Would it be faster to just get a mining laser and shoot asteroids than landing on planets and scouring for resource nodes when it comes to gathering materials like phosphorus and manganese? (yiffit.net)

Driving around on the planets for these things is maddening. They're so far apart, barely drop what I'm looking for, and there's never really any danger to break up the monotony.

Can I obtain these materials for engineering/synthesis from asteroids, or do those only drop the cargo space minerals used for trade?

The raw material notes in that sheet apply only to legacy. For live, it's the same planets, but you either drop in the blue and look yourself, or you navigate to some known coordinates. https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/live-4-0-materials-farming.610751/#post-10004234
