Question about finding T3 Ores

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

so now i'm at that stage of game that i'll need t3 and better ores to starting making a warp drive. Actually i'm trying to mine Pyrite on Thades, but it seems that is very tought to find it.

 

I digged an hole 900m depth and digged a 4 tunnels (One going Nord, one south etc) 2km long each, but it seems that it didn't help.

 

So anyone of you have some suggestion about findind T3 ores or better? 

 

Than k you!

Territory scanners are a great boon to finding higher tier ores.

Of all the digging around I found one pyrite blob, but depth on Thades is very variable because the actual surface (that the ore depth is calculated from) can start anywhere from -1500m to 3000m, which complicates matters.

You'll need to build carefully to fully utilize a Territory Scanner on a ship as it is tall,  heavy and thin and will make most ships difficult to fly.   

 

I recommend a simple S core + shape with M engines and parts and anti gravity (one generator and 6 pods) to gracefully float from 1 hex to the next.   Plan some nanocrafting too as there's a 15 minute wait for the scan.

you could just keep it in your pocket/box until you get to the tile that you want to scan

My suggestion, find a niche product, focus on it, sell it, make money, buy warp drive.  Solo does not mean self sufficient.  Self sufficient is by far the slowest for of progression in this game.

You could... but it would limit what else you could take to help fill those 15mins gaps and it limits the amount if ore you can take.  So, swings and roundabouts.
