Mine Caelumite

MINING CAELUMITE

Back when the game was new, a lot of us became obsessed with collecting everything in the Starfield universe and shipping it all back to a home base. Unfortunately, the allure wore off when we confronted the Cargo Link limitations and most moved on.

I’ve stayed with it and have done a number of videos on using Mods to build factories that mass produce various Hard Goods, Ammo, and Meds and Chems.(youtube,com/@willny4). But I have come up against an obstacle in my obsession:there are two Unique minerals in the game, Aqueous Hematite (Aq) and Caelumite (Ct), that have to be mined by hand and don’t have extractors so they can’t be part of a production line.

This mod solves that problem by enabling you to mine Caelumite. I’m posting a second mod that lets you mine Aqueous Hematite. Since I don’t have the skill to build new extractors, I had to glom onto other extractors to get this to work. Using a mod published last December, Extract or Mine Everything, as a model and, with the author's permission, I have deconstructed his mod so we can now mine just our two elusive minerals. Each mineral mod has its own .esm file and they will work together. I also increased the production rates and reduced the required distance between extractors.

To mine Caelumite, I've found a lode on Katydid I-a which has a gravitational anomaly. It is found with Ytterbium. Find a vein of Ytterbium, choose Ytterbium in the Extractor Menu and then choose Caelumite. Place the extractor and you will mine Caelumite. Ct is the most valuable single resource in Starfield (value= 264).. It is also used in Helmet and Space Suit mods and can be used to craft the six super heart meds.

Installation -This new file should fix any problems with this mod.

Since most know Caelumite for its role in covering Artifacts, I have tested and have found mining the mineral has no effect on the game play.
