Finding Selenium -.-

[Darth_Lopez]

So far the only way I've found to reliably find selenium is by harvesting brain trees.

My go to's for all the other Raw Grade 4's are what I assume to be the usual locations (HIP 36601 1C: 1A,1D, 3B, 5A and Outotz LS-K D8-3 B5A and B5C Incase you don't know these have Crystaline Fragments that cover: Pollonium, Ruthenium, Tellerium, Technitium, Yttrium, and Antimony Respectively.) However I've not yet been able to locate a Crystaline Growth/Fragment Outcropping that Carriers Selenium. -.- And the brain tree method is... Rather time consuming.

Does anyone have a system they find to be particularly "good" for either the brain tree harvesting method for selenium or (and most critically) Containing some Biological or Geological Outcropping that will Garuntee Selenium drops?

Has been really good for me - with a few remote flak launchers, I'm topped off in minutes

Well, I flew to these exact location and if anyone wants to use it in mid-2024: Don't waste your time
There is LITERALLY NOTHING here.
I drove around the area for a good half an hour and the SRV display did not detect even a single signature xD

This is extremely strange, because when landing in random places on this planet, I found at least *some* crystals...
Well, I'm waiting for someone to find a new location.

Not too surprising. The metallic meteorites won't be persistent anyway, and the game has had a few updates since then. There's probably still some good spots, might take a bit of searching to find them though.

Painful to read through this.

Anyway, Oddy and what it did to raw materials is far more fantastic than people realize.

Location does matter, and it added old fashioned prospecting techniques to the game.

If you want an example land somewhere near there and look for Selenium.
HR 3230 3 A A
67.4808, -87.1515
Zirconium 3
Magnesium 9
Selenium 207

Could land here first and load up on Technetium, then go north north eastish for Selenium.
64.1111, -87.3222
162 Technetium
102 Selenium
15 Maganese
39 Niobium
30 Tin

There are also expanses on the planet completely devoid of Selenium.

I recommend you park the SRV beside the trees, but don't bomb it. After divebombing (head straight down, release the mines, pull up), land as quick as you can beside the srv, jump out, board it and scoop as fast as you can.

Instead of using the SRV, I recommend hovering your ship around 800m and deploying collector limpets. The altitude is to prevent your limpets from crashing into brain trees.

That's a bit like going fishing with dynamite.

I still like the good 'ol SRV.

I can fill 0-150 in ~6M with the SRV vs 2 and a half minutes with limpets.
