And your hard work has not gone unnoticed! Excellent production, Commander. o7 Stay safe CMDR's.

Fellow Odyssey players it is September 2022 and this guide is still amazing and it works gloriously. I just grinded out all these mats using his methods. I just wanted to give a PSA for the Raw Mats. In the Odyssey client you will no longer see Biological Markers. Instead what you do is activate your surface scanner on the planet, once it is scanned and you are close enough you will find a filter in the middle of the surface scanner screen. Press Q or E (by default) and you will filter through different options on the heat map. Cycle through until you find Crystalline markers, they will pop up as bright blue, land in any blue area and get close to the ground. Once you are close to the ground you will see tiny spikes jutting from the surface, find a patch and land near them. Once you are in your SRV those spikes are actually huge and you will find the resources that Hawkes has depicted. Alternatively, you could launch the game in the Horizon's client and it should look identical to what you see Hawke's do. Lastly, when I first "discovered" the raw materials it tells me I have a max capacity of 100 instead of 150. Exiting to main menu and relogging corrected this for me. But don't be like me and leave the planet with only 100 (max capacity toast and everything) to log in later and realize you have to go back and get the other third. 07 Commanders!

Oh man, I thought I'd wasted all that journey (and all that time exploring the system before landing..) - thanks!!! Also, a better trick is to just use the coordinates from the SRV at each site in the video. This way you get the specific high volume zone. Edit: Nevermind! These don't work anymore. However TheRealSuzuki6 gave some new coords: Polonium : HIP 36601 C1A , Sight doesn't really matter its almost everywhere on the planet as long as you land at a Crystalline shard sight ( use detailed surface scanner then filter for Crystaline shards) Ruthenium : HIP 36601 C1D , -24.6, 105.35 in between the mountains its a bit hard to see so fly low when arriving ! Tellurium : HIP 36601 C3B , 67.00, 131.75 Technitium : HIP 36601 C5A , 3.746, 78.68 Yttrium : Outotz LS-K D8-3 B5A , -1.9216, -145.7013 Antimony : Outotz LS-K D8-3 B5C , -62.4905, 80.2426 Selenium : HR 3230 3 A A, 45.66, -30.49

Hawkes has helped me so much by just watching this video! I've been avoiding the stupid ass engineering stuff because it was just annoying and poorly explained. Thank you for explaining it Hawkes!

Hello Commanders, Read this if you have issues or if you are going to do this for the first time ever!!!!!!!!!! If you play on Odyssey there is a few things different then in this video due to the planettary textures being adjusted.I recently did this run for the first time in Odyssey but have done it many times before in Horizons a long time ago and I noticed the changes. First of all the RAW material planets that Hawkes shows are still good but the sights/signals just will not show up on NAV panel anymore. If you want to farm materials you can now fly to any point on the planet and be lucky to find a spot with shards but this can take a very long time so I will put some coordinates down below with spots where you can fill up at 1 spot in less then 20 Minutes ( even for Selenium) Polonium : HIP 36601 C1A , Sight doesn't really matter its almost everywhere on the planet as long as you land at a Crystalline shard sight ( use detailed surface scanner then filter for Crystaline shards) Ruthenium : HIP 36601 C1D , -24.6, 105.35 in between the mountains its a bit hard to see so fly low when arriving ! Tellurium : HIP 36601 C3B , 67.00, 131.75 Technitium : HIP 36601 C5A , 3.746, 78.68 Yttrium : Outotz LS-K D8-3 B5A , -1.9216, -145.7013 Antimony : Outotz LS-K D8-3 B5C , -62.4905, 80.2426 Selenium : HR 3230 3 A A, 45.66, -30.49 ( you can fill up at 1 sight here) Also the first time you ever get RAW materials your inventory is capped at 100 for some reason... To fix this just collect each material and when it says inventory full go to the main menu and then go back in game and now your inventory will have space for 150 instead of 100. Do this for every RAW material you collect Also if you don't wanna fly all the way out to the Crystalline shards for Raw materials there is Discord servers and Reddit pages that offer free fleet carrier rides there and back! Also for Encoded Data blowing up your ship will not respawn you at the last station you were docked anymore , it will spawn you on the most nearby Fleet carrier or station to where you do so don't blow yourself up. You gonna have to actually fly back to a station with trader now unfortantly. I recommend System: Diaguadri , station: Ray Gateway its really close. Also last tip ,If you can't find 'Military Supercapacitors" then go to a High Grade Emissions site wich has not much time left on it ( 12 mins or less) for some reason I find them way more often here. Yes you will only have a few minutes to farm them once you get there but it is for sure a lot better then trading for them and looking for sites with a lot of time left ! I hope this helps if you have any questions just ask me down below ! o7

All the steps here for copy paste. Notes: Remember to keep stocking up on collection limpets Core dynamics composites & Proprietary Composites Allegiance: Federation Population: High population State: None 1. Scan nav beacon 2. Supercruise to High Grade Emission (at least 25mins left) 3. Collect 3-6 drops of 3 mats (max) 4. Exit to desktop 5. Join the same game mode. 6. Engage FSD and find unidentified signal source. It's the same HGES Military Grade Alloys and Supercapcitors Allegiance: Any Population: High population State: War/Civil War Same instructions as above. Supercapacitor not common. Trade afterwards. Imperial Shielding Allegiance: Empire Population: High population State: None / Election Same instructions as above. Drops a lot.

