Hey all,
Well, it's finally come to this, it was inevitable though I've not been looking forward to it. I need to grind some classic (space ship) Engineering materials.
I gather all I can during my regular gameplay activities, so Manufactured from ship destruction, data from ship scans. I top up on what I can, then do a little material trading (the wrong way, low-tier traded in for higher-tier stuff) but there are still things I've become rather short of, namely Raw Materials such as Selenium and the like. My regular activities don't include anything that grant me Raw Materials as I've not mined in a while now, and am not particularly keen to go back to it at this time.
Over the years, I've bookmarked numerous sites that were good for getting the various Raw Materials and had visited them a number of times, prior to Odyssey. Now I play exclusively in Odyssey - I've had weird goings on when I switched between the two - and was wondering if there are any good guides out there. I have of course attempted to search for guides on Material Gathering in Odyssey, but they've focused on the materials needed for on-foot things, like suits and weapons - something I have no interest in.
The issue is, from what I can see, is that locations that were good in Horizons for gathering a certain Raw Materials, don't work / have changed in Odyssey, one assumes due to the new planetary terrain generation. I did try to do some Raw material gathering last year in Odyssey, but there were numerous issues and bugs (scanner not working) making it a more frustrating experience than ever.
If anyone can share any tips, locations or guides on good places to gather the key high-tier Raw Materials, I'd be most grateful. I have tried going to the locations I used to, but had more luck picking a random nearby planet with the relevant Materials listed over going to the prior "best" locations. I'd be open to doing missions too, if any give Raw materials as a reward.
I admit, I've likely forgotten stuff regarding material gathering in general, my brain tends to blank out semi-traumatic grind experiences lol. I've also just come back to the game after a long break, so feeling a bit rusty in general.
Cheers.
