Great video and great method - what a relief! I found I had more luck with getting Selenium at these coordinates, which are very slightly different: 52.4239, -165.7981 on HR 3230 3AA. I also found I had to set my Model Draw Distance and Terrain Work setting to minimum to get the brain trees to vanish at a reasonable altitude. To start with I was 1.4km up before they disappeared.
Bruh... the remote rockets + limpets combo is wild. I knew some selenium brain tree spots and my favourite was no other than HR 3230 - 3 A A, but I always collected the mats on SRV. Thanks for the tip!
I've used this method for a while now. You might want to mention the reason for moving out of range of the surface, it's so the limpets don't crash into the trees, because they are not rendered at that distance. :) 👍
I'm at the exact coordinates as described 52.5404 x -165.7802 on HR 3230 3AA. Getting a large amount of Manganese, Zincronium and very little Selenium. Maybe one limpet at every log. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if it's been changed or something, but i guess i'm gonna be here a while. I might just be one of the unlucky ones. Still a very well explained and detailed guide. o7
I went to HR 3230 3 A A at 52.6779 -166.7404 and all it gave me was zincronium, manganese, and one other grade 2 raw. Not the Selenium mentioned in the video
The original footage is low rez sorry , looking back over the stock footage you need 52.4505 by -165.7802 , i will cut that section and paste in a full list , sorry
Excellent video. Deeply ingrained flashbacks of time spent in an SRV at these places when I could have been doing this.. Question for you. Why back up until the brain trees de-render? I tried it by staying close and it seemed to work fine. Edit: Right as I asked this question i watched a limpet suicide into a tree. Question solved.
The cluster at 52.6705 by -166.7533 should only drop Selenium , other tree clusters can drop lesser grades if you wander to them, but that one has always dropped just the G4 mats every time I have used it.

I'm glad it proved to be helpful o7

great video, now I'm finally starting with grinding for engineers, thanks!
Another good tip is to completely trade all your grade 5 materials for the lower ones before you go. Just for efficiency.

The spot on HR 3230 3 A A is almost all Manganese for me, very little Selenium.
I went to HR 3230 3 A A at
52.6779
-166.7404 and all it gave me was zincronium, manganese, and one other grade 2 raw.

limpets will run into trees increasing number used.
Is that normal when im getting Zirconium and Manganese aswell? At HR 3230 3 A A

My Brain Trees dont stop rendering until like 1000m out, how far is your model distance slider?
looking in the settings the model draw distance is right down at the bottom and the slider for terrain work is about on 1/4 .
Does this work with geological spots with crystals on rocks and pebble stones? Or do I still have to go down and shoot them off the rocks with my srv?
It should work with them .
Is it flak or flechette launchers? Video shows flak but I hear flechette.
its the flak launchers
