And just when you decided to come back to mine ..... It got worse ....

Mining has just become an absolute sh1t show... $2 in $0 out for my first run... WHAT a bloody joke ..... I feel like I have been scammed....

Ag nee man... Ek gaan nie die julle bliksemse thread lees nie... Eish...

The range on each finder is inconsistent.

Mining is bugged at the moment, you can move 1m away from a miss and get a hit... Be careful out there..

No change .. Not falling for it, before it drops off completely, alt f4.

Can the devs please sort out the blatantly obvious diminishing returns regarding mining ... Not happy...

I am starting to think that this is true.. I know that MA tracks how avatars move, you agree to this even before you press login, but it does very unusual stuff that reinforces your playstyle. It's almost that it "wants to fuck you over". Simple example. I know for a fact that the next...

I have migrated to a very distinct "style" or pattern of mining that I am going to start major testing over the next couple of months. The game's system is weird, it looks random but I don't think that it is. I have noticed that when I change from one server to another, my first drop is...

I have been doing a lot of "noob" md1 mining over the weekend and frankly I am a bit disappointed. I do not see any evidence of "player skill" being a factor in the mining process. I mean you can literally move less than the radius of a tool and find a claim when just seconds ago there was no...

But the auto drop does not even work properly.. I think mining tools drop at a rate of 8 drops per minute, which when actually timed, at least with me, is not correct. I have never been able to drop 8 probes in a minute.. The tooltip is just wrong.

SO it looks like claims are generated when the probe is activated, nothing strange there. What is strange is that if you drop a probe outside the range of the probe ie 56m and a claim is found, it can generate anywhere in range, including where you have just dropped. So here is the scenario...

Update - It works like a tank. If there is ped in the ground, the claims are #redacted#. The less ped, the longer you have to #redacted#... But eventually you press alt-f4. It's not anyone's fault it's just the nature of the beast that MA has created.

Nothing new to report, moving on. Mining tools still don't refresh at the correct rate. Claims can spawn on areas previously mined. No Skill just RNG BS..

Lets drop 2 obvious mining features that are in the game. 1) The drop per minute value on ALL mining tools is incorrect. Time your drops, you cannot drop 7.5 probes per minute. 2) The mining radius is 100% fake.. There is no way in heck, that moving and dropping 10m apart in a set direction can...

One more thing. How is there any skill involved in the act of mining ? Drop probe, move x, repeat... No skill needed for that loop. I prefer PE where it was based on movement. Your profitability depended on how well you could make a map and figure out patterns. Right now it's just RNG BS...

Someone in the community showed me something very similar to this. Start with the fixed return of 95%. When you drop a probe, it rolls a dice (yes dice rolling sucks as there is no skill involved but it is what it is). If your return is above the 95%, your probability of returning a hit drops...

On Error Press alt-f4 Repeat until bad. Drop probe Await results Change server Goto beginning Basically mine until the server is crap, change server, repeat, when all servers are crap alt-f4. Simple...

Ye it basically comes down to pick a server, drop a probe, if you miss move to the next server. If you have tried all the servers log-out... Simple really...

Question now is, is this oscillation time dependent or drop dependent ?

Returns are down to 92% tt which is to be expected. It appears to oscillate over time.

So nothing that I am really interested in... I am still sitting at 98% tt return with minimal effort.

Interesting...... Your MU% is what makes you your profit. Feeding the crafters.... In that case your hitrate% does not really matter as it can be offset by MU, as long as that hitrate% for that resource is uniform between all miners at the same time. IE if mining is bad for me, it should be bad...

Oh no, I hear you.. Lets take a look at my mining in PE and compare it to now. Using the spiral, this was a typical run 1st 0.5 ped drop miss 2nd 1 ped drop hit size 5 3rd 1 ped drop hit size 5 4th 1 ped drop hit size 5 etc.. The above carried on till the game moved to a new cycle or someone...
