Discovering a few fine points for making core mining slightly easier. I took some screen caps of a bunch of asteroid render forms from various angles and distances. I waited until I had one confirmed as being 'splodable and put all of those stills in a folder by themselves. Then I made copies of those (correct) images and copies of a bunch of wrong ones and made a sort of flashcard set... I'm getting fairly good at being able to spot the crackable ones from long range now. That cuts way way down on the time and prospector limpits I waste chasing down the wrong asteroid shapes. I've also noted that crackable asteroids always have a fair amount of spin... which means that if it isn't spinning or isn't spinning enough, I can ignore it even if I can't see the shape clearly. ...and if you line up perpendicular to the axis of rotation, you can use the asteroid's spin to bring the fissures to you instead of trying to fly around chasing them down. This makes it possible to hit every fissure on the asteroid with a minimally explosive charge, decrease item destruction and increase yield. ...all within the time allowed for detonation. In fact, the detonation time is very satisfactory for a leisurely pace if you let the asteroid spin do the work of lining up your shots. I also try to line up with the asteroid with a fair amount of empty space behind me so I can just back up blind without worrying too much about hitting anything. Sometimes the surface deposits on the broken bits can be hard to find through the dust cloud... The individual deposits can be selected in the contacts panel to make them show up in your navigation scanner and get you looking in the right direction.
Also night vision is your friend, it lets you easily see through the dust cloud and also lets you spot fissures really easily as they're pretty much glowing then. Also using eddb.io allows you to look for the station that buys your materials for the highest price, no matter, that goes for every type of mining. it may take some time to get to each of the different stations just to get the most money out of your mining trip but it can be especially worth it if you've either mined a ton of resources of one type or anything deep core mining.
Agreed! I just started playing ED in Jan 2020 and I can't count how many mining vids I have watched. I spent hours playing around, just trying to figure out abrasion blasters. This helps me tons (heh), THANKS :)
This is the first guide on mining that I've watched which makes any kind of sense. That was far from the information overload of all of the others. Bravo sir.
Here's a tip from one noob to all the others... build your mining ship to do all three styles. It doesn't cost much more, most ships have adequate hardpoints, and it will make you more money. 1) You never know what kind of rock you're going to find. I came across a rock with low-temp diamonds in it. Couldn't do anything with it because I followed the standard advice, "start out with laser mining" and didn't have a way of cracking the rock open. I missed out on potentially millions of credits simply because I didn't put the seismic cannon on my ship. 2) Some rocks can be mined multiple ways. It is possible to laser the surface, fire subsurface missiles, and then crack open the core all on the same rock. Even if it isn't always possible, necessary, or profitable... why deny yourself the ability?
Thank you for being so simple in your explanation. Most other commanders with how-to’s have forgotten what it’s like to be an absolute beginner at this game, and skim over the details. Keep making more please.
Thanks so much for the comment, I'm glad it was helpful! We have a few Elite Dangerous tutorials to check out, here is the playlist ua-cam.com/play/PLYjUQOWyOGqP0YqXiWo5kFx4IANgtkE-S.html
Just got into ED not a week ago but it feels like forever. This is by far the funniest most informative most practical video i've seen in almost 3 days about minning. Great job! (Some two years late tho lol)
It’s never too late. Glad it could help, AND be entertaining! Don’t forget to check out our playlist, as well as the video on the best mining ships in ED ua-cam.com/video/hRRRxcldzHM/v-deo.html
It's an old vid but still relevant, thank you man. I've been on more than a year break from elite after grinding all ships and engineering, triple elite. I'm back to mine, your video was a massive help. Subbed
@@NuLevelNerds I have 2400 plus hours on Xbox and PC around 1200. Xbox is where I'm triple. That's why I took a year plus off and used to enjoy old mining days, this new mining seems cool, Except I still can't get the rocks to split. Maybe only certain rocks, or something I'm doing wrong cause the charge just bounces off the rocks. Needless to say I'm back to laser mining because I got a bit annoyed haha
Don’t blame you. You need to find fissures and target them directly by moving your ship in to alignment for subsurface detonation. Surface mining does have a higher yield overall anyways, so detonation mining best for the boom boom
Solid video with some good tips. One thing to point out: it looks like your seismic charge meter is in the red every time you go to detonate them, resulting in you only breaking 2 pieces loose. If you get it that graph to stay in the blue, I usually break off 10-15 chunks. Also, if you do find that you’ve exceeded your yield range, you can manually select the seismic charge in the contacts tab and disarm it, so you don’t ruin the whole asteroid. I found your section in n subsurface missile very helpful. Thanks again! 🤘🏻
Ahhh you are right, we did red out during the musical explosions. At that time we were actually just grabbing footage of asteroids exploding and wanted to make sure we got the boom, we didn't even collect what was dispensed. During the tutorial section we made sure to keep things in the blue for the demonstration.Great eye, thanks for the tip!
