I'll go ahead and restart this thread with an explanation of Geological and Biological signals(sites).

Geological sites contain what people call Crystal Shards, though that's not actually what they are(they are Silicate Vapor Gas Vents/Furmoles/Geysers/Lava Spouts), yes the growth that contains a RAW is called one of 4 names, in order of priority, to follow:

UPDATED 4-15-22

1-Needle Crystals-Yields G4 RAW mats exclusively of one kind, although not G4 Selenium, as it is always present in the G2 host.
2-Crystalline Cluster-Yields randomly G3 RAW mats on planet.
3-Crystalline Fragments-Yields randomly G2 RAW mats contained on planet. If Selenium is present on the planet with another G4 mat, then the Crystalline fragment will randomly yield G2 mats and G4 Selenium.
4-Pecious Cobble-Yields randomly G1 RAW mats contained on planet.

Biological sites contain Roseum and Livdum Brain Trees(and other type Brain Trees, yet discovered), that carry a mat yielding object, in order of priority, to follow:

1-Phloem Excretion-Yields G4 Raw mat exclusively of one kind, although not G4 Selenium, as it is always present in the G2 host.
2-Mussidean Seed Pod-Yields randomly G3 Raw mats contained on planet.
3-Polyporous Growth-Yields randomly G2 Raw mats contained on planet. If Selenium is present on the planet with another G4 mat, then the Polyporous growth will randomly yield G2 mats and G4 Selenium.
4-Cordycep Growth-Yields randomly G1 Raw mats contained on planet.

First change is that Selenium which is a G4 Raw mat, is never present in the G4 host, the Needle crystal or Phloem excretion that I know of. It is present in the G2 host when there are two G4 mats on a planet. I haven't yet seen a planet with just Selenium as the only G4 Raw mat. But I'm sure they must exist?

Second change is I had Mussidean seed as third priority and Polyporous Growth the second priority, those have been switched as I had them backwards.

Biological and Geological signal/sites on the same planet give the same mats. So if a Biological site gives Tellurium in the Phloem Excretion on a planet, then the Needle Crystal in the Geological site also gives Tellurium in the Needle crystal! Capisce!

Thats that. Lets get on with it! LOL

Very good info RAM22.
Thank you. Keep them coming.

Keep up the good work Ram, appreciate the effort and sharing it with us.

I concur with my esteemed colleague DBond.

Wow... this is an amazing collection of information. I may have to scoot back out there for some prospecting.

Thanks guys!! I'm still at it. Also found a couple errors regarding the Biological and Geological sites.

I'll update my first post with the following information:

1-Needle Crystals-Yields G4 RAW mats exclusively of one kind, although not G4 Selenium, as it is always present in the G2 host.
2-Crystalline Cluster-Yields randomly G3 RAW mats on planet.
3-Crystalline Fragments-Yields randomly G2 RAW mats contained on planet. If Selenium is present on the planet with another G4 mat, then the Crystalline fragment will randomly yield G2 mats and G4 Selenium.
4-Pecious Cobble-Yields randomly G1 RAW mats contained on planet.

Biological sites contain Roseum and Livdum Brain Trees(and other type Brain Trees, yet discovered), that carry a mat yielding object, in order of priority, to follow:

1-Phloem Excretion-Yields G4 Raw mat exclusively of one kind, although not G4 Selenium, as it is always present in the G2 host.
2-Mussidean Seed Pod-Yields randomly G3 Raw mats contained on planet.
3-Polyporous Growth-Yields randomly G2 Raw mats contained on planet. If Selenium is present on the planet with another G4 mat, then the Polyporous growth will randomly yield G2 mats and G4 Selenium.
4-Cordycep Growth-Yields randomly G1 Raw mats contained on planet.

First change is that Selenium which is a G4 Raw mat, is never present in the G4 host, the Needle crystal or Phloem excretion that I know of. It is present in the G2 host when there are two G4 mats on a planet. I haven't yet seen a planet with just Selenium as the only G4 Raw mat. But I'm sure they must exist?

Second change is I had Mussidean seed as third priority and Polyporous Growth the second priority, those have been switched as I had them backwards.

Have several other planet write ups ready to post, will get them up hopefully tomorrow, if not this weekend for sure.

I visited a second Guardian module structure and picked up a couple more bluprints. So now I have 10 blueprints, and there are only 6 needed as there are only 6 modules! LOL

I also went to a Guardian weapon structure, Synuefe CE-R C21-6 and stayed there a whole day. There are 18 Guardian weapons, sooooo, I got 18 blueprints!

Along the way, farmed the Obelisks in different Ancient ruins and have everything maxed to 150.

Next stop, going to Synuefe KU-F B44-4 to retrieve the 3 keys for the fighters, then on to the Guardian fighter blueprints site.

As of now, I have no plans to set a ship up with Guardian weapons or put a fighter bay on any of my ships, that will happen later, much later.

I just figure, I'm out here, so why not get it all in one shot while I'm scanning systems on my way back to 'da bubble!

Cheers!

Workaholic!

Guardian info:

Planet A 1 - Guardian Beacon. You retrieve the Ancient key from the machine to use at the Guardian structure in System Synuefe EU-Q C21-15, Planet A 1, to get the Guardian Fighter Blueprints.

These are the 3 Energy Pylons, they have the blue light emitting from them, in the middle is the machine that holds the Orb:



This is a closer shot of one of the pylons, you don't need to lock them up:



At the curved end of the pylons you need to shoot the blue headlight, lol, that is below the blue light emitting on the opposite side with a beam laser:



Once you start blasting the first energy pylons blue light, a timer starts and you have 3 minutes to charge all three. Then the machine begins to open up accompanied by a light show, and splits apart:



Once apart, the Orb appears:



Get as close to the Orb as you can, lock it up and scan it with your Data Link scanner.

Once that happens the machine will begin to close and an Ancient Key will appear at the top of the machine:



Use your cargo scoop to retrieve it. If you bump into it, it may get stuck, so be careful as I had a few get stuck and tried for a while to get it but I couldn't. Though one time I was able to get it but it took a while to fish it out.

There are 3 Guardian fighters, so I got 3 Ancient keys while I was there.

I'll go ahead and post the system and map of System Synuefe EU-Q C21-15, Planet A 1 next, as this post relates with it, even though I didn't do it right after I got the keys.
