With the addition of Alien Organisms to Sigma-19 which followed on the heels of GMG| fighting the OCs to gain access to them, will GMG and perhaps Kishiro IDs get a bonus as well as the GMG Miner and Whale?

Yes.

GMG Miner/Whale/Freighter.

Plus we're working on something special for H fuel. But we've only got two horses pulling the cart atm, so it's slow going.

maybe ad a few mining fields in burgundy near alesia station for GMS (gallic Metal service)

for example let it drop iron ore,

Hey everyone, I wanted to make a quick post.

I wanted to thank everyone for the positive feedback, it means a lot.

I understand that this is being presented to you a might shy of optimal. Its really frustrating for me that we cannot deliver a 100% functional plugin. But, sadly, the recent development schedules have been very taxing atop our normal workloads/personal lives/etc.

The mining plugin will be fully activated in the near future, with ship/ID/IFF bonuses fully in place in conjunction with a functional commodity system which meets the unique needs of the mining system. As we can do this all via FLhook its a system we can develop outside of the main update cycle.

Thank you again, so much, for your patience. Your understanding means a lot. To be honest I was cringing over the tomatoes that we would be getting following the work that went into modding the new fields/commodities/code/etc.

Were working as quickly as we reasonably can.

Please, PM me with any thoughts any of you have concerning the mining system, ores and so on. Im always receptive to suggestion.

Gallia isn't getting any fields until that house is fully developed.

No problems, Dusty.


The Guild Can Wait.
And We Will.

Will the Basalt LF + Mining Laser be given a mining bonus? Considering it was given a turret for the sole purpose of mounting a mining laser, it probably should, shouldn't it?

[Hartfordshire]

Awesome, sounds great, gonna do some trading now that mining isn't very profitable. I also noticed Planet New London or Leeds was in HUGE demand of Platinum ore, maybe mining that in Pennsylvania and getting transports to Leeds / London would be profitable!

Another notice: If the Civilian "Hegemon" exists, maybe faction-specific ones like an IMG Mining ship will be implemented?

Wow. I managed not to see this until after I spent two hours on formulas to improve mining balance assuming we were still using the old system. I can now officially say I failed.

Anyhow, this sounds great. Only concerns I have is making sure that it lines up profit-wise with trading at a reasonable number of people (such as three). It should also be noted that when doing distance mining, it has to be twice as valuable as a trade route going the same distance/time, as you have to compensate for not bringing stuff back to the mining site.

Since everyone else is doing the same, I'll list fields I'm interested in having looked at.

The Graves field in Dublin (local) - BMM's main field.
The small field near the BMM base in Tau-23. (distance/local)
The Beryllium field in Manchester (distance)
The field around Douglas Station in Omega-3 (local)
Assorted new BMM-based fields

Good luck with this, guys.

Nice, so the hessians are getting a good modifier in dresden? I would really like to use mining diamonds rather then trade to support my characters. Might bring more life to rheinland too.
