How to find geological sites?

[Cizenyo]

I'm looking for selenium. I found a planet that has selenium with a good percentage(I guess) I scanned the planet %100. But I can't find the geological sites. What am I doing wrong?

Not all planets have geological sites. The way to tell if a planet will have sites without mapping it is to check it's 'volcanism' any type of volcanism and a planet will produce geological sites.

So there is no way to get the selenium on that planet I have to find a volcanic one?

You dont need a geological sight to get it, you can find all the listed materials scattered around the surface in rocks, outcrops and meteorites, look for them on your wave scanner in the SRV, there the low to mid strength signals, just shoot em with the turret and crack them open.

Part of the fun is that you have to look. When you're in a system, use the FSS. Look for Metal rich body's or heavy metal worlds Wait during the scanning and look in the top right corner of the screen. There you find information about the geological ot biologicak sites.

When there are no geological sites, land you ship, jump in your SRV and roam the surface of the planet. Watch your sensor display for more!

Have fun!!

Thank you, any tips?

Small or more common raw materials are a low strength signal,
Slightly higher then that will be larger deposits or rarer materials,
Mid strength signals are man mad objects such as ships, skimmers or cargo containers,
High strength signals mean technology such as beacons or crashed satellites you can scan and can also a settlement or base of some kind,

And to clarify what I mean by strength of the signal I'm referring to how high up the wave scanner display it indicates,

Planetary salvage can be fun with all that goes into looking for things.
