Broken Mining Layers

Weekend Hitrate so far has been terrible, I will have to alt-f4 a lot more which suits me fine.
 
Still shocking bad, mining suspended till Monday.
 
If Mindark wants more players, they need better systems.
 
No changes, rapidly depleting layers, not possible to mine for longer than a few minutes per session per layer without seeing major drop offs.

If each tool loot container only applies to my avatar and there is no central pool, my motivation for playing this game will hit an all time low.

No changes, loot is now predictable, the more deposits you make, the more resources you can extract before diminishing returns kicks in.

When it does kick in best option is to press alt-f4

Mining loot is now broken, can't find a single resource alt-f4 is in heavy effect. Will try again next week, game is not playable.

what setup you use those days ?
 
He's alt-f4'ing when his hit rate decreases. Come on now.

The commitment to the troll is impressive.

GG.

So imagine you have a program, that locates all doubles using math, the first time you use it, it works exactly as expected, all doubles all the time, but over time the amount of doubles decrease. The only way to get those doubles back is to PUT IN MORE MONEY !!. I have posted various times about mining's diminishing returns and frankly its insulting. It diminishes my skill as a player.

Would you be happy with that ?

What skills?

Have you ever stopped and thinked you "might" be wrong?

As could be indicated by large enough of sample from this community feedback to you.

You want to belive?

How about you admit that you dont know how things work.

Find someone to explain how game, sampling or reading/understanding data works?

Stop wasting your own time and money.

This might sound harsh but what have you achieved in last 20 years?

I have not really looked at the game as hard as I am looking at it now, once the sheet was done and the numbers started to match, the fun started.

Diminishing returns were immediately observed, you can't go from a 100% predictable and observable hitrate down to 0 without something very serious going on. The fact that the 100% hitrate returned immediately after performing a deposit is another red flag.

Account based personal loot pools, simple, you are playing a single player game with no global loot pool.

I hate it that your drops have to go through some validation check before you get loot. This also reduces the effectiveness of the sheet and by extension the skill of it's creator.

This also LIMITS the amount of time I now play which is not what I want, I want to be constantly mining but with the current conditions it is not worth the effort.

Now let's look at it from Mindark's side, we have a player / society of players that knows exactly where the mining nodes are as they are deterministic without the validation check.

This society just based on sheer resource volume will drown out competition and control the market.

I can see why Mindark is now using AI, I used AI to come up with a few of the base calculations and well as a pretty good claim type filter which is based on depth.

If I don't see a double, I know that my claims are being filtered and that I should be ready to Alt-f4

I am still intentionally running through the bad times and dropping my peds to zero in order to see the exact amount of TT profit I get when topping up with a small cash deposit.

Looks like you got it all figured out!

Best of luck with the TT profit!
