Oolite Bulletins

Thank you for your support, everyone! Norby, special thanks to you - recipe worked like charm, I will update download link in a moment. And I would be very grateful if you'll help me with all this local bureaucracy - next few days probably won't leave me any free time for it. By the way, it can be t...

After discussion in this thread about Start Choices I want to present you first raw draft of new expansion pack - Mining Contracts. My goal was to make "Miner" starting choice little less hardcore while providing new kind of activity. This expansion adds new interface to Rock Hermit statio...

So, they pay less than usual for a big amount and you even have to pay them back if you are not fast enough? That doesn't make sense... "Well, I could agree to your terms... or I could just sell it at my usual gig... for more. Without pressure. Or fines." :wink: Well, I really feel that u...

So in essence it would be an extension to the market allowing you to sell more minerals than is possible to the commodities market for lower price. I like it :D . These could be just in-system contracts with deadlines of hours. Not too tight deadlines though, mining is a form of relaxation and not ...

Thanks again, should be fixed in SellAll v1.28. Works like charm now, thank you! Though, I feel like cheating a bit - even with the prices it pays. Maybe I should code some OXP myself, something better representing spirit of mining operations at the frontier. What would you people say about Rock He...

Thanks for the report, I fixed it now. Alternative customers buy your excess cargo only, so you must hold more than the free space in the current market. Thank you - looks like it appears every time now. But problem with doing nothing still persists. Are you sure SellAll takes into account that mar...

Thank you, Norby, Dha - I got the idea. I have tried selling mined minerals to stations other then Rock Hermit, but with Transporter's speed it too much even for my patience. I have SellAll installed, but it behaves strangely for me - I haven't yet tried it on main system station, but on Rock Hermit...

Ok, I have a stupid question. How exactly do you people start your career as miner? As far as I see, it is suggested to follow Anaconda to Zaonce and find Rock Hermit in the asteroid belt there. The problem is that it looks not very possible to make a living with selling minerals or alloys on Rock H...

Thanks I have been giving Oolite a couple of tries already through previous years of its development, but this 1.82 feels really polished. I have plugged in about 150 OXPs, but still have seen only minor issues like that. Probably I'll stay here for a while this time.

Houston, we have a problem. This OXP conflicts with another OXP - Start Choices , particularly with Miner start choice. In this start choice you begin on Transporter fitted with mining laser and fuel scoops. Unfortunately, your OXP classifies Transporter as too small to be fitted with fuel scoops an...
