Thanks for reporting back! Give the map a go and let me know if you have any questions

The 1060,70, and 80 punch above their weight very well

1. please not this a map, not random mining (you can follow the route and making millions) 2. yeah I basically my ship becomes a full-auto limpit machine gun and I prospect hundred of rocks to find the best ones for making the map

Imma have to check that out later.

I don't know either why he does that. Prospector limpets are used to reveal fissures and targets that are under the surface. They aren't used for anything that related to the mining laser (which just lasers the surface and dislodges random pieces of material). Prospector limpets are needed for the sub-surface displacement missiles and the seismic charges.

when a propector limpet scan a rocks, it increase the amount of resources you can get, also it gives you the composition of the rock but here since it's a mining route all the rocks contain platinium, but if you go to a random rock maybe there won't be any platinium

You get more with prospector limpets. The rating of limpets matters too. An A rated prospector limpet will cause asteroids to drop more fragments than a b rated obe

What you guys are looking at here, and not realising it, is that this video is actually a kind of animated map, created specially for rapid, high-profit surface-mining runs. Prospector limpets are not only for showing fissures and sub-surface materials. In surface mining, they are used to see the yield of platinum as a percentage of the available materials in the rock. The higher the percentage, the more platinum you'll get out of it. Now, the problem is, finding high-yield rocks is very hit-and-miss. You need to scan a lot of dud and so-so rocks to find the occasional motherlode. This video-map has done the hard work for you. The playthrough bypasses all the duds, and takes you directly to each high-yield rock along a fairly linear route, so you stay orientated and don't lose the 'route'. This is why he is mining every rock he scans with a prospector drone. He's ignoring all the crap ones he discovered earlier, and showing you just the good stuff. This is basically a chained pathway through the belt, and it needs to be followed exactly, step by step. As hard as it may be to believe, every rock in a ring spawns in exactly the same location, every time. So every time you go through the mining run, every high-yield rock will be in exactly the same location as the last time. If you follow his route exactly, hitting only the rocks he does, you'll make bank as fast as possible. But lose the 'path', and you'll find yourself hitting rocks at random, not pulling in anywhere near as much ore, and getting frustrated. Also, you need to be exactly in the correct starting-point for this to work. Pay attention to the distance to the initial marker. You need to dial that in exactly, otherwise your view won't match the map, and you won't be able to find the first rock. And yes, there are plenty of such maps around.. both as a sequence of still shots, and as videos. I maintain a KZfaq playlist of just maps like this one. (Which I've just added.)

You will not get the full output (in terms of platinum) if you don't prospect the rock first. Its well known a mechanic of the game, and a common mistake for new miners. Equally, the rating of your prospector also plays a role in potential output, so make sure you're using A-rated prospectors ONLY. Also, as someone already pointed out, this is a MINING MAP. I found each of these rocks beforehand, looking for high-yield rocks ONLY. This video is essentially an animated map of this planet's ring, showing the location specific high-yield rocks. Anyone can follow it, you just have to mine the exact same route.

It's there, trust me lmao

I know there's a low chance of you seeing this but any chance you found it? I'm having the same issue

@@themoddedgamer7310 I used another map, worked and I got millions

If you're mining for tritium, you're doing it all wrong. Trit's like 50-55k/ton, which if you own a Fleet Carrier and think it's expensive to purchase a T9 or Cutter full of Trit, you aren't ready to own a Fleet Carrier.

@@Clockdistrict Bro.. I already own one since the end of 2022. My critique is based experience and on actual understanding. How in the world would a T9 or Cutter be too expensive? Considering I grinded Robigo until I had a fully upgraded FC with an extra 2,5B Cr. You sound like YOU are not ready for a FC yourself since you didn't get this immediately, anyone who actually grinded for FC know that nothing is ever gonna be too expensive again, Cutter, Anaconda, Corvette become almost free compared to an FC since they can just go back to that 150M/h Cr grind which they must have used since no one can possibly have the time to grind for an FC at any lower Cr/h rate. Which again highlights my of how broken the Cr grind is. Also.. How would I purchase Tritium if my FC is for i.e. deep space exploration? Where will I buy Tritium 10-20kLy away from Sol? You know there are almost no stations only a ~1000 Ly away from Sol right?

@@monolith4653 You set a buy order for tritium when parked in the bubble, close to stations selling it. Cmdrs will fill it up for you and you are ready to go.

Honestly my ship build is not that great... It has bare minimum engineering because I hate the materials grind. You'd do better finding another video with a dedicated Laser Mining Cutter build!

@@ythompy Supposedly there's a trick to turn a 10 hour engineering grind into 1 hour. It's like a log out to desktop then log back in type thing. I'm not sure how to do it, though.

Based on watch time and views, I'm estimating that this map has already generated at least 5 billion credits for other commanders in the last month... If you don't understand the value of this video, then it's obviously not for you!

@@ythompy lol wtf? What billions? Boring vid. I'd better see some vid like haha ship go boom. What are you folks doing, mining rocks with a boring map? Its like production line, some grind that repeats thousand times ffs. Touch some grass idk

@@Qlkey_aGa homie this is a game built for people to do several different things they might wanna be doing. The devs put in a lot of stuff to add to the mining mechanic, so clearly they wanted people to enjoy it as much as others. Plus one engineer requires mining and their upgrades are sick so might as well make some money while mining

If mining isn't your thing (as it isn't mine), get into Anti-Xeno combat. You can make 2 billion an evening in a team. I pulled in 1.7 billion in combat bonds + all the mission rewards (600m) and hundreds of grade 5 encoded/manufactured materials last night.

Not boring for me, one of the best mapped mining vids I've seen. Structured flying, easy to follow, reduced waste by speeding up general grinding, cruisey synthwave to listen to and finished on a humours musical note. Thanks CMDR. Would love to see your ship build, if it's no hassle.
