Gold pots should reduce mining to one hit.
I hate gold pots, I hate people that order them, I hate everything related to gold in this game; but most of all I hate you the reader.

But why not fix all of this?

Keep all current buffs from gold pots and also make the mining one hit for gold. Then everyone is happy, those that need the gold and those that don't.

This will never happen, I still don't know for what reason; so this is the compromise.

Just use a mod:

Joking aside, your suggestion would make myself as well cringe less when pots o' gold is ordered.

I have seen many people having an issue with gold in general, but even more people having an issue with Pots o gold buff. Because it pushed people to mine gold, while it also takes a lot longer to do so (need molly all the time). And this conflicts in peoples enjoyment.
I dont think giving players a buff should be something they hate, if it is then there needs to be a rebalance. Making gold 1 hit from drinking Pots o gold would eleviate the issue quite a bit.

To be fair, people going "oh there's too much gold, I can't carry all this gold, ah the struggle" is a non-issue.

On the actual issue, gold being 1 hit with pots would be nice, gold being 1 hit at all times would feel kinda weird gameplay wise at this point. I like that it's a bit difficult to mine at times since it's a bonus thing, unlike nitra which is absolutely necessary to be able to play the game.
However, gold does need a buff so it's worth the extra effort imho, easiest solution would be to just make it give a lot more exp.

gold doesnt need its value buffed because it's not supposed to be the primary source of a player's income. you will always make money fastest by completing missions and assignments.
that's how it should be, because if you made gold more valuable you'd just get turbosweats licking every single cave wall clean and throwing a tantrum if someone wants to leave and get on with their life

the problem is that people don't perceive gold as valuable, or worth their time, because the slow rate at which it is mined conflicts with how little it pays out
it sounds shady, but the best way to "fix" gold would essentially be to reduce its barrier to acquisition, which will in turn balance out its value in a player's mind
its "i took this long to mine all that gold and it only paid me 300 credits? screw this" vs "it's not worth much, but it only took me a second to mine it out, so whatever"

It's fine as-is. Gold is worth more than people pretend it is, if you grab it fast then it can pay out more than the mission and that's only strengthened with pots.

Crassus gold should be made 1-hit again tho

This has literally been disproven. The only thing I could see working is having a Cheeto dust huffing one shot one EPC Driller; and those are too rare to count.

disproven by who lmao, people on the forums who talk about stuff without actually trying it?
same as the people "disproving" that sludge is busted in single-target?

Steam won't let me upload a screenshot but this mission has 2136 credits in gold in 16:42 while grabbing all the secondaries and events, which is definitely beating out the mission + secondary + survival payout, without really sacrificing time on quick mission completion. You can grab gold AND finish fast, it isn't hard.

If you're being thorough, you can add 2-5 minutes for gold and get payout that would demand another mission or two to match - you're getting paid more for grabbing it, and losing out if you skip it. This is before considering something like pots, ofc

but I know that you won't believe that, so how about some half-assed gold grabbing on a fast mission?

sure looks like it's over the mission to me, and in the same kind of time that the mission takes normally. you need two mission to get what i'd got in one because you're skipping lol

another, just to say it's consistent
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2910513209

or does they not count because it's a short mission? not that it matters for the 2136-in-gold mission, that would match a long one.

"cherry picked" aka can be literally any mission lol ok

unless you're getting 3-min completion times like actual speedrunners, you're losing money by skipping gold. it's as simple as that.

whether you care about that is up to you, it's not like missing out on credits is hurting anybody but the greenbeards who'll be ignoring this anyways. not too far off from how i'd grab the gold even if it was as worthless as the Forum Experts™ pretended, just because collecting shiny rocks makes my lizard brain happy
