Karbonite problem please help
i just got the updated version of karbonite that supports 0.90 and it says no hot spots so its harder to find karbonite but the problem that i having most with is the KA-2500 partical collecter. i cant seem to find any karbonite around any planets so without the karbonite i cant collect any karbonite in space.
can someone tell me how to find karbonite easyer in space? it would be really helpful.
thanks:Khappy:

We could use a bit more informations, what are you using as Karbonite version? Is it ORSX based or Regolith? the author changed this recently.

Karbonite is concentration based, so you should be able to get karbonite almost everywhere, but it can be very long to extract if it's a low concentration.

You would get far more help if you post your issue on KSP forums, add-on releases, i guess very few people here use karbonite

I believe the show hotspots feature was removed from scanners entirely. So now, the only way to find hotspots is to drive around and keep an eye on the scanner. There's an easier option though....

If you get the latest dev version of ScanSat that has an option to scan for Karbonite from Orbit using the default Karbonite scanner. You can then mouse over the map it generates and it will give you concentrations and coordinates. Then it's simply using a mod such as MechJeb or Trajectories to find the coordinates and start digging.

Edit:
Also, from the main page on the forums: Note: Karbonite resources will be randomized on a per save basis!

So yah... I'd love to point you somewhere but I can't. :p

Also...
The Particle Collectors are designed to be used more passivly over time....rather than an active harvesting method. They are best as part of a space station, or even a deep-space tug...something ya let alone for periods of time, and come back to.

The particle collector is not used in depe space. It is meant to be used within a short distance from teh edge of the planet's atmosphere, but not quite in it. You would probably have the best luck at jool, which has a lot of atmopsheric karbonite.
