Fun fact, loot bugs can eat minerals off the ground, and when they do, they actually store the minerals inside them, and when they are popped they drop 1.5 times more than they ate. So imagine all the gold from a golden bulks explosion was eaten by a loot bug
@potatoman7594 I mean, Mission Control says, "I told them letting you keep the gold for yourselves was a mistake", implying that there is no cut here. Even then, the only way to spend credits is in the Space Rig, owned by the company, so-
It's a good thing we have Molly to carry our Rocks and Stones. (Because that dwarf in particular would need a whole keg of Backbreaker Stout to recover.)
Recently in an online mission with 3 randos. Just prior I bought us all a round of POG and only 3 of the 4 drank it, the host didnt bother and just wanted to get on with the mission. Of course, we had a crassus spawn, but it spawned miles away from the main party next to the host. He killed it, and despite our pleading, mined half of the gold before we got to him. I was fuming.
this happend to me in a on site refining mission i cried my eyes out depositing all the gold. I think thats how i got my "i like it down here" achievement
Way I got mine was on an elimination mission where I was expecting to spend a while completing it then just wait out the rest of the time. Got a crassus detonator as well so I spent a while mining that. Still had to spend like 20 minutes AFK to get the achievement.
Aquarqs, ice biome thing, first time doing either. Many were in the freaking ceiling. It was hidden behind some freaking ice chunks for about 3 of them... Was unaware Bosco could tunnel to them. I freaking hate ice. I absolutely did NOT like it down there. The achievement lied to me.
The messed up part is had you dug into the wall and blown up the detonator, you probably would've come out with 1-2k more. But I'm low-key "Homer drooling" at that 5100 gold. Good lord that's juicy.
@@dastyp4771 tbh not really the mission took one hour and reward was only 27k, it would be more profitable to do an elite deep dive to get almost the same money (20k on average) which also takes 40 minutes on average (🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓)
@@dastyp4771 nah, total CPS (credit per second) IS lower when you mine gold but 1: it lower around on 7-8 percent; and 2: let's be real, who would sold all craft materials anyway
"Okay... Quick Morkite mining. In and out, 5 to 7 minutes tops." *PoG Beer* "We mine some gold. In and out, 15 minutes adve-" *Gold Rush* "We pick the place CLEAN! 20 minutes adv- *Compressed gold/Bittergem.* "We stay awhile. 30 minutes ad-" *Crassus Dett in a narrow cave that turns into a giant gold orb.* "Dammit. Yay, but dammit! 40 minutes-" *Lithophage Meteor, Omen Destroyer, Second Lithophage Meteor, Prospector, Jettyboot Crate, Cargo Crate, Lost Equipment.* "Crap! This is taking forever... 1.5 h-" *Second Crassus Dett in another smol space. Also a second lump of Gold/Bittergems.* "Karl would drink to this. 2-" *Golden Bugs also applies.* "Well fellas. We live here now."
I had a similar situation, on a rig mission at haz 4 - got just under 2500 good out, limited by not having the gold next to a deposit location (no Molly) and running out of nitra (haz 4 + continual, if slow paced waves burning our supply). We were unable to recover all the gold, and frankly collected few of the gol veins, but we got plenty given circumstances. You sir had better luck.
ah yes when a 20Minute mission turn out to be a 1h mission were 45Minute of it is just mining gold. god i would probably get bored just mining the Creeper gold Hole. Respect to you for having taken the time to mine it all by yourself.
Each mineral can be sold for 50 credits, you just need 500 of any mineral (can get more than 500 in a high hazard mineral mania mission) and sell them when you need the credits
@@user-ij4gx7hz4r yeah I did a haz 3 elimination yesterday in azure Weald, pulled in like 600 croppa without mineral mania even being a mutator. Minerals sell for boatloads and take much less time to harvest than gold. If you see a mineral mania than treat it like a double xp, but for creds. Also deal of the day can net you a tidy profit too. More reliable than gold in my opinion, and much quicker too.
@@maxsteffey6521 no it wasn’t 600 I have dementia or something lol it was something like 425 croppa but I also got 110 umamite so maybe I meant close to 600 total, not too sure. Have photo proof if you don’t believe me though, just not sure how to link it. Regardless of my poor memory, 425 croppa is insane and I don’t blame you for doubting my numbers, especially not on a mineral mania
There really should be a drink at the bar that makes it so when u mine veins it only takes 1 pick axe swing. Would make these moments feel SO satisfying.
Plot twist, he didn't even get to that point. All that gold mining made him blackout, so he had to down a Blackout Stout to wake up... Promptly before he farted really hard and blacked out again. A break well spent. Btw, Backbreakers for the bois.
I frequently drop in Fungus Bogs and one mission found 2 Crassius detonator in the same pit, unfortunately I got clapped and couldn't collect what I can only assume the biggest payday in my entire DRG career
fun fact: you can mine the gold ball by detatching it from the walls AND get the pots o' gold bonus by picking out the gold anchoring it to the ground. i never got the circumstances to test this so try at your own risk!
You know, I gotta remember to take the deposit speed perk when the stars line up like this. (I'm aware the Crasus is down to RNG, I'm talking about pots and gold rush in general)
