You need a mining ship to sell the ore, i wasted 5 hours trying to figure out my issue. Regular traders cant carry ORE! you need a mining ship to be a trader for raw minerals

I don't really know why you'd ship raw ore, though. At least for the Commonwealth economy, each raw resource only turns into one processed product. Just process the ore into its Tier 1 product right there and then ship that.

When your mining manager gets to 3 stars, you can extend your sale range by operating a trade station 3 jumps away that will buy and redistribute ore across another 2-3 jumps, significantly increasing your available markets, ensuring your product can find a buyer somewhere (even if it has to change hands a few times).

@Project_-jq7jw 9 ай бұрын
Also, set up a miner ship to run repeat trades to other stations to keep your ore sold off. For the sale destinations, add as many locations as needed to always keep that ship busy. If your station ore level gets depleted, assign more mining ships to prevent that. Enjoy the profitsss.

That when assigning miners and traders to a base their level and capabilities would be the one from the manager. That makes sense when saying / writing it as it seems legit that the manager leads them, but you've explained and illustrated this so well !!! Thanks again for sharing that knowledge !

Great video really helped me get into the game. Now I've built a factory to produce off the products though my miners are suddenly saying "No buyers found in range". My settings are exactly the same as yours and before I added a factory to produce off the Silicon it worked fine. Its almost like the base has decided it doesn't want Silicon anymore despite it being in need of it for production...! I can manually transfer the ore/silicon but that kinda defeats the object of an automated setup...

if your miners are going to mine too far away from the station eg in other sector (due to high manager level) you can set a repeat order to a miner (instead of it being a subordinate) and repeat mining ore/silicon next to station and set it to sell to your station. it will continue to mine and sell automatically

I haven't been able to get the miners to mine or store anything automatically. Manually i have been able to, but i can only get them to store the ore in the build storage. Manager is 2 star, auto mining is at 1 star, but the ore is in the same vicinity of my HQ. Storages are connected to my station, not sure if that matters. I Had the wrong storage.. Also why make a trade rule to buy ore form yourself? couldn't you click a button to not buy ore at all?

Quick question. I’m a new player and have only about 30 hours into the game. I ended up just making a fleet of miners that did “local mine” action. Is this not the same with extra steps? What are the advantages of this kind of station, is this just to cover showing how to build a station and it turn into an ore refinery?

Assign one of your crew or find one on a station and hire them. I explain the process in the tutorial.

​@@WatchMysh hey uhh, while im here, i have a couple ships assigned to "mine for" my station, but they are allowed to jump 2 jumps out to mine, but not allowed any jumps back in to "sell" im unable to change these min/max settings because it says its determined by the commander. my ships are getting 'stuck' out of sector just full of ore. how do i change these behaviors?

was thinking of returning to the game after years away.. watched this video and decided no way. the game used to be so much easier than this spreadsheet nightmare. i play games for fun, and this doesnt look like fun anymore. what happened ? did a crew of nerds take over egosoft ?

X3 wasn't a lot different. Only Rebirth was more "casual". We've always loved EgoSoft since the 90s for being nerds.

seems a bit much only for you to find out you need a lvl 3 trader to do how the video shows. what's the point of getting a lvl 3 manager if the trader is the skill you really need. you need to be able to assign a trader to the station have have him do what ever the manager wants. seems way to much for something simple.

You dont need a level 3 trader, you need a level 3 manager. His skill will apply to all traders no matter their level.

ok so what a waist of time. i don't know why i didn't think of it earlier. you cant even do this with a freighter or a trader.. you make it seem like freighters can haul ore and sell it, but they cant. container storage is different then solid and liquid storage. so this is just BS. you are just building a station and having miners haul ore to the station, then just having miners haul from the station. Its not worth the effort. the game is designed for production. just sell your ore to some one that will buy it from the miner, or use it for production. do not waist your time doing this thinking a hauler will trade witht he best prices in the region or something. it doesn't work that way. I bassically just made a station for selling ore and hydrogen to other factions.... to bad no one HAULS ORE AND HYDROGEN.

If it doesnt fit your play style that's fine. :) The video's goal is to teach people as much about station building and management as possible in as short as possible. What you do afterwards is your own decision - but you know how to build and manage stations now. The last video of the series builds on these lessons and expands the station to a production facility. I also dont make anything "seem like". I tell exactly what kind of freighter you need for which job. You just missed it.

ok. so i see how to do it even though the video doesn't show it. select your miner and right click the station and assign the miner to the trader role. If you get a high enough manager, it may be worth it. but at least this way the manager is controlling the sales.

Good video but I would have used a crew member who wasn’t skilled in piloting. You assigned a two star pilot as a manager. You can use that pilot instead to fill shortages on a ship. What I would do is assign the least skilled crew member to manager roles, then level them up to two star level using seminars. Pilot stars don’t come as easily as manager stars.
