So for those of you that are wanting to mine the resource I have a quick little spill about it and how to succeed at mining and selling it.
First thing you want to watch out for is that lovely warning light on your ship. There are 3 phases to this light.
Phase 1 is a slow beep with a yellow light indicating that the material is becoming unstable, this light will start to flash depending on a few different variables that have to deal with your ship. Thruster use, hard landings, mainly things that have an effect on the g-forces applied to your ship. I have seen it go into phase 1 as early as 7min from extracting to as late as 18min 45seconds.
Phase 2 is the yellow flashing light with beeping but faster and more annoying. Phase 2 times have varied from 5min up to 9min but I'm sure there are ways to make that happen quicker or slower.
Phase 3 Red flashing light with very rapid beeping. This means you have less than 30 seconds to jettision your cargo. With the Mole this is accomplished by using your interact key and using your mouse to click on the "jettison cargo" that shows up over the light. (as of this posting I have not done it in the prospector but I have been told its jettisoned through the hatch on the aft section of the ship on the outside) << Has not been confirmed.
If you get back to an area where you can store your ship, storing your ship STOPS THE DECAY of the cargo so that will give you more time to sell it.
But M1th what if I don't want to Jettison that wonderful valuable cargo I just mined out into space? I'm glad you asked testie, well if you don't jettison this wonderful pricey cargo then it will become even more expensive when it blows up your ship.
Now if you do happen to get some of this ORE mined and sold there are a few things I would love to hear from you all about it.
From the time that you extracted it into your ship to the time you got to each of the phases, 1,2,3. That way we can see if there is a good average to base it off of.
Did you happen to have any bumps in the "road" as you were trying to get it back to sell it?
Did you blow up your ship?
Did you find mining it easy or harder than other ores?
Do you think you will search out just this ORE to mine?
Do you have any tips for making this process easier that you have found that you would like to pass on?
Let me know what you guys think, I'm always happy to hear of others success stories.
