Mining Tritium at 300t per hour, Elite Dangerous

- Note that I can only do this in certain rings, and with HOTAS (struggling with Gamepad). Flat, dense rings like this tend to be good with sub-surface rocks appearing fairly close together in clusters. I do a combo of laser and sub-surface, with focus on sub-surface. Ignore anything less than 10%, fast-spinning rocks and surface deposits.
I got distracted by some LTD's, since I'm near Colonia. In the void, I ignore anything that isn't Tritium. Also, sorry for the lag. Potato PC and recording while playing is a little too much. It set my timing off a little, but this is anyhow pretty much how a fairly relaxed run looks like.

So who else is gon a be camping outside jameson memorial waiting for that glorious python mk 2?
It might be a limited edition of 100, only available from Beagle Point. Race you there?
Jameson's gonna be sold out of mk2s after I get my fleet order in - don't worry, they'll be selling the mk1 at a discount :D
I will be at I Sola Prospect when it drops ;)
@@Sighman😂😂😂😂
@@sainrok at the end of it all mk 1 is still more versitile
Ahh precious Tritium
I wish I had a flight stick and throttle and stuff, seems so smooth as you move around lol
Yeah, I can sorta play with a gamepad, but not like this...
I picked up an x52 a few years back. This is probably the best game for Hotas I've played to date
It looks beautiful. Especially rotating with the asteroid when the subsurface rocket is working.
I looked at your Cutter's design. My fit is very similar to yours, it's almost 1:1, but I don't understand why a 7A Universal Limpet Controller is needed??? Six collector limpets (2*5A) are usually enough for tritium mining. Instead of the universal 7A, I have an 8E cargo for 256t installed.
I agree that 6 is enough for sub-subsurface, just barely. When you hit the deepest deposits and there's some spin to the rock, all 8 from the universal are sometimes in use.
I alternate between sub and laser, partly to take a breather now and then from the spinny-spin, partly because with 14 limpets and a weapons focused distro, laser mining a 30% rock when I find it is about as fast at sub-surface.
Note: I go extreme with this, using Tritium mining to boost deliveries to the STAR initiative. So occasionally mining 4k in less than two days to top off a depot delivery... I don't recommend doing that on a regular basis XD
Say, what's your ship kit, might wanna use that in the future for one of my Adder ships, including that displacement drill and the collector limpet?
Nice flying CMDR ! O7
Beautiful piloting! What HOTAS do you use?
Why thank you! I use the Thrustmaster T-16000M and TWCS Throttle. Plenty of buttons and a nice layout for Elite. Also, quite budget friendly.
Wish we could bring some huge ship with crazy mining laser to just mine through these asteroids with super ease.
Try the T-10 with 9x modified mining lasers! Needs permit unlock and mats per laser, but totally worth it.
As a returning player after several years whats the general ring type to look for tritium? Normally im making money wherever i can and then just buy it but this could be an alternative 😂
Good rings are somewhat rare. As a squad dedicated to mining in the void, we've found quite a few and are mapping them. Icy rings, of course. Then generally if they're flat, like pancake flat, and preferably dense.
Thanks for the tip o7
So nice to see some sub-surface mining being done. So far as I'm concerned, it takes the most skill of all the mining types to do well at. Such a pity it got so badly nerfed compared to the other methods!
deep core is the hardest
@@zanzailmagnifico6730 - No, it's not. Getting deep core mining right is a lot easier than being consistently good at sub-surface.
@@Garryck-1 the sub surface mini game is easier, although actually even the deep core ones are not difficult, it also depends on what type of player you are, my problem is that I have terrible aim so i struggle to aim the fissures
@@zanzailmagnifico6730 - sounds a lot like you need a better controller. For this game, console-style controllers are vastly inferior to even a cheap HOTAS setup.
@@Garryck-1 I never had a problem with console controller for core mining. I think it's more what you're used too and practice
what kinda profit do ya get from this?
