@@LordRenegrade Which is what FDev seem to aim to do. Of course, it does not matter if one career is ten times (or more) as profitable the way it was two weeks ago, or of it is 10% more profitable, the crybabies will still complain that there is only one valid way to play the game. One interesting immediate effect of fixing the _bug_ that painite demand was resetting too fast is that painite top selling prices are not lasting for very long anymore, which is as it should be.

The best part about this video is that they are nerfing mining as we speak without balancing everything else. They are just nerfing mining right now and then they're going to visit the other things later. So we're going to have a state in the game where nothing makes good money
@@ZeroJ That is my worry too. I have a funny feeling that after mining nerf, other things - if those ever get any attention - will be bumped 10% maybe and left like that... I have enough money to survive for a while but new players seeing this will just abandon the game and find something better to do... I may even come back to NMS full time...
@@melhiore Mining deserves to be nerfed. It's insane how much money one can make with it even at an intermediate level. And one way or another, this is what combat fanatics wanted. They were constantly complaining about being forced to mine to make top credits. If mining isn't more profitable than anything else then they aren't forced to do it. New players, who abandon the game because they can't make tons of credits in a short time, wouldn't have lasted for too long anyway. Quitters are quitters, no matter what.
@@mlblaca For me FDev started to do balancing wrong way round. Instead of nerfing mining that is currently the only way to make money really, they should buff the other stuff, verify and then balance things if needed. I am telling you that we are going to be left with broken game balanced in the wrong way... You see I hate mining - there are others like me, I do that only if I really have to so having other ways to make reasonable money will sort our mining problem in no time...

@@kachkeis6920 - yeah, I'm logging on right now to empty my carrier just in case. Don't want to be caught with like ten billion credits errr whoops now twenty thousand credits of painite in the hold heh.
I suggest Type 9 (when you get enough money just to have dedicated ships laying around) and run flight assist off so you have some gameplay when zapping asteroids.
Something to add, when deep core mining, having someone in the gunner role is very beneficial. They see the pulse wave, but their view isn’t limited to the cockpit. The gunner can see all around the ship.
I actually really enjoy mining as a relaxing thing that I do while I'm working. I will just use regular mining lasers to clear out an asteroid, and get some more work done while my couple of collector drones do their thing.
I'm looking for a game to do this with! Used to do it with EVE Online back in the day. If i'm able to afk with drones pick up the loot that sounds fun. It seems like I have to manually laser first though?
I could live without supercruise assist, I only ever use it when I need to AFK or manage something on the galaxy map since it doesn’t go as fast as it could. But docking is so much faster and safer with the computer.
Yeah I'd always recommend a shield, At very least if you happen get interdicted, it buys you time until you can jump again. Or as I found out the hard way, not all asteroids spawn in at once when you cruising looking for cores. Was cruising along had 4 pips to engine to cover the most ground, saw a possible core light up, turned in to get a better look. I was flying straight for it and a asteroid literally just popped in right in front of me, rammed right into it, and lost 50% of my hull. Lesson learned.
I've seriously done everything, arrived at atleast more than 10 planets with rings and I've scanned their rings for opal hotspots, searched the hotspots and tried the method where they say oh the more yellow the rock is the more probability to find a fisure with something inside, I'm seriously trying to enjoy the game but the fact that I've spent more than 10 hours trying to find atleast 1 void opal which isn't really that rare or atleast it shouldn't be for the ammount I've mined it's seriously making me not wanting to play the game, and I was enjoying it alot :(
Void opals hotspots can only be found in ICY rings and when using pulsewave scanner look for a CONSISTENT bright glowing rock once ur used to seeing non core rocks u can easily spot the core rock, and when you see it commit its shape to memory. For finding core asteroids, they have to be big or medium big and NOT the huge chunky ones and some of them look spiky, and it needs have some rough spots around it use NIGHT VISION to easily see the fissures (Note when u see smooth surface on the rock ignore its 100% NOT a core rock) , and when u finally see a core asteroid look for LOW strength fissures or AVERAGE, shoot the LOW strength with HIGH strength shots with seismic charge so that u only need to set up around 2-3 seismic charges in total to get on the sweet spot. Use websites like eddb.io to find an icy ring just hit your reference system (where u are currently) and set the ring type to ICY, the system reserves doesn't matter when it comes to core mining. Good luck cmdr o7
@@lt.k4t503 i tried all this dude it doesnt work besides the fact it took a full fucking hour to find out how eddb works still not finding cores enough to make any real profit 1 fucking asteroid to crack an hour im doing better with fucking LTD's they should stop the fucking bullshit and make it appear more or cut the damn bullshit and make the PWA work propperly and just point you only specificly to core asteroids
One thing that might help with deep core mining is to have a ship faster than a T-9, or if you can engineer the T-9 above a snail's pace. I had trouble with it because I spent so much more time between asteroids and it was less profitable than my python despite the increased cargo space as a result. I imagine it still works great with laser mining though, or if you get lucky in an overlapped hotspot as you don't have to move around as much with either (I mostly do deep core for the big boom, so I don't know laser as well).
