Not only is the wiki in shambles but...

[ToyotaSupra]

...the TV tropes page is too! Look at this trash:
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/VideoGame/StarMade

A few lines of out of date information on the worlds' most important site on the worlds best game! Horrifying. Some Troper with an account needs to get it going. It's a big site with plenty of reach, and also has the wiki effect, where you google one thing and end up researching on the principles of fusion power.

But y'know what's worse? The wiki. I wanted to search for what asteroid contained what crystal, nothing there. So I laser pretty much everything and every asteroid to find this one crystal...

Look, my point is we need another wiki editing drive as the next community challenge. The devs are hard at work on this game so we should make a little effort too. Out of the THREE WIKIS, none of them have relevant or up-to-date information. I know the game changes often, but not all of it does and a lot is set in stone such as planet types or weapon systems.

And maybe cut 2 wiki's out? One is enough.

If memort serves me right, Someone was working on templates for the new wiki. But that was a while ago, and I expect the same speed as the chat system, but there is someone working on it (There is a badge called "Wiki Editor", so they do plan on leaving it up to the community I guess?)

Didnt know there was a TV tropes page though o -o makes me miss the old tentacle stations somehow xD

The wiki's not linked to from this sites menu are unofficial and controlled by entities other than schine. I totally agree however. I have been meaning to contribute all I've learned as a server admin to the more technical side of the official wiki. It will never be complete or near it though unless a lot of peeps get off our collective butts and throw our brain exrement in there.

I see now its a category page

Wish I knew anything about this game besides placing blocks and somehow it works. I guess maybe when I get some free time I could put a bit of research into ship systems, seeing as they are my (Personal) specialty.

You could mine some planets and asteroids and make a page on what's in them. That's why I went to (all three) wikies.

Here you go:

Asteroid                        Ore           Shard

Varis (green)                    Nacht         Nocx
Chabaz (light brown)             Parstun       Parsen
Dolom (white/gray)               Hital         Hattel
Lukrah (pale yellow)             Fertikeen     Bastyn
Larimar (blue)                   Sertize       Ramnet
Cinnabar (red)                   Zercaner      Varat
Tekt (dark gray)                 Jisper        Mattise
Sugil (purple)                   Threns        Syntir

I typed this over from an old paper note I made some time ago so feel free to correct any naming / spelling mistakes that maybe are in there.

Happy holidays and best wishes for 2015,

Oh Larimar how rare you are, wish I could find an abundance of larimar..... Shields built off of the rarest asteroid :/

Loool I build my base next 10 separate cluster, mostly blue asteroids. I got shields comin' out my fk'n ears mate!

You know what I need more of? Parsen, for lighting. I have a lack of LIGHTS in my near-tanklike base. Deck the halls? Maybe space Santa will bring me some.

Lol, I have too much Parsen, like damn I dont have anything else :p

Pretty much why I think planets and asteroids should have randomised ore. But that's another thread.

Anyway, I checked the wikies, still nothing!

Hmm, can't say I agree with that. In fact this is a good incentive for players to venture out and explore to find the right stuff, but as said another thread.

Greets,

[Utopiaman]

you can get a good mining ship with starting materials
if you sell the weapons you can buy around 500 reactors and 300 modules and some thrusters and cores just in case

Planets have random mineral distribution. I almost exclusively planet mine now due to how much time efficient it is. Although the miner I use is much better for planet mining :P

I know its a little opportunistic to this exploit, but just build a checkerboard of single modules since you dont gain anything for multiple blocks in a group :P

Yes you do :P

It was fixed two patches ago.

Still works for me on Elwyn eternity :/

EDIT: I think this has went a little off-course

Elwyn is still using the old config for salvagers.

Well that clarifies things

Planet plates are randomized, but each plate will exclusively have one set of ore/crystal like the asteroids. As in, if you mine a single plate, it will have only one color of ore/crystal. Move to the next plate, however, and you could have a random new type to collect.
