© S4G / CIG What are the risks of caves?Ĭurrently, caves are often populated by trigger-happy player killers. Hadanite deposits in Star Citizen can be identified by their light purple veins and gemstone inclusions. But Hadanite and Aphorite can hardly be distinguished in the game, so you have to scan them with your multitool (more about this below). Veins from Hadanite deposits are pink to light purple, Aphorite is purple and Dolivine is green. Resource depots for Hadanite, Aphorite and Dolivine have a colored grain, veins run through the stone and pieces of gemstone stick out. Simple: In the orbit of the planets or moons accept the investigation missions (Looking for Missing Persons) in your mobiGlas, they lead directly into caves.Very complicated and hardly promising: Fly with a spaceship over moons and planets and find with zoom or on sight the rock formations which mark the cave entrance.There are currently these known ways to find unmarked caves: Other caves are difficult to find because they are not marked.

There are a few marked caves that can be found via the StarMap in the mobiGlas or via the “B” key in the orbit of a planet / moon. I’ll explain how this works in the section Mining guide on foot: This is how FPS or hand mining works. © S4G / CIG Finding gemstone deposits for FPS miningįirst – and despite the risk of player killers lurking there – you should search for caves and mine gems with the Multitool. There are also others, for example with a turquoise / green or dark surface. Such boulders are resource deposits in Star Citizen. You can see an example in the following screenshot. You can also visually search for mineable rocks, as they have their own texture. This reduces the radius, but increases the accuracy and displays more resource deposits. Use the “C” and “V” buttons to change the scan radius to 2x or even 4x. Potential mining resources are indicated by large cuboid grids as in the screenshot above.įly into such an area and repeat the scan to find resource deposits. The cuboid indicator in Star Citizen shows after a scan in which area we have to search for resource deposits.

Pro Tip: With the Argo MOLE the pilot and each player in a mining turret can independently trigger a scan ping.Which spaceships and Vehicles can be used for Mining in Star Citizen? You can also take so-called QuikFlares (25 aUEC each) with you to mark your way in labyrinthine caves and find your way out more quickly.

You should definitely invest in the following for FPS or hand mining: However, for particularly cold or hot environments you should choose the Novikov or Pembroke suit. This increases your inventory significantly, which means longer mining trips and more profit. You get the equipment for example at Tammany and Sons in Loreville (Hurston) or in the Mining Support Centers of Refineries. Therefore I recommend to buy the MacFlex Arms Orange “Rucksack” Core. For this you also need the right attachment, an Ore Bit Mining-Attachement.Ī few gems will fit into your standard inventory, but not a lot. Small resource deposits in caves can be extracted with the Pyro RYT Multitool.