@@tidalforces3880 - Grandidierite cores only ever annoy me because I never carry core mining gear anymore. It goes for 752k right now. I would totally mine it. Bromellite, on the other hand, is 8.8k.
@@sterby1 - true. I sometimes pick up missions to get the G5 materials they'll sometimes offer. Of course the moment I do that, the damn material vanishes ;)
The thing about night vision is not used to find rocks, it's to confirm them. After some time you will notice certain shades and other things on how the rock glows with the scanner. And some of them are more likely to have a core. But a chance. So if you don't want to waste your prospectors, you aproach the suspect, and check if you can spot the fissures with are somewhat visible with NV. They have a specific almost cobweb look to them this way
I use night mode when it’s … dark as shit out and I can’t see what I’m trying to blow up / what’s trying to blow me up. That’s a good tip to know for if I ever go mining.
I think after rebalance the mining will be in a good spot. Yes standard laser mining of painite was paying too much compared to everything else. And deep core pays too little for mining. Haz RES overlap mining is in correct spot as the ship needs to be able to do some combat and is more risky. The price rebalance will reduce Painite and LTD prices and also keep VO in line however it seems to hint that other deep core minerals are receiving a buff (Serendibite, alexandrite, benitoite, grandiderite, monazite, musgravite)
@@matejschwartz6900 everyone keeps talking about the buff to core mining but ignores the fact that you pretty much can't core mine at the moment because the pulse wave scanner is still broken for the 3rd or 4th month with no planned date for a fix
The easy examples of how the different mining tools work together will probably stay useful for a long time. Exactly what to do where however will change over time.
@@matejschwartz6900 They literally just need to tank the prices if too many people sell a single commodity. Just a bit more aggressive price fluctuations, like in No Mans Sky. Supply demand, mf, go mine some gold now.
Well I guess I'll try mining. And thank you. For reminding me about the fuel scoop. It does come in handy. And I have not been stuck in space no more. So thanks again.
@@hasfidanken I used this guide after playing for 5 days, 3 of which was just doing courier missions between dromi and matet and not watching RUclips or using any 3rd party tools. Basic setup section explained a lot.
@@jake413 I'm talking about all the things that are going to get broken and/or unplayable due to bugs and domino effects they didn't anticipate, like every time they do this.
@@jake413 theyre doing a massive nerf to painite and low temperature diamonds but they're buffing the other core mining materials by an undisclosed amount. This is a massive nerf because currently you can't core mine due to the fact that the pulse wave scanner hasn't worked since August and fdev has no plans to fix it. Essentially laser mining is taking a 60% nerf in profits and there is no compensation in any other areas
if you look to sell your hold and found the system to go to, you can open the map to look for the station where you need to go and target it so you know where to go to when you enter the system
Laser mining is getting nerfed by a huge percentage next week and the "buffs" to compensate for it are unusable due to the pulse wave scanner still being busted beyond use. It really looks like fdev is going to be pushing out the shitty patch that we all expected
Thank god youtube made it to where you could title different segments cause this video overcomplicates a basic walkthrough. I do appreciate the high quality, but gosh dang I just want a quick and easy answer.
Your videos are great. 😂🤣🤣 Watching this one in preperation for trying the EGS giveaway. Maybe. Would like to see your take on Angels Fall First someday.
It's perfectly safe to mine without shields (barring mishaps), but getting the cargo to a profitable place to sell it out might be trickier (if one of those aforementioned mishaps happens during an interdiction).
@@whydoihavetodothisannoying I thought that too, until a hatchbreaker limpet spilled out 40 or so LCDs into space while I surrender-boosted. Sure, I got complacent, and shields might not have helped, but the point is, mistakes happen, and when they do, shields buy the time needed to fix them, as often as not.
@@joekilker6373 Wasn't talking about submitting, NPC attackers are so bad it's been more years than I can remember since I legit got successfully pulled by one.

Even with having to throttle up out of submission they still didn't stand a chance.
All you do is mine, sell it, and that's it...cant use it to craft, no point of controlling regions for ressources...very shallow game. Mining got to matter, or else its an empty activity. But ed has the best mining system in all space games.
I stuffed a fighter bay and a cap 32 cargo bay in my Keelback to deep core. I do a decent job on hauls, but need protection because I have no offensive stuff.
I watched this video and still dont know what I'm actually supposed to do. I just want a simple video that someone can speak clear and concise english and doesn't drag on, with a step by step guide of them actually minning. This is titled "Beginners guide" and starts off by saying the ship to use is the Cutter, Type 9, and python?........."BEGINNERS GUIDE"
earning early money is hard, just as in real life making money is easier with money I recommend first hunting bounties/exploration, then trading from hauler to type 9 until you can afford to mine type in elite dangerous trade loop and go on the eddb page to find a good trade route
@@jakejones8225 That's not really the point. If someone is watching a "begginer's guide" of anything, they're probably expecting the video to be aimed at beginners. You know; someone just starting out. So, how would such a player even know what these ships are? Or where to find them? Or, even if they do know, as a beginner they probably don't even have the funds for them, which kind of questions why these ships are the first thing mentioned in the video? Just throws the beginner off with "wth am I watching right now?" Maybe start with the beginner ship that people get. Can it be used for mining? How do you have to prepare it for mining? Or do you simply need to buy a new ship before even being able to mine? etc. Some late-game expensive ship is no help for a beginner, nor is pretty much most of the stuff that was included in the video, when a beginner has no idea what he's talking about.
