WHERE & HOW TO FARM Where to farm A visited Resource Depot reachable from the mining sector; confirm its available services in the depot interface.
R-mining fills cargo with raw ore that needs processing. A Resource Depot provides the refining stop for that haul, so identify a reachable depot before a long mining run. At the depot, inspect the available transaction and keep the amount needed for construction before selling surplus.
Before you go Raw ore cargo from an R-mining run. Ship cargo capacity sufficient to reach the depot with the haul. Credits if the offered processing or transaction requires them. A specific material reserve goal so you know what to retain. Before leaving for a mining sector, identify a reachable Resource Depot on the galaxy map. Mine the target asteroids using R-mining, keeping enough cargo space for the raw ore. Return to the depot and open its trade or processing interface. Review the listed ore and available refining or sale options before confirming a transaction. Process the raw ore needed for ship building or upgrades. Retain the refined resources required for your planned construction and sell only genuine surplus. Check remaining cargo and credits, then return to the asteroid field if more raw ore is needed. Repeat the depot visit after each haul rather than allowing raw ore to crowd out future cargo. Farming tips R-mined ore occupies cargo during transit, so cargo capacity and depot distance shape how much a run can carry. Keep a construction reserve before selling; local prices can differ, so compare offers when the goal is economic value. Repeat, collect and use Repeatable for each R-mining haul; the amount processed depends on the ore delivered and the depot’s available options.
Common mistakes Leaving raw ore aboard and assuming it is already usable: process it at a Resource Depot. Selling the full load before checking build needs: reserve the materials required for the next ship project. Launching without a return depot plan: choose a reachable processing stop before filling the hold. When to stop or switch Stop processing when the construction reserve is met and further refining has no immediate use; resume when another build or upgrade creates demand.
