Got any Sally Lunns ?
Oh,quite important then.I shall keep an eye out, although it's going to be a while yet before i 'm in engineer territory again.
How very louche.You'll be lucky if you get one of Mr.Dibblers finest.If said tea cakes are encapsulating a juicy burger, smothered in my special chilli...
Yes please!
Ah, onna stick, wiv tubes an jiggle bits hopefully.
Mr. Dibbler is a creation of Terry Pratchet,a minor character in the discworld series,whose succulent comestibles are famed throughout the city of Ankh-Morpork.If you haven't tried Dibblers rat-on-a-stick,you haven't lived.If you have tried them,your chances of continuing to do so have diminished by a significant margin.
You can get them pretty cheap too although that's cutting my own throat.
Another item ticket on my ED bucket list: one of every ship ('cept the Cobra IV of course). A lot of hulls in storage so now I need to make more cash to fit them out
... I am wondering about mats....say germanium for example.... you can get it by shooting rocks, very slowly filling up your bucket, but will you also find larger amounts through mining, or are certain mats only available through mining and others only through shooting rocks. Hmmm ...get my drift? Is there something like a spreadsheet you would know that lists all mats and where to find them most likely?
Sorry if that's confusing.

Try finding a geological site. Look for planets with vulcanism and a high percentage of the raw you're after.
Edit: and don't forget the mat traders

A spreadsheet? No.
But:
But:
- you can get all raw materials from surface prospecting
- you can get low level raw materials from mining
- you can get all raw materials from geological or biological surface sites (including Barnacles)
- you can get high grade raw materials from crashed Anaconda sites (never tried this myself, I'd have to Google it)
- you can get the highest grade (only, but that's where the mat traders come in) raw materials from Crystalline Shards sites - Dharrch Streynjer has created a howto for this here. And if you ask in the Fighter Club thread, he might even schedule an outing (no promises though - unless you want to come to Colonia
)
Dunno how up to date this is...
Engineers - Elite Dangerous "Scavenger" A new DataBase of materials for engineers
Hello all CMDRs. Today is giving you a new expanded sheet with materials for engineers. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yo1iHP9KUXpoBaIzJsRsDxfAcQa7cBq0YUIFy3m2NII/edit?usp=sharing The sheet is updated and contains far more data than most websites. - Information on materials for...
Just to be clear - there are some elements (raw materials) that can only be mined from asteroids (lead, boron and rhenium). Of course you can trade for them.

I can smell a couple of painite runs coming up.
Mostly no.Morning...Wow!.... heaps of useful infos...
Thanks a lot folks! As for geo. sites: Once you have the list of geo.sites numbered from 1 ...to xx showing up in your panel, it doesn't matter which site you visit, or does it?
But note which ones you have visited as it takes several days at least for them to recover so if you drop back on one harvested recently you will be wasting your time.
In terms of mats, not really. They may have different vents/looks, and some may be more accessible than others (flat floor vs. on a cliff wall).
The other thing with geos is that the various clusters are in a more "concentrated: locale. You save quite a lot of mileage in just driving around a random planet... and time come to that.
While it's a cheap thrill to get a needle cluster for that G5 raw, one shouldn't overlook the piceous (sp?) cobbles as they yield basic building blocks.
Edit: and basic building blocks can equal SRV refuel/rearm/chassis repair because it lost integrity when you ran over that grain of sand.
