you can have a limpet pick up multiple items by making sure that nothing is targeted. the limpet will continue to pick up objects until none remain it runs out of fuel and self-destructs.
You are the first I have ever given a thumbs up to. You told me something no one else did in any of their guides and that was how to ignore elements with the contacts page on the left panel. Cheers!
3:10 is definitely a big thing to consider. I bought a T9 after mining with my Python for a while, and the sheer size of the cargo hold and lack of maneuverability made me miss my python almost immediately.
Great video, thanks for the outline of what exactly to do and get started with mining. Now, I can give this another try, probably with a less inappropriate ship than a Fed Gunship. Maybe one of my Orcas would be good for this. Quick, moves well, forward slots for mining lasers. Chuck the passenger cabins for cargo racks.
I've only been mining for a couple short sessions, and wondered how to filter out the unwanted junk without just having to babysit my refinery. Filtering the limpet seems way more efficient for sure
This isn't surface mining (which requires an Abrasion Gun), this is laser mining. We have: Laster, Surface, Sub-Surface, and Deep Core mining. All use different things.
While it's true you can mine in any ship. But thinking it's cheap to get started is a stretch. You'll spend more than that Sidewinder is worth betting it setup for mining.
A few more tips...1 - pay attention the speed and rotation of the asteroid and position your ship accordingly, so your collector limpets don't slam into it. 2 - All pips to weapons when firing the mining lasers. 3 - Always run grade 3 prospector limpets so you can have 2 going at once, fire one, target it, then fire another waiting for the first to land. After you've depleted the asteroid, fire off prospecting limpets while your collectors are cleaning everything else up. 4. Pick a frame of reference (I like using the planet) and always be moving toward it when prospecting. 5. Don't neglect mining missions - these can give you reputation, high grade materials, and $$ (pro tip - go to Ceos and pick up Bromelite mining missions in a Type 9, you'll be swimming in mats and $$ and working toward that Corvette all at the same time).
Just wondering how long this one run took you? This makes stuff so much easier as well thanks! I was confused with mining for so long and you saved the day! I’m mining with cobra mk3 but I put a shield on there JUST in case lol 😜
Hi I cannot seem to find the collector limpit controller. It's just not available in my option. I have similar setup but i just don't see that option to purchase
Not all ship parts are available at all stations, you can use a site like this to locate the equipment you need. Here's a list of stations that have 3A Controllers for example inara.cz/galaxy-outfitting-stations/72685/ Good luck!
i still dont know how to fit those 5 modules (cobra mk3), i got the refinery and collectors but there is no empty slots left for DSS or Prospector, and im not sure what i can afford to exclude.
Here's a build I put together real quick. The fuel scoop is optional and can be swapped for some shields to help with asteroid bumps if you want. s.orbis.zone/aibY
If you're still having trouble, or are unsure feel free to drop by my discord. There's a section for E:D questions and chat discord.gg/4hNq4yx Happy flying!
Also don't forget to actually buy the limpets, they don't come for free with the limpet controller. You actually have to buy them manually in the restock tab.
At 5:27 did you fake looking at the Mining Tool? You're literally showing us something that's BLANK under the "where to mine section". And is ALWAYS blank.
It’s kind of in a awkward spot. Too big for small stations and a tendency to overheat. It can work, but you usually move on to the type-9 or something if you can.
@@Captain_Archer ok i will move onto the type nine when I can, I’m using the type seven right now mining bromlite and it seems to be working well thanks!
these tutorials make me feel so dumb. my colector limpets keep exploding after they colect one item, and how do i get multiple elements in the hopper? :D
I'm a very new starter to the game and I would like to succeed up the ship line. I've a mission to mine only 2 Samarium but this is not an option on the Mining Tool. Should I just visit the nearest planet ring and just look for it? Thanks for sharing the coriolis.io tool this will be a great help. Keep up the good work.
Or better just get ur mate to give u a bill credits. this game kept crashing. Once I was in the middle of mining and then boom crashed. Relogged got scanned by pirate before I knew what happened I was dead. Raised a ticket and they couldn't care less. They said crp happens will reimburse u but ur cargo is full. That was one week ago. My cargo has been empty for 1 week
1 key misconception is that people think there are different types of limpets. There is only 1 limpet. The controller is what "programs" the limpet for its purpose. Think of it this way, when you go to restock your limpets there is no separate category for repair, prospector, collector, there is just limpets.

