How to Farm RAW Materials in Elite Dangerous the quick and easy way tutorial

[@tituspowell]

I've played Elite for 3000 hours and there was a ton of things here I didn't know. Thank you!

[@noahprice371]

Just about every elite video I watch I learn something new that I didn’t necessarily expect to learn from the video. Such a nuanced game, part of its charm for sure.

[@darthjazzhands4363]

Same. I never knew about trading down from right to left. I feel like a dope.

[@PhrontDoor]

Sure, this was really informative. But I particularly enjoyed around 11:04 when you came clean about getting all the way there and had forgotten to get limpets :) The candor was wonderful. We'd all been there.

[@ChrisM541]

Damn, that's a hell of an improvement over the usual method! Really appreciate this, cheers!

[@marsluco1917]

Ooh, remote flak, what's that? Has it been that long since I've been in-game?

[@bunker1213]

[@StevenHandDH]

Reduce your render distance in the GFX settings I head to around 500m to render out and allow my limpets to get to work care free. Also, If you have limpets that pick up anything and get jammed. Get low to the floor and destroy them to reset

[@AtlasRandGaming]

They will also blow up if you go out of their range higher.

[@beMUSICaI]

That is the best method by far. Whoever invented this is a gaming genious.

[@davidtrenbath4516]

This is the best thing I have seen all day. Thank you Sir

[@AtlasRandGaming]

@@davidtrenbath4516 subs encouraged😉

[@supaflex2857]

Dude you're earnt a sub. Great vid 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@irsissz]

Nice video, Ideal distance is usually around 1.10 - 1.20 KM away you will notice the targets no longer render.

[@AtlasRandGaming]

yup that's what I see as well... but I think people with lower graphic settings actually have lower distance they can use.

[@StephenPierceT13]

work in the same row as much as possible, then coss trade between rows to max out.

[@lolmate2224]

If you turn your draw distance down you can use a 3a limpet controller.

[@AtlasRandGaming]

@@lolmate2224 you know I tried this but still had limpets during. I’d rather go up to 1.1km in the extra 5 sec that takes. But if that work for you stay lower.

[@adamdiebold6412]

I got a ton of mats by killing Goids (interceptor contracts always have a G5 alternate payoff) but they rarely include raw mats...

[@kirkstephenson4727]

Thanks. Just visiting these in the Mandalay to see which are suitable distances (some are too far from the parent star for the Conda) Still got plenty of raws though 👍

[@AtlasRandGaming]

Mandalay is great for this.

[@Igeltod]

It totally also works with class3 limpet controllers if you have your graphic settings at the lowest like me. particular y the render distance. i only have to be up 500-600m above the ground at minimum but i usually stay at about 800m. i dont have a gpu so im forced to play like that.

[@AlexBehemot]

Actually, if you do the same thing on the crash Anaconda, you can max like 6 or 7 materials at the same time, I belive 4 G4 and 2 G3, so is not necesary to do this with all G4 raw, just with the ones that aren't on the Anaconda.

[@AtlasRandGaming]

I don't log out to collect all of them in this way. But you should test and make sure that works and let us know how long it took.

[@AlexBehemot]

@@AtlasRandGaming Obviously you have to do the trick of collecting everything, log out and log in, but this is much more efficient for fill in less time what is Ruthenium, Antimony, Tungsten, Zirconium and Tellurium, I don't remember if there is anything else, before it were very few, but since they improved the amount of material on the site, as with High Grade Emissions, it is quite efficient, you simply position yourself at about 300m, launch a few missiles or mines or any explosive and see how most of the containers release the materials, put the ship in 1.2km and you simply let the drones do their work for a couple of minutes, log out and log in, and in a short time you have these materials full and additionally you earn a few credits with the gold containers and others that are on the site🤑, then for the Selenium and the rest that are missing (I think another 2 or 3, I don't remember anymore 😅), you use your method, which without a doubt is quite efficient than going out with the VRS and collecting them one by one. Anyway, just adding a little to help with collection, which without a doubt is one of the most exhausting things in the game😮‍💨. On the other hand, I think that the list that we need the most is for the encoded materials, honestly I only find G5 on the Jameson crash site, so it has always been the most complicated part, at least for me😑.

