Hello Everyone,

In my early mining attempts i found the information from this thread very useful.

I would like to point everyone in a new direction:

It is an ever growing,
automatically generated,
mining find depth list!

Its generated by Little Big Mining Log (www.mininglog.com)
from data gathered by the program users that declare they want to contribute.

Have a look at the website on the data already gathered,
and think of the possibilities if the whole mining community contributes

Best Regards
Ido Sunrider

Congratulations, your work and data was all for nothing.

I'm sorry.

Depths of enmatters/ores

Thank you for your contributions to this thread.

I have listed minerals/ores you can not find with a certain finder (to extent of what FPC players who used EF know).


Data sourced in this thread has allowed us to reach some conclusions:

• Finders have a limited depth range. 95% of finds will be located within ±200m of the average search depth stated on the finder.
• Every Ore and Enmatter has it's own minimum depth. Maximum depths prior to 10.8 were 1000m. It is yet to be determined what maximum depth exists for each ore/enmatter
• Finding a mineral requires a finder with an appropriate depth range. For example, you cannot expect to find Ferrum Nuts (700m) with a TT finder (average search depth 204m)
• Deeper finders find a wider range of minerals.
• A shallow finder that finds lyst does not necessarily mean a deep finder used in the same area will find lyst.
• The rarest of ores have a very small depth range, and begin from 600/700/800/900m. Your own testing and research will reveal what you can find and where.

If data for a finder or mineral is not listed that you would like to see on this list, please post a reply.

Anomalous finds
There are two kinds of anomalous finds. Anomalous finds may be uncovered with any type of finder, amped or unamped.

(1) Robot Spaceship NB: Robot Spaceships are not findable at present, since inception of VU 10.0
This occurs instead of getting a claim. Your finder tells you you have detected a strange signal - the spaceship is usually between 100-200m from where you drop a bomb/probe.
Directions on how to deal with a spaceship can be found here https://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/forums/mining/51430-guide-how-examine-robot-spaceship.html
Robot Spaceships may not be found on CND.

(2) Finding "Something out of the ordinary" (SOOTO)
When you find a claim, there is a small chance you may find something else along with that claim (it will instantly appear in your loot window).
There are two "common" finds:
Angel Scales (refines to Light Mail)
Hansidian Rock
The current known chances of getting a SOOTO or a spaceship find is currently known to be around 1/1000 to 1/4000. You can expect to find at least one of these every 2000 bomb or probe drops.
Uncommon finds include DNA parts and Unlimited Mining Amps. These are extremely rare and highly valued.
Hogglo Pelvis
Letomie Fossil Eyelense
Frescoquda Foot
Unlimited Enmatter Amps(101-light, 101-105), Unlimited Ore Amps ((101-light, 101-105)

There are other "event" finds but these have been excluded from this list.

Any new stats on Spaceship find? Any TWEN spaceships?

It also depends if you use depth enhancers.

I'm mining Dianthus with any UNL finder so I never pay MU on (L) finders :

Finder F-101 needs Tier 6 to find it @ 482 depth
Finder F-102 needs Tier 3 to find it @ 484 depth
Finder F-103 needs no tiering

Another tip of the iceberg
You do not need to go as deep as possible all the time to get better MU resources and your costs will be lot lower

My best results for Dianthus are F-103 Tier 4 (at a certain spot @ a certain time) where I get an average of 11,11% Dianthus in my returns.

Invest in your finders, it's worth it.
