one of the biggest secrets to ROC mining I think is to just leave the ROC on the cargo deck. Its laser reaches; use the ship to properly orient the mining laser next to the outcrop then just blast them. This would work best with the NOMAD for many reasons; back onto the cargo deck. The open deck allows the mining arm to be engaged/disengaged which is a necessity due to some bugginess of the ROC. The cargo deck lowers and reaches out giving you a nice platform to hit the outcrop. I also carry the Nomad on the 890Jump as a mothership.
The selling bug occurs when the system can't round to the nearest full aUEC, so if you adjust the quantity you're selling so it's closer to an even full aUEC, it will allow you to sell. Worst case scenario, one at a time.
Hey, for future mining. At the moment you can get a failed error while trying to sell. I found a work around that has worked for me so far. If you sell 1 unit first to ensure that the selling is actually working and if it went through successfully then continue to sell all but one unit. then sell the last unit. I know its a pain but it has worked for me so far. ALSO when it says it failed, it took the cargo from you ship but failed to pay you so watch out! I lost close to 1 million because of it. Fly Safe! o7
I just spend few hours mining with the ROC: The new physics for ground vehicles makes the ROC really hard to use, especially in hilly and mountainous areas. The hadanite I mined is in my inventory but can not sell it (admin office on stations)... :( I will try your advice. Tnx. PS: The scanning hud on ships does not show up, impossible to figure out the level of ping you are using 😒
i love that there is now ship inventory to use. we use to take a pembroke or novokov suit so we could use the backpack, we'd fill that and the roc and it would give us a cool 500K. now you can make millions after a good session using the ship inventory as well. gonna have to get back into roc mining i think. cheers for the vid, i'm off to magda.
Yea, it definitely feels a bit different since last time I ROC mined. No problem! Going to try out different ships to see if that helps speed things up, thanks for watching 🙌🏽
I just spend few hours mining with the ROC: The new physics for ground vehicles makes the ROC really hard to use, especially in hilly and mountainous areas, it glides away with engines off, bumps a lot, and struggle to go uphill (steep uphill don't work). The hadanite I mined is in my inventory but can not sell it (admin office on stations)... :( I will try your way. Tnx. PS: The scanning hud on ships (Nomad) does not show up, impossible to figure out the level of ping you are using 😒
Don’t know if it’s the new physics but it’s been a lot harder to fit the ROC into the Cutty on this patch as well. Looking to try out the Nomad or Valkyrie combo instead. What moon have you been mining in so far?
@@zirHazeGaming The Nomad has a problem with your character doing yoga in the cockpit (can't see the radar because of the legs)... Than I had another problem with Nomad and Hotas but I guess it's a Hotas problem, the YAW always keep pushing you to turn right side (this has happen to me with different vehicles ROC Prospector and NOmad)... And Nomad and ROC it has been a challenge to park it inside, sometime you turn the engine off and the ROC still glides frontward or backward... Good luck to all of us. Hopefully a fix is around the corner.
My thoughts exactly 😂 Hence why MSR is the is my go to for it. It has lots of doors, but rather deal with that then having to shove it into the Cutty, reverse it into the nomad, or bump the max lol
You are way too close to the rocks, on the left side you can see an indicator that will tell you optimal distance from the rock. Usually I don't turn the laser on until I am at the optimal distance.
@@zirHazeGaming no worries, I don't know if it actually makes a difference to the yield or not but I only started doing it recently and it feels like the rocks break easier at the optimal distance 🤷♂️ probably just my mind playing tricks on me 😁
IDK. I'm a bit disappointed. I've stepped away from the game for several years... like more than three years. Hearing the buzz from the latest con, i was excited to check in and see progress in the PTU. And wow, it's just as bad as it was then. It literally feels like NO tangible progress has been made in over three years. The little boost in hope/excitement that i got from the citizencon hype is gone. Very sad. I don't think there's a chance that this project ever goes anywhere. CIG should feel nothing but immense shame.
@@zirHazeGaming here's to hoping. I've certainly done my part. It's just a bit frustrating. The inventory system is actually a decent upgrade, but it's buggy. I lost several items into the void. I guess I'll try a little salvage and see if that's interesting.
I say check in next year at this time. That’s when are that was show in citizencon will be implemented. The past three years the PU wasn’t their focus, but is changing now that Squads 42 is getting finished.
@@zirHazeGamingIt's "salvaging" but not THE Salvaging you imagine. They are talking about selling found cargo in the "salvage" missions from which you are supposed to strip down ships. But they just take the cargo since it usually drops insane amount of drugs and just f*ck off to sell it. The only hard part is indeed selling it as campers wait for these folks at the selling points and a shitshow ensures called PvP ( i say shitshow cause PvP in this game riddled with bad server performance feels like playing CS with lag switches). So yeah sometimes they get lucky and the coast is clear selling stuff for millions. But i hear this is going to be nerfed soon by CIG like everything. So yeah I'd rather do ROC mining as it's more relaxing despite issues here too.
So I gave Hand Mining a try.. things started on a high but then it broke me 😅

Ohhhhh might of lost thousands to this bug and I didn’t realize it, thank you so much!!! Will keep this in mind 🙌🏽
Safe travels Commander o7

Wow! Sounds like mining has come a long way, including inventory. Hope you enjoy your time in Magda commander! Let me know how it goes 🙌🏽

The CIG has destroyed the handling of the ROC! Thanks for showing this in your video! I am experiencing the same thing!
Yea, it definitely feels a bit different since last time I ROC mined. No problem! Going to try out different ships to see if that helps speed things up, thanks for watching 🙌🏽
Nice Video, liked and subbed.
Are you gonna explore some caves too? Hand mining?
Thanks for the Like and Sub!!!
That’s actually a great idea! Jotting that down as a todo so keep an eye out for that vid 😉
Gave it a try and things went.. well, you'll see 😅

Damn, Magda is getting popular. I thought everyone would be still be over on Daymar.
Yea! Been loving Magda. Beautiful moon and large clusters of Hadanite 😅
The Nomad and Cutlass annoyed me getting the ROC in and out so bought a freelancer max. But the max's ramp is so steep that the ROC bottoms out 😂

You don't say how to turn the lasers on.
You turn it on with the “U” key I believe 👍🏽
M to turn on mining lazers

Ohhh thanks for pointing that out 🫡

I think there is a chance of it going somewhere based on the recent CitizenCon 😅 We’ll see!

People Gael be been telling me that salvaging is where it’s at. But I’m a miner at heart will will give it a shot. It’s on my todo list 😅
