BEFORE you head out there, downtrade all the G5 mats you have. THEN, go and refill them all to max. Most efficient that way.

[@RaineDearGames-jx4zb]

Good tip, I forgot to mention that in the video. 🙂

[@earthdog2244]

I totally agree with you. She missed that step.

[@joetuktyyuktuk8635]

I for one appreciate the time and effort you put into this guide, given how much time spend in Elite, gathering materials it is a good return on time investment. Also, I have noticed a big improvement in your production values in your videos, given you are just starting out... well done.

[@RaineDearGames-jx4zb]

You're welcome, glad you found the video useful and thanks for the compliment, I still have alot to learn about making videos, but your encouragement, makes me feel good 🙂

[@Garryck-1]

I wasn't aware that FDev had slightly nerfed the crystal plants.. so thanks very much for this info. I used to use my trusty DBX for raw mats harvesting. Looks like I might need to re-jig one of my Pythons (or maybe a 'Conda like you did) for this. But that will be a while yet. I fully maxxed out *all* my raw mats (as well as manufactured and encoded) before loading all my ships aboard my carrier and heading out to Colonia to unlock all the Engineers there, so as to upgrade all my ships at the same time.

[@RaineDearGames-jx4zb]

Good idea loading up on all your materials before going to Colonia 🙂

[@danieltews6631]

It really worked, and it was a lot of fun again. Many thanks for the valuable tips!

[@franader]

I bumped into a lot of brain trees during some of my expeditions (including the one you sent me on in your last video about exobiology) and found selenium and some other cool material (except brains, unfortunately). But i learned 2 new things in this video: Never heard about these crystal tree planets before, and didn't know that i can harvest these trees by bombarding them. Thanks for the info! Great videos!

[@RaineDearGames-jx4zb]

Brains! more BRAINS! 🤣

[@cmdronfiremightexplode]

OUTTOZ LS-K D8-3 body B5A has geysers that have crystal clusters which have Selenium on them. I maxed mine out moving between three of them, and relogging. A LOT of relogging. But it worked :D

Thanks I didn't know that, I will add it into the description for geological sites.

[@Ezmarii997]

Thank you so much for this video and please continue to make elite content :D I just returned to the game in the last month or two, having last played right as engineers released in horizons so I'm re-learning things. I never really dove into all the aspects of the game because it all felt too intimidating and i didnt have the time, but i do now. and updated info is getting harder to find these days. so thank you very much!

[@RaineDearGames-jx4zb]

I will try my best Commander o7

[@bubo1]

A little tip about the remote release flak launchers. You may have the free ones FDEV gave out in your outfitting store from when they did that event some time back, I can't remember what it was, but they were basically engineered with different colours so they could be used as "fireworks", so probably Guy Fawkes night here in the UK, or your regional equivalent, 4th of July or whatever. Anyway, these particular remote release flak launchers DO NOT work for farming trees, as I personally found out after travelling the 1500LY trip. This was before I saw this video btw. I believe these free launchers are massively nerfed on there damage output, I guess so people could fire them at each other willy nilly, as you do with fireworks in real life, and as a result they do not have enough DPS to shift a shard from a tree. You can only use the "real" remote release flak launchers which you have to buy. The wiki is the best place to find where to buy these as they are not just available anywhere from what I can see, and I think they have to be unlocked. As for the video, I've never heard anyone else make the connection on what might happen with the hoards of abandoned limpets, that is such a funny idea 😆. And the precedent has already been set with VGER on Star Trek! 🤣, which I believe is actually in the game, pre-sentience.

[@RaineDearGames-jx4zb]

Good tip for those Commanders that have the fireworks launchers 🙂

[@RaineDearGames-jx4zb]

It is probably the most complicated game I have ever played, made worse by the fact that Fdev doesn't really do a good job of explaining things to new players... just here is a loaner Sidewinder, good luck! (you're gonna need it!) 🤣Most of the things you see protruding from my Anaconda are just cosmetic add-ons (gotta spend those ARX on something), the ship is sleeker looking without them and they do absolutely nothing, but feed my ego 🙂

Great Video! B-rated collector limpet controllers have the highest range and A-rated collector limpet controllers stay the longest time active.

