After the 6th launch I finally got a guide drone. Roughly speaking, going off the info you provided that was a .0014 chance of happening (1/3)^6. Nothing like starting off with bad variance, though this is an interesting game mechanic. Thanks!

There isn't a 100% chance. The odds add up to 100%, but are independent of one another. There's a chance you could get unlucky on each independent roll and get nothing. There's also a chance you could get very lucky and get all of them. There's a 1% chance that your very first asteroid miner gets ...

Early on I would say power was an issue with MK1 powerhouses/electrolyzers as ...

Hi all,

I have drilling fluid type 4 connected to a medium oil derrick but for some reason the drilling fluid type 1 icon shows on the derrick. This happened with df2 and df3 too but I finally decided to post to see if it's proper or I'm doing something wrong. Thanks!

Congrats!
I started Py Mod and love how energy, fuel, mining, etc. is handled.
