    I guess we should summarize the changes arkadians want to their soil, before the big terraformation process occurs in a month or so. This way one or more missed ideas could emerge and we could avoid another terraformation step later. I'll start an obvious list. Feel free to complete it.

    1) Ore distribution field-wise: There are reports of at least 16 differents ores/enmatters per fields, whichs is an absolute in the universe. Maybe a max 5 / ores and 5 enmatters per field would allow miners to bomb more at ease.

    2) Ore distribution depth-wise: Each and every ore seems to be found from 1m to 1000m. Is the soil organized as a big monolayer? Usually experienced miners are happy because they can find rare ores at the right place at the right depth. Solving this issue can partially solve the issue n°1 (to a max 5 ores/5 enmatters per field per depth range).

    3) Ores usefulness: Some arkadian ores are just not used by crafters, or I'm not aware of it. I'm sure it will change but It can only be usefull to reminds it. These are ("... checking storage..."): Pel crystals and lidacon stones.
    On a side note some universal ores seems to have almost no use on arkadia, like growth molecules and force nexus. Force nexus was long searched for by arkadian, but they seem to have maybe a bit too much now . Growth molecules has just no use for now.

    4) Unversal Ore distribution: Some ore that are present in every place in the universe are just not on calypso. These ores are desperatly needed by crafters on arkadia: they should be found on its soil. These are (please correct me when I'm wrong): Alicenies, Belkar, Cobalt, Cumbriz, Durulium, Ganganite, Gazzurdite, Iron, Lanorium, Lytairian, Melchi, Morpheus, Niksarium, Putty and Pyrite.
    Some rare "universal" ore may be needed too. These ores are used in arkadian bps.

    5) Refined ores weight: Why the refining of arkadian ores doesn't reduce their weight? Miners can be stronger now, but it can be a pain to move with a good find on.

    Nice thought, mate. By the way, it's "Blausarium", instead of "Blausarian" :p

    And fire roots are on Arkadia, I'm pretty sure.

    Also, Dave WANTS some stuff to be missing on Arkadia, it's all about interplanetary trade, or other words...buying things on another world and selling it here. They are officially making 'trader' a profession this way, and giving pirates someone to shoot..lol. But no, we will never have every mineral on Arkadia we need because they don't want it that way.

    Well, imho it's blausariAm. (Edited, "one point each")

    krm398, it's not about having every ore on arkadia. Interplanetary trade can be great. There's just too many basic ores lacking on arkadia.

    You're pretty sure as in you found some ?

    Actualy I kind of dissagree to the part of we will nether have every mineral on Arkadia we need for crafting Arkadia BPS. The dev team is currently redoing all the Arkadia BPS to use only resourses that can be found on Arkadia as MA kind of dropped a bombshell on them with the split of minerals and Lootable space after they already created the BPS.

    MA will be the ones responsible for creating BPS that require ingrediants from diffrent planets and no PP will willingly create BPS that require PED to be given to another planets economy inorder to manufacture as this will serve to harm the PP own economy while boosting the other planet economy

    yep, check the other mining lists and maps, you'll see in some areas, fire root has been found, and yes, I mined some too.

    Best thing I like about the Mining Changes is that now you only need 1 finder, extractor and refiner to do all mining. I have been away with work since Easter and have missed a load of what has updated. but liking the combined tools though

    As for how Ores and Emats are put about. well I wias never the most successful miner anyway so any find is a good find for me
