VanGogh Gaming's TinyMiner EVE Online Mining Bot

any word on the progress of the multi-miner?

hey roidfarmer.... are you mining a single ore type? if so, I agree, however mining EVERYTHING with T1s , or having each miner focus on a different roid type with T2s.... (but going with T2s, I burn crystals in less than a day... so... I dont know if that pays) gets you ALL the ore types in a system...

I'm taking somebody elses math.... but in general it seems about right.... 1 hulk boosted by an orca gives you +35% (thats 135%) of an unboosted hulk.... 2 unboosted hulks gives you 200% so if you are boosting a SINGLE hulk, you are mining 65% LESS than just mining with TWO unboosted hulks (assuming...

lol unfortunately my freighter pilot is also my Orca pilot.... so I'd have my boosting offline for 6+hours... PLUS, my booster is running on the same machine as I have TMplus running 2 pilots... SOOOO I'd have to take down 2 mining pilots as well.... or buy ANOTHER TM (or TM+) and another machine to...

large ship assembly array works just fine I can mine almost an entire week in a system... the problem I ran into is refining.... you cant anchor a refining array in HighSec (unless I absolutely missed that one) and even with a freighter it turns into a LOT of runs for a full LSA... and GAWD I though...

Hey VG

any thoughts on these?

oh... and hows "multi-ice miner" coming?

or have you found that burning orb in the sky, and are now addicted to a REAL life... lol

JUST KIDDING!!!

look here...

theres some talk about setups

dabbling in "inventing" I found the need for copies... which the wait time in NPC-POSes is RE-FLIPPING-DICULOUS which led me to wanting my own POSes which led me to creating my own CORP.... which led me to getting Wardecced... a couple times.,... and learning some PAINFUL lessons on what y...

takes right at about 2 months to start hulk mining

4 to get all the drone & shield proficiencies you'll want...

and another
5) option with POS to trigger medium/low slots on every outbound warp (every warp away from the POS)

better idea... SKILL UP!! like I said elsewhere... if you are abandoning drones... SHIELD UP.... and keep them buggers in the bay until you SKILL UP specifically Drone Navigation... thats 5% mwd speed/level AND.... damage... the more damage you do... the quicker those pesky rats are sent to their ma...

http://www.power-gamers.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=481 theres actually quite a bit of verbage here about how to avoid getting noticed... and TM actually moves you around a LOT so you DONT get readily noticed.... if you set up your bookmarks smartly... 1) know your corpies - it is widely beliv...

bottom line, time with lasers on roids is the best way to maximize your yield.... however.... there is that "pesky" time spent flying back and forth to your drop... be that a POS, or a station... that time is ZERO yield... hence the bigger the cargo-load, the less trips to the drop.... loo...

heres some stuff I've been knocking around... in no particular order 1) maximize mining.... when on the "last cycle" do not shut off the lasers... let em run until you warp out... Lag's Ice Mining Optimization works that way.... and ore mining would too... you might as well let them lasers...

it HAS been stated that trit supply is on the backs of bots.... without bots, trit price would double or triple... and that would push ALL prices for everything thru the roof... probably 4-5x then it would drop back down to the 2-3x range.... unless CCP replaces bots by artifically pumping ore/miner...

ah lag.... and VG accuses ME of not reading well... :wink: the old pc died, and its smoldering carcass was picked clean for the phoenix that is the new one.... it was SO old, it barely ran 2 clients... it had to shut everything else off... no audio... no nicey nice video extras... it had an AGP 4x v...

got me a PC upgrade... 6 months of running 2 EVE clients & TM+ at 90%+ CPU just melted the CPU cache on the old one :twisted: (I'm NOT COMPLAINING) put a new MB, quad core processor in the old box... what was red-lining the old one is now running at a nice cool 17% on my nice shiny new 4 core pr...

an update

flying with BX-2 Yeti implants.... and maxed out warfare links on my booster... I've trimmed 40 seconds off my run time...

T2 ice harvesters... 1 t2 IHU.... 1 T2 expanded cargohold.... 2 T1 cargohold optimizers

1 trip every 13 minutes... 46.2 cubes per hour... thats COOKIN

a logoff/logon feature would be useful if there is a need to restart a mining process, i.e. you get stuck in an asteroid belt, and TM cant "free" you up the only problem I see is there is a bit of "maintenance" you have to do after logging on, 1) opening the bookmarks 2) relocati...

had this on my "gee wouldnt it be nice if...." wish list for a year or so.... right now I'm using T1 Strips, mining everything I see... and its working fine but every once in a while, I think to myself... T2 Strips mine WAY more per cycle.... but, as everyone knows, T2 strips need crystals...

and so the plan crystallizes.... POS anchoring... heard this from somebody else, just want to verify I dont have the standing to anchor in empire space, and am probably not going to get it.... so, presuming all this works, I'm going to buy a premade... with the standing I need.... to anchor what I w...

so, I was looking at setting up a POS in empire space. primarily to do research and invention... but while its there, I figured it would be a GREAT thing to be a remote base for mining.... with boosting, TM+ will mine somewhere in the neighborhood of 80 hulk loads per day per miner in local space......

be warned carebear mining is... well dangerous in hisec until this whole "hulk-a-geddon" thing gets over.... 1/14/2010 I think the whole "campaign" is much more dangerous this time... they claim to have killed 500+ exhumers this time and they have 7B isk in their "prize fund...

well.... I've done some math with an orca... boosting, dec'd out to the max... with mining forman mindlink, and almost maxed out warfare links (havent got Yeti augs for the mack pilots... but thats coming) anyway.... here's what I found with 2 T1 cargo hold opts.... and 2 T2 Ice Harvesters the "...
