Question: Team Mining

[Zedrick Stone]

Hello I have done a search for this and the only things that come up are team hunting or two+ year old mining posts. My wife and I both mine in Entropia, she for ores and I for En-matters, I know there are places where both ores and en-matters overlap, and when we go out mining together these are the type of places we go. My question is because of how the loot pool works hunting, mining, crafting, are we working against each other by bombing/probing the same field? or is it possible to bomb for one get a claim and bomb for the other in same spot and get a claim as well? or first person gets a claim then move on as that "Mining Loot field" is now depleted and will not provide the other resource?

I used to go on mixed ore/enmatter runs myself, and never had any problems. I would bomb and probe the exactly same spot, and sometimes i'd have 2 claims, sometimes 1, sometimes nothing. But overall return was normal, and not smaller than during one-type-only runs.

So, you shouldn't have any problems with that. However you should avoid both doing ores or both doing enmatters at the same time, as it can have strange results. (I have tested this myself on time, with different finders though, but still had a terrible results.)

Hope this answers your question
