Mining criticals on mining missions Level 4

Communications Center General Discussion

When a player completes a Level 4 resource extraction mission, successful and critical resource extraction increases the total amount of resources extracted from the asteroid, which violates the mission’s requirements for the total required extraction volume. The increase in the amount of ore extracted compared to the amount of ore on the asteroid makes it impossible to load the ore onto the barge, as the volume exceeds the maximum capacity of the largest barge, the Makinawa, even with the addition of cargo expanders. The number of mining missions on asteroids has also been increased by 100%, making it impractical for agents to mine resources on 4 levels. This eliminates an interesting aspect of the game.

One solution to this problem is to remove the same amount of ore from the asteroid during critical mining, as well as the amount of ore loaded into the hold, which will speed up mining and solve the problem of the volume of the extracted resource.

What’s a resource extraction mission? Does it have a progress bar, with critical hits not counting—so the hold fills and you must jettison before completion?

I am asking because i dont know

probably just referring to a L4 mining mission.
Mining missions take notes of how much ore is in the asteroid, and where crit is from thin air, it doesn’t get counted..
they need to just exclude crit from mining missions.

most often if a mission says “mine 15 kernite” thats all that is available to mine.

What’s wrong with a bit of bonus ore? It’s only a 1% chance anyways

It doesnt count towards mission ore to turn in

Ok so if you have a mission that says mine 15 kernite, there is 15 in the rock, you mine a bit and crit, you can still turn it in right? I don’t do mining missions so I may not understand how it works. I just thought it is “have X ore in station, here is a mission pocket to mine stuff”