[@cetifoxproductions]

Is there a version of that list that covers the Colonia region? Otherwise, I'd have to travel to the Bubble to take advantage of that. I'd rather stick to my neighborhood.

[@AtlasRandGaming]

@@cetifoxproductions I don’t have any locations up there if you find any post here for everyone else. Process should be the same.

[@bob23301]

I have played this game since 2021, and all i have done is make deliveries, never knew about any of this and have never fired a shot as i am unsure how to use weapons in the game. Lol

[@HSkraekelig]

Same. Elite trader. Never fired a shot in anger:)

[@JOHN_WICK_IS_SICK]

is there a commonality between these planets that have good amounts of brain trees and crystals? trying to find some more of these a bit closer and spending a lot of time flying around planets without much luck

[@AtlasRandGaming]

Yes they all have similarities. In lore the Guardians planted the grain trees, so all planets with brain trees are close to Guardian ruins. Google it to be sure but I think it's always metalic planets with Amonia-carbon dioxide or similar atmospheres. Can't recall off top of my head. Canonn research has a ton of data on these.

[@shoot1968]

Hi, play on and off on my PS4, obviously the game on PS4 didn't get all the new add ons etc. i think im game version 1.7. Would anyone know if this works for yhe PS4 game or any hints and tips for collecting raw materials on this platform. Loved the video by the way 👍

[@Brandon_J]

I'm pretty sure it does work but I don't remember if these geological sites were in Horizons or not. If you find geo sites like these sometimes, then yes it should work. Although if one of the planets has an atmosphere, possibly not.

[@bjordan429]

Wait...how did you get the blue mapping? I've scanned planets before and never seen that. Were the fragment cannons just a preference, or do dumbfire missiles work fine as well? Correction.....im dumb about the blue part.....i usually dont leave scan mlde on. Lol

[@AtlasRandGaming]

They work well because the splash damage is a large area. Larger than drumfires.

[@spartakos3178]

What do you think about just farming the t5 and trading down to fill up the rest? Then going out and filling up t5 again?

[@AtlasRandGaming]

Well Raw has only 4... and that is what I'm usually do... just farm the 4 and trade down. But sometime you get lower classes randomly as well.

[@SuryaKumaran11]

Can anyone share the location and coordinate for each location

[@AtlasRandGaming]

[@trentnert]

Been using a dolphin for my exploration/material gathering pursuits lately…is there a weapon I can use for this that is size 1 slot?

[@AtlasRandGaming]

No unfortunately these come inly in size 2. The Mandalay is a geat ship for long range and can hold a few of these.

[@mars449tearful6]

This is NOT the fastest or easiest way to get raw mats. The crashed anaconda at Kolii Discii has grade 4 mats all day long and its withen the bubble. Especially now, there used to be 3 crates with grade 4 mata now there are 20. you can hover over the ship, blast the crates with a flak launcher and shoot out limpets to rake them in. If you dont have a flak launcher you can use your srv to blast open the crates. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zp2aqHuNj9R9qK8

[@AtlasRandGaming]

Some of us don't want to log off and on all day... hated that in the past and now we don't need to do the logging to get everything much faster... but hey you do you if that's what you like.

[@mars449tearful6]

@@AtlasRandGaming I would rather log in and out 3 times ( now with the new engineering) and be done than make 3 carrier jumps sometimes 1 hour per jump. by the time you get there i will be full, gone to the material trader and on to something else. but if you want to spend 3 or 4 hours doing something you can do in 30 min you go ahead.

[@420inportland]

The audio is having serious issues around the 4min mark, is it on my end or the video ? It was informative though so thanks for the tutorial, cheers!

[@AtlasRandGaming]

Its the video... I'll probably redo it in the next couple weeks... Was using my headset Mic instead of my real mic :)

[@yuxiliu]

Set the graphic quality to low then you can back off at about 650m instead of 1km

[@AtlasRandGaming]

@@yuxiliu I don’t get why? There is no benifit to being at 650 vs 1000. It’s 3 extra seconds in the ship and why would I want to be changing strings every time? I like having ultra setting.