You are right of course... I always forget about "B" rated, everything is either "D" or "A" rated on my ships.

[@talonmort8059]

Glad to know they're still a reliable source, even if it takes more time. I miss driving around them collecting mats, though.

[@RaineDearGames-jx4zb]

This way is still faster than the old way. The old way the most time consuming part was waiting for the shards to fall to the surface... I got really good at boosting the SRV up, doing a barrel roll and snatching the shards in mid air though 🙂

I do High Grade Emissions with an Asp Scout, no, no. It's all it does and it does it perfectly. I use a Courier for Jameson Crash site. Throw it at the floor and it just lands. Great. I don't bother going all the way out to the trees. It's a long, long way. I get enough from the Crashed Anaconda in Orrere and from the Brain Trees. There is one 300 Ly from the bubble. A fantastic drop rate at the Guardian Obelisk spin location, 1.2Km from where you sit and spin in your SRV. There is also one (which I need to check out again) in the bubble.

Thanks for the guide. That's the most tedious and weird "gameplay" I've done in Elite so far. I feel like my gpu doesnt always render the spires consistently so I'm sometimes wondering if I'm going to fast in my ship or if im too high enough. And the limpets getting stuck or something is very infuriating.

[@RaineDearGames-jx4zb]

as someone else mentioned in the comments it might be useful to lower your graphics settings for this particular part of "gameplay" I tend to max my settings out with ultra settings because I am making a video afterall, so the heights might be different from other people, hope this helps 🙂

[@shawnasbury7375]

You have just earned a Sub thanks to this video! However, for someone who is returning to the Horizons Black Sea after 2-3 years of inactivity (namely because of school) I know about the Jameson Farm for Data Farming and this one for Raws (no one ever gave a clear explanation (Thank you for that btw)) but for Manufactured, I've heard of a place called "Dav's Hope" but that's mostly it. Finding it should be easy. I'm assuming it works in a similar manner to the other two (collect, relog, repeat) but just in case: Do you know if that has changed at all and if so, what changed and do you plan on doing a guide for the other two (Data and Manufactured) as well? All the other guides about them seem out of date. This would be the most up to date guide I've found.

[@RaineDearGames-jx4zb]

Not a quick subject to cover, for me I still go to the Jameson crash site to collect data, sounds like you know the routine there... collect log repeat and go to Diaguandri to trade... works but slow because of the trading across costs alot. Manufactured, I planned on doing a video on. Yes you CAN go to Davs hope but a better way is high grade emissions, it would take too long to go into detail here, but if you are interested check out videos done a few years ago by @hawkesgaming the method still works, but high grade emissions seem to be a bit harder to come by nowadays, especially ones of a duration long enough to make them worthwhile, than they used to be. The basic premise still holds and is much, much faster than doing the loop at Davs hope. Imperial shielding is by far the easiest high grade to gather and trading across for the hard to get ones like Pharmaceutical isolators, still holds. There are some manufactureds that you can only get as mission rewards, like focus crystals and bio conductors. Best bet for those is either Robigo passenger runs (boring) or combat missions like pirate kill missions. If you go the pirate route, stack a bunch of missions from the same provider and lots of the time, killing one pirate counts in several of the same missions. Also doesn't hurt to do the pirate missions for factions like Sirius, as you can use the reputation gain to aid in gaining access to permit locked systems, engineers and gain ranks for unlocking ships... doesn't hurt to kill more than one bird with a stone. Hope this helps 🙂

If you need to break something open to get inside, like at a crashed Anaconda with cargo racks like at KOLI DISCII C-6A, yes and you can get some high grades there too... I haven't tried Guardian sites, you can use limpets to collect materials at DAVS HOPE... so maybe?

