Mine Aqueous Hematite

MINING AQUEOUS HEMATITE

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 Aqueous Hematite . I’ve posted a sister mod that permits mining Caelumite. 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.

Aqueous Hematite is usually found in lead deposits on Mars but I found a larger lode on Katydid III and used Indicite as its host. Go to Katydid III, find a vein of Indicite, choose Indicite in the Extractor Menu and then choose Aqueous Hematite. Place the extractor and you will mine Aq. Combine Aq with Membrane and Metabolic Agent and you can make Pick-Me-Up (value 450).

Installation - There was a problem with the Caelumite mod which is now fixed Both should operate as planned. Sorry if this messed you up.
