[Needing Help with Money and Resource Generation]

To start things off, I always play on insane. That said, I have breached the core and I am starting the process of gearing up to fight at 0:0, but I am stumbling on gathering enough cash and resources to force this effort to expand to meet my quotas in 24 or so hours rather than 40-60 I am dreading grinding out.

 

I currently have 15M Credits, 4 ships with 5 R-Mining Lasers (see details below) each, about 1.7M Avorion, 2M Ogonite,  and a handful of the other resources from 1M to 100k, and a steel factory.

 

Mining Laser:

Ogonite

56.8 DPS

97.5 Efficiency

2 Slot

 

My goal is

~500M credits

~20M Avorion

~5-6M Ogonite

 

With trading and raiding being an absolute slog for almost no profit, being where I tried initially to make any sort of cash (along with mining robots being useless), stations that are barely feasible, it seems that mining is my only option, but I am only pulling about 100-300k resources per hour. I am hoping to get this to 1M resources per hour. I am no expert on what the AI does in the background where nothing is rendered.

 

If I increase the number of mining turrets on my ships, will my mining rate go up by about a linear factor?

If I increase the number of mining ships, (my current number already drains 2-3 sectors before they jump to refine the ores), will that also increase the rate. And along with that, will they still work if I split them into numerous sectors even if I am over the "sectors active limit" placed on me?

 

Should I give up on mining for money and do something else?

[[1.0] Mines Having no Sell Tabs]

Before I am asked this, Yes, I did reinstall Avorion. I also am running no mods.

 

Picture 1 shows that the first mining station that spawns in the game, being the mine that spawns in with the Player initially has a sell tab.

 

Picture 2 shows a mining sector that no stations that buy anything, and yet there are clearly mining stations in the background.

 

How to reproduce:

Start a new game on any difficulty.

Either find a mining sector or use the command /run Entity():addScript("lib/entitydbg.lua") to spawn another mine in.

Note Due to Edit: Avorion Version 0.31.2 does not have this bug

 

Edit:

I have been tracing this bug back with /run Entity():addScript("lib/entitydbg.lua") and I found that the bug occurred in somewhere in 0.32, and has been present since. I hope this helps in finding it.