I found this video to be far to vague it seems this video is missing actual details and forgets to explain what keys to hit instead of when you get close "just get it or you know just do it" i'll never understand how anyone is supposed to understand such vaugue explanations as just do it instead of explaining to hit key to scan this then when you get close hit this key.I had to find a video from a player that had the same issues and took thew time to explain in detail and i learned so much I would not of understood otherwise and would have just quit playing. I'm glad i stuck thru it i find the game fun and now i'm more experienced i understand this video better talking with So many new players on verge of quitting like i was because of this lack of understanding the game going thu tons of videos where they tell new players to just do certain things with out explaining what keys to push to actually get things done i'm glad i found a single video where the player i talked about was in the same boat and another player explained everything to him and he made a detailed video for all the confused new players sick of hearing vague descriptions of what to do.

I am mining everything common in the rich metal haz rez as it makes filling my type 10 easy with gold and a few others high value common items till I am outta limpits.
Can you please make a complete beginners guide on engineering? I've been playing elite for few months now but I've never managed to figure out how engineering works.
they should add stations or places dedicated for refine materials like big bases stablished in the space or between asteroids that are manned by players. And there is something on eve online like the planetary resource extraction and moon mining that could serve for ideas on this game to.
Sign the petition to keep this game on xbox one and PlayStation. If elite dangerous decides to cutt console users off. It will kill it off for PC users aswell we are a fun community that loves this game. I'm an xbox one user and I experienced this game for free on game pass. When they took it off I immediately bought it. Please stick together guys your our only hope! Thank you Commanders.
It's kind of crazy how my almost 2 day trip out of the bubble and back selling discovery and universal cartographic data has been completely invalidated by 2 hours of mining.
Is there one type of mining that is the most profitable? So I dont necessarily have to make a dedicated mining ship, but an exploration ship with some mining capabilities if there are some juicy rocks nearby
Point deffense system near cargo rack. U don't want to get fucked by a hatchbreaker and lose loads of cargo. Also, core asteroids can typically be cracked open w/ a couple of charges at max intensity in LOW resistance fissures, and a low intensity charge in a HIGH resistance one.
Good video but I was hoping it was a beginners guide to mining. The ships you talk about are very big but cost millions to get. A beginner guide I was hoping you would talk about the sidewinder your first ship eg beginner or how about the next ship up from that like the cobra mk 3 or similar. Its a goid video but if I was already in a large top tier ship. I woukd most likely be making all kinds of credits. Good video but not alot of help for beginners.
You can apply the same principles for smaller ones. in fact i did not talk too much about ships in the first place as I expect everyone to tailor their own builds KNOWING this info
For me it’s not the techniques that I’m unsure about, it’s where to actually get the stuff I need to actually do the mining, all I can get is mining lasers and basic internals, let alone commodities like prospector limpets and scanners.
If you use the eddb website you can go to the stations section. This lets you find nearby stations based on what ships or modules they sell. I'd also recommend filtering for Li Yong-Rui as stations in his space offer a 15% discount on ships and modules. This also lowers your rebuy cost. Additionally, you can build a ship using the coriolis . io website and in the top right there should be a button that says "Stations that sell this build". Clicking it sends you to the eddb stations tab with all the modules and the ship field filled out. You just need to put the system you're in under "Reference System" and any other fields you want. If there are no nearby systems, I'd recommend removing the cheapest module, search again, repeat
I haven't played in years, which puts me in the odd position of havingto watch a mining tutorial before I got out mining in my fully loaded cutter o.O I have no idea what I'm doing, I barely remember how to fly.
Where do I find these things (no third party tools) as my station doesn't sell them? I need to buy a prospector limpit and DSS Although the guys talking about odd numbers and ascending hierarchy? I don't know what any of that means. I just want to mine man.
Well very new to the game. Very sharp learning curve. Spent 2 hours to make 40k with a mining laser. One Adder less than five minutes 1.2 million. Are some mechanics in this game unbalanced..... yeah. Some guns just blast harder.
I didn't mine since EDO release. Is it still decent to make some CR? Just basic laser painite mining in EDO or EDH. I know doing inara trade routes is just OP (reliable) but it is just not for me lol... I'll rather mine for an hour or two.
