    ...I'm not? There's only 5 sectors in-game currently. The 5th being a combination of level 5-10 planets.

    Though to answer your question, having played since beta was released I've done everything and can do so quickly. Plus, the crazy ore generation made it a hell of a lot faster.

    I never had any trouble with coal, not even from dec 5. But other ores I did have some problems with until beta sector (gold, silver, iron).

    Though right now everything seems a bit overbalanced lol

    I really want something like cortex command where I can build or order my own mining equipment and have most of the mining automated by the robots or flesh bots through my character's cybernetic brain. Maybe then the ore generation can again be a bit more sparse, and people would have more reason to stay on their planet and mine it to the core.

    Ahaaaa, now I get it :) Still, from what you're saying I get the impression that the progression is a bit too fast. What do you think?

    It's extremely fast, though that is because tiers 5-10 aren't finished so the method of getting the gear and progressing is fast and easy. This will drastically change as they finish each tier.

    Just found out that the fast progression is intended for testing purposes. Now it all makes sense :D The bug hunting would take so much more if everyone took days to get to higher-end tiers :)

    I really cant understand why there is no oil or such thing even in games from 1995 named clonk you could mine oil depots with pump (you could do with every liquid) and refine it in an refinery to other things...

    Now THAT would be very interesting, since the liquids in this game have pressure.

    You can make charcoal and lanterns now~! Only mineral I'm having a problem with is, oddly enough, copper. Can't find it anywhere.

    When you go to sector X, the level of planets are between 5 and 10.

    Birds = All flying monsters

    To find asteroids just build up on a planet and you'll find some :) But be careful, it's cold up there :D

    I dont know about you, but I never had a problem with coal. There are tons of ways to mine coal without torches.

    1. Use the flashlight.
    2. Search a random spot (not where you spawn), tunnel right down, sunlight will light everything up, you only need to remove the walls...

    If you have good armor and weapon and can take a few hits, using the lantern provides enough light to mine without torches. That way you cave on coals :)
