

[@110890nick]

Har du en stream ?.

[@RGS1970]

plus, that ship build is engineer build, do you have a build for non engineer build? anyway, i found people are too optimistic about the credits hour mining. I did the calculation here with some math equation I made taking several variable considerations and the most you get as average doing several runs is 90 million solo (remember, average, this was for 10 runs) as you increase the amount of runs that number goes down. That is why I was asking if you were solo or wing mining. Thank you anyway, best regards and be safe

[@brucefidler1303]

When buying you want the demand to be high, but when selling, you want it as close to zero as you can, because they won't be able to lower their buying price, buying it from you. I have found that to be true in all cases, so far on this game.

[@nicos.3828]

Can u tell your drones to only fetch low temp. diamonds?

[@MsTerkup]

You can add materials to an ignore list in your contacts screen. I believe that makes them ignore them. (If not just eject what you don't want no Biggie)

WHEN i shoot my probes at the ring i hot spots like that won't apear, so i have no way to see where they overlap or are close to each other

[@dantheman9565]

If it doesn't scan at all (ring's not going blue) then probe it from further away, I think it's some bug. But if that's not your issue then that's very strange the hotspots not showing up, sure you got the right planet?

[@shillen65]

Pal, I really like and enjoy your videos👍👍 May i ask a question, a bit offtopic? Everytime when watching the Videos I wonder about your dialect and ask myself where i have heard such before. 😎 So today i make a guess - are you dutch?

[@DowntoEarthAstronomy]

Close. Danish.

[@shillen65]

Down to Earth Astronomy Thanks for reply, that is really close... 👍😎

[@Mini3D]

What’s the updated meta for mining for 2023?

[@DonnyBreskoGaming]

Nice but 500M for Chip-Build o.0 is there any beginenrs build out there? at around 50-70M? I now have ~105M on Account

[@respaar380]

So whats the deal with the demand? you talked about demand all video but at 9:35 you scrapped that idea? im confused.

[@PaulMEdwards]

I'm also confused about this because while he's talking about "demand", he's actually pointing at "quantity". Logic suggests that a station with a higher quantity of a commodity will have less demand for it. There is a demand section on the Inara screen he's looking at, but he never visits it.

[@aidendavis3086]

Where do I find that list at 9:00?

[@blackforestbiker1045]

hey im a bloody noob in this game and try to explore this game. I wanted to do some mining contracts but my collector drones are collect 1 limpit and are gone, what im doing wrong?

[@DowntoEarthAstronomy]

Dont target the fragments when you deploy your limpet

[@leloinadrass]

Coming back to ED after a pause. I heard a friend telling me that since the Fleet Carrier launch, this method is no longer valid. Is he correct ? Thanks anyway, that video was clear as ever !

[@PewnyPL]

The METHOD is still valid. Just the place changed, a different system has the hotspot now

[@loganpinder9521]

Is this still viable after today's patch?

Right before watching this i seen a post saying " im a newb where is best place to mine"... several comments said borann, replies said borann is mined out... can someone tell me if asteroid fields have a respawn? if so how often is this? ty

[@DowntoEarthAstronomy]

It's not mined out. Only core deposits can be depleted not laser mining.

[@Floyd1138]

@@DowntoEarthAstronomy Thanks D2EA ! Also do core deposits have a respawn rate or once the material is gone is it gone for good ?

[@TheTonts]

@@Floyd1138 They respawn after 3 days or a week... can't remember the exact timeframe
