Mining Tool range - Page 2

10-19-2005, 16:22

I can't wait for the "ending meteor event ending" announcement, so all this damn lottery to stop and mining become again scientifical (I hope...).

Regarding the range, noone can actually prove it (without the code source from MA), BUT: with my best mastered tool (103 it is) the average of my findings is "modest", while with tt the average of my finds is "poor". There.

This is a copy from a 100probe/100bomb run I did last week with 105's

Oil:
p395
p240
vp285
p129
p450
vp368
Amp220
Amp353
p438
p423

..needless to say I stopped keeping records soon after this, since was painfully obvious that size/depth had no relation. The results were the same for other matters/ores.

did u mastered 105? i am sure not. so u're not using it at full potential, right?

I can't say me and Silver have different views.

Silver is right that when using a tool u master u will find more - that's a fact. I've used the MD50 alot (which I still not master) and found nothing, then bombed with the OF103 and found a deposit at same spot at same time.

What I am saying is that Depth and Range is bogus in current mining system - do not buy a high-end gear looking at the range or depth. Well that's my opinion.

Well, anyway, the interesting thing is that the difference between the tools when it comes to range is very very small. I mean what kind of difference can 0.5 - 1 meter in range make? Beats me.

lets say the HOF is that 1 M away? would you rather go without it, than with it?

Also, if you use alot of bombs/probes, the total M that is added will ad to alot.

100 squere M of are coverd extra with 100 bombs. Bigger area = bigger chance to hit/find.

I didnt read the other posts, so sorry if anything i said here gas been mentioned before!

that is correct for my 105 finder, though my 105 extractor lacks .1 before being mastered.

But, I was saying that I failed (from the records that I made) to see a relationship between size and depth of a deposit. Since some were under the impression that larger deposits are found deeper, therefore need a detector that finds things deeper to find larger deposits. In fact from my records of that mining trip, just the opposite seemed true, that more times than not the larger deposit was closer to the surface than the very smaller ones. The higher lvl finders should in theory find "more" deposits than a tt one (larger search area), if you have mastered it or not.

The extractors are a different story, though I need to luck onto a couple hundred ped lyst deposit to get any decent test results, as the limited testing I have been able to do have been too short on smaller deposits.

In the future Ill most likely be using a tt extractor with a 105 for backup and for when a need a fast extraction, and a 105 detector (for the added ability to find more deposits). Its hard to use a tt driller though, they are so darn slowwww.

LOL!! You havent figured it out yet??
The depth aint about SIZE but something else..
If you havent figured out what that is, i sure as hell wont hand it to you..

why should THAT be the relation? maybe depth has to do with... probability of finds? or otherthings?

Tiger, you're so mean

I think he meant to say that depth=type or total TT of resource

Therefore, higher depths, higher TT resource types found... thats how you get your rugaritz, manganite, etc

Unless of course... you want to mine out lyst and fight with all the other miners in the world for it