(I used to do void opal core mining when that was crazy)
Tritium is not for profit... But a cargo hold full of plat won't fuel your carrier! XD -Been doing Tritium mining to reach further and deliver more as a STAR fleet resupply carrier.
@@ruffleif8381 just as i imagined , and i do the same (but just for myself )
Well however you spell it!
Isn’t a mining limpet controller all that’s needed?
you're insane to not have super cruise assist. With the super cruise assist trick, it makes delivering your loads (heh) SIGNIFICANTLY faster.
No space for SCA on my miner. On my space truck, for sure!
If I ever get a Peyton mk2 ship I’ll use it for mining!
wont be any good , not enough cargo space , its a fighting vessel
Mining Tritium at 300t per hour may be but not for beginner. At display 4 i only see 100t.
where? in a cutter in the deep black at a double overlap I was lucky to average 100 tons an hour.
I've not been playing the game for a while but it seems overlaps got nerfed. I'm not even looking for that now. I've been in overlaps where I could hardly get 100 tons per hour too. Try Kopernik B 7. Pancake flat and dense is usually good for Tritium.
@@ruffleif8381 i was still pretty new about the time LTDs were getting nerfed. The eggs used to be the ultimate mining. What I call total BS on was core mining getting nerfed. Lasering platinum is meta for mining and its not that good. Massacre doom stacks or exo bio are way better credits per hour. Apparently goid hunting at the spires is crazy profits too. I never tried stacking AX missions though. Just a few while fragging odd murder flowers at burnt settlements.
@@mikewaterfield3599 They've always struggled with balancing this game XD. On my part, I've never really been into the grinds, whether for credit or otherwise. Just played the game for years and do the parts that I enjoy. Somehow I end up with enough mats and credits along the way, but am never really in a hurry. After all, it's a game without an endgame, so why hurry to nothing?
i dont beleive most of these mining claims tbh a lot of hot air , and ive been mining before limpet mines were invented
@@davewright8206 ? I don’t want to picture that. Running a cutter with no fuel scoop I have managed 200+ for things like painite or LTD’s before the nerf. Generally in optimal conditions I would average 150-200. 100 tons or so in averaging conditions. In the deep black I found my mining Python just more enjoyable for that very reason. Personally I think Fdev needs to seriously improve core mining payouts. Or at least put them back to where they were a few years ago. Back then a Keelback in an hour or so could net 100-150m just hunting cores. A way more enjoyable play loop than laser mining.
Never knew laser mining was that profitable i used to stick to the boom boom deep core stuff.
I only in this game wish mining was safe from banditry by space bandits but it isn’t sorry! Why do they keep stealing it from me in this game? Why?
No pirates outside of the Bubble! -That's where I like to mine ;-).
Drop in the belt not a RES site.
Get scanned once - they give a fck about limpets.
Pirate cries and pisses off eventually.
Start mining.
Profit.
It aint that hard.
@@billklatsch5058 they dont give a fk about limpets
man, rolling with a cutter for mining. And it's still half the rate that most players would consider acceptable for their casual playtime.
I think you missed the point... This is Tritium. Not a credit grinder thing to do, but keeps your FC running in the void. And the rate is about twice what the community seems to think is standard.
Crazy how a dev can abandon the game and people still play it
There's a very dedicated core community. And despite technical challenges, it's always been a very intriguing thing to have the entire actual Milkyway Galaxy as your sandbox. I love this game!
They just announced good shit for the game. new ships and even a powerplay revamp. Can t wait !
One dev of many. And his departure was due to a downsizing, is all. He wasn't "abandoning" the game.
It was never abandoned. A bunch of people have been making clickbaity doom videos for the past year even as updates and new content kept coming. They just ignored all of that and continued to assert the game was dead.
Now there's a whole year of content announced, and to quote one famous Doomtuber in their recent video... "well, it seems I was wrong."
FDev has not abandoned the game. They just announced an update for the 18th.
