Should you’re not into the nippiness deep-space vibe of Mass Impact 2’s resource-gathering minigame, the place you launch probes at planets and watch your pile of iridium tick up, different choices can be found. The One Probe All Sources (opens in new tab) mod, just like the title suggests, provides you each useful resource on a planet with a single probe. Or you can simply Cheat Engine your approach to an enormous stockpile and by no means run out of aspect zero once more. If neither of these appears satisfying to you, now there’s one other option to get round listening to the phrases “probe launched” a few hundred instances.
Nos Astra Mineral Trade (opens in new tab) is a mod for Mass Impact Legendary Version by beccatoria and Workforce Pyjak that permits you to commerce sources and forex on a galactic inventory market, shopping for and promoting commodities as a substitute of—or in addition to—mining them. Along with being a spaceship commander, hostage negotiator, and promoting spokesperson, now Shepard could be an investor as effectively.
The mods additionally contains new missions, with extra strains for current characters created with AI dialogue device xVASynth and voice performing by modder Gaige Barker. To start the mod, head to Nos Astra on the asari world of Ilium within the Crescent Nebula the place you will discover terminals for public buying and selling close to the docks entrance. There you possibly can signal as much as purchase and promote aspect zero, iridium, platinum, palladium, and galactic normal forex for various commerce charges.
Because the mod’s description explains, “Commerce charges refresh after every mission, together with randomly generated financial situations which have given rise to any surplus, regular provide or scarcity.” You can too play the market from a terminal on the Shadow Dealer’s ship. It isn’t the identical as exploiting provide and demand in video games like Elite or Wing Commander Privateer, however it’s good to have an alternative choice to planet-scanning that provides one thing fairly than trivializing what’s already there.
To put in Nos Astra Mineral Trade you will must obtain it from NexusMods (opens in new tab) or Mod DB (opens in new tab), then set up it with the ME3Tweaks Mod Supervisor (opens in new tab). Apparently it is incompatible with the New Attire for Females (opens in new tab) mod, since each alter content material within the Ilium docks space, so I am afraid you will have to decide on between enjoying the inventory market or having each girl put on a minidress.
