  • In this Elite Dangerous tutorial by EDTutorials by Exigeous we look at the fastest ways to collect Elite Dangerous raw, Elite Dangerous manufactured and Elite Dangerous data engineering materials for use in engineering in Elite Dangerous. These are the ways to collect the fastest raw materials, fastest manufactured materials and fastest data to engineering your ship as quickly as possible saving you as much time while collecting materials for engineering.
    ▶️▶️▶️UPDATE!!! I've put out a MUCH better guide that covers ALL materials in a MUCH more efficient way▶️▶️▶️
    • The FASTEST Ways to Ga...
    In this tutorial we'll look at some of the most efficient methods to gather materials, minerals and data using various techniques such as combat, wake scanning, High Grade USSes and the Material Traders.
    ▶️UPDATE: I should have mentioned that using missions can be another great way to get materials/data, especially grade 4-5 stuff.

    Although you really sped through most of the methods, I sincerely I appreciate the space. It's a lot more convenient to get advice you can pause, replay, and commit to memory, as opposed to watching 15-60 minute tutorial videos. And all information presented was very helpful, despite the time grind involved. In the end, finally getting the materials and credits needed to get to the point you want to be at is truly rewarding, the slog and grind is extremely disenchanting. I think most players would prefer the "ah ha!" moment of realizing they've innocuously gained what they need by just playing, buy the design of the game seems to be "whew! At LAST!". The reward is there, it's just disappointing how much dedication it requires and how polarizing it can be for potential new players like myself with limited attention spans and available time to play. Thanks for the video if you ever read this.

    Koli Discii system, C 6 A also has a crashed Anaconda and is a bit easier to get at even with a larger ship. Takes a little work but you can park another Anaconda right next to the crash. You'll be well served using a Surface Scanner and surveying the planet to find it the first time around. Be sure to scan the data core of the crash (near the nose) and then you'll be able to find it easily on return trips. As well, there's an abandoned outpost or settlement about 4 Km from the crash with one or more data ports reported to give grade 1 - 4 data mats.

    Thank you so much for the info. I've been out in the black for 11 months so coming back recently showed me just how much the particulars of engineering had changed. The sad thing is, your video shows just how we as the players have to game the system to fulfill the game objectives. We also have to rely on outside sources like Inara and EDDB to make all these mechanics work without it being a pain in the ass. I love FDEV for the space ship sim they created...I really do not like them for how badly they whiffed other aspects of the experience.

    You can just drop in and scan the nav beacon for the high grades or use fss now which makes it a lot easier. Make sure you filter for the systems you need. Don't forget Jameson's and bug smasher for data and raw.

  • @sk8er100100
    @sk8er100100 4 года назад

    Probably worth pointing out to anyone that doesn't do combat much that if using the combat method, you should engage and destroy the target first, THEN drop the cargo hatch and fire limpets. Cargo hatch down means now boosting and top speed limited to half what it would usually be, which is a very significant disadvantage. You could fire the limpets then retract the hatch to have them ready asap but they'll likely get destroyed while you're in combat, and they won't be able to collect anything with the hatch up anyway.

    You can collect a LOT of manufactured materials at asteroid mining sites. Put a Collector Limpet controller on your ship and fill your cargo hold with lots of limpets. After you destroy the pirates that frequent these sites, launch some limpets to collect their debris. Then all you have to do between attacks is sit around while your limpets collect the debris and your shields recharge. Don't keep anything valuable in your hold and the pirates will leave you alone between your attacks.
    Keep an eye on your cargo status indicator (lower right) from time to time. Limpets are stupid and will collect everything, including illegal cargo. If an authority ship scans you while it's onboard, they won't care where you got it from.

    For Raw materials, look at HIP 36601. It is relatively far from the bubble for new commanders, but it has most of the rare Raw mats in biological signal sources on a few of the planets. Its WAY faster than making a loop of a place. Bring a DSS!

    New player here. I have not done anything with Engineers yet other than visit Felicity to sell her scan data. Watching you mine these materials make me wish there was an in-game trading. I would rather pay (with credits) a high price for a few materials than farm them myself. Heck, I would rather make a 100+ jump journey to pick them up instead of doing it myself. That is not the game play I want to experience. But, perhaps that is only my ignorance talking

    • @Exigeous
      @Exigeous  6 лет назад

      Yeah, this will never be added and once you get into the game you'll understand why. If everything was based on credits it would very negatively impact things as all everyone would do is farm credits. Once you start farming efficiently it's really not that bad at all and gets you to engage many different game mechanics, some better than others.

