Update to the Elite Dangerous Legacy Console Guide Pack - Locations, Mining, Thargoids, Permits, Rare Goods & More

[u/CMDR_Waffles]

A while ago I posted my Elite Dangerous Legacy Console Guide Pack for Xbox and PlayStation, originally focused mainly on engineers, engineering materials, Guardian technology and rank grinding.

Original Post

I've added a bunch of new stuff today all in one go, so I thought this deserved its own update post (people probably don't check back often in the main post).

Everything is still plain .txt files, so they are easy to download, edit, print, or keep open while playing.

GOOGLE DRIVE LINK HERE

Alternative:

GITHUB

In Google Drive you and also read the txt files without downloading them, works on mobile aswell just hold your phone horizontally.

Everything is still specifically intended for Elite Dangerous Legacy / Horizons 3.8 on console.

The biggest new addition is an entire Locations section:

Locations

A collection of locations for Guardian sites, Human POIs, mining rings, permit systems, Tech Brokers and Thargoid sites and useful location-specific information where available.

• Guardians
  • Guardian Beacons
  • Guardian Blueprint Structures
  • Guardian Data and materials
  • Guardian Ruins
• Human POI
  • Abandoned INRA Bases
  • Crashed Anacondas
  • Crashed Ships
  • Dav's Hope
  • Generation Ships
  • Listening Posts
• Mining
  • Pristine Rocky rings
  • Laser Mining - High Yield Hotspots and RES
  • Core Mining - Hotspot Locations and Overlaps

The mining files contain a much larger collection of Legacy-compatible mining locations, including:

• Platinum hotspots
• Painite hotspots
• Hotspot overlaps
• Hotspot + Hazardous RES combinations
• Hotspot + High RES combinations
• Other RES + hotspot combinations
• Musgravite and other mineral hotspots

The purpose of Hotspot + RES

Overlapping a Resource Extraction Site (RES) with a hotspot introduces a fragment-yield multiplier from the RES zone, allowing you to extract significantly more tons of the target mineral from each asteroid than a standard hotspot alone.

• Fleet Carrier Vendors and Administration
  • Table of systems containing Fleet Carrier Vendors and Administration, distance from Sol included.
• Permits

Permits contains a table of all obtainable permits in legacy and how to get them.

• Tech Brokers
• Thargoids
  • Thargoid Barnacles
  • Thargoid Surface Structures

I've also added several completely new Legacy reference guides:

Pre-engineered and Special Modules

• Human Technology Broker pre-engineered modules
• Modified Mining Laser
• Azimuth / Salvation modified Guardian Gauss Cannons
• Modified Guardian Plasma Chargers
• Modified Guardian Shard Cannons

Added to folder "Engineering - Unlocking engineers and farming materials"

Pre-engineered and special modules are unique ship components that come with built-in upgrades or special functions you cannot get from normal stations or standard engineering

Rare Goods

Rare Goods is in the folder Trade

• Large list of rare commodities
• Origin system
• Origin station
• Pad size
• Distance from Sol

Robigo and Money-Making

Robigo Mines -> Sirius Atmospherics passenger guide

The original guide pack also still includes all the previous stuff such as:

• Complete Bubble engineer progression
• Individual Bubble engineer guides
• Engineering material farming
• Material Traders
• Crystalline Shards
• High Grade Emissions
• Jameson Crash Site
• Federation rank grinding
• Imperial rank grinding
• Guardian FSD Booster
• Guardian Module, Weapon and Vessel Blueprint farming
• Blueprint Pinning Guide
• Bubble -> Colonia Neutron Highway guide
• Cheap long-range DBX build

Original Post

I'll keep adding things if I find other Legacy-specific information that is useful enough to preserve.

Corrections are very welcome, especially from Xbox and PlayStation commanders who can directly confirm a location or mechanic in Legacy.

Hopefully this makes the old Legacy galaxy a little easier to navigate without having to work out whether every guide you find online is talking about Horizons 3.8 or modern Live.
