In 2 separate Painite hotspots, 32 prospector limpets and exactly 0 asteroids with any Painite. Not low % painite, none, zip, 0, zilch. Is it me or is this broken?
What's up with mining?

Are you in a painite hotspot in a metallic ring rather than a metal rich ring?
Pristine reserves
Yes. So metal rich only then?
Actually no the other ring is Metallic, both hotspots were in a Metal Rich
No the issue there is that metal rich rings painite hotspots only have cores, not any laser mineable painite, so you'd be beating lottery odds if you happened to find one from just firing 32 random prospectors without also having used the PWA to identify rocks likely to have cores (or visually identified them by shape).
To answer your question simply, I'm not aware of any issues whatsover so I'm trying to think of any issues you may be having.
Edit: Just saw your edit and there's your answer. If you're laser mining painite, metallic rings hotspots only.
As Red says - laser mining painite is metallic, cores are metal rich.
Yeah just ignore metal-rich. The difference in metallic is huge. Like 75% of the rocks in metallic rings feels like they have the good stuff.
Glad they call them painite hotspots. Anyway 40 limpets later. Thanks for the info.
I just left a Painite hotspot 21k ly from the bubble and 250 limpets later not one painite rock, but I did get attacked by NPC so apparently NPC have special abilities to travel to deep space with short range ships.. Thumbs up to FDEV...
It's a hotspot for cores. It works like any other hotspot for cores, in that it has cores with the indicated resource. It doesn't have any laser mineable painite though because it's in a metal rich ring and there is no laser mineable painite in metal rich rings, nor has there ever been.
Read the thread past the first post.
How about you worry about yourself..
I don't need to worry, I'm doing fine with mining thanks. Just trying to help you out but it's fine, no skin off my nose.
You weren't trying to help anybody out M8, you were being sarcastic based on incorrect assumptions..
No, I made a couple of detailed posts to another player explaining the problem that he was having, which seems on the face of it as if it may well be the same problem that you're having. Then I attempted to direct you to the same advice because your post read as if you'd done exactly what the guy right before you did, rather than looking to see whether there could be another reason why you managed to fire 250 limpets off without finding any of the resource you were looking for.
But as I said, I'm done with this.
Exactly! Thus, it's a "Notspot" for Painite cores.
