Unknown radioactives popped up under my harvesters this morning after the resource shift, so I decided to just leave them there. I've never mined it before, is potential energy the defining attribute?

I have no idea who my customer base is. What professions use radioactives?

Thanks

You can use radioactives to power your harvesters, if there isn't much wind power (or solar, if you're in that league) available.

Medics use radioactive in some of their stuff, it can also be used in some chef recipes.

I've got 37,000 units of 995 potential energy radiation on Starsider.

So I'm mining the equivalent of wind power? Sheesh. Isn't much of a market for that.

Bio's use them to, what planet are you on?

Corellia, Valcyn

Just don't get in the habit of /sampling for radioactives. When the current patch on Test Center goes live, hand-sampling for radioactives will cause you to take damage!

Assuming they allow that change to go live, of course.

Two uses I know of for radioactives:

1) Power for harvesters and the like. (Power with PE >500 counts as 2 units of power per unit of resource!)

2) Medics need a high PE inorganic to make the best medicines. That seems to be the radioactives.

Tar'Ra (Tyrena/Corellia/Wanderhome)

Combat Medics need radioactive badly for some of the skills...

Smugglers use radioactives to make Muon Gold.

Mining radioactives for power is MUCH more effective than mining wind or solar.

I've got my harvester on a 91% spot...ever see anything that high for wind or solar?

Also, the efficiency rating on my generator is 13%..easy to mine over 10k in radioactives a night.

And there is a market if you price right. I sell almost all my power.

91% radioactive spot under your harvester? Ok, i got a better idea than using a miner for it:

get a Fusion Generator. With a 91% spot, you will be able to make enough power to run 10 LARGE (repeat) LARGE mienrs off that ONE generator.

Fusion Gens cost the exact same for maintenance and re-deed as a wind or solar gen, but are a heck of alot more efficient.... they only take one lot, also.

harvester..fusion generator...semantics...lol..it *is* a fusion generator--sorry i wasn't more clear.
