Ok. A post to get this watched and hope someone will put up a pic or video of what the right shaped metallic with fissures looks like.

A great starting miner, unfortunately only for strip mining, is the Dolphin. With 48 t cargo, 6 collectors, and still 125 ly range fully laden without engineering, it is surprisingly effective for Painite mining.

I have only found 4 of these and they all had only one other characteristic that doesn't always appear on the bright asteroids of the same shape. They all had surface deposits. None of the others that were bright and I prospected had surface deposits.
YMMV

June 19th, I just added Tritium, and removed the prices from the various gems since they're all over the place, amplified my advice on using trade tools instead.
Great guide but I have a question, can you go far enough out of the bubble that you are not bothered by pirates? If so roughly how far would you say was optimal?
Running a cutter with decent jump fully loaded (around 25 ish) and 576 tonnes with tools and scoop for a long run.

In the first part, yes. You soon get used to this, drop in, start mining straight away. When you get back to the bubble area, you suddenly remember when one drops in. As for the distance you need to be, no idea I'm afraid.
I found an answer of sorts to this tonight. I travelled around 400ly from Mabe, found an already discovered system, loads of rings, loads of hotspots, no pirates. I’ll be here a while.
Are mining hotspots broken in Odyssey? I've spent hours in a musgravite hotspot but not a single rock has it. Pristine ring.
It can only be found in cores so if you have not found a core asteroid with Musgravite then you need to try to find favour with the RNG gods, maybe jam a ladle or whisk in a drawer and make a plea to Anoia.
Good luck
Thanks, but shouldn't it tell me what is inside the rocks when I prospect them, on the contacts panel for deeper lodes? I haven't found any with a musgravite core. However, if it's not known to be broken, I'll have another look once I've finished my current activity (I've gone on to salvage for now).
Thanks. I'm trying to get 1 tonne of each commodity to sort out an issue with my Fleet Carrier showing too many exports. However some commodities are near-impossible to mine, it seems.
I have a similar problem with salvage! Some stuff just doesn't seem to appear.

Thanks for this. Something I've always wondered about but not had the time or skill to investigate.
Is this still relevant? It should have a sticky, like "The Popular Guide to Exploration" as mining is a complex but very useful activity to do.