My comment now makes sense as not a glitch lol
Prospector limpets “This is not the astroid you’re looking for.”
Collector limpets “Get Over Here”

Lol thanks for the feedback! Yeah it’s a very useful ability that I wish I’d known about at the beginning :)
"For this video i assume you have zero background in how mining is done" Oh thank god! :) newbie here with a sub!
Thank you for the laymans guide for this layman, finally feel like I have a clue what I'm doing.
3:10 is definitely a big thing to consider. I bought a T9 after mining with my Python for a while, and the sheer size of the cargo hold and lack of maneuverability made me miss my python almost immediately.
Same. Although it's hated on because of how easily it gets hung up, I've found mining in a beluga to be very enjoyable while still pulling a big haul
Just get a cutter or a conda for higher jump range
Excellent, efficient A-to-B guide. Thank you!

Melter ofSnowflakes you’ll have to report back on how the Orca does!
subbed and pressed the bell hello from Scotland
Much appreciated!

"If You mine in open... good luck". Priceless. Only for suicide or hardcore cmdrs.
I just got a Type-6 and went to any random ring to see what I could find. Those online tools are handy lol
Yeah, but exploring rings is actually what makes it engaging and fun. Too bad these tools are here, it feels exploited now.
This isn't surface mining (which requires an Abrasion Gun), this is laser mining. We have: Laster, Surface, Sub-Surface, and Deep Core mining. All use different things.
Good catch, corrected the title.
Thank you so much
Thanks for this
Every. Dang. Time. I forget to open my cargo scoop
It be like that 🤣
8:00 Actually pulse-wave analyser is needed here to detect first if this one or that one rock has something valuable in it.

I sold samaritan or whatever it's called for 150,000 each, the galactic price was maybe in the 20k range.
The prospector also increases asteroids yield
Extremely good info. :-)
Just wondering how long this one run took you? This makes stuff so much easier as well thanks! I was confused with mining for so long and you saved the day! I’m mining with cobra mk3 but I put a shield on there JUST in case lol 😜
I usually spend 2-3 hours and rarely fill up. Glad you found the info useful!
Thanks, now i know how i can use my Keelback (i will use a Keelback because it can defend itself well)

getting started?!?! I can't even do the tutorial lmao
how much collector limpets should i bring when i have 82 cargo space?
When you have limited cargo space like that, I say go full or nearly full. You can always jettison some if you need to make room!
I can't find how to set the key bind for limpets. I can't. How do I set them? I looked everywhere and no one has any good answer
You set them to a fire group, like you would your mining lasers and fire them off that way. Good luck!
@@Captain_Archer where do I set them. I can't find them in settings
@@admiraljetro8783 it’s in the number 4 panel fire group assignments. You need to make sure you have a Limpet controller as well
Also don't forget to actually buy the limpets, they don't come for free with the limpet controller. You actually have to buy them manually in the restock tab.
So do you just shoot mostly any random rock until you find it?
Should use a pulse scanner and look for glowing asteroids
Im having issues finding materials im looking for in asteroids, im going to hotspots but im getting through a lot of limps before i find anything.
At 5:27 did you fake looking at the Mining Tool? You're literally showing us something that's BLANK under the "where to mine section". And is ALWAYS blank.
I never see anyone recommending the type 7 is there something wrong with it?
It’s kind of in a awkward spot. Too big for small stations and a tendency to overheat. It can work, but you usually move on to the type-9 or something if you can.
@@Captain_Archer ok i will move onto the type nine when I can, I’m using the type seven right now mining bromlite and it seems to be working well thanks!
@@louis3117 nice, I used it for mining for a while too. If it ain’t broke... :)
these tutorials make me feel so dumb. my colector limpets keep exploding after they colect one item, and how do i get multiple elements in the hopper? :D
think i figured it out.
@@Friday_WasTaken ok cool! Lmk if you still have any questions 🙂
Nice video but not sure where to find the mining spots as your mining tool just covers where to sell. Thx
I'm a very new starter to the game and I would like to succeed up the ship line. I've a mission to mine only 2 Samarium but this is not an option on the Mining Tool. Should I just visit the nearest planet ring and just look for it? Thanks for sharing the coriolis.io tool this will be a great help. Keep up the good work.
I use my Cobra MK3 for my miner..
Still a noob.. but want the creds for python.
Why is this so much more complicated than the ingame tutorial? I'll stick to bounties, delivery missions, and courier missions.
Or better just get ur mate to give u a bill credits. this game kept crashing. Once I was in the middle of mining and then boom crashed. Relogged got scanned by pirate before I knew what happened I was dead. Raised a ticket and they couldn't care less. They said crp happens will reimburse u but ur cargo is full. That was one week ago. My cargo has been empty for 1 week
what happened to this game? all this sounds so boring now
