Engineers How do I find Painite?

It's only about one in 30 rocks for me - so you may just need to hit more rocks per minute ;)

You can either use a speed oriented ship for that or many many active prospectors.
 
Yep, definitely trolling me!

Flew out to the belt last night and 3rd rock I hit was Painite - gave me 7 tons.
5 minutes later hit another one for 2 tons and half a refinery bin.

I then spent nearly an hour looking for another one so I could finish my 10 ton for Selene [where is it]
 
RNG gods smiling on me tonight. First rock I hit had 48% painite for 12t. was a very happy camper as i headed over to Selene!
 
I just went through the same process. I went through 130 limpets with the prospector to find the asteroids with it. Finally got the 10 that I needed for the Engineer. I went to a pristine metallic ring as mentioned by other posters. Just be patient and plan on going through a lot of prospector limpets.

Looks like that's the way. Will have to get around to it sometime.

OP, thanks for asking the question and posters, thanks for responding.
 
Yes painite is well named. It is there in pristine metallics but patience is required. Which is why I was gobsmacked to get 48% first up. I do a lot of mining and never been that lucky before and probably never will again!

With the right setup you can find those 10 tons within 10 minutes:

Extremely helpful!
Took me a single outing to get the ten shortly after this pic.
