Players in Elite Dangerous report ongoing frustration with the precision of surface mining rig placement. Despite efforts to position rigs near mining ring edges, the actual deployment point can be off by about one meter, complicating efficient resource extraction. This placement uncertainty disrupts mining operations and wastes valuable time. The community has expressed a strong desire for improved visual aids or predictive tools to help accurately determine rig drop locations. Such enhancements would streamline surface mining and reduce player frustration during resource gathering missions.
- Mining rig placement can be inaccurate by roughly one meter.
- Players seek better visual tools for precise deployment.