Thank you for the vid. I have not been able to figure out just when to release the trigger for the Displacement Missle. You finally made clear to me what I have been doing wrong. Thanks again.
Really well done mate! Took it from the very start to the very end, not just targeting a single method like other videos. Deploying the specific hardpoint you're talking about at the time was a nice touch too. For a returning player this has been a real help, thanks!
Glad we could provide! We really enjoy putting these together so we’re glad you found it useful. We have others on our channel feel free to check us out!
Welcome to Elite! Yeah, it's nice to not have to brute force the complicated topics sometimes. Glad you found the guide helpful and streamlined the process 👍. Happy flying 07
Loved the Tutorial...No better song for the finale than the 1812 Overture! Had to rewind it just to watch that part twice! Thanks guys! Note: there are 16 total cannon shots in Tchaikovsky's 1812...but I don't think he would mind at all if there were a few more...for the sake of Science!
Just blew open my first asteroid. At first I thought it didn't work, but then it split. Also, for any other new guys; it seems like the mining laser gives small chunks, abrasion and sub surface displacement give bigger chunks, and the exploder thing gives even bigger chunks.
When going for Low Temperature Diamonds take about 3/4, or more, of your cargo hold in collector and prospector limpets. That way you can be pickier with witch astroids to deplete. I use 11 to 13 A3 collector limpets in my T-10 to speed things up. With Void Opals about 1/2 cargo capacity in limpets will do as you only fire a prospector limpet at astroids that light up and have visible fisure paterns. With LTD’s I’ll nail every astroid that lights up but ignore anything under 10% LTD’s hence the need for more limpets. May the cores favor you!
I just recently started playing(I know, late to the game lol), but man I love the mining in this game. It's not the old boring point a laser and go to sleep. Well, there is a laser for one type, but there is more to it than just that lol. I'm only a week old in the game, but my passion right now is hunting down void opals. Not necessarily because they pay so well(mind you I don't mind getting rich quick, like I am), but because of the what you have to do to get them. Hunting them down, cracking the rock open, and using the limpits. Just feels more realistic I guess. Takes a bit of practice to get it right also. Planting those charges on ricks that are tightly surrounded by other rocks can be quite difficult, but makes the payout feel that much better when you get it done.
@@NuLevelNerds you're welcome - I came to see how the sub-surface displacement missile worked because I hadn't figured that out. I got my answer. Out of interest - how long did the 1812 Overture take to sync up to the explosions?
@@1LilDave It took about 3 to 4 hours for that section. Finding the clips in our raw video, arranging them in the order I like, moving them in to place where the explosion and the cuts feel natural... Thanks for noticing :D
Very nice tutorial commander. I do want to add though that if you didn’t know adding a high strength seismic charge to a low size Fissure fills up the detonation yield a heck of a lot faster. It’s the difference of only using 2 or three charges and using 6-8.
Wait... I'm not just here to learn how to blow up rocks. I'm here for the fine technical points of the sub-surface displacement missile launcher. ...nah. BLOW STUFF UP!! Hulk Smash puny astroid. subbed
Oh the fissure have a strength rating you need to match? I've just been eyeballing it this whole time and running on instinct. Good to know theresa way to measure precision!
Lmao I love how dangerous mining with the seismic warheads can be too like goddamn, the blast took his shields out and I thought that was a respectable distance No space OSHA to give you a slap on the wrist if you're doing it wrong, you learn from your mistakes out there
Not a stupid question at all. They don't do a good job of explaining it. The mining laser kind of "strip mines" the surface. The other three mining tools focus on the specifically material rich spots of asteroids, which can be few and far between. There are always trace elements on the surfaces of asteroids regardless of any other deposits so the strip mining is frequently more efficient because you don't need to go hunting though the belt for a viable asteroid. Hope this helps
You don't match the charge strength to that of the fissure. It merely means the strength of the fissure to resisting explosives a low strength fissure will have a greater impact if you put a high yield charge in it a average will have a little less impact on the yield gauge and the high strength will have the least.
