What system is best for auto-nvidium miners?
Hello all,

So I have 2 silicone miners, and 2 nvidium miners right now. And, so far, I haven't seen any profit messages from my nvidium miners. But I have seen messages about my Silicone miners. So I wanted to ask, what system is better for my nvidium miners then argon prime? Because, clearly, that system isn't working.

Nividium is sold to trading stations. So a system need one and a source of nividium. Note that subsectors such as grand exchange I,II and IV are counted as one sector so a sector miner will work in all 3. A rule of thumb for sectors like this is they will all have the same name.

Nividium auto-mine sytems:
Grand Exchange, Black hole sun, Hatikvah's Choice, Hewa's Twin and Ianamus Zura. Tharka's Ravine could also be a possibility.

I use Grand Exchange, near the Trade Station. The miner will travel all 3 zones.

Thanks! You use auto-miners? Advanced Auto-miners?

It might be random but try the system with the hq in it and the two next to it. There should be a teladi trade station in one of the systems. It might be the least likeliest to have nvidium.

You can also build a station with solid storage. Drop in some nvidium and assign a miner to it. Then manually change the storage amount of nvidium. Use another miner to sell the nvidium manually to teladi, argon, hat and ant trade stations.

Grand Exchange(with 3 Zones) is the Sector with the HQ and The Trade Station.
Just use "automine", distance does not matter because you are only working in one Sector. The 3 zones of the Grand Exchange Sector counts as just one Sector. Start the miner up in any of those 3 zones of Grand Exchange and the miner will find the best source of Nividium to mine.

Advanced automine is better. If you just use sector automine, the value you receive per haul will go down and eventually stop once the trading station is full. You'll need to watch for this and move the miner to another sector. The nice thing about GE and BHS is the trading stations are in adjacent sectors.

With advanced autominer, you can set it up once and forget about it.

Thanks all! I have an ore and silicone miner in Black Hole Sun Already. I'm going to try and send one of my nvidium miners over there now too.

Also, I'm waiting for my miners to skill up enough to get an advaced auto-miner going. Sadly, I only have 1 and 2 star pilots atm. I'm working on getting a 3 start pilot going right now, but its slow going. Mostly I'm just sitting behind her, while she flys around exploring.

Which race is the one with the red ships? I kinda wanna get a couple auto-miners in there, to increase my rep with them. Just so I can buy those ships. They look snazy imo.
