I was going to say - I can't stand mining. The only time I do it is for upgrades (which only require a small amount) and shooting at plutonium crystals from time to time to fuel up.
Just wait until you find a special resource planet and hang out by a trading post, empty your inventory and do a few runs around the post filling up your inventory, sell and repeat. I was making 400k per 5 minute sweep of a venom sac planet last night. It doesn't matter that they don't stack, each resource is worth more than a stack of gold or emeril (edit - well not really, but it's worth a lot), and is far quicker to get.
Once you've done that a few times you can buy pretty much any resource you need as you need it. Personally I think running around dodging sentinels for 5 minutes is a way more fun way to rake in the cash than shooting at rocks. And if you kill the sentinels they drop good stuff too.
Also I found a glitch where if you grenade the ground from under a dog sentinel it deactivates but the warning doesn't go away, which means you can run around collecting stuff with impunity for a while. It's weird because although the sentinel falls in the hole it's eyes stay on the surface looking around :/
Oh, nm, it was probably because I had opened those doors before. They just said "locked doors" now. Gotta use passes elsewhere
So I warp into a system and I see 3 cargos being attacked by 15 ships.
I ended up trying to defend the cargos. So far so good, I could take all the pirates, but suddenly motherfucking cargos starts attacking me too. So I end up with both pirates and cargos shooting at my ass.
I still managed to barely clear the quest but that was so bullshit. I feel like not bothering with rescue signals anymore.

Holy shit. Bye-bye, Emeril caves.

That shotgun-esque upgrade for the multitool gun is weird to use / does not feel good.
But it one-shots sentinels and also needs only two shots for the dog (and you don't actually have to be close at all) so I like it!

ah so it's when using the grenades, I could not pinpoint the cause for that bug while farming pearls.
How much do you have?

I dont bother with that anymore since I did one time and both attacked me
Lol, well I do have a maxed out inventory now. But here's me making 250k in 3 minutes in vortex cubes. Screw mining.

Really is shit returns vs. time invested when it comes to mining things like gold/emeril. Hold off until you get to a planet with 25K+ objects just laying around everywhere.
lol I was like so close to joining the pirates after that
Btw, landed on Australia planet
Wish I had a flamethrower
Peaceful place tho, when I'm not surrounded by insect-animals

You have to be really careful not to hit the freighters with your gunfire.
I jumped into a system yesterday with 3 freighters under attack by 36 pirates. I managed to take all the pirates out. Was by far the largest battle I have seen so far.

Highgest i seen is 24, but come across my first non freighter firefight today as well, just pure ship on ship, interestingly, when i spoke to a Vek guy he said he was waiting for operation orders and was worried sick about going into battle.
As anyone else experienced a black hole bug, i;ve requested two jumps recently but both have failed to materialised on the galaxy map, i just seem to have routes aimed at atlas interfaces i have neglected.
Yeah - they're really touchy about friendly fire. My strategy is to lure attack ships away from the freighters. That way even if I do hit the freighters they can't hit me - their range sucks.

The ship upgrade is handy. Nearly got enough to upgrade my starting ship.
I didn't know you could just repair the basics of a crashes vessel. Also, how are people finding so many on a planet? Even without using the Gek glitch! I've seen one so far! :/

Still no info about how activating portals, right? I just found my first portal yesterday 
You should have some kind of space garage, and be able to save them there

AquaSpheres, yeah, they don't trigger any sentinel attention either. If I find a planet with them in a system that is paying a big premium for them I'd definitely spend some time down there.
Aquasphere? They're easier to get than other high value resources in a sense because sentinels don't bother you - they seem way harder to find though, much more spread out. I only collected them once because I needed 5 of them for a boltcaster upgrade.

Does the patch fix the transmission tower glitch on Gek systems?

System after system of nearly dead planet's with little to no plant life and zero wildlife I've stumbled upon a system of lively planet's and holy crap what a difference it makes.
Average a few hours per system but this new one I've spent a couple hours on the first planet alone. Exploring is so much nicer.
Can't wait to dive back in tonight.

Look up latest experimental branch notes, it's same patch.

Need some help/advice:
Last night after clearing my inventory at a space station, I entered a new planet and came across a crashed ship. I decided to switch and transferred over my inventory. In the process of the switch, I did not realize I had no Heridium, and now I am trapped on the planet(moon) that I am on. The planet is extremely dry and I have searched for hours looking for some heridium. Additionally, I walked to an outpost with a galactic trading network and Heridium was "sold out" on the terminal.
Any ideas on how I can find some to repair the ship and get off this barren wasteland?

Me too. I wanted to help they attacked me. I learned there that their were carrying valuable stuff on their cargos.
I had one too, and is so dissapointing. I expected at least something out of that building, but nothing. And 100 hours later, still doesnt do anything... I thought that maybe you needed some tech, but no... pure decoration...
Sean said there was more for PS4. HE CONTINUES TO LIE. I would really just like the patch notes.
Basically had the same thing happen then switched game. Man, when all I really want to do is a quick bit of grinding -- and THAT progress gets lost. I just don't want to have to repeat that, kills all motivation to play it.
Fuck it, this Oxenfree thing looks dope.
Nope. Just spent the last two hours upgrading my ship, went from 24 slots to 37. Gonna continue in a bit.

Transfer back to your old ship.
Edit: Also you can probably get heridium by dismantling ship upgrades.

I'm sure there have to be additional notes amended to that though. I wonder if they will actually mention AA being fixed, and that weird resolution issue on PC as well.

Also found something similar.
And some other ones
Fuck a proverbial duck, kill it with fire.
Does the ship have any other unnecessary upgrades that you can break down?
Or something in your suit or multitool that you can sacrifice for a brief period?

Finally upgrade my ship from 24 slots to 32. Have all the hyperdrives. I'm maxed out on suit slots. And now shit just got boring. I have 160k light years to go to get to center. Sigh

Has anyone successfully scanned a bird in the sky yet without shooting it down first? I never manage to find where it lands after shooting it down
I did it once.
Should be a trophy for that!

Trying clicking in when zoomed with R3.
I accidentally found that out earlier.

Sure... You have to track it really well with the reticle.Has anyone successfully scanned a bird in the sky yet without shooting it down first? I never manage to find where it lands after shooting it down

Totally. Or if that is somehow difficult to completely automate, maybe be able to bind recharging of gear to the O button since it's dormant currently.
If you're really on the fence why not just wait? Given that HG wants to add more things to the game, as well as needed stability patches, etc... The longer you wait the cheaper it'll get, but the better the experience will likely be.
