In this video, the content creator introduces an updated mining build for the game, specifically for multiplayer. They refer to it as the “Jolly Green Giant Killer” build. The build focuses on maximizing the green zone for mining lasers by using Hofstede twos in all three slots of the mining ship. The Hofstede lasers provide a 20% increase to the green zone and have lower minimum laser power. The build also includes four Focus 3 modules and two additional flexible module slots. The video demonstrates the build in action, showing how it effectively cracks large rocks with a coordinated crew.
The content creator emphasizes the importance of focusing on tier one materials like Taranite, Bexalite, gold, and Quantanium when mining with a full crew, as higher-tier materials may not be as lucrative. They provide tips on using the build effectively, such as coordinating breaks by designating targets with extraction mode and using the torpid module for faster cracking. The video also mentions the potential rebalancing of the build in future patches, as game designers often make adjustments to maintain balance and prevent players from optimizing the fun out of the game.
Overall, the “Jolly Green Giant Killer” build offers a highly efficient and coordinated approach to mining large rocks in multiplayer. The video serves as a guide for players interested in maximizing their mining efficiency and earnings, while also acknowledging the possibility of future changes to the build’s effectiveness.
