Ursa Miner's price?
Everything in Ursa Miner is 10 times of their original price. Is this a bug or it's intentional?

Its intentional. Chuckles wants us to hyperinflate our play times with endless grinding or farm-multiplex exploitation. Unless they just want us to cheat in the stuff we need to do anything funner than diggig through mountains of sameyness.
EDIT: Maybe i'm just getting burnt out with mining-sandbox stuff. *sigh*

nah i think the same. They nerfed almost all ways to farm pixels fast. All build blocks that used to have some value are now 0 they want you to mine asteroids and farm like a MF xD

As most game of this genre do ;)

Either go mine and get all the resources yourself, or buy them at inflated prices.

They are inflated and you get a huge penalty when selling. On the other hand you can basically walk around on any planet and find a chest with a weapon worth 2 durasteel bars in it and lots of the quests reward mystery bags with ore, or the main quests have a chest at the end with bars of metal sometimes as a reward after beating the boss. You can also rip up all the furniture in dungeons and sell it for a good profit. (love those miniknog research facilities)

I got through the game by looting everything I found, selling it at travelling merchants for mad pixels and then stocking up on metals I needed. Never bothered mining much because of a few reasons.

1 caverns are dangerous - though if you spend all your money buying metal you don't lose anything except time getting your medicines back.
2 they're difficult/time-consuming to navigate without a grapple or tech compared to just running across the surface
3 I never found a single cosmetic item or blueprint deep underground just generic loot

I did mine until I got the breathing EPP but after that I just bought the higher tier metals and mined copper/gold/silver from the asteroids, but only because it's so easy and wasting money to buy them.

You actually buy stuff from Ursa Miner?
What do you buy? A fully modded Matter Manipulator feels fine for basically everything...

Takes a lot of looting and mission running to get enough modules for a fully upgraded MM though ;)

And I have to say looting dungeons give you a lot of stuff as well, and pixel shortage is mostly not a problem. But even then I only buy from Ursa when I'm to lazy to go out and get the stuff myself. Same goes with batteries and other stuff you can buy at the infinite store at the outpost.

I only buy stuff, if I only need one or two more Bars....... and have not to go again mining...... for only 4-6 ores.

And that is what the inflated prices probably try to do. If it was to cheap to get the ores from the shop none would go out and mine ;)
