NIvidium Mining Where?

[Stevie Lee]

I was goofing around shooting Nividium asteroids yesterday somewhere, thinking they were useless, now I need them for research. I backtracked to everywhere I can think of, but no luck locating them. Anyone know a good spot to mine Nividium?

Anywhere you see red areas on the map or even purple (gas and mineral). Use the legend if you're not sure what I mean and it's good for figuring out other icons etc.

Buy and deploy resource beacons is the easiest way to track Nividium locations. They're cheap and you can make good money selling Nividium.

Resource beacons have a 3km range, not very much. If you deploy a beacon and it shows no resources or very little, reclaim the beacon and redeploy somewhere else. With a 3km range you don't need to go that far before deploying another one. Just try to find locations dense in mineral asteroids. You don't have to do this yourself, you can just use another ship to deploy resource beacons in various places while you do other stuff. And use a small or medium sized ship.

You probably will have a hard time getting large amounts to show so any amount is decent. I've got 2 Nividium miners and they can make 250-315k or so on each run traveling 1-2 sectors. I could get more and might but I don't want to saturate the market as there's not a huge demand for Nividium.

Grand Exchange. Order one of your miners to automine nividium, then catch him before he sells it.

Try Holy Vision my favorite place to mine Nividium. Let a mining ship do it for you after he is full you can tell him to sell and after trade he will continue to mine after trade, Use Default Behavior to mine Nividium, when full just sell off or transfer wares with your Station for your research. Try not to mine too much at a time if you are using multiple Nividium miners or you may have ships waiting for a place to unload.

Trinity Sanctum III is a nice central location on the highway belt. You can get about six to seven medium miners on it at a time after finding all the trading stations. Until the Xenon get wise and start sending K's to greet your miners at the stations.

Thanks all, I found some on my way to first suggestion just randomly turning scanner on; Nividium asteroids are purple in scanner in case anyone was wondering.

All my Probes come back with a reading of Nividium 0.00xx Is that normal? I seem to remember there being more?

That was before the days of the Great Nividium Nerf.

Confirmed. For the first tranche of research. It will get mined out quite quickly in GE. Try Antigone Memorial next. The advantage of Antigone is there's no trade station there to buy it so the miner will sit still after filling it's hold. I missed a couple of loads in GE to the bloody trade station there not laying close enough attention

found a really easy war mission from ARG ...

got a whole mineral transporter with 40000t and 2000 Nividium cargo ,, also two 4 star pilots !

LOOK in the ARG region for it, even I had that missions from earth to destabilize the region :-) , but already at +20 standings, as I don't have the money to afford what is needed to do the missions LOL

Anyway THERE are "easy missions" hiden everywhere, where you could get Nividium !

A faction-appropriate L miner with good crew, purple shield and blue engine mod and 2k nvidium in storage is a possible reward for most guild missions, mostly the station building and fleet gathering ones.

Otherwise Hatikvah's Choice III, Antigone Memorial, Second Contact II or Trinity Sanctum VII are your best bet afaik.

my mission was EASY af ... drop 3 sat , then 5 mines, after that 3 laser and than transport one person (that 4 star pilot) to another station , there he joined you and you got that ship you mentioned ... as I said, it was the most easy missions I have done in that game , somehow even that normal EASY missions are harder :-)

It is April 2022 and Nividium is non-existence. It was all over the map by the bucket full and now it has been nerf soo bad that it does not exist. Tell the devs to stop nerfing everything. Especially resources. I don't care if it is a bucket full, Just stop nerfing resources, It will still take time to mine it and haul it back. What good is an economy without resources? Grrr
