How do you use the SVR Scarab to get minerals on a planet

Hi Commanders just want to ask any you guys... I need some minerals form planets and I forgot how to use the SVR Scarab need them for an engineer to improve my FSD Range... thanks Commanders. Commander Nettie out

Your Scarab scanner will show deposits in the lower half of the band - head towards these until the rock shows on the radar display, then as mentioned above, shoot & scoop 🙂

Upper half scanner blobs mean something man-made.
 
If you need raw materials (phosphorus, manganese, arsenic) for engineering your FSD, then you can collect them as described earlier. Meta-alloys for Felicity is little different.
 
Here's a handy website that shows you what the different surface features look (and sound) like on the scanner.


For minerals you want outcrops, meteorites, chondrites and mesosiderites. When you find the rock in question shoot it and then use the cargo scoop to collect the fragments.