[@bernhardschweighofer9234]

Regarding how far you have to fly away from the planet surface, until the crystal-trees disappear: I guess it's the same, as with the brain-trees - turn down the graphic quality (Options - Graphics - Quality --> Low) then it should be much nearer to the surface. Which makes collecting faster 🙂

Hello can you tell me if you have only fleet carrier to got gas fix everything and amunition in that area like in Senuefe system when you explore guardians structures, as there are no Federation, empire, alliance system over there and don't want to risk to blow up my Anaconda to got gas from stars so i need tellurium for fsd v1 class 5 to increase of 10.50 jump range and some for guardians equipment ,anyway thanks for information if you have more like that i would like to know as im in elite dangerous for 2 months now and it takes to much time to got everything before starting adventure journey and appreciate it

[@RaineDearGames-jx4zb]

Honestly your best bet is re-fueling from stars, run a good sized scoop to reduce refuel time... just don't get too close, once your refuel rate reaches about half of the rated maximum of the scoop... most ships can just sit there (you don't need to move your ship once refuel starts) and refuel without overheating. You can see the stars 'exclusion zone' the dangerous area as a circle around the star as you move towards it, just avoid going inside this circle. The truth is, although the 'taking heat damage' looks and feels dramatic, it really doesn't do alot of damage overall... I watched videos on combat where the ship goes up to 600% heat and they didn't blow up... it's not that bad 🙂. Also some stars you can't scoop from at all like brown dwarves and T-tauri stars... they are distinctive looking and have a much larger exclusion zone, relative to their size. If you are determined not to refuel from stars at all, you best get used to the idea of not leaving the bubble of 'civilized' space. I wouldn't recommend going anywhere without a fuel scoop. ... that or make friends with someone with a Fleet Carrier and tag along everywhere they decide to go. Best of luck, commander 🙂

[@dfa1]

One thing I found. Lowering the graphics for terrain made the trees despawn around 600m, easier for limpits, harder to locate patches. With ultra settings, my limpets get stuck at 1k+ elevation, or limpits can't tell there is loot. :(

[@TheTom229]

Do you need a min. jump range before heading out to these sites? I can't seem to plot them on the Gal Map.. :(

[@RaineDearGames-jx4zb]

Yes, in the description I mention its a good idea to have around a 35-40ly range. some have had success plotting a route, with a shorter jumprange, by first travelling up from the bubble a few hundred light years and then trying to plot from there... but I can't guarantee success, best to try and increase jumprange first. 🙂

hello! i encountered a problem with plotting a route , ive got 41 ly jump range and 38 with all limpets and even when im on empty it says route plotting error route unavailable, how to fix?

[@RaineDearGames-jx4zb]

Sometimes it depends on your starting location, when I made my first trip out to the Crystal Shard planets (quite a few years ago), I did it in a ship with a 30 LY range... but in order to make it work I had to first plot a route up from the bubble around 500 LY or so then plotted a route from there to the Crystal Shard planets... I can't guarantee success with this method as I don't have the exact system I plotted that route from anymore, but might be worth a try, hope this helps 🙂

[@djwillyeg]

Great work, thank you. But I can't plot a route to these systems! any ideas?

[@RaineDearGames-jx4zb]

Depends on your jumprange, about 40 LY will work, more is better. When I first started out I managed to do it with a ship with less, but I had to jump up from the bubble first a few hundred light years, the computer likes to plot in a pretty straight line, so if there is a gap between you and the destination it will fail to plot. 🙂

If you are after Selenium and are at a Braintree site, that is one of the problems with farming selenium with this method... as mentioned in the video, Braintrees don't just give selenium... but also give some low value raws too, which why I mentioned that the geological sites can work too.

Make sure you're not using the flak launchers given as a community reward they are fireworks launchers and have much reduced damage values, probably too low to knock materials off the trees.

