Explorers not finding titanium ore at alll

[MaelstromJ]

My explorers are not finding any titanium ore at all despite my loading them with books to increase the chance of finding titanium ore and increasing the amount they find. Is this a problem because I feel like adding books to get my explorers achieve a specific task is a waste of time. Ive never seen an explorer find titanium ore at all.

Hello,

Even with the 15% boost the best chance to find it is on very long searches and it's close to 10% for 10 ore. The other skill with 3 books in adds 24% so 3 ore.
Untill it can be mined, the best places to get it from are colonies, adventures or the trade office.

Cheers!

Hello,

...the best places to get it from are colonies,.....

Cheers!

which would be great if pvp colony battles were working - I looked a week or so ago and they were still messed up and unplayable....

My explorers have never yet found titanium ore with or without books and that includes the longest avaialble searches...

Somebody has to be at the wrong end of the bell curve, your data suggests it's you.

What? Try a response that isn't rude and makes sense.

Titanium ore is found only via long or very long treasure searches, very small amounts too so prob not worth putting books into finding more ore but put books into reducing search time ( pilgrimage, mountain boots, pathfinder).

I've found plenty of titan ore on long or very long without the "find more % of titan ore skill" so its not bugged, I own 150+ scouts so have you got the scout numbers as sending 5-10 on specific titan ore searches will yield little.

can confirm that titanium ore drops - normally i only do prolonged which drops titanium bars but i sent a batch out and got ore.

So either it is very localized bug or you sending the wrong searches
