For some reason the the planets dose not show up in the description for some people. so here is the list: HIP 36601 - C 4 A - Selenium - (Not cryatal shards) HIP 36601 - C 1 a - Polonium HIP 36601 - C 1 d - Ruthenium HIP 36601 - C 3 b - Tellurium HIP 36601 - C 5 a - Technetium Outotz LS-K d8-3 - B 7 b - Ruthenium Outotz LS-K d8-3 - B 5 a - Yttrium Outotz LS-K d8-3 - B 5 c - Antimony

Dec 30 3306 Outotz BO-V c17-0 8 g (121 ly away from HIP 36601) has 4.3% Selenium so I stopped on a flatish plain for some surface mining metallics, chondrites and meso's and have been rewarded with about 30 units of Selenium. It's also been spitting out slighly more Antimony than Selenium (boo as I've got a full hold) as well as lots of Molybdenum and Vanadium. I landed at 44.13 x -62.75 and am just lifting off now. o7

[@pluxauag7555]

Just a quick comment whilst enjoying stocking up for a few days in this system, the piceous cobbles produce iron, sulpher etc, these actually prove very useful in restocking so you'll never run out of SRV fuel, ammo or if you accidentally fall off a side of a mountain getting that selenium crystal needle, instant SRV repair. Keep up the great, great work and thank you for taking the time to make these educational videos on a truly epic game. X-Beyond The Frontier is my 2nd all time favourite game, was 1st. Cities Skylines is 3rd, Forza Motorsport 4th (Dreamcast Ferrari F355 Challenge is equal 4th) if you're wondering. I did play the original on the Acorn Electron when very young and none the wiser when my older brother played this ground breaking game. Bring back the X-Beyond The Frontier computer assist voice, memories of "Crystal Fab completed" and "Ready to Dock" in that great Babylon 5 style they had.

[@Debb4h]

The best advice i can give you about this technique, when picking which biological site you gonna land, pick the ones on the bright side of the planet and the ones seem okish surface, When you pick one and if you notice its in a canyon or in a deep hole, just pass to another one, dont try to fight rough terrain.

[@noodlefoo]

Totally agree. Try to avoid night time and rough mountain terrain sites.

[@markzambelli]

Sage advice indeed. 4 of my 6 sites were on the flat (Biological Signal (2) on HIP 36601 C 3 b was particularly lovely if you like pancakes for their 2dimensionality (wink) ) but Biological Signal (4) on Outotz LS-K d8-3 B 5 a was on the side of a central peak so on a hefty incline, fun though.

[@mrexists5400]

there is a double overlapped void opal hot spot in the outer ring of HIP 36601 C 5 with an alexandrite hot spot overlapping with both those, so if you want to core mine with people while others are getting the engineering mats, you can do that

Unfortunately on the Xbox (maybe other platforms too) there is a bug where over 50% of the time you shoot a shard, it spawns a 3-pointed object that falls through the ground.

I got closer, around some emptier space, closer yet, and then from a system just ~150 ly away the route plotter found a 16 jump path, way around and through a nearby's white dwarf jet boost. Overall it took me ~35 jumps to eventually get there. Next trip was on a Krait P. with 55.7 ly jump range. Same distance took 11 jumps in a straight line.

A question. Are your videos speeded up in places? I can't drive an SRV anything like as fast as that and I didn't even see you scooping up crystals. I've noticed a few estimates of time to collect materials seem 'optimistic' to say the least. It takes me probably 45 -60 minutes to collect a load of materials like that. Same with mining. Deep core diamonds if I do 40-50 tons an hour that is good going. Perhaps I'm just slowing up in my old age?

[@bobbyvandyke6324]

I also think Scooping in the SRV is slightly frustrating and 20 minutes to fill up seems a bit generous. But you can get 150+ tons an hour mining LTD in the Borann System you just have to go cluster/core mining which ever you prefer to call it and you will have to get good at spotting these asteroids. They are easy to see if you fly a little above the asteroid field and use your pulse they will be the only small popcorn shaped asteroids and they will light up brighter than the others from far away you can spot them 10000 meters out or more with practice.

[@TheKermit2110]

Exegious did something similar Astro, but has yet been unable to find shards for selenium

[@Kaethena]

I don't think there are any because Selenium isn't classed by the game as a grade 4 or 5 raw material, even though it's classed as grade 4 by the material traders. It's still seen by the game as grade 2, since that's what it was originally when the materials came out with Horizons. FDev just overlooked updating the game when they brought out the material traders and re-jigged a lot of the classifications. Which means it's found through surface prospecting, or in competition with other grade 2 materials in Crystalline Fragments at Geological sites on a planet/moon with a % of it in its composition.

@@Chidar I forgot to mention: If I remember correctly, I actually did visit the system before I had over 35 LY jump range. I plotted a course to a random system near it and then plotted a new course from there. That worked and I was able to go there. Having more jump range just allows me to plot a course in one go, for some reason. Doesn't really make sense, but I am afraid 23 LY is probably still too short. You can get a ASP Explorer to about 35 LY without engineering, as far as I know. The Diamondback Explorer too, as far as I know. You just need to make them as light as possible. It might be possible with other ships too. I think the Type 6 transporter or the Hauler are known to get good jump ranges too, if equipped the right way.

Hi, I've just mapped Hip 36601 C1D , but there is no POI. Is this guide still valid? Thanks.

