I was lucky I guess, landed in a crater, and the first thing I find is the Polonium. Wont get back to it till thursday though, have errands and work next 2 days to do.

I've been recording finds but not īn the detail listed in the first post. Do you still want the data ?

Sure, there's an option in the spreadsheet to record just if an element was present or not.
Yes please! All of it helps
If you're entering it in The Monster, for resource type select BINARY and use 1 if it has been found.
.
But please include the system/planetary data along with your findings as it helps with any search for correlations.

This list < https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...d7061UNAjslU/edit?pref=2&pli=1#gid=1249319491 > has all the current data sorted by WP....
Unfortunately, NGC 7822 is not one of the WP's or one which has been previously prospected... But it may give you an idea of what kind of planet to try in the area and it is Always good to have any results you happen to find

There's a new green system in the bubble, for those needing materials near home! Vucasto A2a and A4 have all elements between them.
It's all been added to the monster, but the prospecting so far is:
[A1(HMC): Mn, Zr, Germanium; Cadmium, Niobium; Sb]
[A2(HMC): Cr, Zn, Germanium; Mo, Sn; Sb]
[A2a(rocky): Cr, Mn, Vanadium; Hg, Cadmium; Polonium]
[A3(HMC): Mn, Zn, Germanium; Sn, Niobium; Te]
[A4(HMC): Mn, Arsenic, Germanium; Sn, Niobium; Yttrium]
[A5a(rocky): Cr, Germanium, Vanadium; Mo, W; Te]
Actually, since the system is already green between just two worlds, I'm not sure I have to prospect any more

It's nice when they go like that
Thank you for the inputs!!----
The choice is always yours... the only advice is not to get too burned out on it
Hah! I wondered the same thing. Coincidence? Hmmmm....
Does advanced Thargoid Technology make it possible to inject whole planets with certain compelling materials?
Why did we never see a Thargoid Ship even there are so many hints?
Intention?
Now hundreds of ships are going to gather at Beagle Point.
Does Beagle Point have only one exit?
I wanted to ask a thing about statistics. I am going to sample the density of MM's in different terrains. I'm thinking I should count the occurences along the line I'm driving then divide by the area covered by the wave-scanner over the distance driven to give me an estimate of the average density. I figure that this sample estimate of the density should be normally distributed as long as I have more than 30 samples of the mean density. Now my question. Would it be OK to say drive 20km within the same terrain and then say that that gives an estimate for the mean, then drive enother 20km and get another estimate of the mean and so on within the same terrain. If there is not enough terrain in that specific terrain region (assuming travelling in a straight line) then go to another terrain region and continue getting estimates of the mean. OR should I collect all the occurances into one estimate of the mean in one terrain region and then get another sample of the estimated mean by doing the same thing in another equivalent terrain region?

Welcome Back, BTW!!

That is a good question... Since most terrain does not extend to 20 Km (at least not in a straight line) figuring that component might be problematic.

The math to figure Km/degree is pretty straight forward (Methinks
.... based on radius of the body and the application of the Cartesian system on the sphere), so, perhaps using the starting and ending coordinates for the area traversed can get you a good approximation of distance traveled on the surface. This could be scaled for any distance used (as well as any planet size) and the number of mats/rock types found in that interval. This could also support either of the collection methods mentioned and allow for detailed analysis of any outliers from the mean. Every sample could be a separate data entry... change place = new sample set, Change instance = new sample set. That would give a way to put the data through the statistical ringer (so to speak) and would then be combinable to figure the means for each terrain type as well.-
We know that instancing changes the roll of the dice... and we know that moving into a new area (without re-instancing) also has similar effects on spawning. The underlying concentrations (or ranges of concentration) of materials and nodes seem to be pretty consistent, though... at least anecdotally. It would be good to nail that down

Premium Jumpomium / Pristine Metallic system on the edge of the bubble
First off. A big thank you to the creators of this thread. It has been an amazingly useful resource for me. I've done material collecting before but always in a haphazard manner.
This thread inspired me to do a survey of my home system on the edge of the bubble. And... It's green! All materials for all FSD boosts are present. In fact, only Technetium is not present in the system. Planet 7D has three materials for premium Jumpomium! I only did a simple survey of the presence of commons, rares, and very rares as there were 14 bodies to survey and it took ages. I have new found respect for the Rock Rats and Scientists.
HIP 43296 (system map is openly available for any scientists who might want more in depth data)
This a large population system (5 billion). High security, agricultural and industrial with a Federation controlling faction but outside of powerplay. It's rarely visited. I fly in open and never see a soul. I think it might be a useful system for explorers preparing for their next venture. If you want to take a break from materials collecting and make some credits there is a pristine metallic ring with a High Res and a Orbis Spaceport circling it that pays above average prices for metals and minerals. Other Res including a Haz (at 7) are available for bounty hunting. The planets also seem to be littered with gold canisters, I reckon I picked up well over a million credits worth of legal salvage as I was prospecting. Come and say hi! Although with all the Jumpomium mats I've collected I have an itch to go exploring so might not be around.

I recently came across this information and it's been extremely useful. I'm not part of DW, but some of the conclusion I've help. I always wondered if the location on the planet mattered. Now I know it does not.
Has there been a lot of prospecting done within the bubble and are certain materials easier to find outside the bubble as opposed to inside, say based on the distance from Sol? I'm trying stock up on Jumponium before going out on my next excursion and I have enough materials for 20 Standard and 40 Basic FSD boosts, but I have yet to find a single piece of Polonium for a Premium FSD boost (I'm hoping to get at least 10) even though I've collected 31 other 4L/VR materials in my travels.

Distance from Sol doesn't matter. Polonium is hard to find: I think I've found about 6 worlds out of 100 with Po.
Try HIP 15868 A 3, or Eta Draconis A 4. These are worlds with Po and As, in case you need that too. Or Harm A 1 has Po and Nb.

Hm, so far when I wanted to find tier 3 jump boost materials, (way, way out in the boonies, last time I went to prospect was some 55kly out) I'd just pick a system with loads of landables - usually a bunch of gas giants with a whole lot of moons made for good prospecting grounds. I found that as long as the system had loads of landables I'd usually find every jumponium ingredient in it eventually, though it sometimes took checking many moons to find Polonium and Yttrium eventually I'd find them.
If this principle doesn't work for others, then either I was lucky or the chance to find planets having Po/Y is a function of distance from the bubble. My sample size isn't good to make the estimate because I did this 3 times since Beagle Point and found all I needed each time - and each time in a rather large system with loads of landables. So my sample size isn't that great, and it's entirely possible I was lucky.

Forgive me if thus is answered, I have not read the whole thread.
I understand there will be new mats in 2.1
Will they be prospectable like the others?, and if so is the 3-2-1 rule affected?
If planets are reloaded with the new mats, and 3-2-1 still holds, will not this whole project be rendered obsolete?
Apologies also if these are dumb questions.
