Iron can be found in large quantities at the edge of the galaxy.

Only basic necessities can be built from Iron, but Iron is the only known material that can be used for building \c(0d0)Inertia Dampeners\c().

Some \c(0d0)Mining Lasers\c() and \c(0d0)Salvaging Lasers\c() are able to directly extract resources from asteroids or wrecks.

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

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

It's heavy but very easy to form, so blocks made from Iron don't cost a lot of money, but ships made from Iron are rather weak and heavy and thus won't steer very well.

Special \c(0d0)Salvaging Lasers\c() allow to extract materials and equipment from wreckages.

The ores can then later be refined at a \c(0d0)Resource Depot\c()'s refinery into normal materials.

The ores you collect won't be stored in your bank immediately, but in your \c(0d0)Cargo Bay\c(), so to effectively mine with these lasers, \c(0d0)Cargo Blocks\c() are required on the ship.

\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.
