Thread: What tool do I use to find radioactives?
Message Edited by Shadwe on 05-14-2005 12:41 PM
The survey droid is used to check the names of resources in spawn on another planet without having to visit it. It uses one charge on the droid, and takes one survey tool (you'll want a crate of them if you use the droids). It will then send you an e-mail with the details (no stats) of resources in spawn on the planet you send it to after a period of time.
On TC they are currently not working on some resources, but our resources are a little wacky right now.
Since I've got JTL I've not used one myself, the time it takes to fly to the planet myself and open a survey device outweighs the usefulness ![]()
(On the side issue of swgcraft.com - It is only as up to date as the submissions it receives from players - it does not access the server database to locate resources and see if they have despawned. If you join up to the site then you can notify them that the resource is no longer available and give details on the new spawns that have arrived)

Thanks! I thought I was just crazy, but apparantly SWGcraft is just wrong. So my next question is whatis the interplanetary resource droid for?

Do you really like surveying droids? I find them to take too much time, and the information I receive in return hardly justifies the cost (and I'm a master DE to boot
I agree - they aren't useful now and I'm also an MDE! They did have a use before JTL, but since the time it takes to fly to the planet and open a survey device is often quicker than using the droid (and you can then sample and get stats!). If they started giving stats (which we all wanted at the time) then they might have a use (note: might) but without thatthen I prefer to just use my yacht to fly around.
