Every planet that I go to get mats has this Piceous Cobble garbage that drops level one crap. They have ruined the ability to find the Mats that are needed for ship engineering. what did FDEV think they are doing. This entire game has become one disappointment after another. They nerfed the Crystalline shards.. all they drop is level one crap. I go to planets that are labeled as having high amounts of important raw mats like Selenium, Ruthenium, even Mercury and almost NOTHING but Piceous Cobble dropping garbage level 1.. Iron, Carbon..etc. This takes a LOT of time chasing signals that turn out to be useless.. not only do you get Cobble or crystals that drop garbage but you get fake signals to heat stacks that do nothing... finding simple outcrops is almost impossible. WHY did they destroy this. HOW are we supposed to get the MATS we need. You can trade for level 5 MATS if you basically can only find level 1 garbage.
Piceous Cobble Garbage thanks for ruining this game

I'm sure it's just a bug. Have you tried reporting it?
Im sure they don't care... I've reported it.. when I found all the Crystal forest gone.. I don't think they care. If we reported every bug in this game there would be no time to do anything else.
Acknowledged bug - can't hurt to take five seconds and upvote it.
Oh, don't worry, should you find higher tier crystals, they'll drop g1 materials anyway. It's at least 25 to 1 ration going up a tier. And all cobble in an area drops the same material, too. If they're trying with the distribution from the planetary composition you will end up with a 1% chance for a g4 material. But they are still off by a mile. Expect lots of flying around if you want to gather materials from geological formations.
Speaking of geological formations, they should really create a POI like that for deep space to discover. In fact deep space needs their own set of POIs. Maybe even some unique POIs in certain quadrants. Now that they're easy to find, they need a lot more variety. And by a lot I mean at least 10 times, if not 100 times more variety.

Check out my post about this. Perhaps you can help debunk or confirm my theory.

What if the new planetery tech IS the engineering fix?
I was having the same experience as others have reported. Namely, I was finding only grade 1 materials on planets that should have a chance at rarer materials. Then I had a sudden theory. What if the new planetery tech IS the engineering fix? So I flew around the planet, the 4th planet of...
A) It's confirmed as a bug.
and
b) No the aren't, last time I went there they were all over the planet, you are just upset there are now no arrows pointing you to what to do.
Thankfully EDH still exists, at least you can log into it for Mats collection. o7
Please don't tell me they got borked in EDH too...
I think they have only acknowledged the bug report. It still has to be confirmed as a bug.
Do you have a link to a confirmed bug report? The one listed above has only reached the acknowledged level.
The Crystals when you find them.. ONLY drop level 1 crap... all of them drop the same thing in the same area.. go to a different area.. different level 1... Iron, etc.. IF you look at the make up of the planet...they should be high levels of Selenium on some.. tellurium on others.. even stuff like Mercury and Tungsten.. but nothing drops it.. you will play hell trying to even find an out crop. The radar points you constantly to more crystals and Cobbles.. sometimes heat stacks... basically all useless.
I specifically asked the question and here's confirmation:
Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Update 3
@sallymorganmoore THANK YOU! :) Love the new communication - got your work cut out a bit though!
Not yet. I took the opportunity and pitched it to Sally in the Update 3 thread where she was lurking and grabbing every single question and answered it.
I suggest everyone to take a look. It's a good read if you want answers for this and that and the other thing.
And that's how the "Thread" spillage began...
The great thread spillage of '21 - those were the days...
