Mining scrap seems to be back. Mined two full hauls today without much issue. Of course there are some minor changes such as, it automatically tractors into your cargo bays. You have to mine with mining turrets and the selling prices have changed. I think they were adjusted downwards across the board by approximately 25 to 30 %.
I don't know the exact time it would take to mine a field to depletion and I also don't know how long it will take to replenish the field. Only time will tell on that aspect I suppose.
All in all, something I can live with. I would also like to know if the drop rate was increased as I heard the drop rate for gold and nobium has increased.
With the return of mining.. scrap is back! Thank you admins for again allowing us access to our most precious commodity. Now all of us Junkers can get back to work.
