\c(0d0)Iron\c() is the simplest material.

Those can extract the metal ores and scrap metals very quickly, but your ship will have to collect and store the unrefined metals and it will need a \c(0d0)Cargo Bay\c() to do so.

It is thanks to their simplicity, that they have a way higher efficiency when it comes to collecting materials.

Instead, they'll only break down asteroids into bits of \c(0d0)ore\c().

They deal \c(0d0)more damage\c() and have a \c(0d0)higher efficiency\c(), but won't refine materials on the spot.

Raw Mining Lasers (or short: \c(0d0)R-Mining Lasers\c()) are a special kind of Mining Laser.

R-Mining

To learn more about them, read the chapter on \c(0d0)Refining\c().

There are \c(0d0)Refining Mining Lasers\c() and \c(0d0)Raw Mining Lasers\c().

All \c(0d0)Mining Lasers\c() are made for specific materials and are only capable of mining the next higher and all lower materials.

To find asteroids with hidden resources, install an \c(0d0)Object Detector Subsystem\c().

Only a very small percentage of the bland looking asteroids may have resources hidden inside of them and it is generally not worth mining non-resource asteroids.

Once you have installed it on your ship, open the \c(0d0)Trading Overview Window\c() which has appeared in the top right of your screen.

The higher the \c(0d0)rarity\c() of the subsystem you have installed, the more information it will give you.

Most asteroids that are worth mining can be recognized by the colorful material residue on their surface.
