Mining at high lvl is killing the fun for me

[Sceles]

Spheres for lvl30+ pals take too much iron and structures not only take iron but also coal. My capture power is 9/10 so one away from max. I try to stun enemies before capturing but it doesn't do ♥♥♥♥, Stones next to my base are not producing nearly enough ore and moving ore from my second base to my 1st one is a huge hassle even with weight pals. As for doing mining myself 1) I don't want to mine I'm ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ over lvl40 I've done that too much already 2) My inventory gets full after like one minute of mining. And again, this is with weight pals. And that whole amount can go to capturing one pal.

The balance is just wacked. Ore should not weight so much and it should be easier to obtain or things should not require as much ore to craft.

As soon as you can make a second base, find a spot near several nodes of ore, plop your second base there. A bunch of beds, a feed box, a hotsprings, a storage box, and your mining/transportation pals.

Go play. Stop in now and then to collect and refill their feed.

I feel like people are incapable of reading. I said that I already have two camps producing ore and am over lvl40. I could even make a third and probably will but I don't want to ♥♥♥♥ up its location. And even assuming I do make a 3rd camp I still have to move things around between them and idk how my two other camps will end up if I place it too far away.

Good base locations

-37 -160
9 ore, 1 coal, skill fruit tree

190 -40
Less ore, more coal

I build my second base in the first loc.. then abandoned it because i wanted to move my main base too, and its best done with one free palbox duhh, so dont make the same mistake as me, if you plan to move the main base, move it before creating another one lol.

Thanks, I will try these

I have my second base near the desolate church - a bunch of ore nodes here. But I can't figure out why the ore income is still so slow. 2 Digtose, 1 Palking, pals with transport lvl 2 and 3. Yet I still struggle with low numbers. Go figure.

Make a chest near the furnace in your mining base

Spam Dumud/Digtoise/Tombat pals with artisan skill..
Berry plantations + Elisabee/Verdash
gg ores

don't use digtoise it bugs on ore nodes and mines slower than a reptyro. use a reptyro instead i had the same issue till i watched the digtoise bug out and mine alot slower than a reptyro did. any miner that attacks is better than digtoises spin on nodes. works great on the stone farm but not ore nodes.

I have a main base for crafting, 2nd base near Desolate Church with like 8 ore and a stone node, and a 3rd base near Anubis with around 6 coal, 1 iron node.
Base 2 and 3 are optimized for mining. They only have ranchers for food and miners and haulers.
When I'm not on the bases mining halts quickly, and they produce no ore or coal.
My workaround to this is to turn off raids and afk on my bases, but that is not very efficient, and pals eventually kill themselves due to getting stuck in the air, and other places. Then I need to carry all the stuff to the crafting base. Because you can't produce all the necessary materials for crafting on the crafting base. I put plenty of points into carry weight, so I have 800 base CW, which translates to 100 coal or ore. Which translates to roughly 1 trip to the base for every 1 minute of mining.

Crafting ammo and crafting spheres is really, really annoying. Pals should be able to do this. I have many ideas, for example, a pal which has the ability to open portals for miner pals. You fly around, every 5 minutes or so you can use your partner ability to open a portal to base: your miners arrive, extract the node in 30 seconds or so, and take it back to the base.
Another idea: A building / job in the base or a pal ability which lets you take back items Torchlight style: You use the feature, an UI opens asking what do you want to take home, your pet disappears with the items and returns after X*weight amount of seconds.
And so on.

agree 100%.

there needs to be a resource well for other resources like there is for wood and stone

there's a spot near mid map behind the church that spawns like 10 ore nodes next to each other, I just built a base there and put a bunch of pals with mining skill, a pair of fire ones and some forges, every time I warp back to that base to pick stuff up I have like 200 more iron bars. (standard settings, nothing changed from default)

Make your pals do the work, no point manually mining, it's way slower.

You can also enter low-mid level mines with pals that increase your carry weight to come back with 40-80 ore. Mining Foreman pals increase your manual mining speed but not your pal mining speed (that's Artisan).

The real answer to your ore problem though is the automated ore farm video mentioned above.

I prefer to use my first base later in the game for breeding and farming and build a ore and a coal farm at easy to defend spots where i can outsource my wood and stone production too to make room for pals in my main base.
