  • Learn to master the Argo Mole in this Advanced Mining Guide
    The Argo mole is traditionally a multi crew ship allowing for a pilot in addition to 3 separate laser operators. While this is extremely useful, not everyone has 3 friends to tag along because we are all great big weirdos that spend too much money on this game. ANYWAY, I quite often get asked what set up I am running and also what are some of the nifty things I have learned along the way. In this guide I will cover just those things. They snuck a few changes into the Mole for the 3.23 update and make things slightly different than we are used to. Don't worry, I have got you covered. Solo mole mining can be a bit time consuming if you are unsure what to do, if you follow my tips and set up; it will be a walk in the Orison Park. You will need a fair bit of aUEC set aside to complete set up your mole based on this guide as many of the components are quite expensive. All the components shown for ship systems can be purchased at Cousin Crows at Orison. All mining laser can be purchased in Lorville and mining gadgets along with modules vary by location. I will link the universal item finder around here somewhere to assist you in your quest.
    I really appreciate all of you for what you do for this channel and watching. Keep showing up for yourself every day and I will see you in the next one. o7

    I use the Hof2 on the nose because it'll crack most under 15k, has a bigger charge window, lower min power so easier for most rocks....and center turret is quicker getting in and out. The Helix w/surge and/or stampede is my go to for big stuff on port side, but a bit tricky for general use on most rocks. Downside is range mismatch so I usually have to reposition after cracking a big rock w/the Helix to clean-up with the Hof2, but it's worth the tradeoff. I also have an identical Helix starboard side as a backup in case I blow or expend modules on left Helix and landing/exiting to replace modules takes too much time.

    great information, thank you! i've got my mole kitted out nicely thanks to your video!
    just one point regarding waiting for the elevator to exit, what i like to do is map a key to open external doors (i map to "/"), and u can tap that as u're landing or just before stepping out of the cockpit seat, and it will be open by the time u get there.

  • @commanderroddi7742

    As for the laser order, when eve you put on a new laster, it swaps their possition so you have to kind of do trial and error to see if you got the laser you want in the right spot.
    But thanks for video. I've took a LONG break from SC courtesy of 3.18, and I haven't mined in for ever, so this helps a lot, to find out how to equip a MOLE and so on. I do wish they'd label turrets properly (LIke, Center, Right or Starboard or Port/Left and so on rather than, well, in my manager it sjust all say "Weapon"

    • @epic_grayfox
      @epic_grayfox  2 місяці тому +3

      A little trick for that is to equip the helix first at the bottom then you always know it's in the right spot, the hofstedes kinda don't matter because left or right is no different

    the info here is still really good, as of current patch picking up gadgets will just kill you, and don't blink when are used, but can still be used making them about 20k one time use tricks. Still absolute worth cost investment to get that juicy rock with quant

    It would be awesome to get a part 2 and maybe 3 to this were you show how to break the more difficult rocks. I know you do this in your streams and i also found a vid from 11 months ago but so many things change i would love to see more 3.23 content, what is working now. Mining is hard to master 😊

  • @mastertrader8144
    @mastertrader8144 2 місяці тому +3

    Hi i tried this setup last night, i really like the right laser for cracking smaller rocks. But the biggest rock i was able to crack was 19k, the 30k are impossible to crack with the helix even when i activate stampede. What am i doing wrong?

  • @Sludgebuster
    @Sludgebuster 2 місяці тому +1

    I'm not sold on the benefits of Torrents myself. My Preferred Solo is: Hof2, Focus3 Focus 3; Hof2, Surge, Reiger C3; Helix, Surge, Surge, Stamp... I like the better power

    • @epic_grayfox
      @epic_grayfox  2 місяці тому +1

    Can you do a short video going over some of the bugs and workarounds?
    For example multicrew lasers being out of alignment for other crew members and ping results not showing correctly.

    • @epic_grayfox
      @epic_grayfox  2 місяці тому

      Well the mining laser thing doesn't have much of a work around. There I'd a confirmed report on the issue council for that

    • @Lucky180
      @Lucky180 12 днів тому

      For us the lasers being unaligned only happens when there is somone in the pilot seat and the weapons are turned on (toggle with P), as long as you either don't have someone in the seat or make sure to turn off the weapons you should be good.

  • @mastertrader8144
    @mastertrader8144 2 місяці тому

    Hi i managed to find 30k rocks and used the stampede. First try i activated the stampede at 100% laser power and the rock overcharged immediately and i lost it. Second time i was more careful and started stampede at 70% dialled up and got it in the green. Then it went into the red and i turned laser off. Next i tried 4 more times but it would not get up far enough no matter what i tried. It is hard to figure out. It was a 25k quant rock so i really need to figure this stampede out lol😅

  • @TheMeanDM
    @TheMeanDM 2 місяці тому +1

    Good stuff!
    Quick question...the Optimal range.
    I noticed on the big rock you were cracking that you were in the "hazard" stripe range (too close).
    Have you seen/experienced rocks where you don't actually get a Green Optimal range? I saw a few like this recently.

    • @epic_grayfox
      @epic_grayfox  2 місяці тому +2

      Yes, i have! This happens because there is such a large quantity of hazardous ores(typically taranite, bexalite or quant) that they hazard area is huge. I've seen it take up the entire distance sometimes.
      This is fine, as long as you are not way over charging the rock, you should be okay. Especially if you have upgraded shields, the most you'll hear is the audible que of "shields under attack" the most in repairs I've paid is like 2k. The mole is really tanky. It'll launch you spinning into orbit before it blows you up lol

    @BluEskY0r 2 місяці тому +1

    thx for the guide! I have one question.... In the past I thought if you are cracking a rock and get into the overcharge window and your rock overcharges but the it drops back to the green window but is still got some "red" overcharge left - it would get you less out of your rock ? Is that still true ? I hope you guys know what I mean ?
    thx for the nice guide!

    • @epic_grayfox
      @epic_grayfox  2 місяці тому +1

      Yes, that will still cost you sub fragments. It depends on how "overcharged" the rock becomes. Just a little red may not even cost you anything. A lot of red could cost you most of the rock, just depends.

  • @Maxillz
    @Maxillz 2 місяці тому +2

    Do you recommend surface mining over asteroid mining?

    • @epic_grayfox
      @epic_grayfox  2 місяці тому +1

      Hands down surface mining. Surface mining you can find clusters of 4-8 rocks together, some prospector sized and some mole sized. Asteroids you are flying between asteroids that are often times 7-10km apart just to scan 1 rock.
      In a prospector, asteroid mining is fine, it is also okay if you have atleast one other person in the mole.
      For solo mole, surface all the way.

    Wait you’re saying Mole lasers have the same stats as Prospector lasers except for more inert filtering and more range?
    How does a Mole break the larger rocks then?

      They have more power too. I apologize if that was a bit misleading.

    • @epic_grayfox
      @epic_grayfox  2 місяці тому

      Server instability can be a cause of this as well. I've ran into issues where a rock size I easily break at 40% power I can't even get to charge at 100% power with the stampede on. Sometimes SC doesn't wanna cooperate 🤷‍♂️

    • @epic_grayfox
      @epic_grayfox  2 місяці тому +1

      It really depends. On average probably between 400k-700k an hour. You can really push it much further but it is really about luck. A quantanium haul mixed with other stuff can easily push you over 1mil an hour.
