material gathering

I've been landing on a few planets now under the latest patch and I'm not getting any echo on my radar. Planets in the DSS are reported to have raw material but my SRV's scanner doesn't detect even the faintest echo of such material. So, is there a known bug about this?

Hi! Following the recent frontier live stream I was extremely disappointed to find that Odyssey on-foot engineering is being neglected, this grind is frankly very unfair and darn right impossible at times, in comparison the horizons ship grind is a walk in the park (I could have it done all the...

As someone who actually enjoys material farming to fund my engineering habit, i hope this may help others who dont! There are many posts about how hard this is, it really isnt, (well compared to getting an Epic in Everquest! This is my system, i have found this the easiest way. Once you have a...

Good Day CMDRs o7, I don't know if it's already been noticed or reported yet but I figured I'd go ahead and put it up here anyway. Myself and a few close friends have noticed some issues with collecting materials at Guardian sites (destroying a panel and a juicy Guardian Power Core or whatever...

Today I opened a ticked asking how to remove materials from my blacklist. I explained that i knew that you can just find the resources one by one and them un-blacklist it in the "contacts" tab. Since a lot of Materials are harder to find and you have no way to see if your blacklist is empty, you...

Is there any better alternatives to DAV's Hope for material? Since I have to farm materials for Slim Duck anyway, I have to experience alternatives to this location. BTW. I don't want to hear anything from Hot Jupiter or material dealer.

Grinding for materials in Colonia - sold 1 x Cocktail Recipe and 10 x Culinary Recipes to a bartender in the region (think it was not in Colonia itself) and got no invite from Rosa Dayette as expected. Should these mats have been sold in Colonia itself at Jaques Station or Colonia Hub? It isn't...

It has been a while since I have had to do the grind and it was pre-odyssey. I need to get a lot of high end materials for some ships I want to build. Are these techniques still viable: Raw Materials: HIP 36601 crystalline structure farming. Then use material traders to trade down...

Noob question. just started mining and starting to getting the hang of it, on the surface as well in flight. As for the last, when i’m mining an asteroid sometimes materials show up on the surface of the asteroid (i.e. nickel, chromium, iron, etc.) My question, how do i collect them? Collector...

Hello Commanders. I'm recently returning to the game after a VERY long hiatus. ED might have still been in beta when I last played. When I was last playing, as far as I'm aware, there were no engineers. Now, it seems to be all the rage. I'm following a guide to get the Engineering done...

Hello, I would like to buy Odyssey expansion but first I need to know if it is possible to farm ship engineering materials on foot and not only in the SRV. Do I have to upgrade my suit to be able to store the materials or can I go to the SRV and store them if my pilot inventory is full...

I've noticed at least two streamers who have worked their way past collecting any physical mats, and are now only interested in data ports. It's not Cat Media. It's Opinion Polls they want. One streamer does not even bother with missions. That streamer simply lands (a kind way of saying it)...

Two quick suggestions for combat in foot. 1. I think it would be logical to get materials for suits and weapons from the dead enemy and give a reason to take the risk. 2. Please can we have the times 3 on material finds to match ship materials

From what I researched, the general consensus to farming the 40 opinion polls required to unlock Kit Fowler is landing at tourism settlements, finding each habit port, and hoping it will appear. Then leave the settlement. Rinse and repeat. I was curious if the BGS would have an affect on the...

It is utterly ridiculous to assume that in this hypercapitalist future, if there are blackmarket-connected bartenders at every single station willing to buy Cat Media off of me, that there's nowhere I can go to buy circuit boards, optic fibre or elemental Arsenic. The idea that there's literally...

Greetings all!! Recently picked up ED again... it's ok, life in the bubble is still....meh..... So I'm headed back out to the black, and decided to swap out the AspX for a phantom, more importantly... THIS PHANTOM!!! (critique wanted) https://s.orbis.zone/5cr3 However, I only have a few...

I went out to gather all the top grade raw materials so that I have some to trade down at the material trader. Just realized how there is some kind of mix up for material grades. If you look up other sites like the Wiki or inara it shows only 4 grades for raw materials. Pretty sure it's like...

Hello there fellow Commanders! 07! I need your guidance and/or help. I currently own 37 ships in the game with over 2500+ hours of gameplay and I've decided that there is time to engineer all my ships. Engineering in ED is my last favour type of gameplay. OK maybe not engineering itself, but the...

Hello, commanders! I badly need yttrium to exchange it for vanadium via trader for refueling AFMU. The problem is that I am in Colonia now and planning to set off on a long journey soon. I tried collecting vanadium itself but it took about 4 hours for me to find about 15 lumps - 45 pieces...

I think making a system where you can brew alcohol in your ship and sell it to stations with demand for it would be a fun feature. Or better yet a whole crafting system that encompasses all sorts of craftable commodities you can then sell for profit. Stuff like harvesting gas clouds to make...
