Hello fellow miners!
I'm seeking some piece of advice as I'm having quite a hard time understanding actual mining.
I recently come back from a few months break and decided that hunting is no longer my thing and I'm proceeding into chipping out to regain some peds (lvl 83 BLP, lvl 50 evader, lvl 60 looter before starting chipping out, so it will take a while..)
Before taking the break I started amped mining (lvl 5 + DSEC L30) on ark and was working pretty well.
Now I'm back and after a couple of welcome-back hofs and one week of solid TT returns (99%) I'm experiencing quite a downshift.
I tried to mining again with L30 + lvl 5 but found a lot of trash triple dropping while before I was getting decent MU. I tried then playing differently and went unamped both with L30 and TerraMaster 6 both on caly and on ark, and sitting on a unpromising ~81% TT return.
If it helps I'm lvl 47 surv and 46-is prosp.
While mining unamped on Caly with TM6 TT was a bit better but found really tons of oil and lyst and tiny tiny amounts of rarer minerals.
Loot composition was generally better with L30 but TT was BAD.
I'm undecided if to go back on ark for a while and try again unamped but just double dropping (I think triple dropping to get some bismuth is not worth the hassle of finding Ks of TT-food) or try out RT as I've never mined there
Surely Caypso is not really working well for me.
Hope to get some expertise willing to help me decide!
