wizardoftrash Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I'm hoping to see that it'll be possible to program machines to dig and mine! There are currently no plans for any digging elements. This means mining will be an activity that players will have to do by-hand. Mining and exploration is intended to be a social and engaging activity in this game, and as such the devs have opted to make digging machines not an option (atleast at release, this may change with later expansions).

ATMLVE Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Yes and I believe the reasoning is that it would be too overpowered. Given that everyone is present in the same universe and resources are non-renewable, automatic mining could end up ruining the game for some people.

Yes it would drive the beginning miner out of the market. If you allow mass mining then the price per unit decreases significantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATMLVE Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Indeed! The implications of non-renewable resources are easily lost in a game like this (by everyone) because people aren't hugely familiar with it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UniversalG Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 It could be possible with LUA if ship mounted drills or the such are added like in space engineers, how automated would depend on the skill of the coder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluestorm Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Yes the only things we're missing are LUA automated mining tools. And that is the things the devs won't give us for the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
