The hunt for zirconium
Can someone tell me where zirconium is most common in? Trying to locate an asteroid belt with this stuff, or planet, if anyone could share their bookmarks, that would be appreciated!

I've gotten Zirconium from planets sometimes...different ones really. Perhaps you should get in your SRV and take a ride

Go to the Engineer's base and check the oldest news articles. There will be one that lists all the surface materials and a body within 30ly where you can find each material.

Just to mention, since yesterday's update, scanned landable planets will now tell you via system map what they have on them and their %.

Or try this: http://edmaterializer.com/

It's 40000ly from sol, does that help? ;)

2.3% is awesome. I went to a planet last night offering Ruthenium at 1.5% and found 12 within thirty minutes. Same thing happened a few minutes later with Antimony on a planet that only offered it at 1.5% where I found 21 units in about the same amount of time.

this takes me some "weeks", but accidently i found 2 arsenic as I landed. Let's find out, how many I find in 1 hr at a 2.3% rate, guess none :D.

If you go into the search frustrated, you'll create a self fulfilling prophecy. Just take a deep breath and remember to have FUN!
