Mineral list at Engineer's bases?

[Angus]

I'm probably way out of date or something, but I just had need to find a planet where I could find Antimony at Didi vaterman's base, and the publication that used to have the info doesn't seem to be available. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

Orrere 2B ship is the quickest way I know of finding Antimony, if you're into that sort of thing.

Open the system map and look at the information for each landable body?

But that only shows when you've used a surface scanner on the planet in question.

Shortly after Engineers was released, they took pity on us, and patched the game so that one of the publications at an Engineers base would tell you where the nearest source of all the various minerals was. Has this been changed, and has it been replaced with another source of info?

Did they ditch the mineral location list at Enginneer's bases so as to encourage people to use the surface scanner or something?

I don't know but I was looking for the publication at an engineer last weekend and could not find it.

I just use EDDB. Nothing in-game is easier, that's for sure.

Just enter the mat you want, put in a 'reference system' (that means the system you're in at the moment), and click Find Bodies.

Then look for bodies that have a high percentage of what you want, close to where you are. You can sort by a column, just click the header.
