at 18:00 you found a rock that was only suitable for a prospector or bigger to mine. You need to scan for rocks that appear within 4km and resolve into clusters of diamond icons - those are 90%+ likely to be ROC mineables. Hope you work this out. You need to go into Mining mode (press M) and point at the rock which will scan and tell you its contents. You can also go into extraction mode to hoover up all the gems you liberated from their stone tomb. You used to just press M to swap between modes so left alt and left click is new so I would have been lost too - haven't roc mined this patch mainly cuz servers have been shite. You sell your gems at the mining sites on the moons (dolivine is the cheapest then aphorite and then hadanite). you rented the roc for 13k. You should stay out and mine hadanite till the roc is full then sell at the mining outposts on the same moon and rinse repeat
Thank you for the comment! I should have looked into the key binds before I stared mining lol. But, I actually had some fun and hopefully next time I will make a bit more profit :)
Watch the ROC's cargo space filling up. You only filled it to 1% of its capacity. Also, if you go to the North pole (OM1), you will be in permanent sunlight.
Thank you for the comment! I was only wanting to see what I could make in a short session this time. Now I know you can make some good credits I will be going back out for a longer session. Great tip on going to the north pole! Ho ho ho... :D
you used to be able to right click when you have mining mode activated to enable the tractorbeam to suck in the gems :) But I guess cig changed the default keybind :D Man this makes me want to dust off my old roc.
Hey! Thank you for the comment! That's the whole point of my videos... I don't spend hours watching others online "learning" how to play SC. I want to show what it is like to jump straight in and play the game. That said. I have had to, from time to time, refer to Google or ask a Corp friend for help... If you want videos showing unrealistic polished play, or players with perfect knowledge of every intracity, bug work around, and nuance of SC as it is today. May I suggest you watch some of the other creators out there, there are sooooooo many to choose from :P

Thank you for watching and for the comment! DO IT!
Maybe you should learn before you make a video.
