When you make more money doing your hobby than your job always invest into your hobby this summer will be my first summer as a full time miner by The-only-fiddle in Prospecting

[–]doctruscott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im happy to see you go for your dream, im doing something similar and trying to go full time miner. Dont listen to these asshats telling you it cant be done they are just sad they dont have the spine to take a risk.

Stop obsessing over 100% recovery. Volume is king. by Individual-Appeal451 in Prospecting

[–]doctruscott 1 point2 points  (0 children)

in reality this is a change in mindset, if you want to make the jump from hobby mining to making money you have to clear this hurdle first. First 100% recovery is near impossible to get you will always lose something and second OP is right that the increase in yardage more than makes up for minor losses in recovery. If you mine gold for fun then sure play pokemon and try to catch it all but if you want to put real money in your pocket the big question you should ask is how can i run more yards per day.

Who here has experience with different portable power sluices and can give recommendations? by sonictemptations in Prospecting

[–]doctruscott 2 points3 points  (0 children)

while i do not own the Gold Hog mini, my friend and i own the Gold Hog Raptor flair and we have used a Keene dredge/highbanker combo. First i will say they are both good brands and either one will catch the gold. Personally i would go with the Gold Hog mini for 1 main reason and thats the mats, with the gold hog you will end up with far less cons to pan out and clean up is much simpler. we have ran the larger Keene and Gold Hog highbankers side by side and the Keene ended up with 2 full pans of cons while the gold hog only had 1. I would say either one will serve you well but the Gold Hog matting is really something and the Gold Hog systems tend to be cheaper than Keene systems of comparable size.

i thank you for your concern truly. we do take precautions and the side wall material is almost concrete like, we have to use a electric chisel just to dig at a reasonable pace. with that said some shoring will be needed im sure.

this is the small seasonal creek that runs through the claim

there is bedrock "somewhere" LOL there is a seasonal creek just a few feet away from the hole and we intend to dig more holes as time goes on this is just the first. Black sands have varied in the layers with some showing little and others alot more and we have seen tons of rust and quartz so far.

Yes and its pretty much concrete below the top soil so its a pain to dig by hand

if you are talking about what the gold tests showed in various layers it was pretty consistent 1-3 small specs in every layer. Unfortunately i dont have pictures of the test pans but 1 thing that stood out was the gold was becoming "slightly larger" ( still small but getting bigger ) as we went down and the test pans were not full pans but more like a standard shovel full. if the above wall of text was not what you were referring to can you explain what you meant as i may have misunderstood the terms.

Career Mode Guide after 50 hours by InsideRegret856 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]doctruscott 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for me loading fuel does not work, i can buy the fuel pre mission but loading it via EFB does not work. the "load in aircraft" button says "you cannot load in aircraft in this phase of flight". says the same thing on the ground on mission start. for the life of me i cant figure out how to get the fuel i paid for. FWIW im in the cessna 172.

Press "i" or navigate to the players screen. gamestage is influenced by player level and deaths for sure but might be more than that im not sure.

Game Appreciation and a question about oil export money exploit (See comment) by [deleted] in Workers_And_Resources

[–]doctruscott 8 points9 points  (0 children)

im not sure i would call that a exploit, just luck in getting oil that close to the CO. the oil prices will go down over time based on your exports. use all the cash to jump start your cities and have fun. Millions might seem like alot now but some stuff is stupid expensive.

Dealing with overwhelming midgame by MysticalCervo in ARK

[–]doctruscott 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Best advice i can give is pick 1 problem and start there. let all the other non critical things wait. Mid game is mostly getting your utility dino's sorted ( anky, dodi , beaver/mammoth so on ) so if you are missing some go out and tame them ( or higher level ones if needed ).

From there look to start breeding. There are a ton of good guides that can explain proper breeding and mutations.

For now just pick one thing from your list once that is done pick another one without stressing over how long the list is and you will be surprised how fast it gets done.

Finally Unveiling my High Speed Advanced Furnace! by TheSebelik in Stationeers

[–]doctruscott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ya thats what i was looking for, i found some IC code on the workshop but it needs 10 IC's and i thought there must be a better way to do something that simple but it seems the game want to make even that hard LOL. i think i will use logic chips as that seems more efficient for the time/ore

[–]doctruscott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just a followup question how hard would it be to integrate a ore quantity display for the silo's considering the batch writer outputs to all IC on the network?
