How do I find good mining spots?
By Emily Wilson •
I have a mining laser and a fault tracker and want to do some mining. However, most asteroid fields I come across only have worthless Metallic Ore with a few pieces of Obtainium. The only exception was an ice field which had some more vaulable stuff.
How do I find places that have more valuable materials? Is there a way to spot them without having to scan every minable asteroid individually to find out if there is anything valuable in the area?

If you find the hackable transmitters flying around, about one in three times they tell you the location of mining spots. I haven't tried to quantify it, but my sense is they are better than the ones you find randomly. You do usually have to fight a few enemies when you arrive.
