Pst, Guys, Don't Waste Your Oxium On The Distilling Extractors

[ThePresident777]

A week ago, it was giving good stuff, now it just gives the 4th item on the planet's materials list.  Waste of resources.

For the past 7 days it has given me 4 orokin cells 2 times (the last time being yesterday).
You seem to have forgotten how RNG works in this game.

i tried out the distilling extractor on (i think it was) saturn. had both resource boosters equipped.

 

titan extractor...after 4 hours...169 plastids

 

distilling extractor...after 8 hours and almost 50% damage...169 plastids

 

not worth it in my opinion

[Llyssa]

Resource boosters don't affect extractors.

 

Distilling has 2x the chance to get rare resources. Otherwise, it gets the same amounts of stuff. It's meant to be used when you log out for the day/night, nothing more.

Good to know, Was wondering if it was going to be worth it. =)

[Zoid25]

I dont know, I got over 1000 plastids the first day...and ever since then only the 4th resources... kind of disappointed... but such is RNG

[ZachPrime]

I was so excited to build it, but it hasn't yielded anything notable to me just yet. I keep using it, though, because why not?

Distilling has 2x the chance to get rare resources.

I had Titan Extractor running on Saturn for quite a while. When they introduced Distilling Extractor, I switched to that one. So far, I only got Plastids and Nanospores. Maybe I got bad RNG, but the chances for rare resource seem to be so low, that even doubling them doesn't make a difference.

It makes a difference, it's just not a huge one.

 

Still, if you've got Zephy what else do you have to do that requires oxium? Answer: distillers or the new sentinel--which is still borked.

 

And the resource isn't particularly hard to come by. If you're farming T3 keys on Phalan, you'll quickly have more than you know what to do with.

[Wahooo]

2x the chance to get rares.

 

What is the base chance?  5%?  2%?

 

If the Titan is 5% then the Distiller is 10%.  Still pretty friggen low.

But yeah don't farm for the Oxium just aquire it and build one when you have enough or do farm a few runs and build it and only deploy it when you have 8 hours away.

 

So far i'm ok with them, after farming all the zephyr parts it wasn't that much more to tack on the Distiller's Oxium.

if you have zephyr why would anyone want to even farm oxium anymore :)

[ThePresident777]

And, I just got nano spores.  The chance of getting anything good is too low.

[Sloan441]

You'll end up with the stuff, since one of the best nodes to farm for T3 keys is presently under corpus control. Soooo...you'll see lots of oxium ospreys in the normal course of business and end up with a quickly growing pile of oxium.

 

The only things to spend said oxium on are the distillers and Helios. This should be obvious.

 

The fact is, the distillers do have a better chance of coughing up rare materials, so if you have an excess of oxium you may as well build a few.

[ThePresident777]

The slight advantage is not worth the time.

[Darzk]

I would drop them on at the end of the night, but otherwise not worth the wait. Less resources overall, and the exact same chance for rares.
