🌑 Elite Dangerous Mining Guide - Laser Mining Platinum - Elite Dangerous Beginners Money Making
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 сер 2024
- Welcome to this Elite Dangerous mining guide. We will be mining platinum in this Elite Dangerous beginners money making guide.
To begin your Elite Dangerous mining carrier you will start off in the Type 7 Transport. Instead of running goods doing trade missions we will actually be laser mining for all the space bucks in this Elite Dangerous Beginners Money Making Guide.
All you need to do is scrape together 26 million which can be done following this guide here - • 🗺️ 2021 Elite Dangerou...
This takes about an hour in Elite Dangerous with the new exploration rebalance.
Type 7 Cheaper build.

We are mining Platinum at system - Col 285 Sector KM-V d2-106
Planet - 5A
The double platinum hotspot in this Elite Dangerous Mining Guide is very easy to find! Once you get into the system.
Don't forget to check if any fleet Carriers want to buy Osmium. They usually pay 200k per ton same as the Platinum. Which means you get your Elite Dangerous beginners money even faster!
**UPDATE**
After this video went live tons of FC's have swarmed the system! They are now competing for your sale! The buy price they are paying on average per ton is now 220k! This is good news for you if you choose to take the fast money route!

\o/ thank you Hawkes Gaming, I like how you dont fluff, you get to the point and talk about what needs to done to get the job done. Hope you have a great New Years ahead!
yeap, i have been playing 3 weeks now, and he is the dude who goes straight to the point. He also answers noob questions, so he's not another yt super star.
NOTE: When deciding between selling platinum to a station vs a fleet carrier please be aware that selling to fleet carrier does not increase your trader rank.
That is a good point. When I was mining painite pre mining nerf and offing it to carriers I would of been elite in trade 5 times over if not saleing to carriers but saleing to carriers is so much quicker and easier.
@@robblevins6009 it depends whether you want money or you want some trade rank for me it's better if I get both cause I'm like 3 batches away from getting elite in a t9 heavy lmao
I'm in an Asp Explorer and can jump 20ly. I just end up warping to Isherwood (1jump) I'm still having a hard time finding plat rocks. Even in the hotspots.
Just spent a lovely afternoon here, thanks for the advice. One thing though, ...instead of selling at a carrier, I went to nearby system of Njambula (only 17ly). Kotzebue Terminal (which has large landing pads) was paying 262k for Platinum and 245k for Osmium. Plus had complete outfitting, fuel and repair without the markup. Definitely a good place to try.
Now it's only like 160k for each :(((
@@alexdouglas2 Damn, I was just about to head over there. The usual carriers arent buying lol.
Hawkes! I quite literally made a commitment to platinum mining yesterday and saw there to be no up to date guides besides the ones on discord. This video, you have no idea how good the timing hit me. Thank you!
I'm well past needing this but that's all thanks to your previous guides. I just wanted to say how much I appreciate you, your guides and that you're still doing this for newer people.
Me, who already has a mining python: this is where the fun (grind) begins.
Try solo massacre missions 40 mil for 30 pirates its around 50 mil after bounties
for me fun {grind} part begins....when i instaled the game
@@lucasomeister2823 the grind is alot better compared to years ago
That’s why I got a Krate mk 2. It’s more fun
@@technoviking2415 What how? Even when stacking from 3 factions I barely get 20 mil including bounty with my cutter that melts hazardous enemies.
FYI Commander! This video has caused a lot of FC's to appear in system. They are now competing with each other for your sale! The price on average is now 235k per ton!
I’ve been getting 232k. It’s great 👍
@@Forgetthehorrorhere1 I know right hahahahaha! Competition over your platinum is a good thing!
@@HawkesGaming Hey, thanks for the reply. I'm honoured, love your channel. I'd exclusively buy from you if you weren't the space version of Tony Stark (space billionare) :-)
@@Forgetthehorrorhere1 LOL every little bit of space bucks helps. =)
hey Hawkes Gaming, thanks for the great video again, quick question, D2EA recommend mines in Has Rez site for 100% more fragments per roid in his newest video. But this mean you have to bring weapons/ shields (less cargos).