Honestly, I am somewhat done with the game. They might get me back in if the new Odssey expansion is actually able to deliver space legs and they add ship interiors and allow us more of a player economy... You know, let the players shape the game and actually give us what they promised, but I have my doubts. The last major addition... The fleet carriers, was shit. So, I am honestly not going to hold my breath.
fleet carriers are actually pretty great for mining. I use mine as a sort of portable base where I will stock up till I have like 300 or more void opals. Come back restock limpets etc. Then when I am done have the carrier jump to the place I wanna sell em, make a bunch of money rinse and repeat. It's much better than having to commit to a run(if I start mining now I have to make enough to make the followin selling trip and risk of pirates worthwhile ) because you can just store your stuff for when you want to sell it. Also I can store other ships on it as well so I might use a dbx to travel to the places where I see the best prices on inara, to doublecheck them and then send my carrier there. Mining is just much more efficient if you have long term storage and can immediately restock limpets, refuel and repair hull. Just my 2 cents on how my FC has been super useful to me
@@user-xl8jm3zy1f those were helpful when LTD was everywhere and easy to find now LTD is nerfed and painite takes too long. For me it took 4 hours for 386t. If you wanna store painite to fleet i don't see much favor.
@@user-xl8jm3zy1f, that is good to hear. I am still a bit miffed about the upkeep costs and the fact that they are not shared amongst a squadron. I find them a bit too impractical, as I do not want to play the game often enough to avoid losing my fleet carrier. I also dislike the whole thing about their losing their resale value so quickly and... Well, if you watch Yamiks' videos, you have probably heard most of my complaints already from him. Still, it is nice to see someone enjoying them.
@@maruf7956 I still mine void opals lol. Never got on the LTD and painite hype. It works. And if it takes too long that's the beauty of carriers. Just pause your run, put what you have in the carrier then do something else. Then when you want to mine again just get your mining ship and you're fine
@@H.J.Fleischmann yeah I watched it as well but they changed it. The upkeep is ok(I got a bunch of services and for me it's 15mil a week which is nothing. I have enought in my carrier account for 40 weeks and the same again on my player. Mining go BRRRRR.) and for instance the travel time is 15 mins before jump and 5 after or something like that. Take my numbers with a grain of salt since this is just memory from using and not a spreadsheet but thats my opinion on those issues. And I definitely think they aren't for everyone. If you're a combat purist you won't see the value in keeping it around but for someone like me who mines a lot it's awesome and the upkeep is very maneagable
At 5:22, you said that limpets are odd sized number so I should skip somethin? WTF does that even mean? I need major help with fire group assignment, etc etc.
So what you said about avoiding NPCs, at the end. Does flying away also work if you have rocks on-board or only if you are empty? If I even have just one commodity I'm attacked immediately. Sure I blow them to shit and take their stuff, but still.
Only if your cargo is empty, though sometimes if you drop cargo fast enough the NPCs will be distracted and take that as payment Refinery contents don't count
how does the GD refinery work? I head to a platinum hotspot - shoot out a prospect - ship tells me it failed, but still does the glowy thing and then litttle targets everywhere that I blast off with abrason guns and next thing you know the whole area is just full of little chunks that i have manually targeta and shoot a collector? Ooooof two hours today and not one single platinum in a double layered hot spot. look at my refinery and it states its full but nothing is 100% so I 'vent' them whihch means i basically threw it all away yeah?
I’ve been watching ED videos for hours and I still don’t know how to do anything.

Knowing Yamiks, I'm sure he'd say to put them in Uranus...
up yur prison wallet
I could live without supercruise assist, I only ever use it when I need to AFK or manage something on the galaxy map since it doesn’t go as fast as it could. But docking is so much faster and safer with the computer.
@@caltheuntitled8021 safety? Pfft
Yeah I'd always recommend a shield, At very least if you happen get interdicted, it buys you time until you can jump again. Or as I found out the hard way, not all asteroids spawn in at once when you cruising looking for cores. Was cruising along had 4 pips to engine to cover the most ground, saw a possible core light up, turned in to get a better look. I was flying straight for it and a asteroid literally just popped in right in front of me, rammed right into it, and lost 50% of my hull. Lesson learned.
I've seriously done everything, arrived at atleast more than 10 planets with rings and I've scanned their rings for opal hotspots, searched the hotspots and tried the method where they say oh the more yellow the rock is the more probability to find a fisure with something inside, I'm seriously trying to enjoy the game but the fact that I've spent more than 10 hours trying to find atleast 1 void opal which isn't really that rare or atleast it shouldn't be for the ammount I've mined it's seriously making me not wanting to play the game, and I was enjoying it alot :(
Void opals hotspots can only be found in ICY rings and when using pulsewave scanner look for a CONSISTENT bright glowing rock once ur used to seeing non core rocks u can easily spot the core rock, and when you see it commit its shape to memory. For finding core asteroids, they have to be big or medium big and NOT the huge chunky ones and some of them look spiky, and it needs have some rough spots around it use NIGHT VISION to easily see the fissures (Note when u see smooth surface on the rock ignore its 100% NOT a core rock) , and when u finally see a core asteroid look for LOW strength fissures or AVERAGE, shoot the LOW strength with HIGH strength shots with seismic charge so that u only need to set up around 2-3 seismic charges in total to get on the sweet spot. Use websites like eddb.io to find an icy ring just hit your reference system (where u are currently) and set the ring type to ICY, the system reserves doesn't matter when it comes to core mining. Good luck cmdr o7
Agreed mining is aids and this game doesnt help at all. Seems like something only people with money can enjoy
@@lt.k4t503 i tried all this dude it doesnt work besides the fact it took a full fucking hour to find out how eddb works still not finding cores enough to make any real profit 1 fucking asteroid to crack an hour im doing better with fucking LTD's they should stop the fucking bullshit and make it appear more or cut the damn bullshit and make the PWA work propperly and just point you only specificly to core asteroids
One thing that might help with deep core mining is to have a ship faster than a T-9, or if you can engineer the T-9 above a snail's pace. I had trouble with it because I spent so much more time between asteroids and it was less profitable than my python despite the increased cargo space as a result. I imagine it still works great with laser mining though, or if you get lucky in an overlapped hotspot as you don't have to move around as much with either (I mostly do deep core for the big boom, so I don't know laser as well).
