Hello!
In the current state of mining is it worth it to mine on t3 planets for non-gem resources?
Also, I have found multiple underground cave systems, at the right depth, and am having the hardest time finding gems.
It seems like hunting is a more effective way to get gems at this point, is that intended?
Mining on T3 is about 50% faster than mining on T2 once you have luck maxed. Before then it varies based on your skillpoints.
Gems are generally rare - but at the right spots (it is not evenly distributed even at the right depth) you can get very decent additional rewards for your time.

Whut, really? This is new for me. Could you make sample of this? (like a video or gif)
Soft coal on T3 with max luck drops 3 coal.
Soft coal on T2 with max luck drops 2 coal.
The one extra hit to take it down with a titanium tool makes it quite obvious.
Oh, I see. Thanks!
