In this video, Captain Zir Hayes explores rock mining on the moon Terminus in Star Citizen 4.3.1, highlighting the high concentration and value of Femolin despite challenges like harsh weather, slippery terrain, and vehicle bugs. He emphasizes the need for proper cold-weather gear and equipment, encourages viewer interaction, and provides practical insights for players interested in profitable mining gameplay.
In this video, Captain Zir Hayes embarks on a rock mining expedition on the moon Terminus in Star Citizen 4.3.1. This mining run is part of a larger series where he explores various moons and planets to evaluate the profitability and experience of rock mining in different locations. Having previously tested Stanton, he is now focusing on Pyro, aiming to provide valuable insights for blue-collar players who enjoy activities like mining, salvaging, and hauling. He encourages viewers who share these interests to like and subscribe to his channel.
Upon arriving at Terminus, Captain Zir Hayes begins scanning for rock clusters and quickly finds a promising deposit of Femolin (also called Fenmolin or Finalign). He notes the abundance of rocks in the area and starts mining, encountering some initial difficulties with the mining vehicle’s wheels locking up—a bug that requires exiting and re-entering the vehicle to fix. He also comments on the UI temperature indicator, which turns red in extreme cold, causing confusion since red is typically associated with heat.
As he continues mining, Captain Zir Hayes faces challenges with the terrain and the Great Cat Rock’s slippery surface, which causes rocks and his vehicle to slide down slopes. Despite these difficulties, he manages to collect a significant amount of Femolin. He also mentions the harsh weather conditions on Terminus, which affect gameplay by lowering his character’s body temperature and causing damage. He questions the effectiveness of in-game armor for cold protection and asks viewers for recommendations on suitable gear.
Throughout the mining run, Captain Zir Hayes highlights the high concentration of Femolin on Terminus, which makes it a lucrative location despite the tough environmental conditions. He compares Femolin’s value to other minerals, noting it ranks just behind Hatanite in worth. He also lists other minerals found in the game, emphasizing the rarity and value of each. His overall impression is that while Terminus offers great mining opportunities, players must come well-prepared with cold-weather gear, food, and equipment like the geo vehicle to navigate difficult terrain.
In conclusion, Captain Zir Hayes encourages viewers to share their own experiences and profits from rock mining on Terminus in the comments. He acknowledges the challenges posed by the moon’s weather and terrain but affirms the potential for significant profit. He signs off by promising more mining content and thanking his audience for watching, reinforcing the video’s focus on practical tips and honest evaluation for players interested in Star Citizen’s rock mining gameplay.
