--Mineral Resource My mineral resource bonus is 25, not 10 as reported on the page. I assume, it depends on how much spare you had "left" on your imported save. Goekhan / 46.197.229.90 05:53, March 8, 2012 (UTC)

Minerals

How much is needed for the 100 import score? I had over 100,000 of each, expect element zero, of which I had over 80,000. 67.234.23.165 20:32, March 9, 2012 (UTC)

Many have reported that with 100K Platinum and Palladium (or something like that) they got 100 (some say even less). I got 10, in spite of my imported game being quite more - it was a re-imported game. I then edited the game to set all resources to 1 million each, and still got either 10 or 25. I think there's a bug somewhere. IMNdi50160 00:19, March 20, 2012 (UTC)

Funny idea - you don't think the results are linked to UNC: Valuable Minerals? --24.208.165.252 03:54, March 21, 2012 (UTC)

Doubtful; many have reported the resources are proportional to the quantity of Palladium and Iridium/Eezo (?) in store. Given that those numbers are actively carried into the ME3 savegame, it makes sense. Also, having high resources upsets the game and it reverts to 10. So, it's pretty obvious it's tied to ME2 resources. IMNdi50160 03:25, March 22, 2012 (UTC)

The saved games also keep a record of how many planets you deplete from ME2. My intuition is that lots of people are either using LotSB or savefile hacking to bump up their mineral counts, whereas the game actually only cares about how many planets you strip mine as far as which version of the mineral resources war asset you get.

After testing a save file (post-suicide-mission) that imported with the 10 version of the mineral resources asset then depleting five clusters in ME2 and importing again, that new version of the save still got the low mineral resources version of the asset. I suspect that the probing must be done before the suicide mission is complete. Freduardo 04:29, March 25, 2012 (UTC)

There is evidence to suggest you might need all of your resources to add up to 900k plus in total up to whatever the point of hitting the glitch "ceiling" is.--Xaero Dumort 23:11, March 26, 2012 (UTC)

I got the max War Asset with a total mineral count of about 530k, so 900k is defintely too high. Eisengreifer 11:32, April 6, 2012 (UTC)

due to the dearth of information regarding what -exactly- are the conditions needed to get that 100 mineral assets i'm also going to post what i did.

• edited mineral numbers in playthrough A, post-suicide mission, to match what i had in playthrough B that got 100 points (an earlier ME2 playthrough when ME3 wasn't out yet and therefore everything done as it should be). didn't work upon ME3 import (the numbers were 300k of each upwards).
• stripmined who knows how many planets in playthrough A -just before- suicide mission, voila. 100 points. didn't stop until the planets mined are depleted and everything is at least 200k.
• my earliest ME2 playthroughs (C1 and C2 - one is a newgame+) only had +-100k minerals and ~70k average, respectively. their imports to ME3 yielded 100 points. don't remember if i stripmined planets here or not - probably did.
• today's moral lesson: don't dupe your mineral numbers in ME2. it doesn't take much to attain that 100 points anyway.

The setting minerals thing does not work not because there is some post suicide mission cut off for resources, or because save editing bugs your save or anything like that, its because there is the resource setting which is used for the ui and for buying things but there is also a plot data setting for each resource type that doesn't get incremented when you just change your resources. As I've commented elsewhere ME3OT seems to be 40k total for 25 and 200k total for 100 and ME3LE is 250k for 25 and 1m for 100 (Numbers pulled directly from the PCC (sequence file) that controls ME2 save import in regards to war assets), neither of these are hard to get in the respective versions and neither require anywhere near 100%ing the galaxy map.47.135.122.157 04:20, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

If the information on this StackExchange question is true, then we have a concrete number. Adding it to this page. ZypA13510 (talk) 14:13, September 28, 2018 (UTC)

OK, so this is not considered a "legit source". If anyone finds a verifiable source on the actual amount required to get full 100 military strength, please also consider updating the Planet Scanning page of ME2 to include this number. ZypA13510 (talk) 15:06, September 28, 2018 (UTC)

I had more than one million of each mineral and I got 100 points of War Assets. I explored and depleted all the planets available in the galaxy map. Maybe if you don't deplete all explored planets you don't get all the points. 95.17.253.234 00:03, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

The numbers are different for ME3LE, i don't know if you played the LE but as far as ME3LE is concerned the numbers are any save import is 10, 250k is 25 and 1m is 100, thats combined totals see, there are also comments on the on the respective nodes that are likely the numbers for ME2 OT, see and see. BioD_CitHub_002ProCit.pcc handles all war asset import stuff for other things like did you do arrival and such.47.135.122.157 03:10, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

This is also worth noting that 1 million combined in ME2LE is not a lot I didn't even go to half the planets in my me2le run and I only depleted less then 40% of planets available and didn't do any lotsb "rich planets". 47.135.122.157 04:05, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

I appreciate the work you've done and the information you've shared, however, it's a starting point for adding info to the page not the end point, this needs confirmation or at the very least you need to clearly set out EXACTLY what the requirements/conditions are (no hedging, no "it seems" or "it appears"). I created a separate section down at the bottom, feel free to discuss there. Neo89515 (talk) 17:14, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Asset Reformat

Certain assets need better formatting in regards to the structure of the page, as well as determining their individual positive or negative strength values.

Also, Delta and the Naval Flotilla need to be moved up after Arcturus, Shanghai placed before Naval but after Delta. Communication Array and Sixth Fleet should be after the Flotilla. Zaeed and Kasumi should be before Allers. Biotic Company should be after Kahlee.

