It's actually a bit more complicated. For a chance for a core a couple of criteria should be met:
That's basically all i know about core mining for now, my xp is somewhere in 3-digit tons mined range, so quuite modest. Others will maybe correct or point to a guide.
- roid is of right shape, there're specific core-enabled roids shapes, forum search should bring you pictures (otherwise interrnet search);
- roid is rightly glowing (i never rly understood that) - per my feeling it's like more yellowish, i think you learn it with time just as recognizing shapes from different angles;
- roid got never blown this tick, if someone mined core, then you can come back next week.

I should've said Gold really. Yellow and Red linesgive the overall effect. I'm now getting Glowing roids that are actually depleted because I mined them earlier!
To paraphrase Cmdr Wolfzx12r
Bllcks!
Well, I recognised two of those acts...
That's your Friday night sorted then? I've heard good things of Yungblud, but I've never heard them. Hope they're doing BBC4 coverage, but not looking forward to some TV presenter waffling away in wellies.
My feeling about how they look colour wise is that it is very heavily influenced by your graphics settings and capabilities so it is best to learn how they appear to you on your system rather than take any guide as gospel.
With my current system and in Horizons I have the PWS fire button locked down so it goes off like a movie sonar sweep and night vision on, then I head for the brightest yellow glowing rocks that look about right shapewise. As I approach the core rocks tend to fill up with black lines and pixels sometimes with red or green tinges, it is quite distinctive.
I thought I was getting old and out of touch (of course I actually am) then remembered this was the John Peel stage I am not sure I ever recognised more than a handful of acts he would showcase.
PWS shows roid targets
Then when you get there...
Then when you get there...
Now that doesn't look like how my system showed cores, those bright lines on the rock would be tending to be dark and filling it more and more with each scan as I closed in.
I'm not particularly looking for cores, but it's fun when I do. But if I'm in a LTD hotspot, I'd expect the PWS to show me where to head for the good stuff.
There is no black grid shown on the bright yellow - orange glow so it's not the core asteroid you are looking for. You can also see fissures when you get close using night vision.
There are a lot of glowing rocks, and not so many that also have the black grid effect.
Even in the bubble there are those intermediate systems with 5 to 10 planets but no population.
In one system Yuri, sergi, and Anya klemkan each have first footfall on a planet. Some with atmosphere.
Can be found by doing those small range multiple jumps to your destination.
A couple of "fixes" ago, the PWS showed any rocks that were mineable using the "new" mining tools - surface, subsurface and core deposits. I think that is again the case. And unless this changed, your roid has the wrong shape for an ice core. Back in the time, when LTDs still were top earners, ice cores had a distinctive "popcorn" shape.
Found a picture - can't insert it on mobile so here's the link to Reddit

Ok, that seemed to work - top line.

It just shows if it contains surface, sub-surface or core deposits (as @Ashnak says), it has nowt to do with proportion of hotspot or other "desired" minerals. As others have said, shape is good guide for cores but nothing other than RNG applies when looking for specific stuff, albeit supposedly higher σ in hotspots.

Beeb has coverage of live sets from all five main stages plus their own BBC Music Introducing stage - all TV channels carry some, iPlayer has all of those. (Plus it seems only Saturday for some rain.)
I also listen to Worthy FM online (https://www.worthyfm.com/#listenlive) since I am not able to go in person, it feels like you are more connected. Sad really but Glasto is my annual "me-time".
That's two more than I recognize.
Pulse wave analyser is only of use for core mining in the end. LTD means you are laser mining, and the best advice I can give for that is, find a good platinum hotspot and laser mine this for best profit per hour. The price per ton is usually less than LTD but you can mine it faster as it's more abundant.
Hmmm, after rail gunz, I have revisited PAs~! But I still suckz at it
So, I'm moving 4x rails to my wreck'em conda to have a test. TTK from railz can never beat the Lazor MC combo, I just want to see how they perform on conda.
Watching a video of 8x rail conda, really hate the heats.

Well, you can laser mine LTDs, but you can also get them from cores.
LTD stands for Low Temperature Diamonds, just for anyone reading along who didn't know.

It might not be the most efficient build in terms of TTK, but it's great fun.
