In this video, the creator explores rock mining on the moon Adir in Star Citizen, finding that the mineral distribution is overwhelmingly dominated by low-value Glycosite, making it an unprofitable location for mining. They share gameplay insights, encourage community feedback on improving the mining mechanics, and conclude that players should consider other moons for more rewarding mining opportunities.
In this video, the creator embarks on a rock mining expedition on the moon Adir in Star Citizen, as part of a larger rock mining series that also covers other locations like Stanton, Ver, and Fuego. The host expresses some fondness for Fuego from previous explorations but focuses on Adir in this episode. Upon arrival, they quickly locate the OM1 mining site and begin their descent to start scanning for valuable minerals.
The initial finds on Adir include Black Cosite, which is acknowledged as not being particularly valuable for mining purposes. The host proceeds to extract minerals from the rocks, sharing gameplay insights and suggesting that the mining mechanic could benefit from more interactive elements, such as modules that affect the mining bar’s speed and window size. They encourage viewers to share their thoughts on how the rock mining gameplay could be improved.
As the mining continues, the predominant mineral found is Glycosite, which appears repeatedly across different clusters. The host notes that the abundance of Glycosite is disappointing and hints that this might result in a shorter video due to the lack of variety and higher-value minerals. They continue to mine the clusters, hoping to find something better but mostly encountering the same mineral.
Towards the end of the video, the host summarizes the findings, revealing that Adir has a 95% chance of Glycosite and only a 5% chance of Dolvine, making it a poor choice for profitable rock mining. They conclude that Adir is not a recommended moon for rock mining activities based on their experience and the mineral distribution data. The video wraps up with a call to the audience to share their opinions on the best blue-collar jobs in Star Citizen, including rock mining, salvaging, prospecting, hauling, and medical roles.
Overall, the video provides a detailed look at rock mining on Adir, highlighting the challenges and limited rewards of mining on this moon. It offers valuable insights for players considering where to focus their mining efforts and invites community engagement to improve the gameplay experience. The host signs off with a promise to continue exploring other locations in the series.