Ah yea, by the end we are actually just blowing stuff up for the sake of the music. We maxed out every charge to make sure that it went boom good. During the tutorial you would have heard us describe and demonstrate proper charge process
Thanks for this bud, been trying to figure out LTD mining all day and this helped a bunch. I've managed to get to a triple hotspot, but boy does it take some time to actually find a rock.with multiple LTD deposits. Sub surface missiles I'm finding hard to use also lol, a lot of failures. Gonna try and hope for the best, find a fissure ridden rock full of LTDs hopefully lol
@@NuLevelNerds Been going at it all day, already made 120 mil just from void opals, which weirdly enough were in a triple LTD spot haha. Seismic charges, double 3A collectors and nearly 100 cargo space in an ASP explorer has done it ;)
I keep getting yellow/orange rocks without any LTD subsurface deposits. Any tips? I'm at the new LTD3 because it's where I was already when I swapped to subsurface and despite that I have 8 tons in 45min+. I can't find any with sub LTD and I'm regretting leaving lasers.
Yes, don’t look for subsurface deposits. The fastest way is just surface mining. As much fun as the other mining techniques are, surface mining the old fashioned way is the fastest
Hello, thanks for the video, and I like your editing ! But I have a question about the core mining. In your examples, it shows all the time in the red zone before u explode them, it's not correct right ?
You are correct. There is an optimal yield threshold that is displayed when reached. Anything over that (in the red) will cause almost all the material being destroyed in the explosion. We weren't actually mining, we just wanted big boomz for the video. lol
Thanks for explaining the displacement Missile. Other than the mining laser, the Seismic Charge Launcher was what I used first. Blowing up an asteroid? It’s why I got Elite in the first place.
I have found bugs with the display in the past, usually just takes reloading the game again. Otherwise make sure you’re not fully charging up each shot.
@@Spike553 Ah yes we've had a similar problem! Mainly when one of us scans an asteroid and the other starts charging it. We'll also get where we can't see the graph at all
Mhh.. I don't get if the pulse wave scanner is something I need to purchase, or if I can't find it due to "bad translation reasons" in the german version of the game. I just travelled to two stations that should sell the hardware according to google, but both did not have it :(
By default turrets will auto aim at targets. They are not as powerful as fixed or gimballed but can still be useful as they will engage a target in their range. Make sure you have the power to support them since they also fire with less down time
@@NuLevelNerds Nice. I know that Guardian Turreted Weapons are effectively just weaker Fixed weapons as they only become Turreted if you have a human crew member to manually aim them. I wondered if the Mining Turrets were the same.
You put too many seismic charges in. Stop when the blue check mark lights up. If you go until it's red then you need to disarm a charge to bring it back down.
dang it... I just cannot land a successfull seizmic charge on the damn ASSterrorID successfully planted just like 2 out of ugh... 50? wtf... Any guides on that part? they all keep bouncing off the asteroid :/
Even though the video explains it, I don’t have any credits to get what he’s saying to get. Can anyone help me out? I’m not good at this game and it’s all confusing to me.
Start with doing cargo hauling missions from stations, it’s a great way to build up cash while learning how to move about the game. Mining is more time consuming than profitable. After that I found bounty hunting missions to be fun!
Haha that’s the first time someone’s said that, but you’re right. Wearing headphones when the detonators go off, hearing the crackle of particles impacting the hull. I should have kept one in with nothing but that
A good tutorial. However, cut the music. It's a distraction, and at times it interferes with your speech. If you are going to do it. Fade it in and out between your speaking lines.
I thought i was doing something wrong. Turns out the game is just shit :/ hit fissures dead on with the missile and drilling only came up once out of 2 modules worth of ammo.
@@NuLevelNerds I got the hang of it but it's literally hit or miss. Sometimes it cuts out drilling when it rotates to the back of the asteroid, and sometimes it carries on 🤷🏻 I found laser mining the best way. But thats gonna change when they rebalance it to make it more in line with deep core being the most lucrative.