[@nCubed21]

@@AtlasRandGaming travel time for the limpets predominately. sub 35m ships dont have the luxury of excess grade 5 module slots either.

[@yummyzerg]

You have a carrier after 2 months? Wow, you must love this game. I've had my account since Beta and I'm not even close to a carrier.

[@AtlasRandGaming]

@@yummyzerg you can get a carrier in a week if you just scan biologicals and do nothing else. Keep in mind this was a new account, not my first accost. First account carrier was bought with mining money when carriers released.

[@methamphetamememcmeth3422]

You missed out on the tritium rush it seems. However, I did have an engineered cutter by then. But seeing that you were playing since beta I don't know why you didn't.

[@AtlasRandGaming]

how did you crash your ship when I told you to stay 1km up? lol

[@zinta1]

@@AtlasRandGaming you have to get close to even SEE them... they don't render at 1 km.. so you get close to see them.. and when you back up they go away... so you have to guess where they are and FIRE the flak cannon and it goes all crazy.. then the limpets just die over and over and over... I have no ideal why.. I'm at the right distance etc.. then I go down to see the brain trees again and my ship just slams into the ground.. tried to reverse but was going to fast.. Made me so mad.. I just landed and did it the old way with my SRV

[@AtlasRandGaming]

@ you can shoot flack when close. Just don’t let limpets out till 1km :). Also don’t crash!

[@zinta1]

@@AtlasRandGaming I'm using an ASP it is the only ship I have that can accommodate class 2 flak launchers... When you get close to the brain trees and fire I get a warning that I am receiving damage. Also.. when you move in nose down the freaking ASP doesn't want to stop... even if you try backing up it keeps going into the planet

[@AtlasRandGaming]

@@zinta1 you are likely on a high gravity planner. But yes some ships hold position better than others. You wing get any damage if you shoot from 500m up. It only takes 1 or 2 shots. If you want feel free to send me friends invite and I can meet up with you and show you what you need to change for it to work.

[@brianklein8891]

Again all of these 'tutorials' talk about how to get the stuff, but start with 'flack cannon' and noone explains what or where to get that; to a beginner, this video does no good. Every video I've run across is absolutely no good, especially when out the door, they start with some mechanic in game, a beginner has no clue where to go or what to do to get this. I'm guessing this is for seasoned players, but it is under 'new players' in the description.

[@AtlasRandGaming]

@@brianklein8891 good call… beginner probably does not know you can buy different weapons in game in different locations. Like the flack launcher elite-dangerous.fandom.com/wiki/Remote_Release_Flak_Launcher can be bought at several hundred locations these being the closest inara.cz/elite/nearest-outfitting/?formbrief=1&pa3%5B%5D=121898&ps1=Sol&pi18=0&pi19=0&pi17=0&pi14=0 I probably should do an absolute beginner video showing where to find resources for additional information.

[@brianklein8891]

@@AtlasRandGaming Honestly, just a nice, beginner tutorial, explaining the who, what, when, where, and whys - basically the ABCs, for instance, why we want to mine, trade, or bounty hunt (I dont know what I dont know, so if i am missing a pofession please make it.) preferably using a type - 8, stellar, because it is the one ship i got to help me start the game. Mostly walk through the ship explain what everything does and is, i know this video wouldn't be for everyone, but the space babies out there like myself could definately use the help. I got landing and taking off down. I got the jumping ect. Just a nice rounded video on the mechanics of the ship and why we want certian professions, i notice there is reputation ect, and in each section it is different. There is so much to take in, and most everyone who makes a video does it presuming we newbies in 2024 automatically know everything, the tutorials are crap. I know there are foot missions but just because of the 1 tutorial they gave. there is no explanation at all. I noticed there are ratings to bounty hunting pirates. 0 - 8 , at 4 i get my butt handed to me and dont know why. I have a type 8 - stellar, its not the best but i figured it would help me trade or something, but even that is so hard to get the hang of.. ANY help would be helpful.. most importantly follow KISS --- Keep It Simple Stupid. I will even pay for this to be done.