Thx man, im in my first month of playing ED and this will help. Now im off to watch this a few dozen more times.

Your service will not go unappreciated. There is like absolutely nothing to complain about in this video, its quick and efficient, to the point concice, clear and i think thats enough adjectives. Well done.

I used this video today to actually get a TON of everything. I know you dont play anymore! But im glad you made a video like this. Well you made many but this one really helped me alot. I got like 6 engineer's unlocked just never had MATS to do a damn thing really.

Okay, I just have to say that I'm still fairly new to ED. I just got my first anaconda and outfitted it with (what I could find) the best stuff before engineering. Being newer, engineering has been something I've dreaded simply because of the grind (I'm taking a break from BDO so... you know... I really don't feel like grinding much of anything) after some research and discouraging information in terms of effort, I came across this video. This is, by far, THE single best guide I've found in the last 5 - 7 years of gaming, for any game that I've played. Seriously, it's not too long, everything is linked in the description and the way you've laid it all out is so simple I feel like I can get a couple of things done here-and-there and come back to this when I need to. Hawkes, you really did an incredible job with this. So thank you for making ED a little easier on us noobs :). Great video, 10/10.

Ok, for all of you newbies out there. This is it. This all you need for the engineering parts. Trust when I say that i watch this video and did not understand why do this method but after actually doing it I can guarantee this method is the best by far. Trust I am new to ED and this has helped a lot.

Holy crap! Thank you so much for this! No BS, no mystery, just down and dirty how to.

A massive thank you for making this video, helped me out a hell of a lot

I can only imagine how much time this took for all the ED pioneers to figure these things out. Oh god. Thank you for the great video!

I just started playing ED a week ago and your videos have helped me a ton. This one is another great guide on a complicated aspect of the game. Thank you for sharing this valuable info!!

Super helpful and really appreciate the timestamps for everything too! All the raw material sites were bang on. Thank you for this!

Awesome Guide! Thanks for all the work. I found Bio Site 1 on HIP 36601 C 5 A for Technetium to be great (a good replacement for site 10). Note that the other stars you're aiming for are a ways from where you pop into the system, so, if you need a 20 min break save it for the supercruise. The route out there may be a bit wonky depending on where you leave from. There's some restricted space between it and the bubble.... and as others have said, if you're new like me and can't drive the SRV around from turret mode well, then expect it to take 5x the time it takes CMDR Hawke. Finally, I lucked out and had mats to both repair my SRV and synthesize ammo. I would highly suggest making sure you have a bit on hand before running out when you're out there.

I've been needing to get the manufactured materials, i have the science down for encoded and raw already. This video was extremely helpful, thanks so much!

Manufactured Materials. If you are like me and need a lot of everything, try this. Go to Galaxy map, sort by economy, mark them all, plot route to trader and use Economical route, and follow video instructions at each stop. When you get to trader you should have what you need or can trade for what you need or just reload limpets and go again.

I have suggested this amazing video to about 40 people over the last 7 months. You rock sir.

Awesome work! Thanks. I spent half the day trying to find High Grade Emissions until I realized that I had to scan in super cruise. Then I found some right away.

This is one of my favourite go-to videos in ED! Thank you for your hard work. Still works in 2021, however it is humanly impossible to go from 0-150 of Raw Materiral gathering in 15 minutes. I believe FDev decided that there can't be too much grind and slightly nerfed it. You can see that even that the shot down mats even look different in your vdeo than in the current version of ED. Your look like fancy alien pinecones while the ones we get now are boring little gray sticks. A bit of math: 15 minutes is equal to 900 seconds. We need to collect 50 shards from the needles (each one gives us 3). That gives us 18 seconds per mat collection. This includes: finding the crystalline cluster, aligning to the correct angle so we shoot at the hitbox (even with the turret deployed it takes a bit of driving and cornering), shooting the mat down, waiting for it to fall (5-30 seconds, avg. 12sec), finally collecting it. Not to mention that 5-10% of the materials get stuck in the needles and some of the hitboxes are only possible to shoot only when jumping. I have tried different methods and I'm not the worst SRV driver out there but was never able to get anything done faster than 29 minutes. I assumed that the best approach would be to shoot a bunch of the shards down and then scoop them up all in one go but thanks to FDev they disappear after a short while. So yeah...

I had the hardest time finding proto alloys using this guide. After reading around the best I could figure out is that they seem to tend to drop in high tech economies.