[@bauxite13]

If you're in live, you'll see blue patches in the surface of the planet once you've scanned it. Use [Q] and [E] in your surface scanner to cycle to 'crystal shards', then try and head to the greenish patches that appear within the blue patches (might be a bit hard to see) land there and you should see crystals. Hope this helps. Safe travels commander o7

[@Frilson]

they got rid of them with odyssey

[@The-Man-On-The-Mountain]

A good guide if you really need it. But that rough terrain, the low gravity, to shoot from the turret YES or YES, the chunks get untargeted when you shoot at them and they go up and up and up and up, and the unplayable frame rate at those crystal shards sites in a regular PS4, makes it a huge pain in the A. I went twice and no more.

[@PhilHibbs]

Is this still valid? No bio signals showing up on a scan of C 3 b. Just minor wreckage and distress beacons on C 1 d.

[@PhilHibbs]

Ah, updated video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/epy6f5Kfi5qrpLM

[@theplague4u]

New player here, are these site still providing decent mats? HIP 36601 - C 3 b - Tellurium I'm needing 26 tellurium.

[@tslay7928]

This is excellent! Thanks!

[@BigSupes81]

Great video as always. FYI, we really need a definitive technique for pharmaceutical isolators. On your spreadsheet it says high grade signal sources, but I've scanned around 20 and haven't found any. 🤷‍♂️

[@endoblader]

Have you tried the material finder on EDtutorials? I know it's not guaranteed for Pharmas but it's worth a go!

[@BigSupes81]

@@endoblader haven't tried, but will take a look. Cheers

[@blemat]

You need to search Outbreak state HGEs for PIs (preferably in systems that are not controlled by empire or fed). I usually filter the map for high population outbreak systems and jump between those (stopping by boom systems en route if necessary and picking up other HGEs for cross trading and lightweighting).

[@HawkesGaming]

Your best bet is to just farm in a boom system for that grade 5 only one jump away from the material trader then trade 100 for 16. You can get 16 isolators every 20 minutes.

[@califax007]

System: KAPPA-1 VOLANTIS (385ly from Jameson Memorial) Planet: B 3 F A POI: (14) BIOLOGICAL (Brain Trees) [~25 Spawns, ~5 (3x) Selenium per POI] better for selenium

[@quatchkopf3658]

Very good alternative and nowhere near as far.

[@killerdubber]

I'm out there now. Seeing all that black gives me anxiety. Lol. It's definitely out there.

[@sausageslaps]

so there is a selenium site? not shards but a site, how plentiful is selenium at that site?

[@Vickal89]

It is pretty RNG. They only spawn in specific crystal fragments (other stuff yield lower grade stuff) - and they get mixed up with Arsen and Zirconium. But well it's better than nothing. I visited 3 Geological sites and got 30 Selenium.

[@Illvester42]

saved and bookmarked, cheers! o7

Hello🙋‍♂️ is that metod still working?? If i relog material will not respawn 🤷‍♂️ is it updated??

yes, tested today

You forgot to mention it a bitch to shoot them shards off the crystalline structures.

Is this not broken on pc like it is onconsole ? I went a few days ago and almost every material fell through the map

Does this work now that biological sites have turned into biomes?

Im told they are no longer on odyessey

[@flyinion]

Doing it right now, you just have to launch as Horizons instead first before you land.

[@technoviking2415]

@@flyinion so you load horizons then swap back?

[@flyinion]

@@technoviking2415 you load into horizons and do the mining then yes after you’re done you can swap back into Odyssey.

HIP 36601 - C 4 A - Selenium is horrible place for selenium wouldn't recommend

[@markbrackenbury5699]

Alot of sites are really uneven has anyone got biological sites that are relatively flat?

[@Cohen.the.Worrier]

Updated guide: kzbin.info/www/bejne/epy6f5Kfi5qrpLM

[@dominiquecamus8488]

All of these (biological) sites are "interesting" (insane), except HIP 36601 C1D for Ruthenium (not tested yet), tested couple of days ago X-mas 2020 (in particular Technetium - needed to unlock shock cannons, human technologies) but until they're nerfed one of these day by Frontier Dev...

[@sequoia1171]

Ya the ruthenium planet is just like the other ones, plenty of mats

wish i could mine from my ship. the srv feels so terrible to drive

[@fuzzythoughts8020]

Why the hell these are biological is absolutely beyond me, but either way I'm one step closer to a full material inventory with this information.

[@lordonyx8266]

What's a fule scoop

[@vadicus-tcp]

Selenium sucks the big one. Ridiculous grind to get that stuff.

[@campbecd]

You shouldn't recommend the Selenium planet. Most of the geological sites float in the air due to the craggy/canyony surface. What a total waste of time, like an hour and 33% off my hull, as well as a ship I had to recall 5 times for one pickup to get like 3 or 4 pieces of Selenium. The rest of the video is fine, great even, but there has to be a better place for Selenium than that shithole of a planet.

[@SifArtorias]

Yeah I just go back and trade for selenium

[@Sir-Complains-a-Lot]

This is ruined for Odessey owners!! still works on horizons accounts...

Thank you for telling me these were biological lol I have been doing geological and getting annoyed there was so little lol

that's hilarious, that's exactly what happened to me. I assumed because it was crystal formations it was going to be geological and when I showed up there it was under whelming to say the least

[@exaelitus8794]

Not everyone wants to waste 60 days to get mats to upgrade a digital ship that isn't even real. :D I hate shit that makes you farm for a year just so you can stand your ground against your average joe in the game. Maybe you don't have anything important in your life to go back to but some of us do. :) Maybe you should go out and try smelling the out doors every few hours instead of hiding in your mom's basement farming things in games for days for just 1 material and calling it fun and exciting.

[@exaelitus8794]

Damn right if I could just hit a button and upgrade my ship and explore and fight people I'd totally do it. :)
