Here I introduce you to Sub-surface Mining, the enjoyable but sometimes overlooked method of mining in Elite Dangerous. Using our sub-surface missile, we'll drill into asteroids to free our chosen mineral. Feel free to ask questions!
Thanks for watching and be sure to be kind to one another!

I've seen quite a few videos on subsurface mining and they were all over complicated. This one was perfect in my opinion. To the point and full of the information that's actually needed!

Sub Surface mining can make the difference between a wasted trip and a profitable day. You can usually expect 3 to 5 tons of product from any one deposit. I have gotten up to 25 tons from a single deposit. As well, if you're far enough outside the Bubble to not have Pirates to deal with, you can effectively farm sub surface deposits just like you would farm high grade emissions sources. Find a rock like shown in this video. Having 2, 3, even 4 deposits. Clean them out then log out to desktop. Log back in and your rock of choice will be right below you ready to go another round.

Does this work on PS4 with platinum asteroids?

@draconusspiritus1037 Жыл бұрын

@@crypticcyru5907 while I don't own a PS4, if you can buy and use a sub-surface missile launcher. it works. Sub-Surface Missile Launchers come in both #1 and #2 sizes. I've always used the size #2. And it works for any product that can be sub surface mined. Gold, Silver, Platinum, Painite, Osmium, LTD, Bromellite, Tritium and so on. And the system does appear to reward perseverance and success. Tackling the more difficult targets plus consecutive successful extractions seem to result in higher yield per extraction. And BTW, you don't even have to log out all the way to desktop. Just log out to Main Menu is plenty. Just be aware that if you're near enough to the Bubble for NPC Pirates to spawn. They will be coming to visit.

Your videos are great! Thanks for getting right to the point and not trying too hard to be funny / entertaining. So much more enjoyable than most ED content creators!

Good video and well presented, subbed. It makes me want to get back into mining (along with your other mining vids) simply for the fun of it and not the money. I really enjoy mining in VR. Cheers

What type of asteroids/rings does tritium form in?

I gave up on core & sub, the rocks were so far n few n in between, it would take me 20+ minutes to find the next rock. I searched so many systems with the help of ED Mining Tool and other tools - nothing. I wanted to do sub-surface so bad, but in the end I only do platinum laser mining now with my type-9 space cow. It's slow too but nowhere near as bad as core/sub, and I have 11 collector limpets racing around to pick up fragments!

I hear you I hear you loud and clear! It's not always easy especially since the "fleet carrier update" lowered some of our best resources. Thank you for watching o7 cmdr!
