Experiment recruiting

ok guys, nice feedback so far.. we shouldn't sweat too much until VU, i don't want to find out smth which will change

- as a first xp, i think we can mine a field in 3-4 hours "shifts".. just a first idea..

i'll keep uptodate, just keep posting if interested and, immediately after the VU i'll coagulate the team and make the plan. maybe some ideas will come up while at it.

cya around

regards,

K

I would definitely like to help out in this effort... I think more detailed and publicly available information on mining would benefit the community as a whole. As far as skills, I am extremely noobish... maybe 170 mining and 50 prospecting. But, if we want to get a good feel for how much skills affect mining success, all skill levels will be needed for comparison...

Anyway, shoot me a PM so we can talk about it in more detail.


PS +rep for you!

Well..I think it's a good idea to mine a filed for time to time .. but we need a field with mierals to do it..a field where no other avantars would mine..

First i think we must take some ppl, fine a forgoten part of land, with some minerlas..not low on quantity of mierals but medium or hight..then we can chose ppl who will mine it.

I think it would be a good idea to write cordigates of all calims.
I dont know if also this would be a good idea..but i think it is a only way to find how mierals are spawned..

If we find resorce and claim it, then dont mine it but put another bomb and ind if there is another one..i think we should write the cordignates and als write which calim was first and aslo connections to other claims to have the shape of it.

I think it would be useful in finding out if mierals are moving or just randomizly put on grund..

I have must much ideas what we can check and how we can do it.
But i think the most importatnt thig is that if we start doing this faster we will have more data to check and analize.

Sorry for so long post :P i just like to write all i have on my mind

that is what i also have in mind.

find a field. it is said that fields are characterized by 3-4 ores. first thing is to have a pretty clear delimitation of the fields. we don't really care if more avatars come and mine there. we should only survey that specific area for a week let's say, one avatar coming there each 2 hours or so. even if another one would come, on a week term we should get a clear picture of how things go.

i mine even before the VU, but a large experiment i think should be done only after, i don't want me and other ppl happy spending peds for a most unsure result.

while doing that, we can also make 2-3 avatars mining in the same time, to make some comparison regarding skills and tools.

that is the first step we should take. after 1-2 week, depending on the conclusions, we cand decide what to do further.

as I said, don't expect any initiative from me until VU comes. however, if u by any chance discover some sort of system, track it down for verifying after the VU. when I say system, I mean from range of detection to average qty find/time/area based/everything else mining-related :-)

Keep in touch,

K

Later edit: I am very cautious that a field can be characterized as "rich", "medium" or "low", seems a random figure here

An interesting idea regarding the field would be to talk to an LA owner/soc who's land is confirmed to have ores, ask them to drop maturity & density to rock bottom (maturity low if the miners can't kill the bigger ones), they might do it, since you'd be competely emptying their mining field every 4 hours...

But I don't see how you're going to keep other miners from coming along and messing it up

Sure..i aslo think that we must wait until next VU.

I only dont know if the equipment infuence a deposit..hmm..i must chec one place..if the resorce have spawn there in the same position, i wasn there for a week.

So let's hope new VU will come quick

I can share one thing more.. but i dont know if that was accident in work or something else.

I found igni resorce, 2.1 PED's , then i went to other place put bomb and find also igni resorce at 2.1 PED's, the same number of stones..i wrote cordignates of first and second. The i make a vector from it and went looking if this resorce was swapned allredy in other palce. i tryied to move at square but it was a failure, at triangle i found one more resorce, but it was also failure, i check only one kind of triangle. i didnt check rest

The worst think was when i was going thrue a line shaped way, i thought i would find also the same resorce..but the other miner was there and he told me that he has found also igni .. i didnt know if this was the same he didint tell me numer of stones in it....i was so close to find out if the resorces are linear (moved by vectors) spawned, but i lost it cause other preson was mining there, and he proboaby mined my resorce (i calucated a place of it by adding cordignates of vector to the last cordigates of found resorce, vector was something like (-505, 485) but i dont remaber it now)..ehh..bad luck to me

i will try this method of spawing resorces in close future

i dunno if ores have a general direction of spawning. nice to see u react quickly :-) that's the spirit. "stay observant of the surroundings" (Perception, that is :-))

If on contintent is realy put some matrix (net) of minerals.some eyes of net can be empty, some can be full..i found that from time to time (not even is VU was) minerals can disappera from spot..i had one great spot( some signi, sub and great resorces in it)..but now it is empty .. i wait a week and it is still empty..well i think minerals can move from one eye of net (matrix) to another..but i dont know it is just a theory..and i dont know how they exacly move

The best way to find out about matrix on continted is to find out how it is build.and build it on eudoria map..so we could see how it fit to continet..then we can check what is at each square of this net .. or it is in other way ..hmm..cilindrics matix is easier control by game, but lg arent cilindrics. Or lg has thier onw rulez..

well just dont know..
if anybody have some more idea's plz write it..or if anybody know about matirx on eudoria continet. I'm realy intrested in this. Only group of miners can find a secreat of mining in PE..

The more of calypso miners will be intrested in this project the more infromation we will have..and mining will be easier

i'm going back to find one next thing ^^

I'd be very interested in this as a fairly noobish miner.
if you could determine an approximate cost to invest in the experiment it would be easier for volunteers to determine if they can participate or not.

Plus, you are going to need several rules of conduct;

1) Sticking to exact positioning etc. - you will need an easy and workable methodology for this.

2) Logging results in some structure fashion, maybe a website of some description?

3) Resource Level at which a participant is allowed to 'break away' from the experiment to receive their find i.e. if a participant happens to come accross a 'huge' or 'enormous' deposit they wuold be unlikely to not mark it and offer another participant to try to find it to detect the range!
Also the effect on the results of such 'breakaways' - depleting the field etc.


Nudge me when you're ready to go!

very good feed-back, thankx.

resources envolved: at ur free choice.

when, as an example, compare the detection range comparisons with different tools/skills with 1 other miner u will probably spend 2-5 peds.

when we'll harvest a specific field on a regular shift base (let;s say a 2 hours cycle), u need about 221 bombs/probes to cover an area of 1000x1000.

that will be better calculated when we will choose a specific area.

of course, if two miners rule tests one near another and one of them would hit a large deposit (greater than average), he will have full rights upon it.

for testing purposes, an average is more than enough.

if we raise enough forces, a website with a graphical representation of finds and updates would be very useful, unfortunately i am not skilled in that direction. then again, if we are many, i am sure one solution will come out.

i am just the initiator, i don't want nor some kind of priviledges or extra expenses on this project, i want it to be made by a team/comunity.
