Which version of terran conflict are you using? This above is for versions 2.1 and later...

Pff use "prospector" from Lucike

Set few mistral SF + one TL as home base .. tl is full jump to any space dock dock it buy an TS fill sell repe4at, and your mistrals non stop colecting in that time so u dont loosing any cash .. U dont need blow up anything Your prospectors will find NV asteropids destroy it colect it forever. they only fly to tl to unload all cargo . I got so far 2 cuz i dont like abuse to much anyway my Super Complex in ore belt ( using Complex Cleaner Mod)
and bunch of UT make me 40-50 KK/M so i dont rly need that nvidium . i just like Lucike AI pilots CAG own same Prospectors ...

Greetings, I'm the new guy here and, of course, I'll start by some questions

I don't know if I am r******* or something like that, but my stupid freighters (10 Boron Dolphin Hauler at the moment) always go to get ore instead of nividium... I have a sat where initially was the initial asteroid and I command them to start collecting rocks there, but it seems nividium doesn't reappear at the initial place or something like that, 'cause I don't see the initial big asteroid and those nividium rocks are getting further of my sat. Am I doing something wrong?

Mmm, by the way, v. 2.5

There are 4 Nividium 'roids. If you break up all of them, set the sat at the described coordinates, get OOS and start the freighters (first go to, if they are there, start to gather ore, they should mainly mine Nividium. Some ore will always be among it though.

In TC you have to initially break up the asteroids yourself, if you accidentally break up an asteroid that isn't nividium then you could get into the situation you describe. Breaking up a small asteroid can be as easy as flying into it, thus unexpectantly ruinning your nividium mining adventures as collecting rocks doesn't differentiate between silicon/ore/nividium.

In this situation I would advise moving to another sector, finding a nividium rock and starting over,

Everrede · Post by **Everrede** » Fri, 12. Mar 10, 01:58

Seems like I fu**ing screwed up... I came back to the sector too many times, I'm afraid, haha.

Well, are there any other sectors as good as this one?

These are from reunion but should still be uesefull for TC as the first one is where I found my Nividium jackpot...

I haven't checked them all out as you only need one, but if you mess up kindoms end then the others might provide a useful alternative.

Everrede · Post by **Everrede** » Fri, 12. Mar 10, 02:05

Thank you very much. I'll tell you if I'm lucky then

Edit: it seems your list is good, Queen's Space's coords are right as well.

AgamemnonArgon · Post by **AgamemnonArgon** » Fri, 12. Mar 10, 20:31

It is fair to say the list is very useful, but not complete, I get my (small) Nividium Income from another Sector that is paying for some warships.
Finding the rock itself is a heck of a job in any sector though.

1.How does the Nividium respawn works when:

A. I start collecting it OOS.

and

B. When I manually collect them.

2. If a Nividium Asteroid (visible in the sector map) is destroyed, does it ever respawn, if yes, what are the conditions for it to happen?

3. Once I set up 20 mercuries mining on Kingdom's End, if I move on the system while they are doing it, what happens?

4. If I tell all my miners to stop collecting ores and do something else, in another system, wait a few days, then I enter the Kingdom's End system, where my miners were, does it breaks the OOS Nividium mining?

5. If not, can I leave the system, send all the miners back in, and resume the "collect ore" activity?

Ive read over 30 topics on mining in the last 5-6 hours. Couldnt find a DEFINITIVE ANSWER to these questions, too many "I think"s, instead of "I know for sure".

If it respawns, it's game time. And the other respawns im aware only happen OOS.

3. Once I set up 20 mercuries mining on Kingdom's End, if I move on the system while they are doing it, what happens?

you move, they keep mining. so long as it was a command console command...

4. If I tell all my miners to stop collecting ores and do something else, in another system, wait a few days, then I enter the Kingdom's End system, where my miners were, does it breaks the OOS Nividium mining?

yes it breaks the mining; they are doing something else. maybe this wasn't worded right..? i mean if you tell them to STOP taking the Nividium, if it respawns, it should have already started the respawn clock.
else if you mean leave them mining and go IS, it becomes IS mining, no longer out of sector.

5. If not, can I leave the system, send all the miners back in, and resume the "collect ore" activity?
They mine...follow this flow chart:
1. Are they set to mine?
If yes, are you in the sector they are mining in?
If yes, it's in sector mining
If no, it's OOS mining.
If no..meh. no profitsss =)

pretty much going thru the gate changes things. mostly, going from OOS to IS makes them 'teleport' thanks to the lack of collisions OOS.

sorry if this is thread necroing =)

Hi,

you will encounter a sudden traffic problem, because IS collision detection will try to keep them away from each other while their command tells them to all fly to the same place.

Perhaps some will hit a nearby asteroid. But when you eventually leave the sector the rest of them will continue mining.

Staying out of the sector can be best, there are plenty more to use.
Leave it to the ore collecting vessels.

Markhor · Post by **Markhor** » Fri, 26. Mar 10, 19:49

So yeah i'll ask it: do the nividium rocks respawn under any conditions? which ones?

nividium asteroids respawn like every other asteroid.

nividium rocks respawn when youre out of sector(which is why you can mine it indefinately).

wadedidit · Post by **wadedidit** » Sat, 27. Mar 10, 02:23

I can't find any asteroids in Kingdoms End with Nividium...

wadedidit · Post by **wadedidit** » Sat, 27. Mar 10, 02:54

Ah rock cluster, working now!

So I sent my Mammoth to the site and also have started a similar operation in Unknown Sector north of Argon 148

Airman744 · Post by **Airman744** » Sat, 27. Mar 10, 09:05

I actually went to Kingdom's End, but those asteroids are ore, not nvidium.
I am using version 2.5 = any idea?
Thank you

Go to the coord in kingdoms end as in the post just above, then drop an satellite, there are a couple of rocks there, target and destroy them, then send the frieghters in to pick up rocks once they reach the satellite and bam they will collect Nividium!
