My last trip to CND reminded me of the way I used to play the game. When I first started playing I had the grand design that I would be self sufficient. Everything that I mined would be used for crafting until I got to a point where everything I crafted I could also use (either to mine with or to hunt). Of course this was a very naive way of thinking and meant I just ran out of peds even quicker!
Now that I am back on the ground I thought i’d try the same way of playing again as a little experiment. Now I know this has been done before by shackleton to name but one. (the mining part anyway) but I thought I would see how well I could get on. Since I have begun getting the mining itch once again. What I am going to do is buy 100 bombs. Go out and use them all up. Throw the ores found into storage. Then I am going to get 100 probes and do the same. I am going to be disciplined and not mine both at the same time.
Every resource I mine I will use to craft level 1 -4 components with (ones I don’t already have at qr 100). Any resources that aren’t needed in any 1-4 component bps I will sell. I will chronicle my mining and crafting trips and see how long the initial investment of 170ped lasts me. I’ve included 20ped for the cost of tt finders and extractors as a rough estimate.