Thanks for explaining the displacement Missile. Other than the mining laser, the Seismic Charge Launcher was what I used first. Blowing up an asteroid? It’s why I got Elite in the first place.
Watching in 2021, guess I am going to water a number of limits getting the hang of this.
Learn in the cheap vehicles, buyback can be hell
I think the seismic charge is bugged. I deploy 1 weak charge and immediately it hits the red zone.
I have found bugs with the display in the past, usually just takes reloading the game again. Otherwise make sure you’re not fully charging up each shot.
Were you in the same instance with another CMDR? Fdev has yet to fix this bug.
@@Spike553 Ah yes we've had a similar problem! Mainly when one of us scans an asteroid and the other starts charging it. We'll also get where we can't see the graph at all
Great Grand Finale
Everyone loves a good kaboom
Mhh.. I don't get if the pulse wave scanner is something I need to purchase, or if I can't find it due to "bad translation reasons" in the german version of the game. I just travelled to two stations that should sell the hardware according to google, but both did not have it :(
My question was on Fixed or Turreted? Will Turret's auto aim or are they Fixed unless you an persuade someone to man them and aim for you?
By default turrets will auto aim at targets. They are not as powerful as fixed or gimballed but can still be useful as they will engage a target in their range. Make sure you have the power to support them since they also fire with less down time
@@NuLevelNerds Nice. I know that Guardian Turreted Weapons are effectively just weaker Fixed weapons as they only become Turreted if you have a human crew member to manually aim them. I wondered if the Mining Turrets were the same.
Finally good background music
Haha glad you like it. We should use more classical music in the future 👍
country music while mining with a cup of coffee on the side, perfect
I always feel that way too
Video stopped 40 secounds in idk if its a windows prob or what but would not go any farther. can here audio though but i wanted to see the video.
Sorry that’s happened for you. I just checked on a different account and it’s showing up fine for me. I wish I could be of more help
Yep, that seismic blues warhead sounds great at 4:00. What is that song? :D
Great tutorial btw!
Thanks for liking the tutorial! That is the 1812 Overture. Totally works with things blowing up
@@NuLevelNerds I mean the first song in the video and the song at 4:00, when deploying the seismic charge warhead. :)

You put too many seismic charges in. Stop when the blue check mark lights up. If you go until it's red then you need to disarm a charge to bring it back down.
dang it... I just cannot land a successfull seizmic charge on the damn ASSterrorID successfully planted just like 2 out of ugh... 50? wtf...
Any guides on that part? they all keep bouncing off the asteroid :/
Can you record and upload a video? It’d be the easiest way to give feedback for you
Even though the video explains it, I don’t have any credits to get what he’s saying to get. Can anyone help me out? I’m not good at this game and it’s all confusing to me.
Start with doing cargo hauling missions from stations, it’s a great way to build up cash while learning how to move about the game. Mining is more time consuming than profitable. After that I found bounty hunting missions to be fun!
5:43 wat theme is that?
The 1812 Overture, somewhere near the end of it
top vid boss
Thanks Rob!
Good video but the music completely kills the beautiful sound of the asteroid explosion
Haha that’s the first time someone’s said that, but you’re right. Wearing headphones when the detonators go off, hearing the crackle of particles impacting the hull. I should have kept one in with nothing but that
A good tutorial. However, cut the music. It's a distraction, and at times it interferes with your speech. If you are going to do it. Fade it in and out between your speaking lines.
Someone saw V for Vendetta.
I like the asplode
background music slightly too loud thumbs down
My bad thank you for the feedback
The music let turned me away at the beginning.. A guide with distracting music is uselesse to me..
That’s cool, we don’t make tutorials for you. Thanks for checking us out though
I thought i was doing something wrong. Turns out the game is just shit :/ hit fissures dead on with the missile and drilling only came up once out of 2 modules worth of ammo.
Ouch that’s not good
@@NuLevelNerds I got the hang of it but it's literally hit or miss. Sometimes it cuts out drilling when it rotates to the back of the asteroid, and sometimes it carries on 🤷🏻 I found laser mining the best way. But thats gonna change when they rebalance it to make it more in line with deep core being the most lucrative.
Would have been better if you weren’t shouting over awful music
Which music didn't you like?
