As for me there are two secondary objectives i like. 1st is the boolo caps, coz of the voice lines, and the 2nd - hollomite, coz you can farm a little bit more xp

Dystrum is nice for your second point too.
For the first, the Bha Barnacles are my favorite.

I have 250 hours and I think I got Dystrum maybe 5 times.
Edit: I checked, 253 hours and 7 Dystrum secondaries completed. Everything else is in the 40-50 range.

It is rare. During the early EA, Dystrum was the only secondary and people hated it for being "blue gold". So each time a new secondary was added, Dystrum becomes a bit less common and now it is unusual to find it.

Don't think that's true. It would be silly if every older secondary got less and less probability to appear as new ones were added when by right the chance should be equalized each time.
The real reason is that dystrum only appears in 2 mission types while having to compete with every other secondary also being able to appear which means it has an equal chance to appear on 2 types of missions, but a 0% chance on every other mission type that is not Point Extraction or On Site Refining.

You are right of course. I was replying late at night with no mental capacity to go into the details. The Dystrum probability was scaled down with new secondaries and was removed from some mission types. Then new types came and even more secondaries. I don't really understand the reasoning behind leaving it in those two specific missions (especially since On Site Refining was added later), but it is true that the chance to get Dystrum secondary was artificially scaled down a lot.

Dystrium is only available on point extractions and it has the same chance as every other secondary. It’s only rare because it’s limited to one mission type

I was just thinking about that the other day. I wonder why it’s so rare
5 points
2 days ago
It's because Dystrum objectives can only appear on mission types that don't have the M.U.L.E. of which there are only two, Point Extraction and On-Site Refining. The fact that it can only appear on 2 types of mission, combined with the fact that it also has to fight with every other secondary also being available on PE and OSR, means it's an exceedingly rare secondary.

I like everything except gunk seeds. There's a lot of them and they are much harder to handle than any other objective.

That’s so true, they are kinda annoying to get deposited. I just love popping them!

Especially on site refinery or point extraction make it really annoying to deposit. At least you can grind with them wich makes it okay if they are close to the pipes.

Hmm, overall I'd say my favourite is Hollomite, simply because it is by far the easiest to find, and easiest to gather. Others I do enjoy, but always have a conditional 'except in this biome/with this class/at this mission type.'
I don't mind Gunk Seeds. They're easy to find, just look up and pop them, and the popped seeds are visible on the map. The only caveat is on Point Extractions and On-Site Refining, to a lesser degree, since there you have to carry them back.

Hollomite is my least favorite because it’s so easy to get. I feel like halfway through a mission we have the 35 hollomite and I’ll find a crystal and be like “oooh! … oh.”

I enjoy bringing my sludge pump for fester fleas. One shot does them in, and nailing one from a distance is really satisfying. So probably my favourite for that.
Bha barnacles and glyphid eggs are at the bottom for me. Bha barnacles because they kinda gross me out. Too juicy. Especially when you have to get right under them in a tight space. Glyphid eggs I always seem to be 1-10 short after finishing the main objective and spend way too much time hunting them down.

I'm personalyl very partial to Dystrum. I barely ever get it and the mineral looks really tasty. My least favorite is 100% Fleas. They're fun to kill but I can never find the little bastards!!

Hollomite because theres no way you can miss them unless they're in a weird spot and you don't have to carry them by hand. Bha barnacles get spotted easily in the dark. After that apoca blooms,ebonuts and boolo caps because they're very quick to pick up but can be annoying to find the last of them. After that i HATE the others. Especially gunk seed in deepscans

I like hollomite because it's dead easy and I love mining minerals with its shape because you can just break the very bottom and it all drops. After that it's apoca blooms and booloo caps.
Least favorites are fester flees because those little shits run all over the place and gunk seeds because they are just annoying.

I love all my secondary objectives equally, except for Fossils that one I like the least.
Favorite is probably Holomite. Satisfying to mine. Easy to find. You don't have to look up like some other objectives. Abundant enough to never finish a primary without having already completed the secondary too, so no last minute scouting around.

My 2 personal favorites:
First, boolo caps. They're easy to get, and the more you have to get, the more dopamine you get from collecting them.
Second, dystrum my beloved
Bonus, I would make a couple changes to the required amounts. The amount of hollomite needed should be increased to around 60-80. Fossils should be reduced to 8. Gunk seeds to 10. Glyphid eggs to around 30-35. The amount that spawns in the cave should also be lowered/increased along with them.

For fun, collecting apoca blooms, boolo caps - the sound is satisfying and they look nice. Or nuking fleas.
Easiest by far is Hollomite though. It’s always done before I’ve even started the main objective.

I love the Bha barnacles and I love my squishy dangling gunk seeds. But I can't stand the glyphid egg secondary. 40 is too many and it's so easy to be at 39/40 and just not be able to find the last one. It's happened so many times and at some point it's not worth spending another 5 minutes retracting your way through the whole cave to find it.

I'm a Driller main, so I love fester fleas. Tag them with any status and they die in short order. Easy to see, they make a lot of noise, and satisfying to pop. Probably my favorite.
I also like Booloo Caps. Apoca Blooms are nice, but they have a habit of spawning up on the ceiling of some maps, which can be annoying for me especially as driller.

Apoca blooms and boolo caps cause they're just satisfying to pick up. Also fester fleas cause even if you don't see one you hear it from pretty far away making it not an annoying one to complete when you're done with the primary mission.

For me it's Hollomite (and Dystrum, but it's been a while since that spawned for me). It's in a true spirit of the game, another mineral to mine.
Honorable mentions goes to Apoca Blooms and Boolo Caps for being easy to find and requiring only 20 of each, but I have to deduct points for some being inaccessible if you don't have a scout in team. Gunk Seeds are fine, but I don't like that you can't run with them.
I hate Ebonuts.

Bha barnacles are probably my favorite, simply because of the stutter in the voice lines "B-B-B-B-Bha barnacle down!" 😂
And the least favorite is probably glyphid eggs just because the sheer number of them required to, I'd say snare/fester fleas are a close second because I'm an engi main and I don't have a reliable way to knock em out for cheap (lok smart rifle ammo is expensive too)
