Resources in each sector?

[Gurith]

Hello,

Is there a map or database that would indicate what resource we can find in each sector?
(resource prob with a 3km radius is useless)


Thank you,

I’ve never found such a database.

However, you can usually get a good idea of what resources are in each sector by selecting a miner and then right clicking around the sector to see what the mine option in the context menu shows.

The sector mining menu will only show resource available in the current sector? (that would help)

not that i'm aware of (in terms of sector mining), tho i could be wrong

what i do is set them to mine the resource i want, they then look to see if they can mine that mineral. if they head off, they can mine it (resource is there). if they don't and just look clueless, resource isn't there

Using a default behavior like automine won’t show you what’s in the sector unfortunately, not directly. The method I described is very much a workaround in the absence of a better of solution.

By this point though I’ve learned generally what resources are where, the only hard one to come by, largely, is Methane but there are a few sectors I know it can be gotten.

What is Resource probe for $500. I love dropping these and waiting to see what goodies are there, why would you want to bypass the fun?

I'd love to understand the mechanics better and if/how Miners benefit from a fully explored via probe(s) sector or are they just for the players knowledge and Miners just puddle around mining blindly.
