Raw Materials
Embedded Files
This website is a re-host of the old site ED Materials managed by IM2D which was sadly terminated on February 3rd, 2024.
Most raw materials can be found from geological and biological sites as well as surface prospecting while roaming the surface for the planet.
High grades except Selenium are obtainable at biological sites located around 1500 light years from Sol.
You can obtain High Grade Raw Materials on the specified planets however, they will not be clustered like they are in Horizons Version 3.8.
If Crystal Shards are too far for you and want a closer alternative, you may use this table.
You will be extracting Phloem Excretions from Brain Trees. These are good alternatives to the Crystal Shards.
Advantages
They are closer than the Crystal Shards, at just over 300 light years, the furthest of around 400 light years.
You can desktop reload to refresh the farms.
They are in the direction of the Guardian Ruins. Near the recommended Selenium material farming location.
Disadvantages
Since you are extracting Phloem Excretion from Brain Trees, they are one kind of 4 different protrusions found on these exobiological plants, which makes them a lot slower than their Crystal Shard versions.
Not all Brain Tree positions upon relog will be the same.
These materials are not centralized in one system like the Shards.
Using Spansh Plotter
If you plot directly from the bubble to the crystal shards locations, you will come across a plotting issue.
This is because the Universal Cartographics will plot a direct line through Permit Locked Regions. It is advised to plot using Spansh.
ED Discovery Compass is an overlay to help guide CMDRs from your current position to the destination.
You must have the EDDiscovery tool downloaded and installed to use EDDiscovery Compass.
