No Asteroid Belt

[DrewKo]

I just flew to a new planet. The sector map said there was an asteroid belt with various resource asteroids. After several hours, I have not found one asteroid, resource or otherwise. Any information on the topic would be of great help or is the description just not valid?

Since 8.0 the asteroids are no longer in the belt! :P
They can be all around.
The game just needs a asteroid radar. :)

I have an asteroid belt around starter planet! It is RNG I think. I also had them all vanish. they came back after reload :D

If you dont like to hunt for ore-asteroids. use console command 'map' and they show on the map

Not all servers allow the use of the console, or, at the very least, some commands are disabled. The server that I play on has disabled the MAP command and a few others.

boah, then it can be really painfully to find ore-asteroids I can imagine. good luck

Do they simply spawn or are they already placed? In the space of the planet my base is on, there have been two mineable asteroids. However, when I checked other planets and asteroid belts, I could not find a single mineable roid.

This made me think the asteroids spawned, as I have often been on that planet and in its outerspace when I make trips to the moon.

I think they are alread there because you can reveil them with console command. but they are hard to find with so many of them. after an hour of searching and finding no a single one, I used the console command

I think my game may be bugged. I searched two asteroid belts where they are all clustered together, and there was not a single mineable roid.

Are the asteroid fields suppose to have a dozen or so mineable roids, or is there just one like a needle in a haystack?

I found an iron and a copper asteroid around starter survival planet, but that's about it. Flew around for 15 minutes or so to find the cobalt but decided that was a lost cause. Is there some type of resource finder on the CV's now?

open console and try 'map' command when you are in space. see if any show on map

use 'map hide' to undo 'map' command (hide them again)
