Hi, I am out there circling around 500LY from it but I cant seem to get route plotter to work. Assuming its jump range related? Anyone know whats the min jump capability required to get to this place for the crystal mining?
I think it is now time to tell you aboutflowers and beesplotting single jumps that are longer than the route plotter* uses, also jumponium.
* The route plotter uses your full fuel tank range for max range of any jumps along the route, you can jump slightly further with less fuel (down to one jump max fuel usage level) in the tank. Jumponium aka FSD injection synthesis can double the one jump range (smaller doses also available).
Exactly.Huh? I mean I can plot 1000+ LY routes no problem. Just not to HIP36601
This is one of the shard sites correct?
Go straight UP for 300-500 Ly first. Then plot again. There are locked sectors in the way.
Thanks, thats good to know, so my lame python with 25 should make it. I am ok to make a roundabout route anyway, part of the exploration part of the game.hardly.. more like 15-20. You need to travel further before stars get really sparse.
if you are this way inclined go to a mats trade broker 1st and set off from there
that way once you have harvested all the mats you need you can self destruct and instantly get to the trade broker, obviously will cost with rebuys
You get exploration ranking by selling the data.I am not sure if I can even make it there. I am just stumbling around and honking and sometimes playing with the FSS and surface scanner. I want to keep my exploration data for the explorer ranking though. If I cant make it there I'll just do the long trek to the nearest station to sell first.

Well, he is already inside the system so I interpreted his post as, none of the stars in his nav panel are jumpable out to.I think the guy on reddit also lacks plotting skills. Hip 36601 might be hard to plot to but star density is not a problem if you avoid the permit locked areas. Just go up first.
It is not like travelling the edge of the galaxy. Here is another topic with the same question trying to get and exact answer. I can tell you. There are more way to get to Rome and 'someguy' will find a different route which requires less range.

Anyone ever have trouble with route plotting out to HIP 36601? :: Elite Dangerous General Discussions
Its supposedly the place to go for crystalline shards, so I got all prepped for making the journey before suddenly finding out that I can't, apparently. My ship can jump 34ly...I don't see that I've got anything wrong in Galaxy Map... Is this a common issue, by chance? Does it matter that I've...steamcommunity.com
I am saying it again. It is because of several permit locked regions that plotting appears not possible.
Good luck and enjoy the view!

So my original question still stands, what is the min range needed? 40+ as suggested by Dommarraa I guess.
I got it, thanks. it was just the other suggestion of 15-20 that got me confused (and hopeful of a shorter link from rimwards, since I was out of the bubble near within few hundred LY of target when I first posted) On my way back to build another ship now.We showed in the OP's plea for help in another thread that with a jump range of 38.49 ly you can plot a route from the bubble to HIP 36601:

Right - no Crystalline Shard sites for Selenium - but there are several places around the Bubble with very high planetary % - and have geological sites (my favorite is LHS 417) Selenium Farming Sites: Body Distance From Star (LS) Good Geo-Site LHS 417 9 E A ~ 3760 Geological 23 Kangulu...forums.frontier.co.uk