So which method would you find more efficient? Thanks
Thanks dude this is invaluable to new players like me. Tried the core mining but couldn't find and deep core asteroids so I'm switching to this.
"We're going to mining on a budget"
Oh boy!
"...with a type 7"
Oh...boy...
Lmao
Right…
friends and I just started this week and my type 7 transporter with 96 tons of storage is everyones envy, then i watch this video ;-;
i got a type 9 in like 15 hours
Now that I've done my first mining run I'm back to share an important tip of my own-- do not, under any circumstances, set up your ship to do only laser mining. I was cruising through the ring looking for rocks that had something useful... came across a rock with low-temp diamonds. Millions of credits sitting there right in front of me and I couldn't touch it because all I had was lasers.
I was out laser mining the only platinum I found was a platinum core :(
“Kicked in the space mouth by the space bad guys” lmfao, that made my day. O7 CMDR
Bravo to the King of Making Space Cheddar - you’ve nailed it once again, Your Highness! Back in June when I got ED, you taught me to core mine for VOs, then pillage LTDs in Borann. I sit now content with my Fleet Carrier, many Cutters and a stinky wedge of cheese in my current account. My sister, and my niece got ED for Xmas - I just sent them this video and will be winging up with them this evening to check out this new GrindSpot. Thanks for all you do for our community. 👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks Hawkes, all ,made sense when I realised I had to scan the inner ring for the double hotspot.
I just got elite for Christmas with 2 friends and I'm having a lot of fun!
wow santa gives you 2 fiends fo christmas.... i got socks...
I wish I had friends who played ED
@@lucasomeister2823 hahahaha lol
That's awesome Commander!!!
I got it for a friend on sale for 7 bucks. First 3 min he played he got motion sick and almost threw up and never played again sadly.
Not going to lie, I really miss the LTD days in the Borann system. I feel bad for the noobs that will never get to experience that level of profit. 😂
Ahhh the days, laid off cause of Covid, waking up every morning bright and early, brewing a cup of coffee and doing 2 to 3 runs in Borann saving up for my glorious fleet carrier. I'm glad I was able to participate in such a glorious era of Elite.
I started off a week or so ago trying to mine Ltd and never found a single one
@@martinmc0950 LTDs are relatively hard to find which is why in the gold rush we were talking about people would aim for triple overlapping hotspots as single hotspots can lead to very disappointing results as you unfortunately learned. I haven't checked out the spot in this video but it definitely seems like the best option right now, especially for a newer player such as yourself. Best of luck!
@@thunderboltll ah, well too late, I’m 2k ly out from sol heading for colonia
Yeah - but it was completely distorted. Mining is back where it should be. I can do a mapped mining run of Painite and get 512 tons in about 45 mins. Which is still about 130 million in an hour. Which is still good money! Even for a new player, a good 3 or 4 hours of gentle painite mining in a stock Type 9 - and you've got a Conda... Still WAAAAAAAAY easier than back in 2014 when it took me fooooookin ages to afford my first python...
Great video. Only downside is I think the newbies coming in (myself included) need to play the game first before upgrading. Not so much "grinding" as get used to the world of Elite Dangerous. It's like what's called "Ab Initio" pilot training. Taking a complete newbie from no knowledge to co-pilot of large commercial jet in record time, not letting the new pilot have the experiences that a normal pilot working their way up would have.
In the past year UA-cam has had many "make 250 mil/hr, make 500 mil/hr" videos. Ok, in a few hours, they can get an Anaconda. Where is the fun and Elite Dangerous world discoveries that playtime brings? It took me 5 months to make 1billion. The road I took doing pax/cargo/commodities/courier jobs gave me time in the Elite Dangerous world to experience it, not just getting to the end in a day. Like I said, though, really like your vids!
