1) Buy a rookie finder and a few probes.
2) Mute all PC sounds
3) Put on your headset
4) Download and install a FOS metronome app
4) Set the app to x BPM where x is LESS THAN 8 PS If anyone can mine at 8 BPM please let me know how.
5) Go mining with the beat exhausting just 1 rookie finder
6)...
Mining is incredibly simple. Put as many probes in the ground as you can as fast as possible. If you are not satisfied with the results on your 2nd or 3rd probe, pack it in and try another day... Dynamic system yea !!!
Back to the story..
DISCLAIMER.... Use at your own risk....
A little bit of googling and a model later, I had an Excel spreadsheet that for the most part did not miss. There were exceptions however. If someone mined within the same set grid of my avatar (yes the array spawned in a set grid)...
So when this system was maxed out. My TT value was 300% consistently... This was back in the days of lyst having a MU of 200%. Every drop of 1 ped was at least 3 ped back. And this was before amps...
I have been wanting to put down a post regarding how mining worked in the old version of PE for a long time now...
First off, a disclaimer, these are my opinions and observations. This strategy generated profit of about 7k in a few months of leisurely mining.
OK let's get started...
The...
Think of the implications of claims being avatar generated...
If I know that dropping a probe, generates a probe with a set offset from the avatar, that could be and has been exploited...
I do not think that MA uses a diceroll when you use a probe... That does not make sense as you would have to black list 2*pi*r^2*(max depth-min depth) points PER probe...
Rather I would and I hate a admit it... a PRNG seed that generates a database / white list of points that enter a cool down...
I am going to resurrect an old thread... As I have a very simple question.
I perceive the flow of finding a claim working like this.
1) Avatar drops probe/s from a set coordinate using a finder.
2) A request is sent to the "black box" initiating the scan. Finder decays
3) The scan takes a few...
