How to fill your boots with Raw Mats using Crystalline Shards
Some of us have discovered a new form of materials gathering that can, with a little effort, be used to gather every material needed to compeletely fill all of your raw materials bins.
I have decided to share that knowlege here with you all.
The first thing you need is to know where to find all this lovely stuff. so here is a chart of all the publicly known locations.
Crystalline Shards on the edge of the Sanguineous Rim region and in the Formadine Rift
The first thing you need, apart from a decent jump range, is a SRV bay.
The materials you will be gathering are only the ones obtainable from the Shards.
Do not concern yourself with the Pecious Cobbles as they don't have anything of value to this project and will waste your time.
Here is my suggested circuit for gathering the required materials.
At each location use your surface scanner to reveal all the POIs
The biological POIs are the ones you are interested in as they are the ones that have the Crystalline shards.
It's worth scanning the shards and cobbles with your Composition Scanner when you are closer to landing, as you will gain new materials discoveries.
You will need to use your night vision as you will eventually need to land on POIs on the dark side.
Make a note of each POI that you have visited as you will clean them out and they take weeks to regenerate.
Don't worry there's plenty of them.
Don't do this in a wing as there will not be enough to go around.
Part a.
1. Travel to HIP 36601 C 1 a and collect Polonium
2. Travel to HIP 36601 C 1 d and collect Ruthenium
3. Travel to HIP 36601 C 3 b and collect Tellurium
4. Travel to HIP 36601 C 5 a and collect Technetium
Thanks to Commander F4fred
Some easier to work sites for you
Hip 36601 C1A site 5 Polonium
Hip 36601 C1D site 3 Ruthenium
Hip 36601 C3B site 5 Tellurium
Hip 36601 C5A site 4 Technetium
And for those in Odyssey:
Props go to Commander aXeL for these co-ords.
HIP36601 C 1 a Polonium: -57.4599, 126.9543
HIP36601 C 1 d Ruthenium: -51.2639, 14.7291
HIP36601 C 3 b Telluruim: -17.6769, -55.1800
HIP36601 C 5 a Technetium: 3.5500, 111.5415
Outotz LS-K d8-3, B 5 a Yttrium: -1.9216 -145.7013
Outotz LS-K d8-3, B 5 c Antimony: -62.4905 80.2426
You will need this tool if you find it hard to follow co-ordinates.

Thank you CMDR Is Fat for the following advice:
Dont mess about shooting with the srv, get out and use your handgun, drop 10 -20 at a time jump in srv and collect, so much quicker and easier.
When each bin is filled (It takes 150 units per material) return to your favourite Materials Broker (The nearest may be Hinz Hub @Ngobe) and trade them down to fill as many low grade bins as you can.
Be aware that there's a bug where you can only load 100 of 100 units. If that happens board your ship and check your inventory. You will now see you have 100 of 150 units and can redeploy for the last 50 units.
Until Hinz Hub is repaired the nearest might well be the station given below:
Rinse and repeat till all the Mats below are full then you need to fill the Selenium bin as this is the only high grade material for which a shard has so far not been discovered.
This item alone will take two trips as the exchange rate is 6:1
Part b.
Follow the last trip with:
5.Travel to Outotz LS-K D8-3 B 5 c and collect Antimony
6.Travel to Outotz LS-K D8-3 B 5 a and collect Yttrium
Easier sites
Outotz LS-K D8-3 B5A Site 15 Yttrium
Outotz LS-K D8-3 B5C Site 3 Antimony
7. Go Home!
I have been told of a system where you can find high quantities of Selenium.
HIP 83204 3 B A
Sites 1, 2, 8 and 10 are easy to farm and fit an anaconda easily
Props go to Commander AltairRules for this discovery
If you get into serious bother and find you need a station to repair/restock.
The nearest is Flaming Star Logistics Centre at Flaming Star Sector LX-T b3-0
You may find that you need an extra trip if you are particulary low on basic materials but I completed the project with 4 round trips combining parts a&b.
It's possible that combining Parts a & b for all trips might be more efficient.
I'll let you work that one out.
