Wait for it here we go we look at I've cracked an asteroid
hello it's Ricardo and welcome back to a leaked dangerous I'm going take a look
at seismic mining yes you know seismic mining William crack those asteroids
wide open and it's just part of my rebooting for start seems where I look
at the new developments and elite dangerous and hopefully give some tips
on how to do it now you can't go around cracking just any asteroid you can't
just go blasting the stuffing out of it right you're gonna need some stuff to do
that right first off stuff is gonna manifest itself
in a decent ship you're gonna need some like a Python or a crate any ship really
this could be big enough to support the equipment you need so a ship right
Python prey for whatever a pulse wave scanner to do your prospecting a surface
scanner to look at those rings Specter limpets to go and find which
asteroid have the biggest bounty collection limpets to pick up all those
the items that you shave off a whole host of tools like abrasion lasers
seismic missiles displacement missiles of those subsurface deposits cargo space
and a refinery so quite a mouthful but we'll go through some of those in
another video but where you look at finding a system now look at this system
here okay I'm in the del car system lots of rings there I see planets rocky
planets it's not all about the old points right it's not all about the
low-temperature diamonds even though it is nice and you do get a hefty profit
from them and you've seen loans about this people making millions and millions
and millions right with an elite dangerous and frontier said yeah it's an
in-game feature this is how we've done it you can make a sizable profit on
other systems as well okay other ring systems rocky metallic I see right
then there's money to be made out yet you haven't got to be just so picky and
everyone is going for these low-temperature diamonds and anyone's
going for these opoid opals or Lloyd opals or whatever they have Lloyd opals
ask the stuff right but I say it's mainly made with other materials so
using the surface scanner which is what I've got here you get close enough
within supercruise equip it and then fire your probes which you have an
unlimited amount at the Rings and the surface of the planet one probe on the
Rings will suffice and that will show all the hot spots you can see them there
in orange then once you've done that is completely up to you whether you want to
go ahead and start mining the planet surface right now I say mining the
planet service what I mean is scanning the planet surface
right you're going to send your probes off to the planet's surface and it's
going to map that surface get to 90 percent and that surface of the planet
is there or deemed mapped okay but it's getting
to that 90 percent and there's a knack to that which I've carried in one of my
previous videos but it's all about getting those probes to wrap around the
other side but anyway once you've done all that and you've identified your
hotspots it's time to fly over to that hotspot yeah so here is the glowing
orange hotspot that I've identified in the previous scan Here I am in my Python
the manic Badger and I'm on approach so approaching this is quite difficult
yes you can amount the lovely graphics and the clone cloud like density of of
these rings and you're gonna think oh my god you know this is a wonderful place
but approaching these can be quite difficult more chances more often than
not is you're gonna fall a little bit too short and you have a little bit of a
boost to get there but when you get that particular location you're gonna find
yourself in an asteroid field it's time to start prospecting now look at this
cloud here right once you've unpacked that pulse wave scanner have a look at
your environment now this cloud here indicates to me that someone's been
there it's not just pretty even though it is very pretty it means that some has
been then someone's been mining whether you're in solo or whether you're in open
that means someone has been cracking open asteroids and has been mining all
the bounty so that's a place to avoid and perhaps go in mind somewhere else
and try your luck in a different area use the night vision that came with
chapter 4 and also the pulse scan to scan for asteroids in your area now
without hitting asteroids like I did at any point to our shields on your ship
look at this asteroid in the middle here this glowing one is causing the glow on
the other asteroids around it and therefore I think is a damn good
candidate right to mine so use that pulse wave scan this wins particular
archive we're gonna fire our limpets off and see if we're right and we are indeed
gonna be right it's got a lovely core of low-temperature
and that's where it's all around bonus because they all get a hefty price
depending on whatever station that you want to go and sell them at okay and
there's websites about this and that's all wonderful now some of the tools that
you need we mentioned the abrasion blaster the abrasion blaster is for
surface deposits okay and when you've identified what you're gonna actually go
and mine you use the seismic charges for fissures so abrasion blaster for surface
seismic charges for fissures okay now nothing's stopping you right scraping
off with your abrasion blaster all the materials on the surface of that
asteroid and then getting your collector limpets out there to go and Hoover them
all up and put them in your cargo hold and then your refinery will start
processing keep an eye on your refinery though because ESPE fair you don't have
all your hoppers busy or full and then you get a big old stack of
low-temperature diamonds okay so refinery management keep an eye on that
right panel scroll down and you interface into the refinery and make
sure you've got your eye on what bins are free I tend to go no less than a
class for now asteroids have fishes now these fishes come in several different
flavors you've got yo low-yield fishes which means neither ye low yield seismic
charge this is accomplished by just pippin the trigger or fire button you
also have medium or average fishers which mean you gotta basically gotta be
a bit more careful with how you hold the trigger down to release the charge but
halfway perhaps and then you've got high-yield fishers where you just hold
