Being able to break rocks is great and all, but what you really want to find is ores. | Being able to break rocks is great and all, but what you really want to find is ores. If you've activated your automatic mining scanner (screen is green instead of black), you'll see rocks flash with different colored icons every few seconds. These rocks contain ores (or gibonite, which will be discussed shortly). Generally, you'll want to collect some of everything as new mining tools require a variety of ores, but diamonds and bluespace crystals are the rarest and most valuable materials you can collect. Ores are an item and can be stored anywhere, but your mining satchel is a fast way to pick them up. Walking over ores while a mining satchel is in your pocket or on your belt will automatically place it in the satchel. Thing is, the satchel has limited space. | ||
This is where ore boxes come in handy, an ore box can hold unlimited ores, but you'll need to pull it around to use it effectively. Either hit the ore box with your satchel to unload any ores in the satchel into the ore box, or drag the box behind you when picking up ores to automatically dump them into the satchel. | |||
