If you purchase the reports (like 500-750 credits per mineral), your galaxy map will be updated with tags for, say, 'Eezo-rich planet' or Platinum-rich planet' and so forth - directing you to the exact planet that is absolutely chock-full of the required mineral.
But after you complete that DLC, a feature is unlocked that will allow you to purchase 'mining reports.'īasically, the game tells you where to find planets that are rich in specific minerals. Don't know if you have Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC or not.
