Homast Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 Hello again Eclipsians, I'm coming right back atcha with a new suggestion, This time, small, but powerful tweaks to Mining, specifically, for Lithium and Sodium. As it currently stands, Mining for Lithium and Sodium is one of the worst anticipated things someone who regularly cooks drugs can do. This is due to a number of reasons, chief among them being, It takes FAR too long to gather a sizable amount. (About 200 an hour). As it currently stands, this was attempted to be remedied through the increase of spawned nodes for both Lithium and Sodium, however this does not actually reduce the time it takes to gather alone, It just means you can have an extra person gathering at one time. (Since nodes spawn relatively quick, There's almost always 3 at a time), For most, doing effectively 2 cooks worth of time for something that pays similarly to a 3 ingredient drug, isn't worth it. My suggestion is as follows: Make it a chance for each mining "instance" to provide 1-4 pieces of Sodium/Lithium per successful mine. This not only has the potential to decrease the time it takes, but it also creates a smaller amount of incentive to make drugs that require a 4th ingredient. It has a minor impact on the whole of the gather, but if luck permits, you can effectively turn a 5 hour mining session, into a 1 hour and 15 minute one. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
