The video showcases a gameplay session of asteroid mining in Star Citizen 3.24, focusing on the convenience of harvesting resources near a refinery station located in the Lrange Point nebula. The player begins by boarding their MK Prospector and takes off from Microtech, opting for a leisurely flight to the mining location. The video includes timestamps for viewers who wish to skip directly to the mining segment, emphasizing that it is primarily a gameplay experience rather than a tutorial.
As the player arrives at the designated mining area around Mike L1, they begin scanning for rocks to mine. Despite encountering a bug that causes rocks to initially appear as inert, they successfully identify valuable resources like tanite and gold. The player adopts a straightforward approach to mining, preferring to gather whatever is available rather than being overly selective. Throughout the session, they demonstrate various mining techniques, including handling different rock sizes and managing the risks of overcharging during the extraction process.
The player fills their Prospector with a mix of ores, including valuable materials like fasite and lonite, while also interacting with NPCs from the Advocacy who are monitoring their activities. After a successful mining run, they return to the refinery deck to process their haul. The player discusses the importance of scaling refinery jobs based on the cargo ship’s capacity, highlighting their choice of the C1 Spirit for transporting refined materials back to sell.
After refining their ore, the player embarks on a second mining trip before returning to the refinery once more. They emphasize the efficiency of using a larger cargo ship for multiple mining runs, as this allows for more significant profits despite the time spent on transporting and refining. The gameplay reflects a balance between mining, refining, and transporting resources, showcasing the various aspects of the game mechanics involved in asteroid mining.
Finally, the player arrives back at Microtech to sell their refined cargo. They manually unload their cargo to avoid potential bugs with the auto-unloading feature, expressing satisfaction with the process and the progress made in the game. The total profit from the session amounts to approximately 136,000 credits after deducting refining costs, highlighting the enjoyable and relatively lucrative nature of asteroid mining in Star Citizen.
