Radioactive ore

[Luceat]

Hello dear farmers...

I`m back in the game...i could say..i`m addicted again ;)

My actual focus lies on automation ... so good as the actual machine allows it.

But my question so far is .. is there very less radioactive ore in the mines or is it just me?
It feels like .. some times ago .. when i was searching (grinding) for iridium-ore ...
So...is R-O the old I-O?

Well it depends on a few factors:
-Your luck, mining level, and daily luck level;
-Cant be on elevator floors;
-Have the hard mine difficulty turned on the altas at level 120;

Now i feel like iridium is even easier to get than gold for eg, but RO in a good run on the mines (not skull cavern) give me around 60-100 pieces, but it all depends on the luck you have when you break the nodes it can be between 2 on the worst luck possible and 6+ on the luckiest drop. You can also get full ingots from monster drops.

Once you use the shrine to change the mines to be more dangerous all the time I believe it’s generally best to farm for radioactive ore beginning on level 40 on good luck days.

I legit need to spend more time getting gold ore than iridium, even without using gold ore to make mega bombs.

If you don't care how much real life time it takes, resetting floor 1 over and over will net you the most ore each in-game day.

Oh, that's an interesting strat. By "resetting", do you mean waiting for the next X:10 interval to roll over (since I think it stays the same if you don't), or something else?

That was only on 1.3, or if multiplayer.

You enter, check the floor, if no ore leave. Repeat.
