In this video, the creator completes a challenging solo Prospector mining session on Vuur in the Pyro system, highlighting the ship’s limited cargo capacity and the tedious process of mining valuable ores like Quantanium. They recommend Vuur for its decent Quantanium presence but stress that better equipment or teamwork is needed for efficient mining, inviting viewers to share their own experiences.
In this video, the creator finally completes Prospector mining in the Pyro system, specifically on the moon Vuur. They express relief and some frustration, noting that the process has been quite tedious and challenging. The main issue highlighted is the Prospector ship’s limited cargo capacity, which makes mining in such a large system inefficient. The frequent need to travel long distances to refine the ore further adds to the difficulty, making the experience less enjoyable.
The mining session begins with scanning various mineral deposits, many of which are difficult or impossible to break, especially the highly sought-after Quantanium. The creator tries to focus on valuable ores like gold and Beexalite but often encounters frustrating “impossible” windows that prevent effective mining. Despite these setbacks, they manage to collect some decent percentages of gold and other minerals by carefully adjusting the mining laser’s power to break the rocks within the optimal window.
Throughout the video, the creator notes the abundance of certain materials like Quantanium, gold, and Corundum on Vuur. However, the lack of a Mole ship or a cooperative mining partner makes it challenging to efficiently harvest the more valuable ores. They express a desire for better tools or teamwork to improve the mining experience, as solo mining with the Prospector can be slow and frustrating, especially when dealing with “impossible” break windows.
After collecting and filling their cargo, the creator returns to the refining station to process the ore. They summarize the approximate percentages of various minerals found on Vuur, confirming the presence of Quantanium at about 6%, which they found to be relatively high compared to other moons in the Pyro system. The refining process takes several hours in-game, and once completed, they sell the refined materials, expressing satisfaction at finally finishing this part of their mining journey.
In conclusion, the creator recommends Vuur as a good location for Prospector mining due to its decent Quantanium presence, but emphasizes the need for better equipment or teamwork to maximize efficiency. They hint at making a follow-up video discussing the pros and cons of mining in the Pyro system. The video ends with an invitation for viewers to share their own experiences and best mining hauls from Vuur, encouraging community engagement and discussion.
