I Mine, Craft, and Hunt. I've done a lot of mining and I've found a lot of materials around the planet. My problem is that when I want to craft some items the materials are not available on the planet via mining. Example. Cobalt. I've never found Cobalt mining yet some Ark BPs require it. I know there are other BPs that need things that we cant get here. With the interplanetary auction being shut down this is very problematic at best. I'm wondering what other crafters think of this?
This is true, but why is it like that? Seems like an unfair advantage to Calyspo. Nothing has to be imported to craft their items. Someone like me who wants to be Pro Arkadia being forced to used items from another planet isn't fair to me or Arkadia.
This is possibly the result of what we were talking about another day,"interplanetary trade'..it would be that some materials need bought from the auction from other worlds or the BP cant be done. It joins the universe together by making each planet have things the others don't have.
Some materials are not found on Calypso, you have to import them from the asteroid. Just like some materials only come from mob found on CP. I see the point of this not making much sense. Who knows with MA. They are the same brilliant minds to give us non-Arkadia bps in the loot. Why bother with separate planets, when each "planet" is really just another continent connected to the original game?
Just as a note, from tomorrow the auction trades with different planets wont work so we would have to rely on traders going from planet to planet. Heard Fire root is also used in some amp or what it was, anyone found that yet? I haven't during my mining but not been all over the place yet
It is more likely incorrect, either Cobalt is meant to be minable, and MA didnt put it in. Or cobalt wasnt meant to be in the bp It is very unlikely to have mineral that cannot be found on Arkadia on purpose. This would be very odd from the arkadia team So most likely a bug Rgds Ace
Someone mentioned ores/enmatters being included in at least a few mobs ( I would recommend Oratan since they are very drone/argo like...) I think this would be a great idea...but on the other hand interplanetary trade needs to be encouraged somehow...but we should have some materials that calypso bp's need to "balance" this...
Be calm... Have you yet looked at the ingredients for Welding Wire? I got a (L) BP some minutes ago: 1x Lysterium, 1x Alternative, 10x Vibrant Sweat, 1x Ospra... They'll tell us, that both Alternative and Ospra has to be imported to Calypso...
Hopefully we'll see more components that require planet-specific ingredients. Encourage natural trade.
I'm pretty sure BP's requiring ingredients from other planets is intentional to promote intergalactic trade.
They have to force people into space somehow. No one will willingly bring stackables on a spaceship ride if they were not forced to in an all pvp zone where your survival is based on some rich dude that will only laugh as his rich friend beats him in pvp but gets to loot YOU.
Is it possible to be like this?: The BP's with planet-specific resources that need to be imported are meant to be use for space, in space. Just as the improvement on momaships, where you need also planet specific ores. Just a thought.... except the vehicle repair tool, that now requires WW to work.... so not only in space... or am I badly mistaken?
Was found on Ark. Last week I had 5k ingots in my inventory. After the space VU, I had 400 amped drops today...I got 1 find of Ospra in my favorite spots. It's more scarce than typo, narc and blaus today. We'll see tomorrow.
Unless Calypso brings out a load of new bps using ark ores, or they stop some ores like igni and solis being found on calypso then this system is going to be totaly one sided and I find it hard to see how arkadia will cope with it. I like arkadia and want to spend a lot of time here, but if MA don't sort out some major problems like this then i'll probably go to calypso and forget other planets excist.
It's going to be the same for all planets, and needing resources from other planets is intentional as far as I can figure out. With the Welding Wire, it requires 4 ingredients, but two of them are on other planets - well, for Arkadia, I think only the Alternative ingot is the ingredient that is missing, and that's on ROCKtropia. This type of system forces intergalactic trade for sure, and people on Arkadia like Few Scars are already putting efforts into place to help everyone get what they need. I think if we work together on this, we should be able to accomplish boosting our economy in the way we need to. I think going back to Calypso you're going to run into the same problem. Calypso is not going to have all of the resources you need either - that's the nature of the system now. Perhaps more than the other planets given that Calypso has been around a lot longer, but you're a much needed crafter, like others, and it would be nice if you stuck it out with us and perhaps be more of a leader in this respect. It would be welcomed for sure.
people keep going on about welding wire, but it's 1 bp that uses 1 common ingot. I'm sure things will even up a little in time but it may be that the time required for that to happen is so long that it criples any chance of arkadia surviving. A totaly wild guess may say that arkadia needs 500tt imports for every 1tt export, the planet won't survive long if this trade deficit continues.