I have an E:D crisis, only doing data missions in a Hauler at the moment.
Join someone's Bounty Hunting multi-crew and you can make money without even using your Hauler
0:52 core detected: BROMELLITE..... I F%&%$ hate that!!
@@tidalforces3880 - Grandidierite cores only ever annoy me because I never carry core mining gear anymore. It goes for 752k right now. I would totally mine it. Bromellite, on the other hand, is 8.8k.
@@LordRenegrade Just find some missions about mining bromellite and presto, you made some money out of it and Bob is your parents sibling
@@sterby1 - true. I sometimes pick up missions to get the G5 materials they'll sometimes offer. Of course the moment I do that, the damn material vanishes ;)
I solely mine grandedirite. 550-600k per tonne!
The thing about night vision is not used to find rocks, it's to confirm them. After some time you will notice certain shades and other things on how the rock glows with the scanner. And some of them are more likely to have a core. But a chance. So if you don't want to waste your prospectors, you aproach the suspect, and check if you can spot the fissures with are somewhat visible with NV. They have a specific almost cobweb look to them this way
I use night mode when it’s … dark as shit out and I can’t see what I’m trying to blow up / what’s trying to blow me up.
That’s a good tip to know for if I ever go mining.
That white spaceship that he has is quite the beauty if I do decide to get elite dangerous I'll try to go for that ship eventually
Came for the mining tutorial
Stayed for the innuendo and entertainment
I'm new to the game and your one of the few tutorial makers I've seen. Gotta say you got a new fan keep up the good work lmfak
Lol ..... Either too late or too early depending on how the rebalance shakes out
I think after rebalance the mining will be in a good spot. Yes standard laser mining of painite was paying too much compared to everything else. And deep core pays too little for mining. Haz RES overlap mining is in correct spot as the ship needs to be able to do some combat and is more risky. The price rebalance will reduce Painite and LTD prices and also keep VO in line however it seems to hint that other deep core minerals are receiving a buff (Serendibite, alexandrite, benitoite, grandiderite, monazite, musgravite)
@@matejschwartz6900 everyone keeps talking about the buff to core mining but ignores the fact that you pretty much can't core mine at the moment because the pulse wave scanner is still broken for the 3rd or 4th month with no planned date for a fix
Ignorant! Yamiks rolls on Yamiks time zone so Master Yamiks is always on time!!!!
The easy examples of how the different mining tools work together will probably stay useful for a long time.
Exactly what to do where however will change over time.
@@matejschwartz6900 They literally just need to tank the prices if too many people sell a single commodity. Just a bit more aggressive price fluctuations, like in No Mans Sky. Supply demand, mf, go mine some gold now.
You sir have the most entertaining presentation style in the universe! That in addition to good quality information = gold.
Well I guess I'll try mining. And thank you. For reminding me about the fuel scoop. It does come in handy. And I have not been stuck in space no more. So thanks again.
Corvette is a great mining ship, can get 458t with nearly 5000mjs shields, 3,200 hull plus 4 mining lasers and 2 huge/1 large beams for defence
Wow. Thank-you for a wonderful video. So well done. Subbed and liked!! =]
How is this a beginners guide, I literally don't understand a damn word of this.
I think I'm giving up on this game it's too impenetrable for me
Same
2:10 "Even a dildozer will do."
It's only a guide for mining. Not the complete game...
@@tomikun8057 still manages to explain not a damn thing about mining to beginners.
@@hasfidanken I used this guide after playing for 5 days, 3 of which was just doing courier missions between dromi and matet and not watching RUclips or using any 3rd party tools.
Basic setup section explained a lot.
lol, man I love your videos! well done on this particular one, this is actually a great guide which wont bored you.
11:20 that's why i love deep core mining
Until next week, when they break everything.
The mining changes look decent to me. At least they didn't obliterate the prices with the nerf hammer
@@jake413 I'm talking about all the things that are going to get broken and/or unplayable due to bugs and domino effects they didn't anticipate, like every time they do this.
