How to search for crafting wares

[0x41414141]

Game is asking me to craft something for a quest. Is there any way to search for crafting wares or do I need to manually visit traders?

There is also items that you can't make or buy. Items that are rare drops from killing enemy ships. Also items that are rare drops from activities like mining and illegal items which your pilots will not pick up whiteout player intervention.

Would help new players if the encyclopedia was updated to cover these special items, perhaps some day.

I have a quest that requires Spacefly caviar and I have less than half the eggs needed to craft what I need. I might have to jump back in a miner and bust some rocks as I can not find any info on obtaining them by any means other than mining.

Can miners collect the crafting drops if you tell them to or are those only for the player to see/collect?

I recommend while your doing that to crack them open in a busy mining location

NPC mining can quickly reveal eggs and lodestone

These don’t pop up unless your IS

Manually visit. This is one of those things where you ask yourself whther the devs have any clue what game they actually want to make. At least we don't have farmvile built-in.

I don't know what this crafting / quest system is supposed to be in a game that builds on scale and "(trade) empire" building. And I often hear sandbox word dropped, but the game is again then designed on many levels to play only one anticipated way.

There is no real pirate playstyle with scale and automation on pirating concept.

The balance is around not playing role with one empire vs. others and any move outside and behind the line that surrounds you tightly leads to all sort of problems. I was hoping that the game has introduced some pircacy playstyle with TIDE DLC, but I was thinking to much out of the box for egosoft.

You still can't even properly bord ships without manually disabling turrets on all participating ships, despite there being a placebo option how they should handle the bording - disable turrets? blow up shi!, disable engines? blow up ship! I guess in a sense the goal is achieved...

I have notice that when player is near by when the miners busting asteroid rocks the eggs and all those crystals drop more and you can set one of those scouts like the one you show on the screenshot above. don;t know if you know it, but before you give him the order to "Collect Drops" first you go to behavior tab on that ship and set him to Repeat Orders then give him the order "Collect Drops".


Also if you want to collect fast the eggs just get in to the fastest ship you have with one pulse laser or just any fast gun. fly in to an asteroid open the scan mode and boost to all the small rocks big rocks do too but small are better. And look for the glow patches, shoot them with the gun every now and then they will drop either Lordestone/Unstable Crystal or space eggs. Don't bother with mining ship, just go shoot the glowing patches they drop Ore/Silicon if no eggs or crystals drop just move to the next.
