Whenever i DO find it above 45 % concentration I'm always in the middle of a tectonic catastrophe of ridges and mountains (or i'm at that hateful 2% incline where you can build anything but large harvesters and fusions =P)

i also suffer from the low ore. I am Architect since 1 week, i am 1011 now and atm i have 4 harvesters at a 50% spot, the only 70% i could find was unuseable and i searched for around 4h on naboo, rori and tatooine.

Are there any tips from other Architects how to find a good source of ore?

50% is a good source. Ore is like solar. 70% is like the hard cap, and instead of being in little clumps that go up and down in concentration quickly it's all over the planet (almost no place you can go where you wont get at least a 10% reading).

That ist he tradeoff. It's everywhere, just not in good concentration. 50% is a decent rating for ore. 60%+ is great, and 45% is about the bottom that I would say is reasonable for dropping harvesters.

Finally found a 66% spot (i get to drop on 65 cuz thers like 800000000 harvesters already there).

thanks for the info, so does this mean it is waste of my time to search for more then 60% ore? The only reason i searched so long is because an architect told me, that she never harvest under 80% so i thought she finds 80% ore spots and searched long because i did not want to waste harvester time.

The good thing for me is, my gas and chemical harvesters harvested 40k now and i dont think i need more soon so i think i should set up at least 5 ore harvestors and 3 for alu/stell/cooper.

Are there any caps on other ressources?

I've seen 70-74% spots about 5-6 times in 4-6 months of looking, so I frequently settle for 5x%.

Depends on how bad you need it, but almost all resources I would not put on under 80%

The exceptions are the ones where you just won't find an 80% spot. Which is solar, wind, ore, and I think water.

I hate that... it's so bothersome to find a 60+ spot and then not being about to put anything down on it, jump for joy if I find anything above 50%

all my ore is harvested in the lowland basin on tatooine between bestine and wayfar, its nice and flat, its a huge space and you can guarantee that part of it will have atleast 60% ore most of the time.

I currently have 8 harvesters there at the moment, ofcourse it doesnt help if you play on a busy server, that part of tatooine is probably covered in player cities on your server. There are only a few small outposts on our server

If anyone is on infinity server there is a 72% patch about a km south west of anchorhead .Its low quality silactisite ore but is on flat land with only my army of harvesters there .Its also a 53% wind patch

Im on a 78% right now. I mine on Talus and not some of the more populated planets where most flat spots are taken by towns or have annoying valleys and crevices.

People shun Talus because they dont want to travel there but i love it because its flat and nobody likes it there More places to mine.

If you ever needed proof that the devs hate us, just go looking for ore(just kidding devs.. sort of

). Just whose idea was it anyway to make the resource that isused in larger quantities than any other in the game (for a single schematic at least), and make it one of the least likely to appear in high concentrations? I mean, we're talking rock here for the most part, just how hard is it to find rock?

Unfortunately there's 3 metropolis's built in that area on my server. Still, I checked there FIRST. I knew about that area being flat, and the ore just wasnt any good there today. But I found a BETTER area to check. Naboo... the whole norther coast is tons of flat area. Just start at one end and go all the way to the other and you're bound to find some sort of good vein. Makes lowland basin look like a pig trough there's so much flat space on that strip.