I'm not sure what I'm missing but I haven't seen a single rock with Platinum, and I haven't seen the doubled up hotspot
This is INSANE! I started at one extraction point and worked towards the other one and after a few KMs pretty much EVERY rock had at least 20% platinum and like you said a lot had 50-60%. Took me about half an hour to fill the 96T hold on my AspX spitting out a trail of limpets behind me like dead flies! Also sold for 265K per ton in the same system at Carrier Q6G-27Z (Dante's Rest)
Almost 26 million per < 1 hour mining run all-in in my AspX build, I'm gonna be SO rich! Glorious Python next!
Edit: Got my Python so making 50+ mill per run, but honestly, I don't see any point in core mining, takes WAY longer to fill the hold than laser mining and the best price for void diamonds is like 400-500K, nope I might change up the materials I collect but Ima stick to laser mining
him in his decked out Type 7: this garbage scout
me in my naked Type-6
absolutely love your videos man. I like your vibe, very laid-back and humorous. Keep it up!!!
THIS WAS SO GOOD!!! yesterday I was doing your other mining guide but didn't find a single LTD lol
Yeah LTD got nerfed bigtime.
I been mining in that double for quite some time. Since all the "Money making "mining" vids on UA-cam were about Painite. Platinum is just more profitable since the nerf. 🤷🏻♂️ I'm glad to see I was on the right path lol I'm there In my cutter rn. (Literally ALL thanks to you btw. I'm 2-3 months into this game. My second week playing was the mining nerf and restructure. Your videos helped me massively that first week. By the second I had a python and Anaconda. Then mining got kicked in the face and I was forced to forge my own path. You taught this young commander well, good sir. Elite in Trade and Expl. Now and not far off in combat. 😁😁 You created a monster 👹 😂 o7 Commander. And many thanks. We appreciate you.
One thing to mention though...I have never had so many interdictions from pirates (empty cargo, empty refinery, no cartographic data) in a system. I counted at least 15 interdictions in 10 hours of game time. No warning, nothing...just trying to get me out of super cruise. So take care CMDRs!!!
*Smiles in Type-9*
Just got a new VR headset after my G2 went bad, its time to mine.
Alright I have definitely learned from months of first hand experience: Learn a whole bunch about the subject of Hawke's videos before watching. I went back and watched his newest beginner guide again over a month later and it made way more sense. That video points to this one. Down another rabbit hole I go before I come back to it.
Did laser mining in my type 7 back in the day at borann, but probably didn't get a 4a power distributor, because I clearly remember how much of a pain it was and switched to a python as soon as I could.
It's just such a pity that such a glorious looking space brick is just a stepping stone towards an actually useful ship :/
Ah, in Borann mining low temp diamonds on that triple overlap. Good times.
Just got this game and i don't understand anything, but i love this game
Its a work of art indeed. Git gud cmdr o7
I just picked this up last weekend after a co worker was shocked I’d never heard of it. Still have no idea what’s bound to what or what i should be binding. Though I’m enjoying the learning curve
Thank you.
As I wrote yesterday, I'm an olde 36yr Elite veteran but never mined before. I purchased my Cutter on your recommendation but I've got no credits to fit out as yet but I'm getting on with it.
I'm going to take your advice and purchase an added and work my way up as you've already demonstrated in other great helpful videos.
Thank you again.
Passenger missions still makes more and it's way easier and reliable. They really need to buff mining again, right now I only do it when I get tired of the monotony of passenger missions.
No, they don't. You won't make there 150mil\h. And mining much more interesting for new players, cuz you'll do fast trader elite rank for jameson memorial. And it much less boring, compared to passenger missions.
Seeing LTDs at 200k a ton is depressing as hell
umm it's 350K haha
I miss the glory days of 1.6 mil per ton
@@Tozo97 same, I want that back.
Remember..........Borann 😭
@@Fresh_Baklava F
Save us RNGesus!
Thanks Hawkes! Not just for this video, but for everything you do for the community all year long. It's so much easier for me to link one of your guides on a particular subject, than to try to explain the process over and over again to new players when they ask questions.
Have a Happy New Year, Commander! o7
Let's hope the new one is a little better than this one has been!
Go with 3 mining lasers and 1 abrasion blaster. I came across a lot of rocks with surface deposits. And yes, screw core mining right now. Do platinum.