The work that you put into these guides is worth a big chunk of cheese (if I had any) it is the best , Thank's

When using the SRV at Jameson Memorial you can scan the data from the turret's seat, that way you don't have to drive around to aim at the different Comms Controls (it's set to 'U' key at my game). Conversely when shooting the raw material boxes you can just lock target (it's set to 'T' key at my game) while driving and the turret will auto aim at them if it has the angle for it. Just a newbye tip, took me a bit to figure it out. lol P.S: thanks for the awesome guides as always!

Hey Hawkes, I am new and I have been using your Guide farming for materials and i was at HIP 12099. I found a place called stack on a -1. it is an abandoned settlement. if you land next to it and get in your SRV you can do a circuit around the settlement and pick up 7 materials. the ones that have been showing up are, Crystal Shards Heat Conduction Wiring Mechanical Scrap Salvaged Alloys Chemical Processors Heat Dispersion Plate Shield Emitters Tagged Encryption Codes i have been using your trick to back out to the main menu then log back in and the 7 material points respawn. I do another circuit in the SRV then repeat. thanks for your help in finding this. love your videos.

Best guide out there by far but still be prepared for a grind! From my personal experience, keep ALL manufactured mats, only trade the imperial shielding as everything else can be a nightmare to find! I traded out a few thinking it would be as easy to find again and it really hasn’t

Tip: the first time you do the farm for raw mats. please dont blow up. sell your exploration data so you don't have to scan the planets again

Biological site 10 seemed to be a troll to me, it was not just hilly, it was mountainous lol, couldn't get traction and nearly destroyed my SRV. Don't get me started on the parking!

I can confirm that Biological Site 1 on HIP 36601 C 5 A is a pretty solid Technetium location. Danke!

This is a great video. I already knew all of this, but I could not have communicated it as well as you did. Thanks for your work in the community, CMDR.

Dude, your videos are awesome! Thanks so much for these high quality uploads!

you did this vid on my b-day that's awesome

thank u friend, u are a friend

Your characters facial expression is a mood in itself, which I feel a sort of kinship with, lol.

Can confirm all still works. Thanks for the guide, this is the best engineering mats guide out there by miles. You're a legend Hawkes Gaming, thank you :)

Speaking about Supercapacitors. Everything applies here as you mentioned. However instead to focus on HGEs with around 20~40 minutes, try those with 15 minutes remaining. Only then you will find these materials. Also this will only apply once you enter Star System. So jump to a Star, Discover with Scanner and locate HGEs with less then 15 minutes.

Alright, CMDRs. Time to finish fully engineering my Vette because I grew bored of grinding the materials

The fact that this is the prefered method of collecting engi mats really shows just how sad of a state engineering is atm. :/

This guide is great. Not only is it fast, the locations are actually really fun to visit if you slow down and enjoy a little... at least the first few times :p

Holy wow, I will forever be in debt to you for this absolute gem of info. You are a Legend!!

HIP 36601 C 5 A = Technetium: Go for Site 3! Absolutely the best, more or less completely flat and you can land right next to it, be careful not to get too close so you can activate your turret :D

Bio site 6 is also a good choice; nice and flat terrain, crystalline structures are decently spaced apart

Hey mate, thanks for this great vid! Farming the mats was much easier (and fun!) with your guide. Now, for HIP 36601 C 5 A = Technetium, I strongly recommend Bio site #4. It is flat terrain, smooth, crystal formations well spaced so you can maneuver in speed the SRV or even jump-catch the falling crystals, plus a lot of other materials (at least 20 pieceous cobbles with phosphorus, Sulphur, iron etc.)

Also, make sure this is the first place where you go to farm Raw materials as each site has tones of the other rank 2 and 3 materials as well. Specially, do this before trading down raw materials.

Thank you. I came looking just for this.

I just went C1 A (Polonium) for the first time. 15 minutes, you can do that in? Kudos to you, sir! Took me easily an hour plus, what with nearly every cluster on the opposite facing of the crystal shard. I spent more time circling the things trying to find where it would actually allow me to blow the cluster off the shard than I did anything else. 🤣

Your videos along with Sepulcher Geist have made playing Elite feel less like beating my head against a wall and more like actually making some progress. Also, Roots of Legend is my favorite YT music library song.

Man, I cannot thank you enough! If you have a twitch channel just tell me and I will throw you a subscription just to show my gratitude!

your HGE's seem to have changed or are just mixed up but thx a ton for the vid helped a lot

Dude, after 6 years and over 2000 hrs, all your videos have improved my wnjoyment of this game. All I wanna do is play and pvp not work 3 times as hard to appease rngesus

Best Elite video...ever! Thanks!!

This is still working as of 21st June 2020 on Xbox. Ensure you exit the game using the Xbox Guide Button, pressing Start on ED and Quit the game before reloading again and selecting the mode you left. It won't work if you just go to the Main Menu.
