What's the highest content Polonium and Yttrium planets you've found?

[Col Frost]

I have a confession, I get a bit bored driving around in my SRV looking for Jumponium.

These are the best 2 planets I've found so far:

Polonium 1%

Yttrium 2.1%

Has anyone found higher content sites?

Thanks you lovely people

Highest Polonium I've seen is 1%, not sure about Yttrium; somewhere over 2%. Think there's a big database of these knocking about somewhere?

During DWE Cmdrs were keeping a trello database of mats...but that was before we knew %s. Not sure if that db is being updated with the new data.

1% polonium is pretty awesome!

You have EDDB - Elite: Dangerous Database, which allows you to search for bodies providing a certain material (even within range of your current position, so that is really nice), but it doesn't list the percentages contained on these systems. You can look up the material logs, and deduce a little about the available percentage based on these numbers. You also have the Elite: Dangerous Star Map, which can list you the Jumponium Rich Systems, a.k.a. The Galactic Highway (and if I may add, also the galactic by-way ), but again no numbers on the percentage there yet.

I think that the "monster sheet" could tell you a little more on percentages. You can read all about it (and about prospecting in general) in the [DISTANT WORLDS] Cartographic & Prospecting Public Service [NEW] thread.

I think it is just too soon for tools to utilize the percentage listing that is now available in-game.

Fly safe That you may find many a rock,

(Who thinks that a system with 1% Polonium is worth noting down <scrabbles in notebook/>)​

My best finds are

Yt - 2.2%
Nuemai PG-N c20-0 A 2

Po - 1.1%
Hypo Brou EQ-G d10-1 2
Sphaule KF-L d9-0 A 1

but they're all a bit far from the bubble to be of much use

 

[Krunchie]

2,4% Yttrium
1,2% Polonium.

 

[Edelgard von Rhein]

Two worlds near Jaques:
Eol Prou LW-L c8-16 1: Po (1.1%) This world is Po+4 ( https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...EOL-PROU-nebula-and-the-barnacle-hunt/page103 )
Eol Prou LW-L c8-127 A1: Y (2.1%)

 

[Valije]

Polonium 1.1%, Yttrium 2.4%

In the same system... and it is a green system. The bad news are it is in the Freckia sector.

 

[Aura Lorell]

These are the highest concentrations I've found so far. Terms are:

MR: Metal Rich
HMC: High Metal Content
RI: Rocky or Rocky-Ice

	MR	HMC	RI
Arsenic	2.6%	2.3%	2.6%
Cadmium	2.9%	1.9%	1.6%
Niobium	2.6%	1.6%	1.3%
Polonium	1.1%	0.7%	0.5%
Yttrium	2.2%	1.4%	1.1%

I don't record the specific planets because:

(a) I almost never go back the same route,
(b) They are usually several hundred or thousands Ly away from the bubble,
(c) The variations are usually within 0.2% below the maximum value.

I rather use the max values to decide if it's worth prospecting and I usually choose planets I can prospect more than one materials from the above list.

This, in combination with the planet type, is valuable knowledge! Thanks for sharing. Now I know what to aim for in my next prospecting / rock hunting run .

 

[Krunchie]

2,4% Yttrium
1,2% Polonium.

Here's the Polonium one, also has insane Cadmium (and Vanadium) and very good Niobium.

This is amazing, thanks for sharing

 

[Zieman]

One high Po content near the bubble:
HIP 60459 1 - 1.1%

One high Po content near the bubble:
HIP 60459 1 - 1.1%

Timbalderis is in the middle of the bubble and it has a planet with 1,1% Polonium. It's funny how you don't even need to scan those planets, percentages are there.

Thanks everyone for sharing. Knowledge is power

 

[Krunchie]

I just saw a planet with 2,5% Yttrium. Not interested in Y, but it may mean that there is also a planet with more then 1,2% Polonium...

 

[Col Frost]

Yay, just found this metal rich planet on the way back to the bubble from Jaques.

1.2% Polonium

within 5 minutes of landing I blasted an outcrop and got this
