How Space Mining Works

1

Get a Ship & Laser

Purchase/craft Mining Lasers. Complete Howling Mine mission for free Pioneer ship.

2

Find Asteroids

Travel to asteroid belts. Look for arrows above mineable asteroids.

3

Mine & Collect

Use laser to destroy asteroids. Minerals auto-collect to inventory.

4

Process Tailings

Use Tailing Recycle Stations at space stations to get refined minerals.

⚠️ Space is Dangerous!

Most asteroid belts are in PVP zones. Howling Mine is lootable PVP - pirates can take your stackable items and mined resources when they kill you. Only safe zones are around space stations. Always empty lootable inventory tabs before venturing out!
