Introduction

Discovery Mining Guide

Welcome to the wonderful world of mining within the Discovery Mod. This guide serves as the latest version of the tutorial designed to inform new and existing players about the changes made by Cannon’s Mining Mod implemented in March of 2011. Many changes were made from 4.8.77 to 4.88.1 and then, even more, changes were made to where we are now - 4.90.2.


For those who are new to mining in Discovery, keep this in mind:

  • You will need a specialized mining ship to harvest Ores More on this in a moment.
  • Mining requires mining turrets in addition to a mining ship.
  • Finally, you require a mining company ID (for example, Daumann) with a matching IFF, or alternatively, an independent “Miner ID’, available for sale on most stations.
  • Ore is automatically transferred into your cargo bay. You don’t have to tractor in ore as per vanilla / other previous mods.
  • If you have marked another players ship with a left click, who is not more than 500 m away from you, the Ore will be automatically transfered to the cargo hold of that ship.
  • Only mining turrets are effective for mining. Other weapons are practically useless for mining operations.


Mining Ships

First, you will require a specialized mining ship. The following ships have mining bonuses as of 4.89.2 (courtesy of @Karst):

(Kudos to @Karst , @Jack_Henderson & @Laz for researching the information on mining laser hardpoints.)

  • Please note that the values for gun hardpoints may be incorrect. They were done in single player with a visual test and have not been tested against the server side drop rate.

Next, you will need specialized equipment: mining turrets and a compatible ID.

Mining Turrets are sold on most Planets, corporate bases, and Freeports, as well as Junker bases. They come in three varieties: "Small Mineral Extractors" are for use on light fighters, “Light Mining Arrays”, for heavy fighters/freighter turrets, and “Heavy Mining Arrays”, which fit on the heavier transports. They do virtually no damage in combat but are the only turrets capable of mining ore effectively.

Mining lasers operate by adding ore to your cargo hold when they strike and destroy a floating chunk of ore. Because of this, there is a chance you can gain increased ore through careful placement of your mining lasers. For example, on the Annapurna IMG freighter, placing mining lasers on every slot except slots one and two will result in a decent increase in ore drop rate. Slots vary between the different vessels, BUT if you use the numbers listed above you should get optimum results. Mining IDs are specific IDs that allow you to mine. Some companies specialize in mining, as well as independent Miners. Finally, some quasi-lawful and unlawful groups have the limited ability to mine select ores. All IDs must be used in tandem with their matching IFF, except in the case of the Miner ID, which may use any IFF (or none at all). Here is a run-down of all the factions available:

Mining and Transportation

Follow the above instructions? Great! You’re on track to becoming the next richest person in Sirius! Now, you’ll need to know where to mine, and where to bring it to once you’ve mined it.

Mining fields can be found by checking your map - open your map by hitting the F7 key (by default) or the map icon in the top right. There will often be large exclusion zones that when hovering over will read "Mining Zone" or something similar. When entering a zone, there will also be text that is displayed that will read "Entering Mining Zone" or something similar.

You can only gain ore while inside these fields, and ore will only drop from the small floating rocks, not the larger stationary ones.

If you are not gaining any ore from the field, it is possible that:

  • - You’re not in a mining field: most mining fields are spheres, and it is possible that you’re above or below the field by a small amount. Set a waypoint if you’re worried this is the case.
  • - You are not capable of mining the ore effectively. Make sure your ID, IFF, ship, and turret all match what is required to mine that specific type of ore. For example, the “Sabre” VHF with Flashpoints is not going to be an effective mining craft.
  • - The field isn’t active. This is a rarity, but some fields in Discovery are turned off, either for balance purposes or due to their superfluousness.
  • - You have another ship selected, and are filling it, instead of your own hold. CTRL+T, by default, will de-select the current target.

If all else fails, contact other players in the field, players of any of the official mining factions. There will always be people willing to help you out.
