Do you want a treasure? You probably got it already. A very expensive painting, that's what you probably got in your base that you got on Haven.  I just checked the nice painting that I just want to recreate. Well, I can forget that, 🤣

The rare casing xs that use fluor gives me already a raised eyebrow. 

I'm almost tempted to sell it, but I don't even know how much you can ask for it.... ah well, let's keep it. My own treasure.

Visited today the top of the northpole of Alioth. I hoped to find a lot because there can maybe some strange effects in calculation etc. But there was nothing to find. Nothing, zero, nada. 🤷‍♂️

But some lower on the Northpole circle I had more luck.

But as you can expect, it's rough terrain, high cliffs deep valleys etc... Luckily, you can  still climb it. 

Interesting fact, just like on Earth, this place doesn't know the night. Always daylight 😏 (unless I'm wrong, but I checked the shadows over the day) Maybe for the guys who hate the night perhaps? Unless they put also the summer winter period on the sun simulation. I suspect that the southpole is always dark, still need to check it out. 

Cya guys.

Misleading facts about Alioth. If you check the map of Alioth, you read some "usefull" information about this planet. It seems that it has Bauxite, Hematite, Coal, Quartz, Limestone and Acanthite. These facts put me on a missleading  path to buy some useless mining units, like the uncommon mining unit L and the advanced mining unit L. I must notice that about these mining units,  there's no information about ore Tier 1 to 3 use. Good luck with trying it out yourself... 

So I hoped at least to get some Limestone with the uncommon mining unit... well, that was a bummer.  It seems that you can only get it via the stones on the surface, and that are the four basic ores and the two tier 2 Limestone and Malachite. Btw,  Acanthite is silver! I suspect this is just lazy forgotten info that isn't corrrected! 

I hoped that the advanced mining unit L just just gave more production. That is a bummer too and just a miner for higher  tier ore.  So, this too, is misleading and none of this information you can find in the game, not even in the codex 😠 so far I know. 

Really not very usefull, the codex 🤷‍♂️

Very funny, how to park your ship in a busy airport...  I suspect this wasn't intentional 🤣

What I don't like about flying to market 6 are all these high buildings.  Sometimes they just jump in your view, and if you don't fly high enough, well, I don't like to hit these things. I still need to fly my ship like an airplane you know. 

Created my first large building static core, it took some while, but I managed it. You can really build a large construction with it. I leave it in my container for now, 😅

Exlored a seafloor, there was really nothing to see or to find, it was more like the Dead Sea. But I found something interestingly, somebody dug a deep hole in the sea floor. Why, no idea 🤷‍♂️ You don't expect to find something like this... how much luck do I have to stumble on  this...

The seas are empty and void, but at some places you find some interesting effects with plants and water. It looks better this way...

Cya guys.

Every time when I use the shuttle station and just go and take the shuttle, I look never up. But then I noticed something. It says Alioth and moons. What moons? They go only to Haven, Alioth and Sanctuary. But then I noticed the elevators on the floor and yep, here I am, on the next level.  The doors you see open automatically, but there's nothing to see 🤷‍♂️

Well, it seems the developers planned something, but never put it in the game. What could it be? Money, lazyness, or they didn't want us to make it 'easy'? Whatever, this gives me a bad vibe... I hope they will put it still later in the game...  hopefully. 

Mining machines are worthless.... That's what I can only conclude after building a fuel factory and working with it for a few days. The max that the whole factory could produce was only 1000 l. of kergon a day. Now, isn't that an eye opening thing. 

And then the strange but frustrating calibrating system. I'm good enough to get a chance of around 75 procent to find the 100 percent hot spot from calibrating all four of them.  There is always one that is more difficult. I found even out that the cone search option is not even 100% correct. I always start from the center.  Sometimes it's exactly the other side that has the spot.  Sometimes I'm right and then I can still find it, but it's tricky 🤷‍♂️ Ah, and the bonus you get is around 4000 ( in my case 4800),  with some luck you can produce more then 5000 l. kergon with it. 

So, in fact, I can find more with just picking up stones than the whole four mining machines can produce. It's if it is just an afterthought for the game. So, let me guess, no respawn of ores in the field, the mining machines produce less then 1000 each day without callibrating. And you pay 500.000 each week for a piece of land? What a ripp-off. On an economical view, it's a dying struggle to go bankrupt, especially since it is not 100% sure that you can even sell the kergon or the ore to get the money together.  The only thing why I did it was because there isn't copper on Haven.

How to smuggle your 'car' to another place... Well, that was the question with something that can't fly through space. I have a nice place just 4 km away from the nearest airport on Alioth. You can even do it on foot. But it can still faster.  I want my car there. If you want to pendel via airports, you still need have something to travel with. The other base is still 34 km away from the nearest airport.  Solution, create a blueprint of your smallest thing, and disassemble it.  I had to recreate some of the elements, there was something wrong with it, like the pilot chair and a metal plate? No problem. The only strange thing I encountered, you can't use the original blueprint, and you guessed it, you need to create a copy of it, and you still need to pay for it again! Not too much, but still... whatever. But here I recreated my 'car' again, no problem at all. 😁

The Eagle has landed... on Alioth. Testing the waters after 7 years. But this time I'm not stranded on a strange planet without any Kergon. Only this 'bike', I can't really recommend it. It doesn't use much fuel but is terrible slow.  And because the strange placement of the space engine you can't fly straightwards in space, you need to use the space engine as a focus, otherwise you will miss the target. But the distance between Haven and Alioth is somewhat a problem. The districts are behind the planet, faced from Haven. That will add on the travel time. I was almost an hour traveling. Talk about boring.... Still need to get some land here on Alioth. 

Parked my ship (yeah I know, it's an ugly thing/ship/whatever) on Haven 5 and went to Elioth and sold some Kergon in a market in district 6. It seems that it is the most active place in the whole game. I can only produce enough kergon for around 100.000 worth of money each day. Well, it's something. I wanted to expand my territory to get more basic ore so that I can produce more fuel, but I seem to hit some problems, since I was denied to get the tile even when I got the 'green' light to plant that thing. I think I need to create my own org. or something. What a pain. 

I also visited Exchange. It was so busy there.... well not exactly, even there it was a ghost town... It seems that dreams are not always been fulfilled.

Meh, a few  times i got the question for the scale that  I would advise to play this game to others. The longer I play, the lower I want to suggest other gamers to play this game. The play level is hard and for example,  I wasted 1,9 million on stupid things. Not enough cargo, a wrong mining unit, etc. and other mistakes that could have been  easily fixed.  Haven is also the wrong place to start, I think.  And I still have to build my own ship, yet.

The grinding, the useless complex things that takes the fun away... I can understand why many people would stop playing.  I have copper in the ground,  but I can't even build the damn mining thing for it.  You need lithium of all things. And I have only  some Copper ore. All this because the field has stopped spawning ores.  I can only use mining units now. XD....  The play level is really very hard. I'm losing it guys...
