Mining Questions

1. What kind of ped roll do I need to use level 3 or level 5 amps on a consistent basis?

2. What is a good average run of probes to break even and why?

3. Is it better to dual drop for ore and enmatter or not?

Thanks for the answers in advance.

1. Well, a few miner friends told me before, that it's good to do at least 2 level 3 or 2 level 5 amps for every run. If the first amp is suck, then the second amp can cover it up.

2. I think it's around 200 peds or more. It's because, the fewer probes you drop here, the least chance you'll be break even, unless, you found a global/hof for your very first drop lol

3. I left this question to other, because I dislike dual drops.

1. What kind of ped roll do I need to use level 3 or level 5 amps on a consistent basis?

I would say enough to cover two 500 probe runs, otherwise don't bother. For level 5 that would be around 3k ped.


2. What is a good average run of probes to break even and why?

The more, the better. But it doesn't really matter if you do 100 probes one day and 500 the next, as long as you keep at it.


3. Is it better to dual drop for ore and enmatter or not?

The answer depends on the markup of the specific resources in the area.