Col 285 sector km-v d2-106
2nd blue ring planet make sure u scan the inner ring. There's 2 rings on that planet. Once u get mining come sell to me my carrier paying top dollar 243k per ton ship name is ---Buyin Gold/Pald/Plat. Shid id---- XOM-1HL
@@spydermanx2000 Spyderman, I can't thank you enough for this, guy. I've looked everywhere, I've spent literally two afternoons mining, trying to find even a hint of platinum. Have been looking up how to find the exact place and only get as far as 5A...nobody explained that there were two sets of rings to be scanned. Really can't thank you enough, I'd looked all over the place. Made about 4 mill in the past two days, just now made 16 mill in one run, thank you thank you! So damn much. For real.
@@mikehudson7451 anytime bro glad it helped u out. I had the same issue looked for hours till I found it hahahah
Hell, yeah! Thanks CMDR Hawkes! Was wondering what I was going to do with my Glorious Python after the rebalancing (mining nerf)
I'm watching this for probably the 4th/5th time, and I've only just realised the pirate scanning you at 0:45 is a callback to the merchant trader in the original Startopia :-)
Love how Fdev is just slaughtering every form of money making.
Erm, they finally buffed combat!!! Get some wing missions and make 300mill per hour bro!
Yeah plat is like 50k last I checked
damn it... rip my quiet little system. 100 carriers here now.
they really should limit it to like 10 per system 100 is overkill lol
Road 2 riches + amonia worlds event and triple money from discoveries bought me Anaconda and Krait II without even considering to go mining and Elite in exploring was a nice bonus. :)
Well i did this build, did my first jump kicked in FSD, throttled up, started to over heat, came out of hyperspace and ploughed into the sun, burning up, system, shields shitting its self, cargo hatch malfunctioned, lost all my limpets down to 40% hull integrity.....
And this is what you recommend???
I love this spot, never fails, just finished mining the platinum, but the two carriers are not buying, gonna try the nearby system.
Got 394 tons! 😁 Close to 100 mill.
Get a type-9 and earn up to 16 million per one 20 LY trip. I wish it had a trailer that I could connect to expand cargo to make absolute killing. One 20 LY trip is 5 minutes max. I did not touch mining yet, so maybe there are goldmines to be discovered.
About the only way to consistently make money with mining now. Prices on Void Opals and LTDs fluctuate too much to justify the effort needed for deep core mining. I unfortunately am part of that group of noobs that missed out on the LTD rush a few months ago, and got into the tail end of the Painite rush. At least the Painite rush helped pay for my Python, Krait Phantom and Krait Mk 2. Currently struggling to get money to outfit my Anaconda and Corvette with A grade modules. And I hate passenger missions. Too many difficult or wanted customers.
Robigo passengers to Sirius Atmospherics have never gotten me interdicted, not once, and that's pretty good money. What difficulties are you facing with those runs?
I always take those Criminals, after many many runs I had my first scan. Just popped a heat sink and thats it.
Yeah that too, pop a heatsink when you get scanned by random NPCs and it'll cancel it out
@@kyleeon8717 Was speaking in general about passenger missions with the few I checked out. I might check out Robigo when I am back in the bubble in need of coin. Thanks to other for the heatsink suggestion. Never knew that.
theres never any platinum in the platinum hotspots. never any painite in the painite hotspots. What am I missing?
I’m new but Whenever I go to a hot spot I don’t see any of whatever mineral it is I tried going far from where I dropped out of super cruise but that didn’t help what am I doing wrong
😍thank you for the build. now i have something to save my money on !
Not sure what I missing but I had absolutely no luck with this or the core mining. I followed the 2021 best start guide without a hitch up to the asp explorer. Kitted it for core mining tried for almost two hours only finding one core that wasnt the right kind. So, went back and did more road to riches to buy and outfit this ship. And again wandered around in this hotspot never finding a single platinum asteroid.

It might be time to knock the dust off of the Cutter and do some platinum mining
Robigo passenger missions, using a Python at Robigo Mines where there is no system security check on your ship. Not as fast at earning as those big ships but no risk of getting shot at by system security (if you are carrying illegal passengers), can earn nearly 60 million credits from four runs. Of course, this is OP (overpaid) too, just as like mining and overdue for nerfing.
