Edit: not sure exactly what the problem was, but as suggested I reinstalled and it fixed itself.
I'm so fed up with this. I have everything I need for engineering high tiered enhancements but I still need fricken iron. EVERYONE says iron is the easiest thing to get blah blah. I've followed every tutorial for asteroid mining, pristine blah blah, icy blah blah, metallic, blah blah, metal rich blah blah. Used the lasers and every other mining tool. Some say use the refinery others say don't. Did everything I could for asteroid ming and ZERO yield in iron.
So I decided to finally give srv mining a go.
1. I cant use a scanner (all guides say assign it to a fire group. Duh did that)
2. I can't aim my turret.
I can only shoot directly in front of me.
3. I know what each sound and visual identification that shows up on the radar just under the targeting reticle on the other scanner looks and sounds like. Used different websites to identify the sounds and symbols
(1 & 3 was this changed in a recent update where the scanner is auto and there's no need to assign anything to a fire group?)
I see and hear there should be stuff near by. I can't find anything. Only these dumb little grey rocks. I've seen pics and videos of all sorts of differently colorer, textured, sized rocks people have been mining. I get zip nadda and zilch. I've tried (seriously) over 30 planets and drove around for hours. Nothing.
I've gone a head and mapped out planets and received notifications of specific things in specific spots and get beacons for where theyed be, as I've watched in other videos. I fly in, land, hop in my buggy and drive and guess what I find?
You guessed it. Nothing.
TL;DR
I'm on Xbox1 (the original 250g first generation) I've followed numerous text tutorials and video guides for asteroid basic mining and deep core mining, as well as srv surface mining. I just can't seem to get common or very common materials. In the srv I can't even find anything to mine. HALP!
