Actually I have gotten in the habit of looking for radioactive as well. We have a fusion generator that loves to go through radioactive, plus needed for some spices, and some CM stuff (which I just became a novice in)

Well, you have the tools now.

Harvesters no longer consume the maint or energy when you redeed them, so you can plop one down, see what resources come up and then redeed it and walk a little ways to find what you're looking for. A defacto (and slow) method of surveying, but it works and a bit better than a survey tool because you instantly know the densities of every resource.

If you don't like the random walk to figure out how to get to a better spot, pick up Artisan.

will still cost u xxx amount of money to redeed...

so its not really a way to do it...

u still need to pay the cost for destroying it

The medical professions ability to pay for resources is not universal enough to support an industry devoted to supplying us with the resources we need. As you mention, our need is less than an arhitects, but the costs of supplying us is greater (artificially due to the broken schematics for flora harvesters). If medics were to have a reliable source of income related to actually healing people they would have more money across the board of the profession and there would be a greater need for the resources. So, while an artisan could sell 50,000 units of steel to an architect at 3 to 1. he could sell and equivilant amount of quality organics to 20 medics (2,500 units each) at 4 or 5 to 1 and have greater profits (excepting again the increased cost in maintaining inferior harvesters).

You are correct. there are medics with money, but they generally make that money by non-medical means (which reduces the number of resources needed), but I believe the profession as a whole is one of the poorest in the game (doctors and combat medics not included).

The inclusion of medical missions to heal x number of people (or wounds) at location y to recieve $ money (combined with fixing the freakin' flora harvesters) would drastically improve this situation. it would increase the overall funds of the medical profession and increase the demand for resources. And get medics accostomed to purchasing their resources at an early age.

I have absolutely no problem with the idea of buying my stuff but it's true: we need more credits AND other players should be aware that there are medics who would buy their stuff.

One way I can think of would be a public Bulletin Board located for example at the bazaars. I could post there that I need some stuff now or that I need stuff everyday and others could contact me then to help me out. (Or post other news as well. Just create some channels like "Galactic News", "Planetary News", "Looking for Items" or "Help! I'm in need of resources"... you get the idea)

We just need some way of broad in-game communication.

Or at least a way to place a demand for something. Maybe at the bazaar terminals.

Try your server forums right here. Miners pounce on the opportunity to collect resources that sell. The only reason its not available at 3 to 5 cred per resource is because they don't know we need it. Let them know the exotics as well, as they are quite used to hazardous surveying.

As far as I can tell, the only thing anyone knows we need is Lokian Wild Wheat. I've been doing my best to let everyone I meet in game know that I need quality avian meat. There are already several people collecting it for me.
