Well the new tool allows us to pull it up. How much value is it to you all and should i bother pulling up alot of it?

Last time I checked there was 1 advanced clothign tissue for rifleman which required mollusc. I believe we have no use for crustacean. As for its value? Since this has been all but impossible to find its tough to tell. I only ever had limited sales on the non-advanced version so I'm guessing the sale value will be limited.

Only one specific use for mollusk - but both can be used in anything requiring meat. If the stats are good - hey, it's not a ton at a time, but it's steady.

Well, to give you an idea of how I value it, I'm going to be selling mimetic tissues at double the price of tissues that require "regular" meat. That is to say, I'm adding 60k to the price of a crate of mimetic tissues, which is 2.4k/tissue or 166cr for each unit of mollusk. That is not to say that I would pay that much for mollusk necessarily, but that is how I am valuing it. My justification is obviously that to get the 375 mollusk that it would take to make that crate, it would take me a couple of hours of collecting it. In that same time I could have gotten several k of meat, run a bunch of missions, danced a jig, or whatever, lol.


So yes, BE's do need stacks of mollusk, and to be of any use, the stacks should be large (375 to make a crate as I mentioned). Since getting mollusk now is roughly like getting fish, I doubt you'll have much competition if you decide to harvest it. So charge what you think your time is worth, and I'll bet you'll have no trouble selling it.

Yeah i got 1.5 k of it now and 1k of crab meat. I was thinking im probably the only one on eclipse actually pulling this stuff up at the rate i am. So im thinking of starting the auction at 50-75 CPU and letting the bio engs take it from there.


It does take awhile to pull it up.



And does the quality really matter for these?

It certainly does. 33% OQ, 33% PE, 33% fla as I recall.

So if we happened to run across a good stat crustacean it can be substituted for meat in the BE tissues?

Mollusk and Crustateon should both be subsets of the seafood category (which I really don't think exists anymore) which is a subset of the meat category - which is also called creature food in some schematics - which is a subset of organics.


So yeah, should be able to use either of these in anything that calls for Organics, meat, or creature food. Not just BE's - anyone, med schematics - chef schematics.

Well people are paying 120 CPU for avian meat and thats easier to get. Its not like im selling 100k of it. Its just 1.5k. If the stuff stacked on top of each other than i would charge less. But it doesnt so you have to stand in the water for hours to pull this up while manually placing it in stacks.

Don't be too sure on that my friend


I'm crafting towards MBE in kneehigh water while gathering all the shellfish I can


I got around 5k of each now, too bad the quality isn't the best on either one