Strangely selenium is the one I farmed slowly but eventually it's all the rest I get the no valid collection targets after hours of blasting not at hip36601 though trying that tonight, I only have a choice of flak in outfitters which are 2b auto release looks like for xeno fighting so not sure if wrong ones or not

[@Spudd66]

I used HR 3230 3AA for brain tree selenium which worked used Synuefe BY-F D12-39 A2 for polonium and got 1 piece in about 4 hrs blasting with 99.9% of shots saying no collectable target it's weird

[@RaineDearGames-jx4zb]

@@Spudd66 That doesn't sound right at all. Have you tried blasting them right up close and personal, then backing away to launch limpets? and you are making the cannisters explode at the right time? they aren't skipping away off the ground? I mean I just used this method last week, when I filmed the footage for this video and it worked then... if you are doing everything right, then I don't know what to suggest.

Ty for the guide helps a lot but OUTOTZ LS-K D8-3 body C5A doesnt exist

[@RaineDearGames-jx4zb]

Seems to be a typo should be body B5A, has geysers with selenium crystals... I added it without checking, sorry... will change it in the description 🙂

My Limpets crash all the time into the moon surface :(

[@RaineDearGames-jx4zb]

are you sure you have backed up far enough? try increasing your altitude to nearly the max range of your limpets. 🙂

[@solidus3168]

PC ONLY Cant “target” the mats a decent amount of the time and the limpets always slam into the surface.

[@RaineDearGames-jx4zb]

You shouldn't have to target the materials at all, should collect automatically as soon as you launch limpets as long as they aren't on your ignore list. As long as you are high enough the limpets shouldn't hit anything 🙂

[@solidus3168]

@@RaineDearGames-jx4zb understood. Does not work on console. Its the version we have. Unfortunately the limpets seem to think the hit box for the minerals are underground. Its nothing against your video, its very good. I just put my little PSA for other console players.

@@RaineDearGames-jx4zb no worries. It’s Horizons ver 3.8. Just spreading the word. I wasted 4-6 hours trying different sites, planets, configurations and, ships only to have the same result each time. Wish we could AT LEAST get Horizons 4.0.

Most of my g1 through g3 bins are full so I wonder if this is messing up the process?

That is the message you will get, if you are full of what is available on the ground.

[@Spudd66]

Yeah that's what I thought but are we saying then in 30+ large patches back to back it's possible to never find a single grade 5 ?

[@RaineDearGames-jx4zb]

@@Spudd66 No, that doesn't sound right, if you are only getting low grades try going up in supercruise and coming down in a different part of the planet. However, I can't explain how at the shard planets you aren't getting any collection targets.

[@Spudd66]

Nope something weird going on polonium planet fine ruthenium planet all you get is no valid collection target on every patch landed srv by the same patches and shards have ruthenium on them what the hell ?????? collected 60 using srv in about 10 minutes spent 3 hours using auto flak and even mines and not a single ruthenium just the no valid target message…..I give up will go back to old fashioned srv collecting 👍

[@Spudd66]

It’s like the flak cannons can’t break the shards off but they are 2b auto shot and worked on polonium but not ruthenium I have no idea

[@wmgthilgen]

Please define your term "Little more time".

[@RaineDearGames-jx4zb]

Well, I was referring to how the the planets had been changed and the "little more time" refers to the old method of driving around in a SRV to collect the minerals. It would be impossible to define how much more time the old method with the new planet tech would take, as that would depend greatly on where the Commander decided to land his ship. Rest assured this new method is much faster than either, the old method with the old planet tech and the old method with the new planet tech. Hope this clears up any confusion 🙂

[@RaineDearGames-jx4zb]

Yeah, but driving around in the SRV can be fun too, it's how I got so good at doing jumps and loops was shooting the shards off and instead of waiting for them to fall to the ground, boost up with the cargo hatch open and scoop them up mid air... can be fun for a break. 🙂

A 2:20 video is useless to a creator, youtube won't run ads on it and the creator gets nothing in return... I for one am grateful for the information provided and given the amount of time people spend in Elite trying to gather raw materials, I consider it a good return on time investment. If you think you can do better, perhaps you should start your own channel... and see how things go for you. EDIT: Sorry I guess you did... easy to miss, what with your 3 subscribers over 15 years.
