Best way to minig ?

[Mr.Unknown]

Hi, Im new and not good in english but I want to know if is there better way to mine minerals or not. I just looking on numbers when Im mining and when I start it show 40 dmg to mined thing but when my mining gun start heating it show 80 - 100 dmg, this is 2,5x more than cooled weapon, so i start mining and when Im close to overheat I just stop mining for 1 sec and mine again, this save many times cuz you can mining 2,5x faster, after some practie I can mining that way and best place is cave full of cobalt minerals, just hold mining and using heated mining weapon, after some minutes I have thousands of cobalt minerals and it is best way to gain not small money... So is this best way to mining minerals or is there better way ? Thx for answers :)

Yes, you're doing it right. After you get a couple s-class mining modules, you'll be able to stay in that "hot zone" longer without overheating.

If you're mining to make money, you should try to get an indium drive and go to blue systems. Look for planets with activated indium on them, and mine them with the smallest size with your terrain manipulator (default key is R to make it smaller). You can sell it for a decent amount of units, or refine it for a ton of chromatic metal.

Ahh THX... chromatic material is most used in my game and finding cooper is anoying, Im new but every help is good, THX much :)

Mineral Extractor, and supply depots from the nexus vender is the best way, but it requires some set up, and investment to get going. What i did was....

1: get the survey visor/scanner
2: Find a planet with ACTIVATED Copper
3: find a copper hotspot, with your visor preferably S but a B or A is fine honestly.
4: Set up a portal or a portal room toss up some power to run it while electromagnetic hot spot is the best it's not always reliable, so using batteries and solar panels will work but you'll have to figure out how many you end up needing.
5: Drop down a refiner and a couple supply depots

I earn around 1500 activated copper every hour, and by the time i need it again its normally ready to be harvested again.

Hope this helps

Copper, cadmium, emeril, and indium all refine into chromatic metal, with them listed in order of efficiency. The activated version further improves efficiency. Basically, activated indium is 8x better than copper!

[Cmdr Wispa]

Get the medium or large refiner and you can refine infinite chromatic metal

Well, I produce any demanded amounts of chromatic via refiners, it's a true magic alchemy.

Friendly tip: if you find subterranean relics, you hit a gold mine. With one extra step that i won't spoil.

+1 I like this tips :)

[BORDILLE]

Could you explain (with spoiler warning) why this is a gold mine ? I probably missed something :)

[Tsvetomir]

For me the gold mine is planet with "salvage parts", each 300 m you find a centuries old part that sell for a lot of money.
