Comet with multiple minerals but i only really need one
« on: December 27, 2023, 08:10:12 AM »
I have mines on Halle Bopp (thanks to the help of the guys here) - im only really in it for the Neutronium - is it possible to get the mines to just mine that, or indeed the mass driver to just send me neutronium

TIA

There is no way to set mines to prioritize only one mineral. As for the mass drivers, I suppose if you set reserve level for other minerals it will not launch them. But unless you are over mass driver capacity (5000 tons per year), there is no reason to do it.

It should be noted that the mines provide their full extraction capacity to _each_ type of mineral. It's not spread across the different mineral types. So from a mining perspective, it doesn't make sense to want to turn off mining of other types, as you'd still only get the same amount of Neutronium.
