Basic Mining Tutorial

[ruskea]

btw ive always been wondering the depth thing... when u use tt finder u can find from 7m and or lower... but when u use better finders u never find that low???!? why? if there is find that u can find with tt finder that is at 7m why cant u find it with of212 at 7m? this has been wondering me always

does it go like this... better finder u have the more deeper u find (only) and leave the deposits that are lower to ppl with noobie equipment...
coz mostly found my deposits at 600m+ depth very rare if found under 600m

coz when i had my mining skills and 212 finder i dropped some bombs no resource found and 10sec later a dude goes the same spot i just bombed and gets a global... and i think that noob didnt have more skills than i..

maybe that would be easy to test.. first u drop with better finder then u drop with tt finder to the same spot.. never had peds to waste this kinda experiment but maybe someone can light me a little :F

well, could be worse i guess

but i would ask before i run after a miner and watch him all the time
weird

i used that when i started this game asked some miners if i could watch them when they mine and learn a little :/

usually the tactic is bomb...run.......bomb.. depo found another bomb near claim... extract... run...bomb ...etc

with the new "insta claim" it is kinda hard to prove actually, maybe this depo just spawned, call it bad timing

some VUs ago you had to go near the location of the claim to get the rod
and you could cancel it before you claimed
when you bombed again you found the depo again usually (afaik, i didn't mine much back in the days)

imo insta claim was just introduced to avoid this kind of research
especially with amps
and not to help miners, although it is a nice side effect

well old times i had this vision that would the depo grow if u first find it without amp and then bomb with amp.. but didnt work ) that woulda been nice :F tried that with my bro

i have a question....
I saw for the first time a drill. How do i aquire one and how do i use it?

[Wollongong]

I'd give a rep, if I hadn't done that in the latest guide already.

So eh... this means that you just drop bombs at random, basically?

depends on your tactic

i use another one lately

basically that i try to have a certain distance between drops

you gotta test a bit on your own

A question right now is for me... Isnt there any UL amps like 103 or something? i waste my peds buying those darned amps costing ab 150 ped and have 50 bombs and *w00t* "The thing you want to use is broken"

And 50 ped bombs and a 150 ped amp and no finds?

That makes me so freaked up..

what about better places for mining? Where? *want a hof* lol

[Alice]

there are unL amps

i think some are going for 50 000 ped atm ?
not sure about the price, but there should be at least 1 available
