New mining system - No cancellation option?

I have been dropping bombs and probes again recently. However, I must say I am extremely annoyed with the new system.

I press 3 (bomb) accidently instead of 4 (excavate), and lose 1 ped. I press 3 to whip out my gun, but my quick bar switch was not recognised due to lag. One more ped down.

I'd prefer either a cancellation option like we had before, or a confirmation message that we DO want to drop a bomb/ped. This is just plain ridiculous (and maybe the reason why we see so many uber hofs. People keep messing up, and thus feeding the loot pool).

Support case has been filed. I am just curious whether i am the only one with this problem?
 
I find it annoying, because like you when I go to hit for my extractor I hit the (bomb) one and thats extremely annoying especially with my budget, It can be good sometimes I accidently got a global that way.

Don't drink and mine. :laugh:

I guess they are aware of the lag thing though.

That comment was also ment to be a joke. :D

I agree with you that we should have a confirmation if we wanted to.
Maybe make it as an option for those who want to confirm actions?
If so, it would be good to have it in the option menu where you could enable or disable "confirmation" for several actions.

Confirmation message

I for one sure as hell would NOT like to click "confirm" every time im gonna drop a bomb or probe.
Some sort of system to turn that on or off would be a minimum requirement for that to work for me anyways. And btw, I hate the tutorial messages too.. :p

Yes, and therefore such stuff should be optional.
Maybe we also could select various profiles?
One drunk profile where we get loads of confimations for everything and limit on PED-card? :D

Haha. Yeah, and of course the "drunk mode" CC/PED card limit must be set using a onetime random password, given by MA that you wont be able to remember when drunk :p
 
This thread should be called the 'bring back the detonate button!'

Oh for the days when mining was mining and everything wasn't automated...
 
I don't have to confirm each time i wanna shoot with my gun, so i don't really mind i don't have to confirm with mining either :D
 
Hey EINSTEIN, you ever hear of "Fire In The Hole"...


There was nothing wrong with he way stuff worked before. Not only do we not have control of when to detonate, so now when it automaticly detonates and a mob attacks due to high consentrations, you run like hell to set rod and at times it wont set, all the while a mob is chewing on you. So you switch to a weapon to defend yourself and if your lucky you'll survive and guess what, you have to drop another bomb/probe to refind your spot.

And yes, there are more misses now after the new VU, now whether that is written in to code or just lousy netcode, who knows. All I know is when I see mini updates and they dont tell us what its for, I get very suspicious.

Ever heard of "triggerhappy"?

Maybe youre just a bit to triggerhappy then?
I mean dropping a bomb and get aggro is nothing different than accidentally shooting at the creature you just wanted to check with the scope getting aggro.
Its simple.. If you cant handle it, dont do it. If you do it on accident... learn to be more careful..
 
ya the detonate button is much needed, wasting bombs is no fun at all :(
 
The new system is better. The old system was cumbersome.

Like Ein said, there's no confirm option on a gun, or a decoy dispenser. Ok, so probes and bombs cost a little bit more than decoys, but its still the same idea.

If you can't control your own actions or learn to live with your own mistakes, then that's your problem - please dont go asking MA to make the game ask you every 3 seconds, "You are currently standing still, are you sure you want to do this? Press Y to stay still, press N to run, Press Cancel to sit down"

It would drive me crazy, there's no need for the game to look after you in this way.
 
I have:
Detectonator=10
Refiner=11
Extractor=12

I have never had your problem ;)
 
Just make different toolbars for mining and drilling and attach the different functions to keys that are far apart. You may need some time to get used to the new keys but it works like a charm, no mistakes anymore. Have your fap and main gun on the same key on ALL your toolbars in case you need them quickly :wise:
