Mining Update - 1.1.5 (updated 1 Apr)

Greetings commanders!
The Mining Update is here, along with lots of fixes and new stuff! I hope you all enjoy :)
Let me know of any issues (on discord preferably)

Note: The Social (previous 'Relations') Skill tree will have only 1 lane until Ship Crew is implemented.



Geology (knowledge) is gained through mining and determines what kind of metals and crystals you can obtain from asteroids. The higher your Geology, the higher grade metals you can get.
If you don’t have enough points for a certain metal type, you might get a basic ore instead, which can later be processed at a refinery. Geology will soon be required by some equipment and have other roles in the game.
To see a list of known metals and their requirement, hover mouse on the Geology part in the Knowledge panel (V).



You can install Mobile Refineries on your ship (Corvette+) to process basic ores that you obtain from mining. Refineries also have a Geology level, called Geology Range, and a Refining Rate, both will determine it's success in finding special metals.

• 'Mining' and 'Relations' skill paths were remade and renamed to 'Business' and 'Social'. All skills were reset for no cost.
