earn money - Trade / market is broken? - Is there a (legal) way other than mining, (theft), orga play, sell blueprints to earn money?

[realMod]

I am curious  - mining seems to be the most lucrative way to earn Quanta as of now.

While the path to get there is pretty much blocked now (I mean, feel free to mine and save up money while learning industry talents), industry can get your "easy" money.

 

Just do NOT think "what is easy to make and always needed? I should produce it!", because that road leads to basic engines and containers which can only be sold at a profit if you buy ore very cheap and have all refining talents. And even then it takes days to get your money back. 

 

Atmo engine M=12631

Atmo engine L= 73267

Container L=132668

Assuming you have all relevant talents (refining, smelting, intermediary parts) maxed and t1 ore prices are 24.

 

If you go for "What is a bit annoying to make but is still an item a lot of players do want to buy" you can make a profit even without any talents, especially if it is an item people are unlikely to set up machines for. Like territory units, command seat controllers or elevators. The best investment to make even more profit is (sadly) to get another account dedicated to certain talents, like only refining. You only set up refiners one single time and tell them to maintain a certain number anyway, so get another account for that.

As a new player as logging in for the first time this evening. Are their harvestors you can build for mining ore? Like can you build an setup and go back to them to empty them and start them up again. Or is this on the single person/player you mine what you carry? 

[fiddlybits]

There are no harvesters right now. All mining is done by hand. You can link to a container that will let you carry more ore on a single mining trip.

So now that almost all markets will not buy oar... Now What NQ......   you have forced us to mine and sell the res so we can afford to buy your schematic's now you won't buy the oar.  On top of it hex after hex is being strip mined...   What a joke.  Wake up and fix the damm game.
