I’d definitely be interested in knowing more. I just pick standard caves on all my mining rentals now since other types I tried like small caves messed things up down deep. The standard ones are pretty safe, especially for diamond mining deep.
I thought I had the caves saved somewhere, but no luck finding them. I generally pick standard or flat myself, with the exception of my combustion farm where i chose tube caves if I remember right.
Decent emerald count all together though, but the percentages are misleading especially for emerald worlds since the high amount of water will remove many of the other resources that compete for the total “percentage” which skews the percentages to make them appear high.
Compared to other “public” worlds, its number 4 in emerald seam per chunk / total emerald seam count, but half of what Stellamaris has.
But as you said, if its rough to mine, then it doesn’t really matter in the end.
I know the Count is Only 120k Emerald but that doesen t Matter If its compromised thats why i Experiment with caves .
The best per chunk planets are very good but i think IT can be better and easyier…
First i thought i ve a good Planet but the Lava makes him unminable…
Are the total numbers what really matter for ease of mining? I tend to make planets that don’t have great numbers overall, but the resources are squished into small areas.
So on my planet, there is way more silver than titanium, but I prefer to use it for titanium mining than silver because the titanium is all squished together. The gold is dispersed so I wouldn’t go there to mine that, but it actually is dispersed pretty well through the diamond so I end up getting quite a bit of it anyways when I mine diamond. I’m not sure the raw numbers tell a very good story about what is easy to mine or not.
I always mine in areas where there aren’t any caves or very little so caves almost feel like an afterthought when it comes to mining.
My best sapphire planet has a super high count and very large concentration in certain areas.
I spawned 5 chills looking for high stardrop.and sapphire. I chose different cave types but used the same biomes.
My results were that my best planet had standard caves. I even got a wicked amount of topaz. The planet had a crazy amount of star drops at the time it was the number one planet for stardrops, top 3 in sapphire and topaz.
Edit: on top of the above you really only need one good hotspot to make the planet worth it everything above that is just an added bonus
I hate stardrops on ice personally… so I would take a lower overall number that also had huge glacier flat areas (maze biome) and be much happier. Everyone is different though.
Make sure to take Maze at lv 5 if you do. It gives the best sapphire spots IMO since it is level, can just dig down 20-30 and mine around on that level. Also, the surface is the best Bitter Bean collecting, it is glacier instead of ice so you can walk normally and collect the Stardrops.
This - for a Chill for me, by far the best result is a few big Maze areas.
For me its Not to get Most of anything its Like you showed on Pictures Like the hard coal to get IT super compromised If you have reached That you ll be super effectiv .