Hi Hawkes, please consider updating with this info:
docs.google.com/document/d/1rAs-1CustmNu5tAVoi75ETxDQP4p9PSveYweMyP0i60/edit?usp=sharing
Cobra MkIII can be a much cheaper beginning mining ship, and then you can rather use an AspX for 25 mil. The advantages with these are that they use 2D lasers and the builds provided don't kill the PD or overwhelm the collectors.
Feel free to join the ED community discord if you have any more questions: discord.gg/elite
As of Tuesday April 6th this spot is still amazing for Platinum, plenty of it. Carriers still here and buying for 200-250k.
Carriers seemed to have stopped buying platinum near here currently
@Billy Leen There are a few in Rindrani system that are buying for 240k. I keep an eye on eddb.io and check to see if the prices were recently updated.
@@randomgenericname6923 thanks, yeah I found carrier N8H-TQZ in the Rindrani system a few minutes ago!
does this video still apply? I scouted the system and the ring location 5A doesn't exist.
Because of his video lmao
Never thought i would say solo massacre missions are just as good as mining now
Yeah I have found two systems that generate massacre missions for the same pirates in the same system.
This means across the two mission-giving systems I have 6-8 missions on-going at the same time (some wing, some solo) = 3M-4M per target (plus whatever the bounties are).
The system where you do the killing spawns multiple massacre targets close by and I never run out, but it also has lots of res sites if I fancy a change.
Also it's High Security so the local security forces help me enormously - but on the flip side I do miss the odd target because security gets in first!)
Generally I'm getting in excess of 20 kills an hour (I mean, one of the Threat 4 Targets is 6 or 7 kills and they take 10-15 mins or so. The rest is travel time) = 60M-80M (plus bounties).
Not quite as profitable as Robigo runs or mining, but also not mind-numbingly boring!!!
@@Banthah I tried getting few missions at once against same faction, kills count only for one mission at once, when its done starts counting towards next mission. What am I doing wrong then? so Instead 3-4m per target its more like 400-600k including their bounty
@@Niipazik Ok, so it depends on who is giving you the missions. If it’s the same faction giving you the missions, then yes, you have to complete them one after the other.
But if you can get the same missions from different factions, one pirate kill counts towards each mission.
So, example. You have 3 missions to kill 10 pirates, given to you by the same faction. This means you have to kill 30 pirates.
But if you have 3 missions to kill 10 pirates, given to you by 3 different factions, you only have to kill a total of 10 pirates to complete them all.
I hope that helps.
The trick is finding a system or systems that have many different factions offering the same massacre missions - this is gold!
Good luck!
@@Banthah gotta try that :) thanks a lot
@@Niipazik I currently have 7 missions running concurrently, to take out around 50 pirates each. This is gonna bring in about 175M, plus bounties (another 5M or so). Will take about 90 mins in the HazRes. If you want to Wing up, we can share missions and this becomes an even bigger payout, for both of us. Let me know if you’re interested
So...is it's your fleet carrier that is parked there buying at a discounted price to help everyone out? Because that would be awesome! That one you showed didn't look like the Ronald McDonald house. LOL
My FC is there but not buying anything. The funny thing is though mroe FC are there now buying and the price competing has begun. The prices are now on average 220 mill per ton.
Thanks Hawkes am mentoring 2 new players. This will help a lot.
I traveled to this planet to look for these platinum deposits but I’m struggling to find asteroids with platinum in it, what am I doing wrong
dude i was going to get a thrust master to start and work towards getting either a warthog or rhino hotas controls and i ended up getting a great deal for a rhino and have been in love since my purchase.
If your on console don't go out here, this planet doesn't have a ring.
Thanks for the space video. I space liked it. I appreciate the space info. Definitely worth a space sub.
great guide and unlike eve online......no need to join an alliance or a corp or worrya bout getting ganked (in solo) i havbe about 20 mil so far with road to riches just on the sfe side might make a few mil more with it and then go for the 26 mil type 7 buuild thanks!
