how to find those surface deposits on asteroid?
How the hell we find those special deposits on asteroids ,i finally managed how to switch those damn new "modes" fired prospect limpits on kinda 30 asteroids.
Ive got message scan complete...and nothing shows ,tagging limpets just give info like it been lately.
Added composition scanner to fire group but cannot do anything with this junk in any mode.
Is there any tutorial bout this new stuff?

Fissures or Subsurface Deposits?

Fissures are used for Seismic mining (AKA, cracking ateroids), while subsurface deposits are mined from the outside of the asteroid using a Sub-Surface Displacment Missle.

Fissures (and subsurface deposits?) are found by using a Pulse Wave Analyser (A utility mount), and look for asteroids that are vibrant yellow, the brighter the yellow, the higher the mineral content.

You can actually see fissures and sub-surface deposits on the exterior of an asteroid if you look.
Fissures resemble a cracked texture that spiders outwards in white, while a deposit is a smaller (typicall discolored) rock on the outside of the asteroid.

Hitting any asteroid with a prospector limpet shows the location of subsurface deposits and fissures (If it has any), and if the contents list says Core Detected : (Mineral), its crackable.
