0 AndouRaiton Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 (edited) They don't take ten minutes, most of the time they actually end up stuck in some places, so its best to run around the side rooms where the excavator shows up. But i do agree it is slow. And no there is now way of adding energy other than power carriers. Edited October 10, 2018 by AndouRaiton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carriers have a limited number of spawns, if they get stuck or there are too many cells left behind somewhere, they wont spawn anymore and you may have to backtrack and deliver some of those cells for the spawning to restart.

0 (PSN)Black_Adder_ Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Just go to next excavator if no carriers are showing up. And don't kill the ones you meet on your way to next excavator - lure them to next excavator, then kill them and have a stockpile next to the new excavator. I mean, if you can survive couple of shots then kill all mobs except carriers when going for excavator and don't move too fast so they don't get lost chasing you.

I tried, I just left the old excavator die to spawn 2 new ones, still, only 1 carrier spawned in the process ( I was return to old excavator location for check, also I killed all mobs, I was also playing as nekros to try spawn more power cells...) 28 minutes ago, schilds said: If you're not killing enemies, new ones don't spawn. I killed 100 enemys, no carrier was spawned, only others enemys and corrupted ones (I was in a void fissure mission...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 (XBOX)A weedy Girl Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I've had this happen quite a lot , especially in faction missions. It can help if you try to kill only the carriers you need at the start but not always. Sometimes there's nothing you can do but run from one excavator to the next , grinding it out 20 at a time.

0 Xotia Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I agree, we need serious changes to excavation missions. Either a higher spawn or even better- A marker placed on Power Cell Carriers when drills run out of power! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Yrkul Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I rarely have this problem when using a Nekros. Just Desecrate away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 -AiLuoLi- Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Complain to DE until they fix excavation. Some tileset like Europa has been a buggy mess for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 kamyung Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Yup there was once I played as hydroid on heiracon (cause the tentacle is pretty good and I had a good strength) and I killed a power carrier while 3 excavators was active and I litterally keep traveling through the map and find power carriers Excavation while solo is one of the worst missions I have did cause I litterally go activate one and run to the second one to active it and do the same thing I really couldn't even have one being finished.

0 Guest Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 mobs sometimes clog up, literally clog up especially in the earlier rotations. Some spawn and stop because they are too far, they are usually far slower than you are and they can sometimes end up body blocking eachother start to spin in small circles. They stream more steadily later on but can still clog up in choke points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 voltocitygel Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 The fewer squaddies you have with you in an excavation, the more trouble you'll have. Just go with random people if you can. It'll go better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Random does random extrations... This is true. What I usually do is just avoid excavation like the plague. Only go in there with a team of friends wearing full hazmat suits, to continue the metaphor.
