furturgamesliker Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 As the title says there could probably be a small chance of the titan extractor retrieving a random amount of money as it retrieves a random resource with a random amount I doubt people like the idea though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would likely only drop 500-2,000 credits (at most), and players can get 100,000+ in 10 minutes. The point of extractors is for collecting needed resources. We can get credits anywhere.

If they start dropping credits, it would be a huge nerf. (Something we don't want) I would much rather 400 plastids over even 10,000 credits! EDIT: Also, "small chance" does not equal 4/10. That would be an insane chance. 1/20 would be a small chance. Edited February 18, 2018 by AJman14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midas Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 This seems helpful for new players who don’t have access to Akkad or the index. However endgame players will probably Desire resources over everything else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based off the cost, a small amount of credits would mean that it was a waste of time. A “small amount” is probably going to be under 2k credits. But an extractor costs 10k to make, and the bp is 50k. How many extractions must you do to break even? It just simply would be a waste of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJman14 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Like Distilling/Titan/Credit (prime) extractors? It could be useful for new players, but most people with even 20 hours already figured how to credit farm, to some extent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJman14 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Plus, without a credit extractor, they would use titan/distilling, which would help them more in the long run, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DE would not do medium amounts. Look at the bounties, you would probably get similar credit rewards as those (potentially scaling with planet level). Why would you use a credit extractor, when it means one less resource one can be placed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you would have to work MORE, because you'll now have to farm for the resources that you otherwise would've received from a titan extractor.

No. Because credits are far less work to collect than resources. It would be more efficient to just farm credits and extract resources. As you said in your OP: 1 hour ago, furturgamesliker said: I doubt people like the idea though I suspect you are right. Extractors themselves are not that well used. A credit extractor is basically pointless. Because DE would make it too expensive (you said less expensive than the others, that wont happen), and the rewards will be negligible. Of course, I have no objections to them adding credit extractors (I just would not use them). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MystMan Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 If new players need to farm credits, I'd suggest they unlock Jupiter and run around the gas city tile set opening lockers and containers. That place drops a lot of credits compared to other planets. That's what I did when I was a new player, it helped me a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oreades Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 If you need credits you probably shouldn't be spending the credits to build extractors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozent Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Credits should come along with the extraction if you're talking about such miniscule amounts such as 5k. A seperate extractor would just be a useless time consumer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Aerik93 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I disagree - it’s hard enough to get the resources you want over how long each extractor takes. I’ve personally got over 4000 Detonite Ampules and I don’t know how many Fieldron Samples over the duration of a few months and they both make the majority of the results out of Titan and Distilling extractors alike. Either way, there are still so many other ways to gain just as many credits out of any other thing you can do. I don’t think extractors should be another one. Extractors cost so much already to make on their own. If they’re gonna drop credits it should be a rare drop where we receive more than we spent to make them.

What planets are you putting your extractors? I rarely get any Detonite Ampules or Fieldron Samples, anymore. For example, I just got 591 Polymer Bundle, 148 Plastids, and 1062 Alloy Plate from Uranus, Saturn, and Venus, respectively. I was using 3 Titan Extractors.

I was using 3 Titan Extractors. I use my extractors primarily to obtain Orokin Cells - Ceres and Saturn. The third I put in Uranus for the Nano Spores. There are no other eligible locations to place Extractors besides those two places. While the Orokin Derelict has Orokin Cells, an extractor can’t be placed there. That’s all I can do, but I only put Distilling Extractors on the aforementioned two planets. Titan Extractors go wherever I have need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titan Extractors go wherever I have need. Distilling? Yeah.. those always give Detonite Ampules. I remember trying for Orokin Cells, and giving up, as I would only get maybe 3 a week! I now go for Plastids and Polymer Bundle. It's a lot easier to farm for a few Orokin Cells, if I need them, rather than farming for the Plastids/Polymer Bundles that I would've received from my Titan Extractors.

Set ‘em up when you go to sleep. It’s good waking up with the thought in mind that your Distilling Extractors may have Orokin Cells waiting for you to collect. Y’know?

I like waking up to find Plastids and Polymer Bundles, instead of the nearly guaranteed Detonite Ampules. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
