hi guys, welcome to a tutorial on how to make lots of cash in X4 Foundations in the early game through crystal mining.
we'll be covering two mods that i think you will need in order to not make crystal mining a chore, where to sell said crystals since its not always clear where you can sell them as there is no station that needs them as a resource, and in the end showcase just how a few crystals mined and sold can go a long way into giving you the ability to field a small mining fleet of your own in the more or less 1-2 hours since start of a new game.
P.S- THE MODS ARE ENTIRELY OPTIONAL AND YOU DO NOT NEED THEM TO DO CRYSTAL MINING
CRYSTAL MINING IS A VANILLA FEATURE OF THE GAME, THE MODS ARE USED FOR DEMONSTRATION PURPOSES
i tried to keep it as short as possible, i hope you will find this informative- comment if you would like to see more of this game in the future, like n subscribe and ill hopefully see you in the next one.