@@jake413 theyre doing a massive nerf to painite and low temperature diamonds but they're buffing the other core mining materials by an undisclosed amount. This is a massive nerf because currently you can't core mine due to the fact that the pulse wave scanner hasn't worked since August and fdev has no plans to fix it.
Essentially laser mining is taking a 60% nerf in profits and there is no compensation in any other areas
@@user-jm8sy5ox2j they're working on fixing the pulse wave analyser
@@user-jm8sy5ox2j looks like they decrease painite to 600k/t so really more like 25-33% decrease
if you look to sell your hold and found the system to go to, you can open the map to look for the station where you need to go and target it so you know where to go to when you enter the system
Yamiks has finally explained mining to me!
Laser mining is getting nerfed by a huge percentage next week and the "buffs" to compensate for it are unusable due to the pulse wave scanner still being busted beyond use. It really looks like fdev is going to be pushing out the shitty patch that we all expected
"pulse wave scanner still being busted beyond use" What? It's working fine for me.
I just heard about this game yesterday, and bought this game yesterday.
Thank god youtube made it to where you could title different segments cause this video overcomplicates a basic walkthrough. I do appreciate the high quality, but gosh dang I just want a quick and easy answer.
how would then this be ULTIMATE?
@@TheYamiks yeah I should have watched the whole thing I still dont know wtf Im doing lmaoooo
I prefer more collector limpet than cargo, on the cutter, minimum of 4 5A, else you are really waiting after each rock (laser mining)
Am I in that video? I feel like I recognize the formation and paint jobs on those Imperial Cutters, and that T-9 is mine. :P
The Wiccan broom is parked somewhere near witch head and isn’t moving till space legs so yh just drifting till then
Your videos are great. 😂🤣🤣
Watching this one in preperation for trying the EGS giveaway. Maybe.
Would like to see your take on Angels Fall First someday.
It's perfectly safe to mine without shields (barring mishaps), but getting the cargo to a profitable place to sell it out might be trickier (if one of those aforementioned mishaps happens during an interdiction).
Just play solo... there has to be something seriously wrong, like getting a stroke during an interdiction to loose to an NPC. Even in a space cow.
@@whydoihavetodothisannoying I thought that too, until a hatchbreaker limpet spilled out 40 or so LCDs into space while I surrender-boosted. Sure, I got complacent, and shields might not have helped, but the point is, mistakes happen, and when they do, shields buy the time needed to fix them, as often as not.
@@joekilker6373 Wasn't talking about submitting, NPC attackers are so bad it's been more years than I can remember since I legit got successfully pulled by one.
Last week I parked my fully laden T9 close to a star and wen't to take a leak, could hear the interdiction start when I was walking back. Even with having to throttle up out of submission they still didn't stand a chance.
Thenk you. Helped me a lot.
All you do is mine, sell it, and that's it...cant use it to craft, no point of controlling regions for ressources...very shallow game. Mining got to matter, or else its an empty activity. But ed has the best mining system in all space games.
I stuffed a fighter bay and a cap 32 cargo bay in my Keelback to deep core. I do a decent job on hauls, but need protection because I have no offensive stuff.
Less jokes, more understandable. for all guiding videos.
I watched this video and still dont know what I'm actually supposed to do. I just want a simple video that someone can speak clear and concise english and doesn't drag on, with a step by step guide of them actually minning. This is titled "Beginners guide" and starts off by saying the ship to use is the Cutter, Type 9, and python?........."BEGINNERS GUIDE"
earning early money is hard, just as in real life making money is easier with money
I recommend first hunting bounties/exploration, then trading from hauler to type 9 until you can afford to mine
type in elite dangerous trade loop and go on the eddb page to find a good trade route
You learn ED by playing. You will improve but you can't quit. It takes time.
@@jakejones8225 That's not really the point.
If someone is watching a "begginer's guide" of anything, they're probably expecting the video to be aimed at beginners. You know; someone just starting out.
So, how would such a player even know what these ships are? Or where to find them? Or, even if they do know, as a beginner they probably don't even have the funds for them, which kind of questions why these ships are the first thing mentioned in the video? Just throws the beginner off with "wth am I watching right now?"
Maybe start with the beginner ship that people get. Can it be used for mining? How do you have to prepare it for mining? Or do you simply need to buy a new ship before even being able to mine? etc. Some late-game expensive ship is no help for a beginner, nor is pretty much most of the stuff that was included in the video, when a beginner has no idea what he's talking about.
"Shoot your probe up Uranus rings" I'm fkn dead lmao! 🤣🤣🤣
A big point you missed was hard point set up on the ship panel
This was a great video, and yes, I've now subscribed.
Literally was just wanting this video lol thanks
Very informative..
But you didn't tell us where we can get that awesome Jack-o-lantern dash accessory.
🤔
This was wonderfully entertaining!
