Mining and Prospecting

Unread post by Ketraar » Wed, 19. Jan 22, 13:13
5.00 brings some adjustments to the mining and prospecting features. Though neither changes are very deep, it would be good to get some feedback on them during this beta cycle. If you have any feedback related to these features please post them here. We'd appreciate any insights from both players that start new games, and also from those that are using saves from previous versions.

Mining Regions
To improve performance, some changes and fixes were made to mining regions. This had some impact on region yields, and we adjusted them accordingly so that they have approximately the values that we had before.
Based on previous feedback, a few additional gas regions were added, which should help combat the scarcity of some gases.


Prospecting
Placing resource probes no longer prioritises mining locations.
Mining ships will decide where to mine based on which spot is the best, within the restrictions set by their parameters.
Placing probes in good spots still has an impact on mining efficiency.
Players that want to control where ships should mine or where they shouldn't, can use the blacklist feature to define that, on a per ship basis where necessary.


Please let us know what you think and how this impacts your game. We are looking forward to your feedback. Thanks in advance.
