Starting out. played around. need help ';\\

[Enkious]

Im trying to place structers.
invalid placement.. -50k to 50k
Not sure what this means..
Tryed to deploy a Minning drone aswell, in the middle of an astroid field..
No planet moon or astroyed around deploy..
So im confused..

You should also consider upgrading your minning lasers...
further distances.. Get better ore outa them at a faster rate..?
anyways.. plz help.. ;\\

Thanks!

You cannot place stations and structures in the same sector as another station structure, so you will have to check your nav map and move. A sector is one small square on the nav map when you are fully zoomed in.

If I am wrong, others will help you it. I do not mine or do much trading or even build stations. Blow them up occasionally though!


See you out there sometime.

Hi Enkios, welcome to the game and forum...Hope to see you out there some time!...

The invalid placement -50k to 50k are in sector coordinates X, Y, Z, maximum distance from the center of the Sector. So X, Y and Z coordinates for structure placements have to be between -50k < X, Y, Z >50k!

I'm not sure I understand your problems with the other questions!...

Not sure what this means..

The invalid placement -50k to 50k are in-sector coordinates X, Y, Z, maximum distance from the center of the Sector. So X, Y and Z coordinates for structure placements have to be between -50k < X, Y, Z >50k!

Just to clarify further for you:
In Maars' description, 'k' means thousand. So if you look on your nav map (default F1 key) to the left set of coordinate boxes on the top right of your screen, just above the actual map, the values in these (left) boxes may not exceed -50.000 or 50.000 in any way. If they do, that would mean you are trying to place your station further than 50.000 away from the dead center of the local sector.

Tryed to deploy a Minning drone aswell, in the middle of an astroid field..
No planet moon or astroyed around deploy..

I'm guessing the second phrase is a system message that appears when you are trying to deploy the drone?... In this case, I'm betting that you still too far away from an asteroid for the drone to function. Try moving in closer (probably below 100m) and deploy again.

You should also consider upgrading your minning lasers...

Again, I'm just guessing here that this represents a system message? If so, it probably refers to the mineral specific mining beams you can get in game. The are for example Diamond mining beams, which let you mine just Diamond ore and nothing else. I also believe they do their job a bit quicker than the regular ones, but I have to admit I'm not that much of a miner myself.

I hope this helps. If not, please be a bit more specific in your querying.
Good luck!

Ok, so i got about 75 from an astroid and tryed to deploy a minning drone. All i get back is this..

"No planet terran. Moon. or astroid at deploy location."

Any ideas?
I spent quite a few mill on some of these guys.. and i can't get them to work..
