Nvidium

[jasonbarron]

What is it used for in X4?

[TheLuckyAce]

No clue... but my Miners get 250k each run from it... have 6 Argon Drill just doing Nividium.... every 20min I cash in 250k for each of them... but I did not found out for that it was used so far...

[First5trike]

I think I saw some of the ship mods use it. But it should be a more widely used commodity.

To boost your income at the start of the game by selling it to trade stations. Other then that - nothing. Once you deplete the demand of those stations you will never be able to sell any more.

To make you lots.. and lots.. and lots of money. Shhh.

My first Nividuim Miner started after 2h of Gameplay... the last of the 6 after around 10h.... I have more than 30h played... and they still sell it for 250k each... I doubt that you will reach the "limit" fast...

V-1.30 now includes some products that need Nvidium.

When 1.3 came out first thing i did was farmed some crystals to buy L miner. With just one i started to mine nividium. Each trip would give me around 1,4 mil i think.

Each Crane mineral miner worth 4,5-4,8 mil for me. After you get 3 L miners income is really nice, but then it doesn't last long.

I used all profit to buy more miners. When i reached 7 miners in total i could not sell any more of it because trade station would not need more.

If you had one M miner in 10 hours mining then it sounds true.

Too bad it's not used more generally in production. I saw that sales of it had stalled out and was wondering if I could stimulate it somehow.

Nividium (ware)
A rare metal found in small pockets in asteroids, Nividium has been cut out of any economic use by the improved efficiency with which businesses have been able to use ore and silicon, much easier to find and cheaper to process. However, Nividium is still valuable, and is often transported planet-side to be made into jewelry and art.

Ware price 434 to 587 credits (range: 153)
Ware type Solid
Ware subtype Minerals
Ware volume 10
Ware ID (for devs) nividium

Note: This ware can not be constructed?


Also thats what I found on Roguey's page.

Just had an idea and it worked.

This is one of the stations i fed up with nividium at the start of the game:

Only accept 892 more nividium. Since automining wouldn't trade to stations with demand less than what miner has in cargo, i stopped at it.

Now, how would you make more space in station for more nividium?

Like that, lmao:

Not only it means 19000 nividium flying right outside of station, it also means station will gladly buy it back :D

Those 2 freighters are parked there for a reason!

Hacking ftw.

PS: nividium is only a fraction of wares flying there.

I would love to be able to start doing anything with planets since they are there and just the idea of making commodities for a more diverse universe would be nice as well such as keep station population happy to prevent them from defectingetc..

[Sabaithal]

For the player, its used for ships mods, and a few research project. No station modules rely on it however.

But for some reason all trading stations (Except paranid ones) buy it regularly, and demand does recharge periodically. So I just have an autominer in each one of those sectors (if viable).
