📋 About This Mod
Adds an intermediate mining skill between Basic AutoMine (Mod) and Advanced AutoMine (Vanilla).
Allows you to mine and sell multiple resources within 1 to 4 sectors, depending on your piloting or management skills.
This mod is similar in approach to Standard AutoTrade
Standard AutoMine is the logical continuation in its approach of Basic AutoMine which complements it.
For better integration with vanilla scripts, if you want the full package, use Enhanced AutoMine AutoTrade instead.
I never understood why Egosoft chose to move from a 0-sector Local Mining skill, requiring no stars, to an Advanced Mining skill, requiring 3 stars, allowing you to mine up to 4 sectors for as many resources as you want.
This mod adds a standard auto-mine skill, requiring a 2-star global skill to launch, and allowing you to mine multiple resources, similar to the 3-star Advanced AutoMine. However, the number of sectors you can buy and sell in works like the 3-star Advanced AutoMine minus 1 sector, depending on your Piloting or Management skills, and the number of resources you can mine is also limited based on your Piloting or Management skills.
2 stars = 1 sector / 2 resources
3 stars = 2 sectors / 3 resources
4 stars = 3 sectors / 4 resources
5 stars = 4 sectors / 5 resources
Why 3, 4, and 5 stars, you might ask? So, you just need to launch Advanced AutoMine, right? Because, whether in my mod or in the Advanced Mining scripts, the calculation for launching the skill (2 star for my mod) actually corresponds to your employee's weighted overall skill (also taking into account morality). However, you can very well have only 2 stars in overall skill (so you can't launch Advanced AutoMine), while having 3, or even 4, in Piloting and/or Management. From 5 stars, my mod is no longer useful, but hey, I left it in, it's doable.
If you select more resources than allowed, only the first wares listed up to your maximum will be used.
