fallen grävlingBeen viewing and posting to forum on my phone. Got the invites but phone is bringing the document up as view only. Will see if I can access on my PC in a minute to enter a few possible suggestions but honestly I'm not really up on metallurgy and various geological subjects. Also may be a bit as RL keeps interrupting. Note: google search is my friend, used it before posting about bauxite and after my post about polymer to make sure I wasn't posting misinformation.

Also may be a bit as RL keeps interrupting. If you get view only perhaps the invite did not take. Your knowledge is better than mine. All I know is what a mining professor once said to a friend of mine, then a first year university student studying mining engineering (and no I cannot ask him for this, he dropped out of mining and became a software programmer). Mining is the profitable extraction of resources from the earth. But it must be profitable. Otherwise, you are just digging. |

fallen grävling got into the document and started to add some information to the descriptions. Have added onto the Metal Common, Scarce, Rare and Ore Common, Scarce and rare. Before continuing would like confirmation this is what you were looking for and also to suggest a couple changes to Resource names. Instead of Refined Ore how about Refined Materiel, covers not only Metals but things like Rubber, Cloth, Glass and the like. Second would be to change Alloy Metal to Refined or Processed Metal. Problem with the term Alloy is it implies mixing various metals and other elements like the creation of various types of Steel, yet for many applications the most desirable resource is highly refined and purified metal. 99.999% pure gold is extremely difficult to produce for example yet commands the highest prices, your radioactive metals are generally wanted in purer forms. Additionally many metals have several varieties of isotopes and that can have an effect on their value as well so as an example while platinum is not the rarest naturally occuring metal on earth, pure 190Pt because of it's rareness would have an estimated value of around $1 billion per troy ounce if you could collect that amount of it in pure enough form.

xdesperado - thanks for joining in on the project! We really appreciate the extra work you three are putting in to help us move faster. When we do get to changing the resource names, I've taken a note pointing at this post so we can look at this then. For now, we aren't making any changes there.

Not rushing you two or anything, but just curious around when the next release might be coming?
I've done about all I can with this spy captain, and I'm debating whether to start another captain with different profession (if there's enough time), or just run this one to the ground by doing something crazy...

athios - soon, but we can't give any ETA. I'd really suggest trying other professions than Spy!
