Word salad you mean. I could not understand the meaning of anything posted.

Seems as though they have several problems, but do not give enough information about any of them to even begin to give any help.

Ummm,? Maybe he's saying that it got a warning about spawning in his favorite ship that something was incompatible and his ship might not spawn correctly? The first part seems to be about his experience in the different versions of the Pentaxide(sp) and which ones he prefers. Next seems to be about dinking around while waiting to get enough quantum processors to complete a build? Heh, I'm just trying to give 'em the benefit of the doubt and work out his "form" of grammar to help interpret his issue. Assuming he has an issue and not just passing time posting an expression on his view of the game?

I still think the problem he's having is something to do with fear of spawning in his favorite ship and it being unusable due to some warning he received when selecting it in the blueprint list/factory.

Ok not clear regarding growing pentoxide

There is in game 3 different sort of seeds, only 1 is possible grow in Hydroponic bays one that is called Flawed Pentoxide you producing on your Food processor--- give you yield of 2 units
Second called Imperfect (you can not grow in Hydroponic bays) give you 3 units per harvest
Third called Perfect give you yield of 4 units also can not grow in H.B.
Conclusion------- make them all to be possible use HP considering Xp you spent on it. RE2 is even more grind demanding specially when comes to Pent.
My CV { KATANA--HAV--RE2} complexity 7/ 15 cores atm just over 200K shield capacity with Large Core Reactor and 3 shield specialist ship crew after killing 2 Harvesters in class 3 combat site requires slapping on the front decoy nose 12-15 large hard still blocks plus 3-4 Xeno blocks to under skin. You can imagine how much pentoxide you need and blocks to slap on during 4-5 sites like that and than consider time to grind all that Pent you need. One pent asteroid giving average 280 -360 pent units and than harvesting silly sticks trough Galaxy travelling from Starting system to Drone Land can take easily 4 hours real time of game. Mind you my SV done by well known builder in this game is fitted with 8 laser drills (original BP was with more) to have quality play when warp to first combat site it is desirable to have on hand 12 -13 K of refined pent. mind you that is to do 2 and half sites class 3. To do another 2 and half (which if you lucky ) you can collect enough Processors for 4 Aux cores but often due to destruction reinforced boxes you need to do 1 site more and harvest additionally don't want even to remember. I expect high spending on such set out how shields now working and that is challenging but do something regarding
silly sticks and amount of pent per asteroid

Interesting. I have two different types of Pentaxide growing on my CV. One is the normal basalt looking pent, the other is kinda pyramid shaped when grown. I think they both yield 2 pent when harvested (one might yield 3). I know there is at least another type/color one that I don't have. Not sure where to get it actually, but there are at least two different ones that do actually grow in Hydroponics cubes. I get that you need a lot of pent for warping and for shields. I mine out as many moons as I find and also asteroids when I come across them. I guess for me I just never thought about it much because I'm never short pentaxide because I've spent so much time up front mining it. Yes it's a grind, but I listen to my favorite tunes and it doesn't seem like it takes that long when I do. Hope it gets better for you.

Rich asteroid mining in Zirax territory for Protonium will get lots of Pentaxid also gold, Promethium and some other ores.

I think they are referring to the 3x3 hydroponic bays. Those are crafted as a specific crop as a complete unit; they are not like the grow plots that you can place empty and add whatever you want to grow to. As such they are limited to a specific recipe and single output. There would need to separate bays (and likely skill unlocks) for the different qualities of crystals.

Of course, if there was a way to make higher tiers of hydroponics with greater yield (similar to auto-miners) in general, I wouldn't complain ;)

All that being said, odds of a mobile pentaxid grow-op keeping up with your needs beyond an emergency situation, are somewhat low. You'd either need a massive farm (PITA to set up) or if you're setting up a permanent base anyways, find a planet or moon with pentaxid deposits and drop some auto-miners. Once you get an industrial autominers (better if you're on a server where they can run uninterrupted when off line) you'll have more than you can use.

I don't think you can harvest Pentoxide with autominers

You can.

God o mighty didn't check thx Rav
