PSA: Found a Germanium, Ruthenium and Niobium rich world JUST outside the bubble

[CoyoteXStarrk]

Not sure if this is the right section to share this, but I have found a world that is overflowing with Germanium, Ruthenium, and Niobium. I have only been driving for about an hour and have already found 21 Germanium, 13 Ruthenium, and 25 Niobium as well as a boatload of Mercury. Just nothing but Metallic Meteorites and Outcrops every few miles. I even found 6 occupied escape pods along the way. I could be just getting lucky, but I am never this lucky and I know Germanium can be a bit of a pain to farm sometimes so I thought I'd share in case it might help someone.

Works only in open... it's a trap

Nah, thx for the tip.
Nowadays I collect raws at the crystal needle sites, but that's quite a journey (2000+ LY), so it's always handy to have something closer at Hand.

Thanks for sharing!

As someone who only plays in solo it never occurred to me that this could be used as way to gank people lol



Everyone go in Solo Mode just to be safe.

/slightly offtopic:

there was a thread about someone in DW2 who was lured into open to a certain "discovery" by a known ganker and was subsequently ganked.
That reminded me, hence my comment

It isn't of course, but it made me chuckle...

Uh no. Escaping is not that hard.

Thanks for the tip +1

Yeah, but I prefer to not even take the risk of having to deal with griefers. Thats just me though.

I found 2 large planets, orbiting each other, 49ls from the star, with 20+ geological sites each, with Ruthenium dropping from every Needle Crystal.

Plus a load of other goodies.

I used EDDB to establish a list of planets which have Volcanism (and thus Geo' POI's) for guaranteed mat' supply, are all within a couple of jumps of Sol, are all within 1,000Ls of the jump-in point, all have decent terrain and all have somewhere near the highest concentrations of each element.

Minimally, you can just go to the planets that supply Antimony, Polonium, Ruthenium, Selenium, Technietium, Tellurium and Ytrium and then trade down for other mat's and collect a nice heap of G3/G4 mat's at the same time, while you're there.
