This must be fixed, the brain trees stay and there are no materials to be collected

me and chaopussy mapped out all those brain trees, glad to see they are still being used.

I used this method to fill up all my G4 raw mats. There are somethings that might be helpful; 1. The terrain quality graphics setting was at Ultra for me and that made it pretty hard to back away far enough for the trees/shards to disappear but the limpets still being in range (2x 3A controllers). So I turned down the graphics->quality setting "terrain quality" to the lowest value, then they would disappear at 600-800 meters and the limpets would continue to work. 2. There is not a strong need to go those exact coordinates on the planets. The blue coloring from the surface scanner shows areas where the shards/trees can be found and there are enough to just pick off whatever you find why flying over the surface. It's like exobiology if you have tried that. I don't go after single trees/shards, only multiples. I liked this method more as I don't like flying to specific coordinates in ED and this variation made it feel less grindy.

Thanks for this video Cmdr. - relatively new and trying to collect materials so I can engineer the FSD (baby steps :) ). I wish you could buy the materials, but.... Perhaps the best part of this is I'll get a Phantom out of this, albeit un-engineered - for now! Thanks again o7

Find it usefull? Man, this IS indeed more than usefull. Thanks a lot XD "Damn where is my ship, and drones.......mhm oooookay, Materoials i cooooommmiiiiing!" XD Aaaaaah beware for ingame Griefers, this places are well known, and you will be attackt there. Prepare for this, or play in the Singleplayer ;).

I dont get any materials if i shoot the brain trees, go out of render distance and start my collecter drones, they will simply come back and i get a massage that the collecting process failed.

I've heard that you don't have to log out, just fly high enough the nodes actually despawn instead of just disappearing from the screen, then fly back down and repeat.

thanks mate

Amazing!!!

i do recommend keeping a bay, for when the limpets go after certain materials that cause their deaths

i blasted that place pretty well and got 6 Selenium, mostly Manganese. Definitely not worth the effort!

Great vid, though the edmaterials site appears down. I just used the info displayed in your vid. One additional suggestion: do this on the night side with night vision turned on. It's way easier spotting the trees, especially the large groups of them.

The first time I saw a video of this, dude used frag cannons. More ammo than the flak and no need to worry about timing.

nicely done!

Why the fuck are there two different sets of coordinates?

Perfect. No bs no shouting just well paced information. Thank you!

EDMaterials link doesn't work.

This built could be improved upon. Why not use a multi limpet controller to get an extra slot for another cargo rack, a 6E cargo rack, a 5A fuel scoop and a 4G SRV module in a size 5 slot in addition to a Detailed Surface Scanner?

edmaterials down making this tut totally obsolote.

this dont work for me xd "plants" despawn when im out of range with limpet controller, for me they despawn at 1,350 km when on ur vid its about 600m how? lowering settings will help? edit: Yep lowering settings helped XD

always wondered how does edi get there info? is it somehow scraped from the game data? or is it from pilots finding it?

limpets work on planets now? well thats a nice change

Thanks for the tutorial! But the material web site is down 😢

Do you have a similar build that uses the ASP Explorer as a basis instead?

PC ONLY

Playing from PS. Does it work on Horizon version too?

This is hella useful, thanks for taking the time to make this video. Great work man!

any idea what settings make those material objects despawn? since I always end up in out of range to make the objects despawn about 1.1-1.3km, and in ur vids it's just 600m somehow

Second question: Why Long Range Sensors instead of Lightweight?

On the build, why Point Defense and Frame Shift Wake Scanner? I've never used either so I might be out of the loop as to their function, especially in regards to a material collector build.

Thank you, you, beautiful, wonderful human being for showing me this method

Wow this video is amazing. I was brought here from Reddit. a commentor left the link when I had issues with the SRV. Amazing.

OMG, need to try :)

anyone know if this works with the coloured pre-engineered flak launcher? I'm getting no valid collection targets 😞

Thanks. Needing to collect all that stuff bit by bit was one reason that threw me out of the game. I think i will give it a shot.

Tried this with meta alloy, aspx, xbox series x…. Failed miserably. Limpets just kept hitting the planet or i was “too far” to trigger them picking up. ANY SUGGESTIONS??

EDMaterials site is dead now :(

What setting do I turn down to decrease brain tree spawn distance? edit: another comment already said it's terrain quality

EDMaterials is gone apparently.

I’m guessing this doesn’t work for the console Legacy version of the game.

thx for this! i hate srv farming. Flechette works too?

I gave this a go earlier. It's very satisfying.

That's awesome, Thanks! Since you can only synthesize four limpets at a time, I'm wondering if I might try this in a cutter or something with more storage.

Thanks a lot, very helpful

The same thing work's at the various Guarding site's.

Im at HIP 36601 C 1 A at the coords (-31.03, 14.85) and there are crystals, which do nto get hit by my flak? How come?

wow 100% thank you for showing this!! about to start the grind (again) and you just saved sooooo much time

never knew about that cool.

Niice i will try this out. Also this was rly easy to info to absorb. Alot of elite guides are not :)