the trigger down release that seismic charge at the Fisher on the asteroid and
maximum power to shields back off a little bit and then stand back and watch
the fireworks very important that so aiming the seismic charges the Fisher's
is quite straightforward you'll see them highlighted crack off that seismic
charge back off to a fairly decent safe distance and away you go
there'll be a countdown which you can see in the top right-hand corner and
this countdown indicates the yield strength of this particular asteroid now
I've got a couple of seismic charges there on the go and you can see there's
an asteroid fissure there if we look at this one now I've identified it it's
glowing that lovely color you can tell just by looking with it it's going to be
fissures all over the place I've sent my perspective limpets off there it's gonna
tell me what's in there
yes we've got a fissure sort of a bridge strength fissures we've got surface
deposits we've got a subsurface deposit better
get the old displacement missiles out for that what for those ones and a whole
host of materials that I can use now no temperature diamonds as well not only
can be found inside in the core but also on surface deposits and subsurface
deposits so don't be afraid to have a good look at some perhaps a lesser
asteroids that have the materials that you want
I mean mining is all about prospecting and you've got to look for these
materials to get those materials and as condescending as that sounds it's
completely in Italy true don't go looking you're not gonna find anything
but it'll taken a while for you to get your head around the fat which asteroids
are the asteroids that are worth while sending prospective limpets out for and
spending some time scanning and like I said it's all about finding the ones
that are glowing the brightest and normally they're surrounded by other
asteroids like ours a great patch of asteroids out there I'll go over there
and I'll start mining and it's that what asteroid that has the materials that you
need and the other ones just having that reflective glow off that one they do
have materials themselves but nowhere near in abundance as what you'll get
from you know the key mother lode asteroid now for interior done a really
good job here Mining used to be as boring as bloody hell
my state well-well-well clear from it because sitting there with a mining
laser shooting rocks was not my idea of fun I like exploring I like bounty
hunting I like all the rest of it at least here now right you're given that
sort of gratification sort of like set piece of cracking an asteroid wide-open
and it is really really satisfying I think it is anyway and you can find
yourself losing hours prospecting a particular ring and gaining all those
materials things I would mention as well is that I've got an abrasion blaster
displacement missiles pulse wave scanner and seismic charges on this Python I've
also got three or two sorry class three C honking gimballed
beam lasers right because the amount of times I have dropped in somewhere and
the pirates have been there or someone's dropped in and given me a good old
pasting is no one's business so I would suggest going in there and not too
heavily armed because you need to have your mining your mining tools in your
tool bag but you can't just go in there without any protection as the bishop
said anyway so here we go I've set my charges off and if I get it right I'll
crack it open if I get it wrong like that I'll just make a bit of a mess it
may or may not free some materials but get it right get that charge placed
right and it'll crack open and all those materials will spew forth and you'll get
an indication at the top right-hand side of the screen
how many materials have been released and you can select those in your contact
section on the left-hand panel now collect a limpets talking about those
I've got collector limpets I can shoot two of those off at any one time and
they do take up all the heavy lifting it would be a right pain in the backside to
go around there with a cargo scoop open right start scooping things up that's
not to say you can't do that you can it's just
I'm lazy well not let the technology work for you
and once this has been cracked open nice and wide as you can see here my
collector limpets are out there collecting all those materials while
they're doing that I tend to switch over to the abrasion blaster and start
blasting off all the surface deposits that have been opened up now I've
cracked open that particular asteroid that then releases them and then the
limpet start going out and ferrying back and forth into the cargo hold and in
turn then back and forth into the refinery very important do not leave the
station without limpets there I've reminded you no excuse
don't forget Olympus the amount of times I have forgotten my limpet is no one's
business and it's soul-destroying you find where's the mother lode right let's
get going but you is away right of actually doing
some prospecting without limpets look at the surface deposits just blast a few
off that'll give you a good indication of what's going on there long as you've
got your pulse wave scanner refinery management take a good look at that as
well on the right hand panel refinery management take a look at the bins
alright the bins will contain the amount of materials once the materials get to a
hundred percent it will refine that quantity of materials and therefore free
up the bin you can also eject materials out of that refinery bin but we're going
to go into that in much detail right on another video because talking about that
refinery can go on for about seven minutes and I really haven't got it in
me to talk about refineries this morning for seven minutes so there you have it
that's a quick rundown of seismic mining use your pulse wave scanner to prospect
your asteroids use your surface scanner and the system map to find the ringed
planets in the first place once you're in the asteroid field
night vision pulse wave scanner look for those asteroids that are glowing nice
and red and then you shouldn't be able to go too far wrong I've been Ricardo it
has been seismic mining in reboot Umbra start check out from all videos in this
series and like and subscribe if you haven't done so thank you for support
and check back for more they're on their way
