We're talking about planetary landings - needless to say you're going to need Elite Dangerous: Horizons dawg.

Throughout the Milky Way there are oodles of marked and unmarked locations of volcanic activity. They're interesting sites to visit of their own accord, but they're a reliable place to find all materials (discoverable via a detailed serface scan) available on a world.

So what better way to fill your material hold by shooting up million year old, prestine wonders of the galaxy eh?

At all locations you'll find three types of objects attached to various geological formations, shooting these off with your SRV and collecting them will give you the material drop x3, pretty much function the same as the various rocks you're currently use to wacking away at.

There are three objects:

• Cobble - Very common elemental materials - Iron, Sulphur etc. Ignore tier.
  
• Crystaline Formation - Common and Rare - Germanium, Cadmium etc.
  
• Needle Crystals - Very Rare - Yttrium, Antimony and all that good stuff.

Because sometimes you gotta fill your tank with metal for various engineering materials or you're harvesting jumponium for a big trip. While these locations won't nessisarily have the 'best' drop rates for particular materials, they're a good spot to get an easy dose, before striking out to the horizon with the SRV.

The below list radiating out from Sol breaks down locations and their potential drops. These locations contain tourist beacons and as such are incredibly easy to locate and planetfall at. These becons will be visible in the Navigation panel once within 500 ls of the target body. Easy peasy.

• All common material rates - Iron, Sulphur, Phosphorus, Carbon etc - are ommited. You're probably drowning in this stuff already.
  
• The above common material will only drop from Cobble, ignore these. Focus on Crystals and Needle crystals.
  
• All "Jumponium" material aka FSD Boost synthesis is denoted by [J1], [J2-3] etc.

1. The current list of known Tourist Beacons[docs.google.com], where the known volcanic sites with nav beacons was pulled from. Many thanks to CMDRs Lucienn, Sajime, Chent-Shi, Jackie Silver and the many contributors to this document and the corisponding Frontier forums thread. [forums.frontier.co.uk]

2. Many - likely MILLIONS - of other sites exist within the bubble. However there is no comphensive list bringing their locations together, rather sporadic random finds made by various Commanders.

3. Various lifeforms such as "braintrees" and space fungi also have the same quality as volcanic sites. No such known sites exist within the bubble. One set of these trees that's not a crazy distance out (say out Colonia way) is: SYNUEFE ZL-J D10-119 PLANET: 7A COORDINATES: 18.6177 -172.8338, at around 850 Lys from Sol.