Since the bug's been logged, how many?

Since the bug about artificially raising your mineral count has been logged, how many DOES it actually take to get a score of 100?NickTyrong 19:08, March 24, 2012 (UTC)

Any updates, people? Alex T Snow (talk) 09:51, August 19, 2012 (UTC)

Eden Prime Assets

For the Eden Prime assets, is it +25 for every piece of intel recovered? (for a cumulative total of +75 for finding all three, so 100 Assets total from Eden Prime)

Or is it +25 for finding intel at all, regardless of how many pieces are recovered? (for 50 assets total from Eden Prime) ShermTank7272 01:57, April 6, 2012 (UTC)

It is a total of 100 for finding all three pieces of intel and completing the Eden Prime mission. Trandra 03:22, April 6, 2012 (UTC)

Trivia: 103rd Division - Team Zeta

Trivia: 103rd Division - Team Zeta - Their nickname Bridge Burners could be a reference to the Malazan Book Of The Fallen by Steven Erikson, where the main protagonists are the members of an elite engineer company consisting of sappers, sharpshooters and other specialists. In their descriptions it mentions about how loud their parties, which is another similarity and the quote about "After what we've been through they are just happy we are not burning down the base" also resembles a quote from the book. --Ornlu 10:27, April 7, 2012 (UTC)

N7 Special Ops

I am a bit curious to know if there has been something that has changed since the last few patches that has made the N7 Special Ops bugged or glitchy. For me while playing on 360, I've only seen the asset for a short time in my latest playthrough and its easy to know when its missing with the rather large 1400+ value it carries right now. I'm hoping to figure out what is going on with this considering the effect that one asset can have on the game for anyone playing through. - Axel Shiokawa (talk) 23:52, March 7, 2013 (UTC)

It is definitely a server-side problem from personal experience. I've run into this type of situation numerous times whenever BioWare decides to do server maintenance.Dibol (talk) 18:03, March 16, 2013 (UTC)

Zhu's Hope asset

I am pretty sure you don't need to save all the colonists on Feros to get them as a war asset. I killed most of them, spared Shiala and then helped her on Illium - and gained the asset, whereas when all of them were spared but I didn't help her on Illium, the asset wasn't available. 46.250.168.24 14:58, March 25, 2013 (UTC)

Normandy SR-2 Asset and Citadel DLC

According to this page the Normandy SR-2 asset should be updated by 70 points if you have the Citadel DLC. But I think it only gets updated after Citadel: Party. Am I right? If so, we need to clarify this. -- DeJuanNOnley (talk) 11:22, August 31, 2013 (UTC)

Since you can't return to the Normandy until after the party, it doesn't matter and doesn't need to be clarified either. — Elseweyr (talk) 12:24, August 31, 2013 (UTC)

I cannot concur, though. I've managed to return to the Normandy after the conclusion of the events around Shepard's evil twin. Since I had played the DLC's mission early on (I guess shortly after Priority: The Citadel II), I would have missed some companions for the party if I had gone straight for it. However, returning to the Normandy allowed me to delay the party until after the events on Horizon had taken place to get Miranda to join.

Normandy vs Fleet

Am I the only one who finds it funny that a fully upgraded Normandy is stronger than many of the fleets? The Normandy being 185 points on it's own, and even with some of the fleets fully upgraded. 13621 05:49, February 27, 2015 (UTC)

Hey 13621, it is indeed a bit strange but it's not the only inconsistency for war assets. For example, N7 special ops (from Multiplayer) can also become overpowered. It's only a gameplay feature so the war assets "number" is not that related to the lore. If you want to find a consistent explanation with some speculation, I would suggest to open a forum as this talk page is not intended to have such conversation. Have a good day. --DeldiRe (talk) 07:28, February 27, 2015 (UTC)

Ashley Williams

In the section on her, when she's called lieutenant, there's a marker of [sic] to be found. However, IIRC she has gotten promoted between the events of ME 2 and ME 3 and bears this rank when the events of ME 3 take place. These marks should therefore be removed.

95.90.248.102 23:31, September 2, 2019 (UTC)

The reason for the [sic] after lieutenant is most likely because that passage is an in-game description, therefore a mistake on the developer's part. Sic means that the word has been transcribed as found in a source text. 12.38.125.154 18:06, September 3, 2019 (UTC)

Physics Fail

A diamond, synthetic or natural, would make an incredibly poor heat sink due to its very low heat capacity, ω. See discussion towards the bottom of this answer. DaBarkspawn (talk) 03:57, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

Legendary Edition Mineral Resources Import

Another user (no username) recently left the following claims that need additional corroboration, either from play testing (in unmodded game), additional users, preferably both: Neo89515 (talk) 16:27, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

“In the Legendary Edition the requirements are any imported ME2 save is 10, if you had a combined total (of any combination of) resource(s) count >250,000 you get 25, and if the combined total was >1,000,000 you get 100. Rewards in ME2LE for importing a ME2LE save related to resources and Normandy upgrades are laid out in BioD_CitHub_002ProCit.pcc, there are comments within the file that would indicate the 25 reward is 40,000 combined and the 100 is 200,000 however the Int value that's being checked as true or false in the sequence is >250,000 and >1,000,000 respectively. The game also does not appear to check when you got the resources and the game itself does not appear to have a counter anywhere in the save to even track this.”