I found this video to be far to vague it seems this video is missing actual details and forgets to explain what keys to hit instead of when you get close "just get it or you know just do it" i'll never understand how anyone is supposed to understand such vaugue explanations as just do it instead of explaining to hit key to scan this then when you get close hit this key.I had to find a video from a player that had the same issues and took thew time to explain in detail and i learned so much I would not of understood otherwise and would have just quit playing. I'm glad i stuck thru it i find the game fun and now i'm more experienced i understand this video better talking with So many new players on verge of quitting like i was because of this lack of understanding the game going thu tons of videos where they tell new players to just do certain things with out explaining what keys to push to actually get things done i'm glad i found a single video where the player i talked about was in the same boat and another player explained everything to him and he made a detailed video for all the confused new players sick of hearing vague descriptions of what to do. Here is the link! huge help! enjoy! ruclips.net/video/enZawlskFeQ/видео.html After watching that video then come back to this video and you will be able to understand this video so much better! Enjoy and good luck!
sheesh Yamiks , you make me think i need astroglide to do mining.
I didn't even know that there are tiers to the slots, thanks for that, my cargo capacity went from 50 to 96
Seismic changes. ....I'm at a loss for words
Instant 👍
I am mining everything common in the rich metal haz rez as it makes filling my type 10 easy with gold and a few others high value common items till I am outta limpits.
Can you please make a complete beginners guide on engineering? I've been playing elite for few months now but I've never managed to figure out how engineering works.
There's some existing work from Exigeous that might whelp whilst Yamicks gets his skates on
ruclips.net/p/PLRfYYnnOztJqmKkf2AtEOrphK4rDpXAXb
they should add stations or places dedicated for refine materials like big bases stablished in the space or between asteroids that are manned by players. And there is something on eve online like the planetary resource extraction and moon mining that could serve for ideas on this game to.
Sign the petition to keep this game on xbox one and PlayStation. If elite dangerous decides to cutt console users off. It will kill it off for PC users aswell we are a fun community that loves this game. I'm an xbox one user and I experienced this game for free on game pass. When they took it off I immediately bought it. Please stick together guys your our only hope! Thank you Commanders.
You made my day. I love your videos, you made me laugh pretty hard lol. And great info, thanks!
A beginners guide should focus on beginner ships.
whenever i try to scan a ring it says i'm too far from the surface although i'm right next to the point i drop out of warp drive, can somebody help?
Shows the best mining ships and use the clipper for deep core.. Perf ❤️
It's kind of crazy how my almost 2 day trip out of the bubble and back selling discovery and universal cartographic data has been completely invalidated by 2 hours of mining.
The choice of words in this video. Heheh.
Great as usual.
Is there one type of mining that is the most profitable? So I dont necessarily have to make a dedicated mining ship, but an exploration ship with some mining capabilities if there are some juicy rocks nearby
Whenever I play a space game I default to asteroid miner
Good content, would be even better if you slowed down a bit
That. Was. Hilarious. Still no idea what I'm doing in this game though.....
2 years ago i mined myself to 1Billion Credits... after that i bought my Dreamship and didnt knew what to do with it lol
Point deffense system near cargo rack. U don't want to get fucked by a hatchbreaker and lose loads of cargo.
Also, core asteroids can typically be cracked open w/ a couple of charges at max intensity in LOW resistance fissures, and a low intensity charge in a HIGH resistance one.
Good video but I was hoping it was a beginners guide to mining. The ships you talk about are very big but cost millions to get. A beginner guide I was hoping you would talk about the sidewinder your first ship eg beginner or how about the next ship up from that like the cobra mk 3 or similar. Its a goid video but if I was already in a large top tier ship. I woukd most likely be making all kinds of credits. Good video but not alot of help for beginners.
You can apply the same principles for smaller ones. in fact i did not talk too much about ships in the first place as I expect everyone to tailor their own builds KNOWING this info
very nice dude
For me it’s not the techniques that I’m unsure about, it’s where to actually get the stuff I need to actually do the mining, all I can get is mining lasers and basic internals, let alone commodities like prospector limpets and scanners.
If you use the eddb website you can go to the stations section. This lets you find nearby stations based on what ships or modules they sell. I'd also recommend filtering for Li Yong-Rui as stations in his space offer a 15% discount on ships and modules. This also lowers your rebuy cost.
Additionally, you can build a ship using the coriolis . io website and in the top right there should be a button that says "Stations that sell this build". Clicking it sends you to the eddb stations tab with all the modules and the ship field filled out. You just need to put the system you're in under "Reference System" and any other fields you want. If there are no nearby systems, I'd recommend removing the cheapest module, search again, repeat
Thanks for the help!
commit the fishers to memory, huh? what how. do the limpits take up cargo space or is there a slot on the ship?
This was not the video for beginner... or is the beginner classified in this game if you have only played it for 3000 hours or so?
im totally new, how many limpets of each type should i bring? also how do i set them up on hotkey
I'm here for the Uranus jokes
You need the Abrasion Blaster for Deep Core mining too.
Im an uber newb. Idk what u are saying 80% of the time.
Still unsure how to get the bits of resources that come off the rocks after i lazer them.
