[Pretender]

anyone got this before?

 

[Ona]

Yup.
As if 'no loot' is bad enough, now you waste a probe and time looking for the enmatter, only to find that it's 'insufficient' to mine.

i have been having no resources found in that area the 3/4 of the time, and now i thought i got a deposit, and nope, its wasted time again

 

[Kalashi]

yes.

it works on TT value on 1 ore/en

if you hit a en which is 1 ped tt for 1

and you hit only a modest, and that deposit is only 1 item of that en then you wont be able to dig up as it is too small to be a modest

(i think thats right! crap explanation though lol)

i had loads of them about a month back enought to make me take some time out off mining

mmm... i think i get it..

 

[Shadow-Ale]

It really sucks. Had 5 in a row on day, in very different places. Wait a few days, and go back and mine again usually helps.

The problem with this explanation is the that the sizes are directly related to the amount of ped. tiny =.01-.5 ped very poor =.5 - 1.0 etc. I have dropped a mine at and got poor (which i am sure we have all mined a million times) and i got that message. I think its total BS. I wish we could get a good answer from MA about this.

Another weird thing that i got was i probed, got a hit. Dropped a probe again. it was ON TOP of the current on, so i could drop a claim. I mined and dropped another probe and it said small deposit, but i couldnt claim again. SO i cancelled once more and dropped ANOTHER probe... this time it said miniscule(????) and i couldnt claim. Dropped another probe (this time outta curiosity) and got no rescources.... my head asplode.

First of all , it's not as of "now", as in a few VU's ago or recently , it has ALWAYS been like that. Although it's annoying when it happens, it's not a waste of probe/bomb or even time because you can draw some conclusions from this,even make some crazy theories about timing of the area that has been mined , that has been respawning ...that might even work

errrmm the size of the deposit counts , but the tipe of ore in that deposit also counts when you get that msg, I had several medium and ample deposits of Valurite that I couldn't claim

Apoliogies then. I had never gotten that message before a few weeks ago. I just assumed it was a new annoyance.

I got an ample of valurite last night. 12 ped for 2 stones. I would be pissssed off if i couldnt mine it.

What I think is trying to be said is this:

If you get a "poor" deposit, but one stone of, say, Rugaritz, is more PED than a "poor" deposit is worth... you can't mine it because it's less than one stone.

Make any more sense?

Find a bigger deposit nearby...

 

[Terra]

its simple ill make an example

if you see valurite, it has a large value per stone, usually you never pull up one stone per pull, so a poor of valurite would be impossible to mine since mining 1 stone is not possible, so its directed towards the TYPE of mineral or enmatter and the SIZE of the deposit!

not the size and value combined

 

[DevAng]

Already had one of those too , it's a bummer

Like other plp already said it , it's about higher tt ores and the value of the deposit is too low. Skills might also count there
