Planetary Mining Outpost

A remote mining outpost turns another planet's veins into a practical supply for local factories. Planetary Logistics Stations and drones move the ore without requiring a continuous belt between sites.

WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

A vein deposit on another planet in the same star system.

Choose a planet in the same star system with the resource you need, mine a deposit, and configure a supply station. A second station on that planet demands the item and feeds the factory, or a station at the mine can supply another station through the planetary drone network.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

Mining Machine and belts
Local power on the mining planet
Two Planetary Logistics Stations
Logistics Drones and receiving belts

Inspect the planet's resource listings and travel to the world containing the target vein.
Place a Mining Machine over the vein and connect power and an output belt.
Place a Planetary Logistics Station and belt the mined item into it.
Set the source station's item to supply and load it with logistics drones.
At the receiving factory on the same planet, place another station and set the same item to demand.
Load drones there as needed and connect the station's filtered output belt to production.
Check station power and inventories while the drones establish the transfer.

Farming tips

Stations need power; a newly placed station can put a meaningful load on a small grid while charging.
Keep each station's item settings and output belt filter aligned with the ore you are moving.

Repeat, collect and use

The drone transfer repeats as the mine supplies ore and the receiving factory consumes it. Mining is limited by the veins at the outpost.

Common mistakes

Setting a station to demand at both ends or supply at both ends; configure opposite roles for the same item.
Expecting a belt to cross between planets; use drones and logistics stations for the transfer.
Leaving the receiving station without a filtered belt connection; set its output filter and connect the consumer.

When to stop or switch

Stop building out the route when the factory has enough ore for its current production. Add mining capacity or another deposit if the source patch depletes or demand grows.