    There is something interesting about Dav's hope vs Site 426. Site 426 has overwhelmingly larger amounts of tier 1 and 2 spawns. Dav's hope has the opposite of mostly tier 3 and 4 drops. They seem to go well together. Do any other sites have this or other focuses? Maybe each Inara or abandoned site has a focus of sorts to what it gives out the most. I'm currently trying to max out all engineering mats to see if there is any sort of achievement for them.
    I just went to the wregoe system and got most of the guardian tech mats maxed out from USS. Have you done a video on this yet or heard of this. A guy in a thread in the main forums showed the system he was farming from. They come in groups of 5 or 9 matts when you get one. they spawn from encoded and degraded emissions in a fairly good frequency. It was pretty easy to max out on. Except for some annoying low tier items that have like 300 or 250 max resources for. I think I only filled 3 half way because the others already had more from doing guardian sites in the past.

      Second to find HGEs it's MUCH faster to just drop in at the NAV beacon, scan it and jump back to supercuise. That way when you get back to SC if you see HGEs, great - if not go to the next system. Finally check out the Material Finder at www.edtutorials.com as it will show you the exact system that commanders have actually gathered that material in, and while not a guarantee it makes it far more likely.

I'd like something from Engineer "A", but that means gaining favor with engineers "B", "C", and "D", then going on whatever wild goose chase it takes to unlock each of them, the collecting whatever materials they want for upgrades I'm not interested in, just to eventually get the stuff I do want. Yuck.

    I deleted my save a couple of weeks ago as i'd not played in a long time...restarted and of course...zero materials. My vulture is currently flying with collector limpits to rectify the situation :-)
    regular mining with mining laser in rocky & metal rich rings is also a great way to get lot's of the common raw materials

    Do you have any tips on targeting the resources for pickup in the SRV? I always think it's a pain in the ass when they're just too close to look at and you bump into them. There's no way to just hover up anything that isn't targeted right?

    • @Exigeous
      @Exigeous  6 лет назад +1

      The best is to open your left panel and select them while you're right on top. Here is another place VR wins out as I can just look down and target them far easier. It's been hard to do a few things for the videos as I try not to shoot in VR due to the shaky cam.

    • @jimrobinson4755
      @jimrobinson4755 6 лет назад

      If you use a control stick to fly with, use it to drive as well, then just use your target button to target each piece and run over it to pick it up, back up or drive around and repeat. The only thing that is kind of a pain, in this case, is when the stub of the rock you shot sticks up far enough to stop your SRV.

  • @Hammersmashedd

    Ever since Davs Hope got nerfed ( each pickup there only counts as 1 not 3 now ) I found it's a lot easier and faster to go to a distribution site in a famine system as you mentioned HOWEVER also having it be anarchy so you can pop the 3 T9s at the site. If you want you can relog to reset the instance but they will actually warp in a new set after about 10 minutes. It drops basically the same materials(except usually more higher grade, which is nice) and is much more lax since it's just popping whales and scooping them up and no one cares since it's anarchy.

    You complained about scanning USS as boring activity but happy to drive SRV for couple of hours around crashed Conda... For me personally all mensioned activities are grindy and boring but scanning USS is the least repetitive of them. I'd rather mix different activities when hunting materials and grind only for those I need for particular module upgrade.

    • @Exigeous
      @Exigeous  6 лет назад

      You're missing the point - for USS farming you sit there, doing nothing *hoping* something will pop up and when it does it's usually not what you want, high grade. While sure, mineral farming isn't "fun" you're at least doing something and will absolutely get high grade minerals on every single log. Once is absolutely reliable and consistent, the other isn't even close to either. Plus I enjoy driving the SRV in VR where farming USS just plain sucks all around - get it?

    I would also like to point out that Inara.cz is a FANTASTIC place for engineering and material trading. It allows you to make Crafting Lists, which ask for the number of rolls you want per grade, and also gives you a missing components tab which tells you the best trades for your materials, so you waste as little as possible, and know what's safe to trade. It's a fantastic companion which I absolutely prefer over EDEngineer.

    • @Exigeous
      @Exigeous  6 лет назад

      You are getting them, I promise, you just don't get them all that often so you aren't noticing them. If you have data in your ship that's one of the main ways. You'll also get data by scanning ships in supercruise in the same way. Remember you have to point your ship at them for several (I think 5) seconds to complete the scan.
      As for farming methods I agree, sadly that's what Frontier has given us.