Anaconda isn’t good for mining compared to Pythons and Cutters ?
What’s most profitable?
I haven't played in years, which puts me in the odd position of havingto watch a mining tutorial before I got out mining in my fully loaded cutter o.O I have no idea what I'm doing, I barely remember how to fly.
... and mining is wayyyy different now.
Where do I find these things (no third party tools) as my station doesn't sell them?
I need to buy a prospector limpit and DSS
Although the guys talking about odd numbers and ascending hierarchy? I don't know what any of that means.
I just want to mine man.
I'm just trying to get one piece of fucking rock into my deployed cargo scoop.
Probing Uranus... heard it all now XD
I was unable to find a detailed surface scanner for some reason
Well very new to the game. Very sharp learning curve. Spent 2 hours to make 40k with a mining laser. One Adder less than five minutes 1.2 million. Are some mechanics in this game unbalanced..... yeah. Some guns just blast harder.
My only question is in advance maintenance how much restocking of limpets control do I need.
I didn't mine since EDO release. Is it still decent to make some CR? Just basic laser painite mining in EDO or EDH. I know doing inara trade routes is just OP (reliable) but it is just not for me lol... I'll rather mine for an hour or two.
Honestly, I am somewhat done with the game. They might get me back in if the new Odssey expansion is actually able to deliver space legs and they add ship interiors and allow us more of a player economy... You know, let the players shape the game and actually give us what they promised, but I have my doubts. The last major addition... The fleet carriers, was shit. So, I am honestly not going to hold my breath.
fleet carriers are actually pretty great for mining. I use mine as a sort of portable base where I will stock up till I have like 300 or more void opals. Come back restock limpets etc. Then when I am done have the carrier jump to the place I wanna sell em, make a bunch of money rinse and repeat. It's much better than having to commit to a run(if I start mining now I have to make enough to make the followin selling trip and risk of pirates worthwhile ) because you can just store your stuff for when you want to sell it. Also I can store other ships on it as well so I might use a dbx to travel to the places where I see the best prices on inara, to doublecheck them and then send my carrier there. Mining is just much more efficient if you have long term storage and can immediately restock limpets, refuel and repair hull. Just my 2 cents on how my FC has been super useful to me
@@user-xl8jm3zy1f those were helpful when LTD was everywhere and easy to find now LTD is nerfed and painite takes too long. For me it took 4 hours for 386t. If you wanna store painite to fleet i don't see much favor.
@@user-xl8jm3zy1f, that is good to hear. I am still a bit miffed about the upkeep costs and the fact that they are not shared amongst a squadron. I find them a bit too impractical, as I do not want to play the game often enough to avoid losing my fleet carrier. I also dislike the whole thing about their losing their resale value so quickly and... Well, if you watch Yamiks' videos, you have probably heard most of my complaints already from him.
Still, it is nice to see someone enjoying them.
@@maruf7956 I still mine void opals lol. Never got on the LTD and painite hype. It works. And if it takes too long that's the beauty of carriers. Just pause your run, put what you have in the carrier then do something else. Then when you want to mine again just get your mining ship and you're fine
@@H.J.Fleischmann yeah I watched it as well but they changed it. The upkeep is ok(I got a bunch of services and for me it's 15mil a week which is nothing. I have enought in my carrier account for 40 weeks and the same again on my player. Mining go BRRRRR.) and for instance the travel time is 15 mins before jump and 5 after or something like that. Take my numbers with a grain of salt since this is just memory from using and not a spreadsheet but thats my opinion on those issues. And I definitely think they aren't for everyone. If you're a combat purist you won't see the value in keeping it around but for someone like me who mines a lot it's awesome and the upkeep is very maneagable
At 5:22, you said that limpets are odd sized number so I should skip somethin? WTF does that even mean? I need major help with fire group assignment, etc etc.
limpet controler modules come in odd number module sizes... so size compartments 1-3-5-7 ... so yeah yu can install a size 3 in a compartment size4.
So what you said about avoiding NPCs, at the end. Does flying away also work if you have rocks on-board or only if you are empty? If I even have just one commodity I'm attacked immediately. Sure I blow them to shit and take their stuff, but still.
Only if your cargo is empty, though sometimes if you drop cargo fast enough the NPCs will be distracted and take that as payment
Refinery contents don't count
how does the GD refinery work? I head to a platinum hotspot - shoot out a prospect - ship tells me it failed, but still does the glowy thing and then litttle targets everywhere that I blast off with abrason guns and next thing you know the whole area is just full of little chunks that i have manually targeta and shoot a collector?
Ooooof two hours today and not one single platinum in a double layered hot spot. look at my refinery and it states its full but nothing is 100% so I 'vent' them whihch means i basically threw it all away yeah?
dont manually target, the limpet stays for a certain amount of time and collects on its own
bruh im so confused why my missile bouncing off the rock? is it not lined up ?
You crack me up.
Wait. Entering orbit? How do you auto orbit a planet. Thousands of hours in this game and I didn't know that was a thing
