Methane Shortage?

Post by nflszhu » Mon, 24. Jan 22, 14:45

Just realized that I've completely mined out methane in:
- Family Zhin (4000 left)
- Eighteen Billion (6000 left)
- Pious Mists (6000 left)
- Asteroid Belt (10000 left)
- Tharka's Ravine (15000 left)
- Trinity Sanctum VII, III (6000 left in total)
- Grand Exchange, Black Hole Sun (2000 left in total)

Anybody seeing the same thing? Maybe higher regeneration is needed lol

I always had the same problem eventually. Take over the matrix sectors near FRF/Teladi border, they have practically infinite methane (and other resources) iirc. I think one of the upper xenon sectors bordering Split space had a lot too, and maybe Savage Spur II ? Not sure on that one, I do recall its great for helium though. I build my miners with probes so I can plop one down wherever they decide to mine.

The Void is ultimate answer to almost any extraction. But it's egregious to look at its totals compared to the whole of Split sectors. "The north" is far too barren.

5.0 has some tweaks in the resource allocation, but I'm not sure where and how significant.
