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

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

\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.

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.

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

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.

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

Press \c(fff)[${shift}]\c() while issuing certain orders to enchain them.

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.

If you want your ship to perform orders that deal with more than one target or that are stretched over multiple sectors, command it via the \c(0d0)Galaxy Map\c().

With the necessary funds, it can be transformed into a station.

When buying a ship at a \c(0d0)Shipyard\c() you can choose to order a \c(0d0)Station Founder\c().

They will be able to extract materials from asteroids.
