True that the game is science fiction not realism. Good science fiction in general follows science to some degree to make it feel possible. When we are getting basic math wrong it kinda breaks a feeling of realism (for me). The big issue for me though id that the game seems to want us to be smart, to work out ways to get an edge etc. Refining on a (non safe) planet is a risk. It means that you either have to accept loss if you get attacked or take measures to protect your assets. It creates game play. If it pays more to just land. Hide in a hole and fly out again. Well that seems bizarre. High risk and effort should give greater rewards, shouldn't it?

It depends. Some ore like quartz. Its better to refine it first.

I guess that could be the fudge answer that one could use. Here is the thing. If miners refine on remote planets because it increases profit. It gives a chance for pirates and PvP play. So, if they fix it. Game play options increase and the universe makes sense.

Please read my post again. I understand that say 1L of "y" (refined product) will weigh more than 1L of "X" What is happening here is the final product weighs more than all of the inputs combined. So lets say 20L of feathers with a combined weight of 10kg makes 1L of lead weighing 15kg. Assuming 100% efficiency that's still a magic 5kg of lead.

I think the mass(kg) of ore v's mass(kg) of pure is broken. That said its possible I'm missing something obvious. Let me explain and maybe the community can let me know if this is an issue or if I'm just seeing this wrongly. Lets take Coal as our example: 1L of Coal has a mass of 1.35kg 1L of Carbon has a mass of 2.27kg (I do appreciate that a refined ore should have more mass. but keep reading) We make 45L of Carbon from 65L of Coal Sooooooo Coal 1.35kg x 65L = 87.75kg Carbon 2.27kg x 45L = 102.15kg difference is 14.4kg So, we threw away 20L of volume and gained 14.4kg total mass. As far as I am aware that's impossible. The total mass would have to be lighter. Why does this matter. Well I was watching a bit of Markee Dragon on youtube today and he was trying to decide whether or not to refine ore on the planet he mined it on before transport. Very important to maximise profits especially if you are using warp cores. He was having a really hard time understanding which was better, comparing litres vs mass etc. Thats when it hit me. Half the pures have more total mass in 45L than the 65 litres they were refined from. Have I got it wrong or is this an issue?

Hi people of not earth, I got my free territory unit for Sanctuary and now I want to buy a territory unit. In support chat I was informed that they go up in price the more you have. So the 1st one you buy costs 15,000, 2nd is 150,000 and so on. I can seem to buy one for anything less than 140,000 Was I misinformed? Do we just have to get them on the open market. No special AI trader?

Unfortunately the tutorial crashed or bugged out 3 times at that point and I just couldnt face going through it again. Since completed it successfully. Phew

I know exactly what to do when the resources run out. We select the brightest and strongest among us and put them on a massive ship . put them into cryogenic storage and send them thousands of light years away to a system with plenty of planets and resources. Problem solved

To me, it seems difficult to make a bug report. I dont want to raise a support ticket. Just want to report a reoccurring bug with the a tutorial. Everything that says bug report .... leads to raising a support ticket. Anyway. Basic building tutorial. I think its the final room. Where we are taght to use the "T key" Translate function. It asks us to use the ALT function to remove the elements we have placed. We remove them and nothing. The tutorial stops and we can progress no further (I think its the end ). Done it 3 times now and it stops at the same place every time.

IN case anybody else needs to know I finally worked it out. tool 1 (deploy element tool) ALT LMB

Can I return a placed element to inventory? If so how?

I just started playing today. I was doing a tutorial when they had a server restart. My racer is gone. There is still a ship icon on my map so its seems it may be in a district pillar or below ground somewhere.
