Those gadgets have 3 sliders that you adjust based on how it scans the rock, then you calibrate them to get 90% or better efficiency, then you need to hit activate on them. Also the RS signature when scanning is not necessarily indicative of gems based on how large the number is. I have seen gems anywhere from 1600 to 6000. I have also found free quantanium (not needing to mine, simply extract) in signatures that were only 1900 or so. The RS signature is useful for finding gems in that you can increase the PIERC beyond 50% once you narrow in on a scan, and you can get the arrows to populate from great distances away; that way you don't spend time flying to gems.
Fun video! Not enought mining content! My information might be outdated, but don't you need to calibrate the gadgets you put on a rock to activate them? Like there's a minigame you synchronize it so it activates ...
I'm not sure, to be honest. I used them a couple of times, but they never prompted any mini-game. I tried holding "F" once to see if there would be any interaction, like when you do with the healing gun, but nothing happened.
@cpt_kenzo you are right, @FreakMouse, what you did didn't couse any effect on the rock. The famous "mini game is when you place the gadget (anyone, all of them works the same way to calibrate them) you will have to "calibate it", you will need to wait the activation of the gadget, and then you will have 3 diffrent horizontal bars, one is propagation, other is axial and the 3rd one i don't remember the name in this moment. At the right down corner of the gadget screen, you will see a button that saids activate, You must play with the bars in order to achive any number avobe the 90% of "efectivity" for use the gadget. Once you reach the number the Activate minning button will be Brighter, you you will need to push it and then you will be usuing the befeits of the gadget
@@MseeBMeIn theory you can buy them at any refinery station than swap in the hangar, but I tried that and couldn't do it because the tractor beam just wouldn't work... So what I did instead was to take my prospector and my mole out in space then yanked it from the mole and installed it in the prospector.
Just remember to use the smaller tractor beam so you don't have any problems. I made a short video showing the swap and explaining why you have to use the small tractor beam. Maybe give it a look.
I also had 10 Jobs going now i check the sc-testing chat evers Day to read the message of the Day about patches being tested. And still we wont know in time some mole loads taken 79 hours
Yeah, I'm also trying to keep up with patch updates now because losing 9 jobs was a punch in the stomach... LOL... Not only for the money lost with the refining but also for the time it took me to mine all that ore.
you have to calibrate those gadgets not just place them on the rock

It was very interesting to watch! I haven’t gotten around to mining yet, I’m trying to save up for a Prospector, but your video was very motivating)
Thank you!

@@FreakMouse They do have a mini game, for best performance
@@robertammersvan3518 how do you activate the mini game? Cus I tried holding F but nothing showed up...

If you want we can go to minning and i will teach you better. I often do minning is the base of my economy to do other things. Let me know
You can also put Mole bags on your prospector to increase the storage
I did that.
I’ve heard people talk about it, but how exactly do you do that?

@@FreakMouse cheers mate, will give that a go!

good vid, havent used gadgets before, good to see how they work
Thanks
@@FreakMouse You didn't calibrate the gadget, it didn't do anything
@@trullin9326 Yeah a few people told me that...