Is the type 9 heavy worth it to grind for the elite trade rank of mining platinum or painite please right a good hotspot for painite
Thanks for the guide on getting those space bucks commander! o7
When I jump into the Platnem hotspots, none of the asteroids are containing Platnem. Am I doing something wrong??
I'm having the same problem
Same
Same here
Make sure that you check out the A ring not the B. A ring is close to the planet and scan it. There are the platinum hotspots that contain the platinum.
not all of them do but a lot of them do, just take some limpets and check each rock out
A little side note, its fine if there is still minerals being process in the refinery, as long as there is nothing but limpets in the cargo. Bad guy scan you and get disappointed and fly away.
I mine with a keelback. I know; I'm a monster.
Seriously though, I have a fighter to defend me, two medium mining lasers, and two small hardpoints for weaponry.
It's pretty awesome.
I been doing this since the Massive Nerf we jus got. Was doing dbl painite, then it all got nerfed. So I went to plat. And musgravite. Glad to see I was doing the right thing. Lol
Member when void opals were going for 14 million a pop? Good times.
They were going for WHAT?!
Fresh Cmdr here, followed your last guide to find that LTDs were damn hard to find, and prices were... Underwhelming. Still got my Asp Explorer tho and will use this new guide to get my first python :) I had to resort to high security bounty hunting in the end, but got about 45mil now :)
Yeah the LTD nerf was pretty darn brutal back then.
Thanks for the vids btw dude, I like your chill comical delivery. I spotted your Space Cheddar FC in my GLORIOUS new Python, but wasn't able to land :(
@@kindredrivers4008 Thanks for mentioning that. I had it on lock down when I was giving the prize money away yesterday. I must have forgot to open it back up for peeps to land.
Must be doing something wrong. Hit the hotspot, 200km away and started hitting every rock. Not a single platinum.
On my map it showed two platinum hot spots just a little apart. Hit the yellow and zip.
You should go for the darker spot right between them, then you'll get twice the amount, assuming they're close enough together.
Same here, not one ounce of platinum!!!
id do missions and scan planets til i got a krait phantom, then run to an imp bi-mission courier zone, and unlock clipper then buy a laser lord clipper and a full mine suite clipper:)
what is a prospector like idk how to do this Like I obviously see what you're doing buy idk how to get any of this stuff unlucky :/
Prospector is an optional internal module called prospector limpet controller. Equip your ship with one and don't forget the limpets ( prospector and collector use the same limpets ).
did the system get nerfed, there was no plat in the hotspots/
Checked today its still there 2 plat hotspot literally on top of each other.
i needed this guide. thanks!
What am I doing wrong? Is this patched or something? I haven't been able to find 1 piece of platinum in an hour!
I haven't found a single rock been in the system for 2 hours :( just gold and osmium. What am I doing wrong?
Same here I idea how to Id them unless I blast it lol
Col 285 Sector KM-V d2-106
Planet - 5A doesnt have a ring?
Its the Ringed gaz giant right beside it, for some reason it also has the name "5 a Ring" on the hud.
Make sure you ping the small part (Inner part) of the ring, not the large part.
@@darkyan_1653 thank you very much
Platinum is nerfed down to 235K - 260K
Thanks for making these videos. I tried playing this years ago and ran into a brick wall. I'm still very early in the game, but I'm having better luck so far. Anaconda is the goal...
What point are you at now? Perhaps r2r is a good option for you!
Pretty well. Been taking my time, so not in the Conda yet, but Road to Riches 100% got me into my Python, and the rest is history. I'm waiting to get the Anaconda until I have more engineers unlocked though
@@crazyshak4827 Cool, cool. Followed the r2r until I got enough for an asp kitted out for core mining.
That: "Committing HairyCarry" tho lol
Alright so... Memorial day weekend this weekend, and probably gonna rain here in Carolina Saturday, and Sunday so I'm probably gonna be doing this for awhile. Hopefully I won't have to make a bunch of jumps to get to the system.
thank you so much I've needed an updated tutorial thanks
I went to this system Col 285 Sector KM-V d2-106, 5th planet from the sun, scanned the rings, looked for Platinum hotspot, flew in and prospected 30 rocks and cant find a single bit of platinum anywhere. What am I doing wrong?
