Newcomer / Intro Guide to core mining ring type for different commodities?

[F4fred]

Now that it is worth mining things other than LTD, VO and Painite anyone got a link to a handy guide of where to find cores for the others like Serendebite, Musgravite and Benitoite? Tried the Wiki, Codex and the manual, but nothing useful.

Does this help?

I think that the Wiki list is a good indication of what rings for what commodity you want to mine. I'm not sure is there is a preference of one type for cores though other than that VO, LTD and Brom cores are only to be found in icy.

Miner

Miners extract metals, minerals, and materials from asteroids and sell them for profit. Mining involves traveling to sites such as pristine planetary rings, and asteroid belts around stars, identifying resource-rich asteroids, and using specialized Hardpoint modules to extract and collect...

... and this from an old Reddit (spit) post:

Ring Type	Unique Core Types	Old Mineral Cores
Icy	Void Opals	Low Temperature Diamonds, Bromellite
Rocky	None	None
Metal Rich	None	None
Metallic	None	Platinum, Painite
Common to All Ring Types	Alexandrite, Benitoite, Grandidierite, Monazite, Musgravite, Rhodplumsite, Serendibite

That reddit post is a bit out of date I think, most recent info I found says

Icy only - Void opals, LTD's, Brommellite, Grandiderite
Rocky only - Benitoite, Musgravite
Metallic/Metal rich only - Platinum, Painite, Rhodplumsite

All but Icy - Serenbidite, Monazite
All but Metallic - Alexandrite

Very simple schematic for what can be found where (thanks to cmdr GroG79 in another thread).

That is a very good find.

Here is a jpg of the table from that for anyone interested:

Understood, but it's better than having to work it out from scratch! I'm trying to minimize the grind as I only have limited hours to play, so people such as yourself & others before sharing information like that make a real difference, and have a direct positive impact upon my fun time, So thank you CMDR! o7
