*Meta-Alloy Locations Thread Database* [Alloys only]

This thread is a simpler Database for Harvesting Meta-Alloys [Only].
Picture Tutorial for "Meta-Alloys" & their locations.


[Note] Meta-Alloys are found with Barnacles [aka alien bio-organic mining vessels]
& they tend to spawn in the same location/crater spots/ and craters all have a "yellowish" tint.

[Special Note] Barnacle "patches" tend to also spawn in several different locations... in the same crater... in the same instance.

[Important Note: READ ALL
Updated: 8/29/2016]
Good news is you can now park your ship next to a Barnacle and continue to farm 2 Meta-Alloys every Log in/out without having to launch your ship!
Example: Land on planet -> SRV -> Barnacle farm -> Ship -> Login/out -> SRV etc... until full then lift off.

[Wingman Note] The more people in your wing... the more Meta-Alloys drop per Barnacle. Instead of 2 per cluster by yourself you can get 2-8 per cluster with wing-mates.



This thread will be periodically updated on this main post for immediate access to data.

Your post is awesome CMDR!!! Wish I could give you more rep...so far I have gotten 24t of Metal-Alloy ....only 3 time have I gone back to the Main Menu & then back to PRIVATE GROUP, after climbing to 3km, ...100% success so far following your steps exactly. :D

I think I miss the point but why do you recommend flying up 3km before relogging? Why not put the ship on the ground before relogging? Seems faster to me, just got to hop into the air and back down after relogging or your ship sinks into the ground preventing your SRV to drive from underneath it.
 
This was the route I was taking to collect the Meta-Alloys for each of those 5 barnacles...

Nice work PEREGRINUS, I was gonna post something simular.
My first few visits there only 3 spawned, the 2 close together and one to the right up in the shallow valley.

Couldn't belive it when I spotted all 5 in the dark!

Can't rep you for some reason....sorry old chap I tried, must be the Christmas rep thing still having an effect lol!

All the best,

What happened to the 3rd barnacle?!

I'm just teasing. Nice map though :)
crap :(
lol just noticed I skiped the #3 when numbering the barnacles...well I'm at work.
I'll fix it when I get home later :)

Thank you, I was just trying CMDR Mythre's guide and it worked :)
I did make a youtube video before I went to work but it for some reason uploaded in low quality (32 min video) 360 instead of 1080. So I didn't make the video public...just hid it in private lol
I left off at gathering 60t ...will try to put in afew more hours after work and before I have to go back to work /when the darn CG ends lol.
It does look really cool to see 3 of the barnacle sites lite up in the dark :D
Thanks for trying with rep lol no biggie :D just spreading info around to help out is all :)

If you Land your ship before your re-log you start 30km above the surface. but if your 2km (min) at least above the surface you re-log at 2km.