Spent all day trying to find platinum at a hotspot didn’t find one rock with it
I took my challenger to this location I had it combat build and I could not find a station to buy ship or mining tools
Just started playing. Have a whooping 13 hours in the game of just courier and delivery missions. Want to get into mining. How should I go about it? Or should I just keep doing what Im doing until I have a certain amount of money? Do you have a straight beginner guide from day 1? Also I like this guide! I tried the tutorial and it took me a minute to figure out how to scoop up the minerals lol!!
My update: of the handful of FCs boasting that they 'buy plat' in their names, just two are actually buying, and for about 170,000c, the average. It's better than a kick in the teeth, but it's not the attractive prospect it was, especially as I now have an FC of my own to feed.
And obviously, I can't get into the system with my own carrier now.
I've gone around the planet like 5 times now and still can't find the double hotspot. Yes i have thr surface scanner my only thought would be mabey it's not there on ps4? Any help
Planet 5 have 2 rings, I had the same problem. Make sure You hit inner close to planet ring with surface scanner.
www.reddit.com/r/EliteMiners/comments/kcygbm/col_285_sector_kmv_d2106_platinum_mining_map/ check there for more of guide of that guy how to find it and how looks like.
Arkadiusz Stachurski thanks cmdr. I just had this same question.
Hyades Sector Db-x d1-112 has platinum hotspot with a fleet carrier 30ls away that buys it for 250k.
nice guide but dont you mean planet 5 not 5a its the one with the rings
okay thanks for this video it is very helpful because i am totally new to mining in ed a i start with python
I'm not understanding...don't you have to have a pulse wave analyzer? Am I just not seeing it in the build there?
God I hate class 1 Lazer's 😒 But because of you I've gotten a python fully equipped for mining because I got tired of swapping modules around
I have the same exact build as shown in the best version of the type 7 but I get nowhere near 30+ LY unladen. I’m more in the range of 25 if I drop the shield boosters.
Big fan of your videos! Just a quick question...in Odyssey there are no double spots on this planet. Is this the case because it shows differently in Horizons?

@HawkesGaming thanks for the awesome guide for starters but ran into a problem- was planning on selling to a fleet carrier in the system but I've been to 2 different ones and I can't do anything when docked with them - not even refuel
So if say I use a type9 for sheer profit, I can safely bank enough to pretty much by whatever I’d want in a matter of days (edit) theres a double on the outer rings that carries allot of silver and gold, also some painite
I spent over an hour here and didn't find a single rock with any plat. What gives? I also didn't see any overlapping platinum hotspots. I used the DSS and only see single hotspots. Why?
How much better is this place than Parrot's Head Sector EL-Y d83
After my surface scanner fail on the LTD hot spot I will try this one as I just cant seem to manually drop in the right spot. I can see the three spots but no orange circles on the rings I read its a bug so I will try this spot so want a python :-) farmed 30 mill bounty hunting this should just put me in the right spot to get it :-) if my scanner does not bug on the scan.
I am so terrible at core mining. Hopefully I do better with this lol
Only been playing for less than two weeks. I've been mining the same platinum hotspots at GCRV 1568 for hours every day. All together probably over a thousand rocks scanned within the hotspot and I haven't seen platinum once
you have to mine in a platinum spot that is overlapping with another platinum spot. Those "hot" spots aren't very hot by themselves. I've made the same mistake
@@totalobliteration4554 I didn't know a single planet can have multiple rings. I also didn't know metal rich rings are only for core mining I was completely wasting my time lol.
Appreciate the advice on overlaps though I'll keep my eye out for them.
Am I missing something? At the exact same spot, 15min of launching probes and havent found a single rock with platinum... EDIT: 2 hours of rock hopping. ZERO platinum. DRY HOLE.
Same. I hopped in and got one platinum core right away, since then with scans I ran through all my limpets and not a single platinum astroid
