Map with deep mineral nodes?

[Inc]

Anyone knows a interactive map with deep mineral nodes. The current maps online provide just cave information.

I thought the deep nodes were randomized? Or did I understand that wrong?

You have to select Deep mining nodes on, from the filter menu.

The Deep Mining Nodes are in set permanent locations all over the map but the type of mineral is randomized for each one for each drop.

So you always find them in the same spots, but you just don't know what type you'll find until you look.

So I only half misunderstood then, I'm improving! Yay!

thank you very much for the help

You can buy a device in the orbital workshop that lets you detect deposits, called the advanced deep vein scanner. It's a very good investment if you're looking for deposits.

The workshop scanner allows you to cycle through each resource and if one is within range it will show the direction towards it, with a percentage readout of the strength of the single (basically distance to it, % goes up as you get closer).

There's another scanner you can make in-mission, but all it does is show the distance to the nearest deep vein. It cannot be set to a specific resource. It's pretty much useless. It can't be taken back up to orbit. Like all stuff made in mission, it would be deleted.

You can also research it in the tech tree under the Fabricator branch, if I'm not mistaken.

That's the regular scanner, not the "advanced" one from the workshop. The one you build on the fabricator can't be set to a specific resource. Just shows nearest of whatever. I personally found it to be useless. Run way out of my way to find an iron deposit or something I didn't need.

Thanks for the information. I was almost crafting the regular one.
