Logan Shivers Year 24 Day 238 6:11 | I just had a look in an AF I know has been prospected but cannot see the prospecting details. I am not in same faction as person that prospected so I have no idea if I might be able to see the results if in same faction. There is probably privs to set for that I assume. |
Coren Vazrell Year 24 Day 238 4:14 | Okay, sooo, no shortcut and more work... grrr.. :) Thanks Evan. :) |
Evan Bluvius Year 24 Day 238 3:44 | To determine the underlying type of the field, you're going to need to prospect it to reveal some deposits. Once you've revealed some (let's say 5-10), you should be able to discern the field type based on the types of deposits found. This process isn't perfect as RNG does play a role, but in my experience it becomes pretty obvious after ~5 or so deposits as to what you can expect to find in the rest of the field. |
Coren Vazrell Year 24 Day 238 1:56 | Hi, sorry, I know this is an old post but I have a follow question to this statement from Mikel von Bianchi. :) "Dan is talking about the overall class of the field which affects which materials spawn there, which is a characteristic of the entire deep space coordinate (field) not the individual field square." To now I have found 4 different asteroid fields (3 days of hard work and no fun :) how do I know what kind they are, I have try to find info about the different field classes without luck. Asteroid Field ME XX+XXYV Asteroid Field K XX+XX Asteroid Field E XX+XX Asteroid Field VA+XX XX.1M Thanks for the help. /Coren. |
Raidan Spike Year 23 Day 310 12:03 | If there are 2 deposits within distance 2, it will just say there is a faint trace 2 squares away. It will not indicate there are 2 of them. There is a separate notification to materials for any traces of planetoids. |
Kar`tayl Verd Year 23 Day 310 8:10 | I answered my own question:“ You have completed prospecting within the Asteroid Field… You found 13,892 units of Rockivory. Sensors have picked up a strong trace for an unknown deposit 1 square away. ” Follow up question: the rules seem to read that contrary to multiple RM deposits in the same 5x5 square, you WOULD receive notifications of both the nearest RMs AND the nearest habitable asteroid in the same 5x5 square. Can anyone confirm that? |
Kar`tayl Verd Year 23 Day 310 7:27 | “You will be notified of the distance to the nearest unrevealed deposit if it is within 2 units of your location. ” Is it possible for multiple deposits to spawn in the same 5x5 Y-8 scanning area? If there are 2 deposits within distance 2, would it show “the nearest is 2” or would it mention both deposits? |
Bannor Skyglow Year 21 Day 191 19:05 | Thank you for the quick reply! |
Mikel von Bianchi Year 21 Day 191 17:27 | The calculations are independently random. There's no required cooldown between attempts. |
Bannor Skyglow Year 21 Day 191 15:27 | When prospecting and finding a deposit, but it is not revealed, you can reprospect the same square to try again. Regarding this, is there a minimum time to wait before reprospecting can be successful? I ask because I prospected 7 times within the same day, the same deposit, and failed each time. I came back after approximately 24 hours, reprospected, and succeeded on the first try. I fully acknowledge that could be RNG/coincidence. But with a 60% success rate, failing 7 times in a row was more than three sigma so I wanted to double check. Thanks. |
