So are only these types of layout paths the ones you can get the MFE's from? For instance could I possible get MFE's from the L1L type or does it have to be the L1M type?
...
The reason I ask this is because I'm jumping from industrial system to industrial system looking at all the +, ++ and +++ bases and so far the only one that I've encountered an MFE at was the L1M base listed above. All the other various types not listed in this post have yielded nothing. So wasn't sure if it only works for the L1M in an industrial layout or if it's just a random thing and I just happened to luck out to get it from the L1M and not the L1L types?

[medium security] bases give MEF, [low security] do not. I focus on ++[medium security] bases because they are smaller than the large(+++) bases and easier to scan.

Oh, if you were wondering what the different parts of L1M mean. It means: Large(+++) size settlement, type 1, medium security level.

It feels less grindy if I just come into a system, have a look and if I see medium sec bases I go and scan them before leaving.

Thanks for the explanation and will skip the + ones then and just focus on ++ or maybe +++ if they don't have a complete base perimeter...

you guys can add to the list
- 63 chi leonis
- daimonds claim
- medium ++

just been there and got 3 pieces
relative easy scan when you start on 1 of the top decks then 2 in the midle yard then 2 on the other upper deck
then jump of go around the first upper deck to find the last one outside

Settlement types/layout info

Where do I find information about the settlement type or layout in-game? Is this purely a visual thing or does it actually say somewhere that it is Industrial, Exploration , Scientific, Military, Refinery or a Civilian?

I´ve searched in-game for these definitions but can´t find it, so I was hoping someone could explain this to me please.

Ugh....scanned 4 med security settlements now. I need CIF, so of course all I get is MEF....bunches of it. Sometimes I think the RNG keeps track of the last engineer blueprint you looked up and were missing something and then denies it to you.

I don't need CIF, have been looking for MEF for last 2 days..24 CIF, 0 MEF : D

So... what does it mean if you scan the points and get no data whatsoever? Expected due to low drop rates of everything? None of the data points were compromised.

That usually means your data storage is full and you already have 500 units of data. This can happen rather quickly since each data counts as 3X units in inventory so you can fill it up faster than you might expect. Although you get a notification in your ship if you scan another ship and your data storage is full, this doesn't seem to happen at all in the SRV. It just doesn't give you any data or any warning message that your data inventory is full. Just throw out the large quantities of low-grade data you've accumulated and the data point scans should be giving you data again.

Question. So I did all the ones on the list about 2 weeks back and got my MFE's. Now I need some more and the data points haven't reset yet. So I need to find alternative locations (not on the list).

So I forgot, how do I find the medium security bases again? Does that mean they are located in Medium security systems that I can search for by filtering Medium Security? Or is it something where the system security doesn't reflect each base and the only way to know a base's security level is by actually flying to the system and then looking in the Target Menu to see it's individual security level?

I am hoping I can search for viable bases in advance before flying to them as I've heard that people have been getting them from + and ++ Med Security bases as well...

No, it is not related to system security level. You have to be in system to see the security level from the nav panel. Medium security settlements are relatively common. Just be aware that you can't freely scan the small S1 settlements, or the large military bases, even though they are medium security.
There are however many more identified settlements than in the initial post in this thread.
http://edtools.ddns.net/settl.php?s=LHS+20&nt=on
shows the low and medium security ones. It would take a long time to go through them all.

Thanks for that. And last night I actually decided to figure out it and found that I couldn't see the security level by the Galaxy Map and filtering out by Medium Security systems didn't mean anything for the settlement types as I was finding High Security settlements in Low Security systems and such.

So instead I just set up the filter for just "Industrial" systems and choose a direction (say to California Nebula) as a marker so I don't accidentally back track and then look at the 1 jump systems from me with a decent population and then look to see if there are any landable moons. If there are only like 1 or 2, I check to see if there are any with the +, ++ or +++. If so I just jump there and see their security levels, if Medium I check them out, if not I repeat. Larger systems with many landable moons I just jump there instead and then look in the Nav Panel.

And yes I found that the S1's has the perimeters around them. Though I can only see that when I'm already near the base flying in. Any way of knowing the base type before getting a visual and saving having to do the planetary landing? Or do you just have to physically see the base with your eyes and then if it's an S1, just leave without landing?

But good to know I can find them at Medium size bases as I originally thought I could only get them at the large ones as in the original list here...

No way to tell beforehand, except for vague hints from the name.
S1 are the most common type of small base too, so I sometimes skip approaching small settlements entirely. I'm pretty sure all medium size (med security) settlements have no perimeter. If CMDR DJA was around he could say for sure.
There is CMDR NeoTron's tool for generating loop scanning routes that was linked here back in February. Check that out.

Oh yeah I have http://edtools.ddns.net/settl.php?s=LHS+20&nt=on bookmarked and written down to use. I forgot about that. That will be the most useful then to weed out the S1M type bases I can't scan before getting there. Thanks for the reminder.

Though these show all the planetary settlements and not just the ones in Industrial systems. Aren't the MFE's usually only found in Industrial settlements and not any other economies? Or is that just a myth?

Plus it seems to miss a lot of systems that have bases too. I checked known locations where MFE's have been found by me or others and the site isn't even displaying many of the systems at all...

So in case anyones interested based here is a decent (not sure if best or not) pathing of all the locations in OP's thread. Should make planning your route easier so you don't have to be jumping 100 ly then 100 ly back and so forth.

Hi there @Devari, in the spreadsheet theres a error in the naming of an Settlement. :p

M5H | HIP 24968 | xxxxxxx | Chinton's Inheritance

It's

M5H | HIP 24968 | A 4 | Crichoton's Inheritance
